Please help me understand what Growth of Value means on the DJI App? Am I great or do I suck?

[SINDORF]

So I have never really paid much attention with DJI when it comes to my flight records and their analytics.

Does anyone understand what is Growth of Value measure is? I have no context.

After more than 500 flights on my Mavik....Am I great or do I suck?

Preferably the former and not the latter.

Thank you all in advance....and I really want to buy the mini.

And do I win something?

I don't think anyone really knows what that means , but 46 mph is pretty cool . my fastest is only 43

It helps when the wind is at your back.

I did some research on the issue:

what does Growth of Value mean on the DJI App? Am I great or do I suck?

Here are just a few of my favorite answers collected from a couple of threads on a couple of forums including this one:

Why does it matter
Why it doesn't?
Because there's no material implication. It cant be redeemed for cash, and there are easier ways to improve one's self esteem

It seems like my growth of Value is stuck. I've been syncing after every flight but it's not budging. Any ideas?
Have u tried viagra?
Idiot.

It's probably some kind of data throughput counter Enigma machine that really displays the Chinese Hackers stolen data off your device traffic

It's just a number that summarizes your flight time and distance, though as far as I know the specific algorithm used to derive it has never been explained.

GOV is the hyperbolic tangent of your activity curve which is a function of the rate of change in your flight frequency divide by the average speed per flight times the square of the log of the total distance flown. In other words, if you don’t fly much over time or just hover in one spot the value is low. However, if your rip around the sky during many flights over a short period of calendar time, it proves you didn’t crash and the value is large.
Congrats on reaching Level 25!

I appreciate your wealth of wisdom....I really want to say now I completely understand GOV....but I cannot. And how many levels are there? Is there another obscure algorithm that defines this?

 

[Peter Hughes]

Must admit the same question has crossed my mind a couple of times....be interesting to find out if there is some sort of maximum level.
I do find it handy, though, to have all of the other info to hand.
Does anyone know how to back all the flight records up just in case there’s a loss of data?

My head hurts...

And ultimately what does this figure represent? I am a big fan of context.

I tried Viagra as a Drone Pilot....and it did not help in my GOV nor my Level standing...and I tried really hard and long (excuse that innuendo)
Is there a base level description of what these figures mean in terms of overall context?

 

[SINDORF]

All,

Despite everyone's witty reportage....no one has really answered my base question. What does GOV and Status Level figures represent? I get the obtuse algorithms. Can anyone contextualize this?!

In a drone dog fight does a level 25 automatically defeat a level 18? Really hoping for an answer. WTF does a status level meant to represent?

I don’t have even 1/2 your hours or distance flown or number of flights but I’m at level 25 also and where your level shows 601,000 mine is 535,000 so who knows

Thank you....that is a factual comparison and giving me a basis of comparison. I am leaning forwards to believe that I suck more than I am great...but who knows.....DJI?

I think you also have to add flight altitude into the calculation. I don't think there is a top limit for GOV.

Mine won't ever update. 13 flight hours later and I still have 0 experience points. Lol
