I was using my mavic mini 2 recently and noticed it would not fly backwards. When i rotated it, however, i found it would fly backwards fine, but now not forwards. It was like it simply couldn't fly in 1 compass direction. The only thing I could think of was that there was an airport about 3 miles away. Could that have caused this? This was also low to the ground- about 15 feet.

I tested it in the same location with the Mavic Air 2 and could not reproduce the problem.
 
It could be a software restriction on airspace.

It could also be that the wind was stiff enough to impede the drone's progress in a particular direction. I'd expect that kind of breeze to be something you'd notice, but it's not uncommon for us to hear about pilots surprised when their drone blows away, and the wind aloft is often stronger than the wind on the ground at the pilot's location.
