Drones that lose signal come home (if the home point was recorded properly and the failsafe action is set to RTH).

Post a link to the Airdata report, but make sure you've ticked thr share box.
The recorded flight data ends after 5:35 with plenty of battery and the drone well above terrain.
It just disconnected on private propertyThe recorded flight data ends after 5:35 with plenty of battery and the drone well above terrain.
It was 756 ft out from the launch point and flying south at 35 mph.
Failsafe action was set to RTH.
When the data ends the drone is in stable flight, with full signal and no indication of any collision.
With no evidence of anything abnormal, a loss of power is the most likely cause of the incident.
The last location data was at 36.82769 -121.20375.
Given the drone's speed and direction at the time, a search should be from that point heading south to an estimated impact point approximately 350 feet further south.
It didn't disconnect .. it lost power and fell to the ground.It just disconnected on private property
A bird strike would show in the data, but things ended with the drone in level flight.
but were nice enough to have one of their employees look for it, but no luck so DJI fly away replacement is on the way at a reduced price. It will stay a mystery why it lost power!
Drone is history and bought a reduced price DJI fly away price. DJI didn't take any blame for complete power loss.
The app that gives you the GPS location of your drone, where you are and all you have to do is walk towards it's location to find it. If you still have battery, when you get near it, it starts beeping. You should look it up if you are unaware. I've had to use it a few times.
That's only going to show the last recorded location of the drone. It sounds like the OP is saying he already scouted out that location in post #14 above.
But they were kind enough to look for me, but not all day. It was down on a rocky hillside with gray colored rocks.
