What really happens when an airborne MP flies into a NFZ or other 'hard' geo-fence boundary?

[Alex S.]

I have read the threads, watched the youtube vids but still can't get a clear read on what my Mavic would do if I accidentally (or on purpose) flew into a geo-fence. Some say you can fly it back but cannot gain altitude, others say it auto-lands but you can still control direction while landing, still other say it takes over, auto-lands period. Assuming I have the latest firmware and GO app, what would really happen? TIA.

I asked to DJI support.

Ask two more DJI reps and see if you get the same answer

This is exactly what happened to me. A map error suddenly created a red zone and my controller started beeping loudly with a "10 seconds to auto landing" message.

I had horizontal control, no vertical control. Sensors turned off. Drone landed in a neighbors tree.

So, this is the actual response of the AC (auto landing) not RTH as per DJI.
GOOD TO KNOW!!!
