Aircraft Orientation / strike out

[Mavic-Max]

Hi. Just back from flying around a local field. One hour of perfect flights in tripod mode then switched to sport for about a minute then back to tripod mode. At this point the Aircraft Orientation symbol bottom center of the screen turned red and had a strike through it. At the same time the Air seemed to go into limp mode and maximum forward speed dropped by day 50%. Also I had been using APAS which worked brilliantly until this point. It now hovers in position when it sees the same obstacle that previously it flew around or over. Any idea what’s going on.

The orientation icon doesn’t work. Dji assures me they are working on it.

Thanks for that. I’m also concerned that it seemed to be in limp mode. Slow speed and APAS not working. I powered off and on and still the same issue.

Did you try it in normal mode?

 

[Mavic-Max]

Tripod and normal speed seemed to be reduced by 50%. I don’t know if it’s cleared now as it started raining just as it occurred

If you can post the .DAT and .TXT flight log files in the phone when the craft was normal and in limb mode, may be more light can be shed onto the issue. Follow the guidelines given in this post to get the files : Mavic Flight Log Retrieval and Analysis Guide

Hi. I’ve never done this before so here goes.

Try Turing APAS off then back on?

 

[Mavic-Max]

Thanks. I will do tomorrow

The spec of the MA2 says that the max pitch angle is 20 deg in normal mode and 35 deg in sport mode :



The log indicates that the craft did tilt to these angles in each mode :


Speed wise, the max speed in normal mode is 12 m/s




In the log, the max speed seen under full forward elevator is 9.8 ~ 10.7 m/s , not quite as high as 12 m/s but considering the possible presence of wind, I would say the performance is about normal in this regard. May be this is not the flight in which the problem was encountered ?

Hi Bob. Thanks for looking. I thought I had uploaded 2 flights. This is the last flight before it rained and when the drone was not behaving properly.

Hi. I turned APAS off and back on and hey presto. It works again. Thanks
