Another ATTI Mode ? for a new user

[robinsondd]

Hi all,

Bought my Mavic Pro about two months ago after flying an inexpensive non gps drone until it broke. I just learned today (on this forum) that I cannot select ATTI mode manually if I want to fly it indoors or outdoors. I live in a NFZ for a military airport that usually closes on the weekend. I have talked to their "Drone" guy and they usually allow a drone Pilot to fly on the weekend if you call them first. However, when I try to fly this drone indoors it might go to the ATTI mode but usually goes to GPS even indoors. I really would like to get great outdoor videos of my house so I'm very disappointed that I cannot disable the ATTI. I have a Private Pilots License so I do understand the safety of flying near airports. Oh well, maybe get a better cheaper non-GPS drone that has good video capabilities to fly around the house... Any suggestions? Thanks...

Why, there's no problem with flying indoor and outdoor with gps and in fact it's more stable that way as compared to atti mode.

Tape an aluminum foil sheet to the top of the Mavic Pro. Dont cover any of the forward or rear vents. Boom! Your in permanent ATTI Mode.

So what is the actual problem? Are you prevented from taking off because of the NFZ?

There are ways around this. Do so searching on NLD

Yes. Even when I'm indoors.

Because I live within a No Fly Zone, it will not activate it's propeller blades to take off even inside my house.

That has nothing to do with ATTI.

Yes. Even when I'm indoors.

What color is the NFZ?

Place a couple of layers of foil over the top of the rear of the AC. This will block the GPS, and you will be in ATTI mode.
Be careful for your AC...
