APAS missing?

H R · Oct 9, 2020

Newbie drone pilot, first post to this forum also. I have a new Air 2 with everything updated. When I go to 'safety' in the settings menu, there is no mention of APAS, just OA. Has something changed in a recent update, or am I being an idiot and missing something simple? I know what APAS stands for, have they simplified it in a recent update?

APAS is obstacle avoidance. (Advanced Pilot Assist Systems)

It's the same thing now.

APAS has been rebranded as "Safety Assistance" since the 0340 firmware update.

As commented above, it’s the same as OA. Just a shame that DJI has not updated the User Manual yet to say so!

Ok, that's what I figured. Thanks for the response(s). After fighting a Holy Stone 720's follow me mode (still not working), I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something simple. I love this Air 2 and wish the winds here in NE Wisconsin would settle down before it starts snowing.
