    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    The flight log details are stored on the remote, which in this case was my phone. P.S. Nice to see someone local. I'm 10min from Marlow.

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    Hi, I'm replying specially to your comment because you query about what would happen if I tried to go into the settings to disable the zone whilst in flight. Today I re-enacted this scenario in a controlled environment with a friends drone. You'll note that the authorisation zone cannot be...

    Don't suppose you could link me to a comprehensive guide on how to do this? Thanks J

    Absolutely. This is very sound advice. I really had no intention of creating a zone ever, but the location I was in kind of required it else I wouldn't have been able to fly at the beginning of my holiday, so it was a spur of the moment decision to request permission from ATC and apply for the...

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    1) to be honest I am not sure. I wasn't focused on this islet. Edit: going through some cached footage, this image shows it: 2/3) I was attempting to return at 65% battery. I only realised what was actually going on at about 20% battery. The drone was getting closer very, very slowly at about...

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    Thanks for the informative response. This is exactly the issue I encountered. Fair enough re: not a software bug, just seems a little silly that it couldn't bypass the custom parameter given the other side was a legal fly zone (just a warning zone). DJI have come back to me now, and have...

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    Thank you Thunder. Did you compare my straight line to my purple line shown here? This purple line is a custom geo zone, witch is an area I created to unlock the flight restriction zones. I believe my drone is perfectly straight from 65% battery as a result of not being able to breach...

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    From 65% battery I was trying to return to home, but there was a geo barrier I could not pass, which is why the drone travels in a straight line towards Puffin Island. It took me a while to realise what was happening. There were no strong wind warnings during this leg of the journey.

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    Hi Yorkshire, I fully appreciate that; however the reddit link embedded itself into my post, so the whole story with the links are all displayed on this website regardless. Therefore there is actually no need to visit reddit to view the story or media, as all the details are in this thread...

    DJI software bug surrounding authorised boundaries caused me to lose my drone to the sea

    I'm going to save myself time and link to the reddit thread. I'm hoping some of you can help me out by reading the log and telling me if I have an argument here for a replacement. For ease, the log can be found here: https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/27TN7YSF5GEJ6ND6RD1X I also...
