For a Transport Canada SFOC I’m preparing a site survey using Mavic 2 Pro. As indicated in the TC guidance a map is required that shows line distances to nearest airports/helipads/aerodromes etc.
I’d also like to include distance rings around the site that show distance endurance for 75/50/25% battery in the case of a lateral fly away. Also a chart that shows altitude for the same battery settings for a vertical fly away.
Are there any known stats other than DJI’s specs? I know that the “official” vertical speed is 4m/s so I guess I could do some kind of calculation based on that x battery % and start with a conservative full battery time of, say, 26 minutes. I would, however, hope that someone somewhere might have done these kinds of calculations already...
I realize that wind is a relevant factor but I think it’s useful to have, at a glance, some idea of where the drone could end up in fly away situations depending on how much power was left at the point of loss of control.
Has anyone come across anything like this yet? (Or know any shortcuts!)
[I’m going to use the DJI specs as being worst case scenarios (in terms of impact of any fly away).]
