I agree. I've often looked at the word and thought, "Mission? I've been on missions in the military but a mission this is not." It's a flight. Mission is far too serious for a hobby. Some definitions: (1) an operation carried out by military aircraft. "He was shot down on a supply mission"...

Don't know if this is the right forum (general discussion instead?) but here goes. Has anybody experienced a loss of pairing between the RC and the drone? I don't mean on the ground. I mean in the air. In my case, the drone did an RTH but the levers did not control it, not even when the drone...

Thanks for your response, c64-dev. MaximusCZ, this may answer your question about CareRefresh. As I am still under CareRefresh, I clicked on the DJI web CareRefresh link and saw a $69 fee. I didn't pursue it and then talked to a DJI agent who told me not to click on the CareRefresh link but...

Care Refresh is under a year. I talked to a DJI agent. Her English was Chinese-accented and not easy to understand but she tried to be clear. I am not certain on all she said but she told me that the DJI tech would determine if I paid any replacement cost after I explained the overheating...

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I still have a question. Given the web links I found, I wound up being told I must pay $69 for a replacement. Yet, I have Care Refresh and am still under it. This does not seem right. It's not my fault. Is there another approach I can take to DJI?

This is from my Airdata log: Aircraft processor overheated. Automatically returning to home (Code: 30185). Aircraft overheated. Automatically returning to home (Code: 120740) So I let it RTH. The log reads that battery temperature was 99.1 F (37.3 C) and the weather was 55.8 F (13.2 C). I...

What: Mini 2 Total Loss Joy Stick Control Why?: Log says "high interference environment" When: Normal day, no wind, 21 satellite signals How Saved: Pressed RTH to bring it home No need to respond to this. Before I posted I reviewed the flight log and quite clearly nothing in it would help. I...

Thanks for the response. That was good information. My MA2 doesn't have that problem. Upon inspection the screens and filters are found to be clean. The drone is almost brand new, having been nowhere near dirt, sand, or grime. It has only gone from the house to clean paving in the back...

Drone: Mavic Air 2. Time: Immediately on RC connection to drone & drone is cold (room temp) Warning: Microchip overheating in red and upper left corner of iPad screen Effect: Press takeoff and nothing happens Okay, that out of the way, let me say that this has happened in the last two days. It...

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Can somebody explain the name and function of this icon? I circled it in yellow. It turns red, seemingly when the signal is weak, so I vaguely know its function, but that's not a real explanation. I captured this screen shot from the web. Also sometimes I have seen next to it dual arrow...

Wind can blow the drone off its true GPS coordinates so the internal compass thinks it's somewhere else. That happened to me with the drone going into ATTI mode about 2000 feet out. Then it came out of ATTI but I still almost lost it as it kept thinking it was somewhere else. I finally landed...

Thanks for your response. I did a search for direct links/relinking instructions and only found them for the GO 4 app. Maybe DJI Fly has that possibilty but I didn't find any sources. Anyhow, it seems I am back in business after spending the whole afternoon and evening on this. Everything...

Today, 21 Feb 2021, I got a prompt to download firmware and a DJI Fly App update. I don't recall if the firmware was for both my Mini 2 and my Air 2, but I know I did it for the Air 2. Now I get this notification: "RC not connected to mobile device." Both drones have become inoperable. I have...
