Reading posts in this forum, it makes one feel that experiencing a TBE failure is just a matter of time. It's beginning to sound like there are 2 types of Mavic pilots; those that have experienced TBE and those who will.
I've flown through 2 cycles with my 3 batteries and so far so very good. I would like to be prepared to deal with the situation if it happens rather than try to figure out what to do in the heat of the moment.
So, my questions are: Are there any "bold face" procedures one should follow to regain control of their aircraft and get her home or is it just a matter of fighting the controls and hoping for the best? Also, I don't think I've ever seen anything about using the "Flight Pause" button. Will it work to give a guy time to re-group and breathe or is it non-operational in a TBE condition?? In the event of a successful recovery, what actions are recommended before attempting another flight?
Also, most are citing faulty compass calibration as being the culprit for this failure. The failures aren't happening during 1st flight after cal so what is causing the compass calibrations to go bad after multiple successful flights?
Thanks for any input you may have.
