    Lost my 2019 flight records

    Somewhere in my switch from iPhone to Crystalsky, I seem to have lost all my 2019 Mavic flight records. Not cached on either device. Not at DJI. Any advice?

    Flying from a boat

    And when hand launching from a boat, check the drift direction. The aircraft wants to stand still, and the boat (including you!) may drift straight into the rotors.

    Flying from a boat
