It's not my drone so no log is available.What exactly happened? Please give a context and, if available, the flight log(s). With only the headly, it is impossible to confirm or deny anything.
From the manual (so looks like it’s not the same as the MA)
Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.
DJI Fly displays a warning when the battery level is low. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a 10 second countdown.
The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button or Flight Pause button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the direction of the aircraft during the landing process.
Don't allow your drone to run into those situations.This is a bad because my M2P has run into situations that required the descent to be stopped or it would have end up in the water.
If it would be possible to ascend during a forced landing in the case it is because of the battery is to low there are a chance that the drone will just stop and fall down uncontrolled.
Even if it would be good to be able to save the drone from landing in water, that possibility can also be misjudged (or sometimes misused) to cram out just a few 100 metres in an attempt to get it home and then the drone would uncontrolled fall down and perhaps create a serious accident.
Excellent advice. It is puzzling that with almost 30 minutes of flight time per battery that people keep running these expensive drones into these dangerous situations! Use common sense and don't get into these situations. ?Don't allow your drone to run into those situations.
If you were flying a real plane, you wouldn't try to fly until there was only 5% left in the tank.
Aim to land with a comfortable safety margin.
Yes but as there has been reports that this cannot be done on MA2 and I don't have the drone. I would like to know if the report is true.
So, as I said, the manual says it is NOT possible to ascend when in Low Battery RTH and have entere the Auto Landing phase, but you can control its direction. You can cancel RTH BEFORE it commences Auto Landing, but of course you run the risk of battery depletion and crashing.Yes but as there has been reports that this cannot be done on MA2 and I don't have the drone. I would like to know if the report is true.
It's not my drone so no log is available.
The battery level dropped to 10% during RTH and forced landing started. Only the elevator and aileron controls were effective but not the throttle. This is a bad because my M2P has run into situations that required the descent to be stopped or it would have end up in the water.
It looks like these reports are not correct; see below postYes but as there has been reports that this cannot be done on MA2 and I don't have the drone. I would like to know if the report is true.
If this is the case, and I’m not disputing it, then the manual is wrong because that is what I was quoting from.It looks like these reports are not correct; see below post
My Mavic air II crashed
My flight started with an odd battery firmware request. I had already used that battery a few times. I upgradedThe firmware but when I started flying I noticed my gimbal was not moving smoothly but stuttering. I brought it home and did a gimbal calibration. I flew it again and keeped it nearby...mavicpilots.com
I guess we will have to wait for this to be confirmed by others. But flight logs don't lie, so it looks like DJI left out a minor bit of info from the manual. We will know for sure soon, if it is one way or the other.If this is the case, and I’m not disputing it, then the manual is wrong because that is what I was quoting from.
You definitely can increase altitude in Critical landing; it just continues to land the moment you let go of the stick. The manual states you can change direction; that can include up and down if you take the language at face value.If this is the case, and I’m not disputing it, then the manual is wrong because that is what I was quoting from.
So it is the same as the previous Mavics. Thanks for confirming Wellsi!You definitely can increase altitude in Critical landing; it just continues to land the moment you let go of the stick.
This video tell opposite strory:Can anyone confirm this pls ? This behavior is different from that of M2.
You can continue to ascend and maneuver until one of the four cells drops below 3.0V, which is well below 0% battery, just like on the Mavic 2.Can anyone confirm this pls ? This behavior is different from that of M2.
If you fly for a low-budget airline, you might be forced to fly under those conditions...Don't allow your drone to run into those situations.
If you were flying a real plane, you wouldn't try to fly until there was only 5% left in the tank.
