My Mavic Air initiated auto-landing in light fog several times during a flight. This was harrowing as the drone was pretty far away. I’ve never had this occur with my Mavic Pro, so I reckon it was in fact the Air’s sensors.

Wild parakeets ('maritacas') have aggressively swarmed my drone several times in Brazil; they attack in screeching, fast-flying squadrons of a dozen or two. They get really close, and I've always landed immediately without further incident, so I don't know if they'd actually strike the drone...

I've been wondering about this too. It'd startup, and recover -if it's high enough. As a reader above mentioned, people have done mid-air power-offs followed by free-fall restarts, which is basically the same thing.

If they intended to distract me from looking closely at the drone, it worked.

Check that your phone is actually connected to the controller, it can be plugged in yet not have a closed circuit -push the connectors in. Also, check that the Mavic's switch is solidly to the right, to "RC". I've had both problems, several times.

Is the green option selected, or the white one?
