Is "magnetic interference" the worst thing for the mavic?

[Kakdog]

might be able to add me to the list - my mavic air decided to fly itself (i was flying it in the opposite direction) into a crowded restaurant last weekend, completely out of my control, thankfully missed everyone and smashed into a wall at full speed making a mess of itself.. advice i have gotten so far in here is likely magnetic interference

Curious.

I work in a basalt volcano field and have only encountered magnetic interference while trying to calibrate the compass. My practice is to climb a cone and fly from near the top. These cones stick out and get hit by lightning regularly. Usually the top is too magnetic for me to calibrate the compass.

That said, I have never encountered magnetic interference while flying across the tops of cones but I'm usually not close to the ground.
