Aircraft locked

Hayabusa · Dec 30, 2017

fly bird earlier today. Came home and went back out to have tablet says “can’t take off.”
I tap on top bar and then says “aircraft locked.”
It did ask earlier about New firmware, but has in past as well.
How do i fix?
I’m heading out at 5am to go shoot.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Did your position switch to a no fly zone?

I just read a thread that said, "It's caused by having your phone tablet connected to the internet when the app is launched, the app checks FW versions to see if an update is needed, if it's a FW. that they have decided needs updating they will lock the quad to force you to upgrade."

James is Truthful in his wisdom...
Some how your WiFi on you Tablet was turned on and the firmware was Updated
Fix
Now you have to Plug your mavic pro into your computer and update its firmware to the same version as your tablet & controller

I have flown same exact area (park) with my P3s a bunch.
1st time with Mavic as I wanted to test the flight modes with my daughter.
Instead we had to fly her trusty $24 nano. Lol
And to think about it, i haven’t launched from this spot with Mavic but have flown to it, over it a bunch.
I’m going to try now at house and see.
Should I do new firmware update?

I would update everything to the latest versions, That has NEVER caused me a problem and usually upgrades features in some way. That being said, prepare for the never update guys to tell you the opposite.
