I appreciate the advice and opinion. Honestly, thank you to all who took the time to look at the logs. I am not ignoring or denying wind was a significant role here, But to me its about when it became a factor. I maintained line of sight and I saw it drift after disconnect. Not controller...

Appreciate the honest feedback and in retrospect, knowing what I know would never have flown. Clearly not being a pro, certainly impacted final end. That being said I can't get over the behavior I saw with disconnects and what the data says. I lost uplink (>3 sec) @ 1:14 and multiple times up...

That's from the weather station less than a 1000' from its last position. I realize it is not the same at 600'. But my experience that night doesn't suggest sustained high winds. That's why I am asking the earlier posters/ experts here if the data clearly shows my phantom was running full out...

And yes I ALWAYS make sure the home point is good because I was paranoid of it hitting something on its way down and scenarios like this!

Looking at the weather records the sustained wind was 11mph, which RTH would have overcome but the gusts occurred twice, unfortunately at the critical times I disconnected. I would think with the battery level I would have seen progress back towards me and the controller if RTH kicked in but...

I really appreciate the detailed analysis and your guys help! Sorry but I don't think I fully understand, does this mean the drone was receiving my commands the whole time? You can see when I first started sensing trouble 1:12 I was trying to turn the drone around and at 1:14 it stopped...

Thanks, I am see that as well. I know I was trying to bring it back, but it kept disconnecting. If the uplink was also lost would it also show as no movement in the sticks correct?

Wow.... had no idea the gusts were that high! But that's definitely not sustained wind speed so my whole issue / question is shouldn't the RTH have kicked in and there be some data showing that? It disconnected 3 times for over 3 seconds... all three times it doesn't look like it's trying to...

Thanks, all good points that I'm learning the hard way. I guess I didn't realize wind speed was that much higher since it was a calm clear night on the ground. I got the TXT file off of iTunes and below is the link. I don't see any new information really and I'm just curious if I can get any...

Wind speed was calm at ground level. I'd say about 5 mph maybe. But looking back at the data now I'm seeing two gusts recorded at 01:37 and 02:07 over 30 mph from the SSW as you guessed... When I first started getting interference signals I pushed it over the large marina parking lot thinking...

Yeah, that's what I have been reading. I'm just so hesitant to leave this area to get back to my computer at home, without my drone.

Thanks so much for responding!! I tried finding the TXT file, but I am away without a computer to get the file through iTunes which seems to be the way. So after some searching I uploaded through HD Sync to AirData, my csv, but the txt comes through as a PDF, attached. So the site you...

I'm new here so I hope I'm not violating any rules. I'm also hoping someone can point me in the right direction.... since I've spent all day in a raft and walking around a marsh. Story: brand new phantom 3 (7/2017) have been extremely cautious with it. Have range extender and I live in the city...
