Is it possible to take off and descend from 14,500' down to 11,500' and be able to return to home with the Mavic Pro 2?
Are you standing ontop of Mt. Washington, the tallest mountain in the continental US, at 14,495ft? Lol
I hiked that mountain in 1994 while hiking the PCT. Best 6 Mos of my life. You can see a couple picks of that hike on my awesome instagram account, @dropstokes .
(see what I did there?)

Ha! The 20+ years fogged me out. You are correct, sir. Mt. Whitney. I still have 14495 number, though... I don't know why.Mt Whitney is the highest in the lower 48, at 14,505 ft. Denali is the highest in North America, at 20,310 ft. If you did it from the PCT then you are probably thinking of Mt Whitney.

I got it the first time. But as I said, I’ve not done that and hopefully someone with that knowledge or the tech gurus will jump in and get this answered!Thanks for your replies. This will be in Peru. Re-Phrasing the question, this is not a power issue question. The issue at hand is there a DJI software restriction on negative flight altitude on RTH back to the higher start elevation. Example, starting point 14,500' and descending to 11,500' with a return to home at 14,500'.

You're right! 14494! Ha.. I just learned something.Back then it's height was probably listed as 14,497 ft or 14,494 ft. The published values have varied with both survey methods and vertical datum used.
Climb the highest mountain, but how high is Mt. Whitney?
nope... DJI firmware limits you max altitude of 500m (1,640') above and, I believe, your minimum altitude to 200m below your takeoff elevation.Is it possible to take off and descend from 14,500' down to 11,500' and be able to return to home with the Mavic Pro 2?

I got that information from Litchi when planning a waypoint mission down into a canyon. Give it a try for yourself!500 m above is correct. There is no minimum altitude though - where did you get that idea from?

I'm sure you know best!There is no such restriction in Litchi mission planning either.
Don't know about firmware limits, but jctarvin is correct -- Litchi has a minimum descent altitude of 200m (656 feet).
