Here’s one more thought for your consideration. The collision avoidance system on my drone looks does not look sideways so the first time I fly a new mission I do so with the front of the drone pointed in the direction of travel. Particularly in mountainous areas, I am not sure that everything...

You might want to use Virtual Litchi and Google Earth Pro on your PC to test your litchi mission before risking your drone. Both are available to download for free.

I believe I might have had a similar problem with my new Mavic Air. In retrospect, I think my initial attempt to update the firmware via the go4 app was only partially successful. The app did show the latest firmware had been installed, but I continued to receive the flysafe database...
