Mini 4 Pro Would Not Come Down

[JGA]

Ground forecast from Airdata at the time of the flight... which was conducted mid day approx 2PM.

View attachment 173113 Good weather for getting ice on the propellers. I almost lost mine flying in overhead fog and 34 degrees. Got an overload warning, barely got it back and the propellers were covered in ice. Luckily I wasn't too far out. He may have add ice on the VPS sensors.

However I would also blame the drone sellers for not requiring a basic knowledge of regulations before flying a drone for the first time.

Well, that is not a drone seller job. When you are buying a car, the dealer is not asking about your driving license.

One thing this thread has reinforced to me.

Every time I start a flight, I’m going to take off and as well as test sideways, yaw and backwards and forwards motion, I’m always going to make sure that the VPS sensor isn’t blocked and I can descend.
