I have never done it and have about 50 hours of flight time.....

Sure I have had a few disconnects at long distances etc and a few app crashes... but still... Just wonder if I'm in the minority here.

Also with a mini and a air 2 flying on a Android s8, s20 ultra and a work iPhone 8 I have only been exposed to the fly app...

I dont and i did not know that i need to go airplane mode when flying. Bit si far ni crash app here. I’m using iphone xr

I use a dedicated mobile with it's own SIM, number not known to anyone but me. No calls or interruptions and no problems with the Mini other than the usual interference. I have tried airplane mode but get the same interference as I do with everything enabled.

I was getting enough disconnects that it was making me nervous. Since I used Airplane mode, I've had zero problems.

Never did. Don't even know what airplane mode does !!

I always do now. I had an epic crash, because of a disconnect caused by interference. I was under a gum and drone RTH, up and under. I was flying low at my house in the country, with a metal framed home and a satellite foxtel dish nearby. very cautious now.

I don't but it sounds like a great idea.

No.

Neither do I. I use Sumsung Note 9 with Internet, location on for my Mavic Pro. No trouble at all.

I haven’t and then got a phone call while flying and it did a RTH which I canceled ?

I don't because I am afraid I will miss the call from the dear lady in India who has ten million dollars to donate to a worthy, God fearing person since she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and God told her I was the one ! Ever since I got her email I have been waiting.

Get in line buddy - she called me first ??

I thought it was there for drone fliers only.

BigJack73 · Jun 27, 2020

Didn’t know this was needed. I’ve only had my mavic pro 1 for a couple of weeks but never put my iPhone XR in airplane mode to fly.

Sxottie · Jun 27, 2020

I don't put in airplane mode but do turn on DND.

itsneedtokno · Jun 27, 2020

Did it for a short time, until I built up a little confidence.

If I need to take a phone call, I take it.

I bought a DJI drone for the peace of mind.
