I am a part of a group here in Australia who headed away on a 4 day fishing trip. I decided I would try fly out to get some footage as they headed to our weekend destination.
This was my first distance flight over water which ended being just over 1 kilometre. My furthest before was only 400metres. I was flying without wifi or cellular service with aircraft mode activated.
On the way back, I must have headed for a different cove which may have had a lead to a blocked direct line of sight communication leading to disconnection of remote and an error message. It gave me the option to hit home which I did.
As the drone got closer, my controller reconnected and I was able to pause home return and guide the aircraft back to me. am I right that my issue was a loss of direct line of sight comms?
i will admit that I had horrible thoughts of losing my drone considering the excessive cost these things are lol.
for interest sake, my video is as per link
