Mavic Air fly-away - what gives?

No matter how many checklists you make for the new fliers they will almost always get impatient and throw the bird in the air.

The Beginner mode is there for a reason, it's usually the setting that beginners use AFTER they crash the drone the first time...

I agree that a really good check list won't be any good for those who aren't inclined to read one before getting it in the air, but for that said, there are more patient ones than impatient ones desperate to find one, who like me are struggling to find one. A nothing will stop it, nobody will read it anyway approach is not going to do the community any good. The least the community can do is look to have tried to address the issue because if it doesn't then politicians and bureaucrats one day, will.

I'm pretty sure that DJI will point out a low number of satellite as a reason for loss of aircraft, regardless of GPS health!

I attach mine with an extra GPS tracker, just in case
