Mine is set to RTH. Just verified. Looking at the logs it states that RTH activated and a/c went into landing mode because it was near home point.

i guess I need to take it out further. Was about 75 feet away. Havent really used RTH. Normally land it on my own.
There are FOUR posters in this thread indicating the same issue. One seems solved, the others, need flight logs.

Did you try to use the Precision Landing feature? If so, did you use it as described in the following section of the Mavic manual?
How far away is nowhere near?
Thanks for the comments guys , so I tried today the RTH In a different area/location -a farm .
Had no trouble what so ever and landed pretty much where it took of , so I tried a different location again and it was perfect .
Went back to the original area I was having trouble with and it failed again , the only thing I can think of is maybe WiFi or cellar interference from surrounding properties and or maybe it can’t get an exact lock on the position to return .. who knows .
No issues today with Disconnect on side connection.

I lost the mavic air 2s recently drone with this software error. I set the home point as soon as it took off hovering above where I wanted the drone to land. When the warning for battery came on I pressed RTH ant it started landing in the middle of the lake. I updated RTH and it confine to land in a spot over the water. So I disconnected RTH and starting to fly home. I did not make it and lost the drone in the lake since it ran out of battery. I never had this problem with the old Mavic air. It still land where I tell it all the time.
Communication was great and a day with blue sky. I did notice RTH working erratically before where I had to land visually. Something is wrong with the firmware.

It's unlikely that the incident was related to a problem with firmware.
If it was, there would be hundreds of users having the same problem.
To find out what actually happened, post the recorded flight data here and someone might be able to find the real cause of the incident.
Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report on the flight data.
Come back and post a link to the report it gives you.
Or just post that .txt file here.
Hmmmm. There is founders of users reporting this problem. RTH is not working, an essential part of flying when something goes wrong. I will post flight data later. During this flight I updated RTH two times. Both times tríen you land in the lake. I hope I can get flight data since I do not have the drone anymore.
RTH has proved to be very reliable and most reports turn out to be something else.
There will be a simple explanation for your incident and I think I already know what it was.
When you post the data, I'll be able to confirm. it.

You've just provided me with another powerful incentive to remain loyal to Litchi until the cows come home. Litchi never tries to impose an update on me and has never done anything out of the ordinary since I began using it for autonomous flights over 2,200 miles ago. In Litchi I trust, and from Litchi I shalt never stray.
You don’t have to install updates! Just ignore the nag message.
