Hi all. Flying around the globe with my Mavic Air. Had minimal issues in Russia, Mongolia, China, South Korea, Japan and New Zealand other than needing to regularly recalibrate compass (accepted given I moved around a lot).

Now, however, I’m hiking around Chile and Argentina with a rather large paperweight.

The recalibrate compass message has decided to become permenant pretty much as soon as I go to fly despite the levels of interference showing as minimal (compass level is green in the sensors screen).

Needless to say I know how to recalibrate but something seems to simply have changed which is resulting in my Mavic Air being useless.

I can sometimes still get it in the air if, as soon as I ‘Go Fly’, I hit launch before the MA has had time to register the stupid compass error and if I do that it seems ok. Problem is as soon as I land and go to switch batteries it comes back and stays unless I power down for a few days / close app etc.

At my wits end. Any thoughts be appreciated.

Thanks
Garry
