Any way to practice using ATTI mode

[naiku]

Simple enough question, is there a way to practice flying in ATTI mode? Ideally, anywhere I'm flying I'll have GPS, but I want to be able to control the drone in ATTI mode should something happen. I have a large back yard, so plenty of room to practice, just need to know if I can.

Thanks.

Yes. See more details here:

Mavic 2 Atti mode

I haven't seen anyone else mention it so, just in case anyone is interested, I can confirm that it is possible to switch the M2P into ATTI mode by changing the mapping on the flight mode switch using the same DJI Assistant functionality as with the MP. I altered the Sport mode setting (8) to...

Hmm have to see if that works on the Mavic Air. Someone asked in that thread, but the only reply was for them to experiment. I'd rather not experiment with $650 so will research a little too see if it's possible on the Air.

It’s easier then you think. Cover gps part with aluminum foil and a piece tap to hold on. Found this by accident. Lol well the cover part was accident

It has been done on the Mavic Air too. See this thread:

Sports mode to Atti mode?

I just fly in my double garage... obviously not a lot of room, but more than enough to practice stable hover.

[edit] I also have access to a large (30x60m) industrial warehouse space with high ceilings, which is very useful. it's directly across the road from the local light aircraft airport, if I could get GPS signal inside then I expect I would not be able to take off due to geofencing!

Interestingly if it has no GPS it will allow you to fly in a NFZ. If it has even a little GPS not even enough to fly in GPS mode it won’t. Weird right

not really surprising... the aircraft establishes its location using GPS, which it can do with coarse accuracy well short of attaining a full GPS "OK to fly" lock.

Where is the GPS antenna it antennas located in a Mavic 2?
I'm guessing that I have to turn off visual sensors so it would really be a full atti mode?

If it were me I’d but a cheap Hubsan 107 and practise with that, no great loss when it’s crashed unlike a mavic

Something to consider is that RTH doesn't work if the GPS is covered. Just be smart about it

I just assigned ATTI for Sport mode in my Mavic Pro, and it's not difficult if you get DJI Assistant 2 v1.1.2!

The problem of physically disabling GPS is that you cannot turn your Mavic into Positioning mode when you need it. But in this method in the video below you still have an option for using GPS mode (or Sport mode as you prefer) as its second. It's worth trying.

Ah yeah fair enough you can just dump your mavic i guess

Ah. That's because these unofficial tweaks are "hidden away" in the Software mods section, you need to tick a "disclaimer" checkbox in your profile settings to get access to it.
