Just found this. Close call!
Landing at 15% remaining is a close call?
Good practice.Yeah I guess it could be worse. But being a mile away with just 3 minutes battery remaining, that's considered a close call for me - I always make sure the drone's ready to land with 5 minutes remaining but maybe I'm too cautious
Based upon my most recent "safe ditching" of my aircraft on a driving range, when I thought it safer than trying to make it all the way home, the time remaining displayed is to 10% battery, and not 0%. After reviewing the flight, I could easily have made it all the way back, had I known that, as I landed at 6% over a minute later, and diverting to the driving range was just as far off course as the remaining distance to home. The trick is safely fighting the Autoland at 10%, while you keep flying forward until you make it home, where you can let it do its thing! Not recommended for the faint of heart! However, if you ever find yourself in that situation, it helps to know that!Yeah I guess it could be worse.
