Thanks all for the guidance!

Finally was able to get the DAT files off the controller. I welcome and appreciate any further analysis, @sar104 et. al. I wasn't sure which if these two files it was as I had two flights that day: DAT file 1: 19-05-26-05-21-51_FLY015.DAT DAT file 2: 19-05-26-07-34-49_FLY017.DAT The thing that...

@Meta4 @runeOfRune @sar104 Thanks very much for your further analysis. It's been very enlightening to learn about how low GPS signal can cause uncontrolled drifts. Certainly didn't learn that from all of the flying tutorial YouTubes I've watched. I'll be repairing/replacing my Mavic, and taking...

Looking at the logs, though, it doesn't seem like it ever entered ATTI mode. It was in P-GPS the whole time, and particularly at the time (19m 0s) when the drifting and crash started.

@Meta4, super, super helpful. Thank you. I foolishly and mistakenly assumed that when the GPS bar turned green, I was good to go. I'll learn to keep a better eye on the number of satellites and the GPS health. And very good to know that low GPS signal can cause the drone to drift unexpectedly...

Thanks, much apperciated. Great idea on contact DJI regarding a warranty replacement. I did not calibrate either of those things; I made the false assumption that if calibration was needed the app/controller would have prompted me to do so. I'll definitely make a habit of calibrating before...

New Mavic pilot with a sad story of a crash. I'm very much looking to learn from this, as well as figure out why the drone was seemingly flying on its own, and then fell from the sky. My flight log is attached. I began the flight with GPS, 8 satellites, and a home point set. The flight...
