MA2 ( BACK LIGHTS )

[Captinkirk]

Hi all I was wondering if someone could put my mind at rest - when accelerating drone ( MA2 ) the back lights blink red once or twice then go back to green - when I brake it does the same - I’ve only noticed this recent and at night - is this normal ? No error codes flys perfect but never noticed it before - was also in an area with tall cranes and building in progress - as said never noticed it before and since I haven’t taken it out in ages can’t remember

I did contact a certified dji specialist they said possibly due to low light but if no error no problem ( I hope ) did have bit of agg calibrating compass before flight but it said success full
Thanks in advance

The red lights flashing twice indicate that your in height restricted airspace. Better known as being in the Bow Tie of a runway of a local airport. Generally the app will tell you this. You may notice that you cannot fly above a certain altitude when the tail lights are flashing red twice.

Oh ok - I did read that somewhere possibilities - it’s near a railway track and train station and as said there is construction there with tall cranes with red lights on the cranes I guess for manned aircraft too see - so I’m wondering if height restrictions is set in that area while the construction is rising upwards just a thought ?!
Thanks in advance ( there is no airport there ) just remembered tho there is a disused prison there that shut down some years ago

You could check NOTAMs for temp obstructions. (See uTube.) Did you check B4UFly to see what airspace you were in? Best wishes.
