Have been flying my Mavic Air for two years and had my first crash because of my own stupid mistake--I was flying over some warehouses, was paying too much attention to the video feed and hadn't realized the drone was coming up against a tall pillar that was sticking out. The pillar is made out of metal struts, and the drone flew through the struts and got stuck inside.
I can see from the video feed approximately where it was, but because the pillar is quite tall, I couldn't see the drone from the ground. (I estimate it's probably ~80ft up.) Also because it was the weekend, nobody was on site, so there was nothing else I could really do except leave it there.
Because it's been raining since I left, I'm calling the drone a total loss and made peace with it. However, what should I do next? Should I go back to the site this week and tell them that a drone is stuck there? My main worry is that the drone might be stuck in some precarious position, and that someday, (maybe with a strong wind) it might get loose and fall onto the ground and hit something. But because the drone is so high up there, I didn't see a good way for anyone to get up there, except with a very tall bucket lift or something.
Any advice on how to handle this situation?
