Because Forced Landing at 25% of battery?

With landing protection off, can you down throttle it straight into the ground, or will vps still prevent a ground crash/rough landing?
 
With landing protection disabled, you'll be able to manually fly the Mavic until it meets the ground. I'm not sure how hot of a landing it'll allow. I always ease mine down until it touches the ground.

Wise move, maybe we can all pitch in for someone to test at the end of their refresh plan ;)

Just get a buddy to hold a sheet of cardboard out horizontally. Practice coming in hot and stopping just on top of it, then come in just a bit hotter. If it doesn't stop, it'll let you crash. If it does, it's still paying attention.

Effective, but much less glorious than a major crash and burn.
