First I apologize if this has been covered in the manual or on this forum extensively. I know I've seen the topic come up but I can't find anything meaningful when I search here or the manual.
If I take off from the top of a hill or mountain and fly over the edge of it, what altitude will my aircraft report? Let's say I ascend to 100ft ATO (above take off). As long as I'm flying in that immediate area, I'm also 100 ft AGL (above ground level).
If I fly over a cliff with a 200 foot drop, I'll still be 100 ft ATO but 300 ft AGL.
-What will the Mavic indicate as my altitude at that point?
-What happens if I DESCEND below the take off point, to 150 ft AGL (50 ft below take off point).
-What happens if I hit RTH? (Say RTH is set for 120 feet ATO point) and I'm still over the cliff flying at 300 ft AGL? Or below the take off point altitude?
