Autolanded at 20%

[Tonysbird]

I have my P4P settings for warning at 15% and land at 10%. Twice it has gone into autoland at 20%. I checked all my settings and cannot figure out why. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Those settings don't affect when the Phantom decides to auto land. The auto land procedure is auto initiated when the battery reaches the critically low level. The auto landing procedure will kick in sooner if you're doing things like flying extremely high when the battery is low or really stressing the battery when it's low.

Try turn off smart return home

This setting is not related to the auto land on critical low battery feature. Check out the description in the photo you snapped above to see what it does.

That "Smart Home Return" setting is not related either.

How that not related if it not predicting the smart return is off it has to stay airborne untill batt is very low thats when auto land kicks in dont it,,not bein checky i just thought that how it was

Smart Return Home is a completely different feature. The Phantom will auto land when the battery reaches the critically low level regardless of whether or not the Smart Return Home feature is being used.

If you fly your Phantom until the battery reaches the critically low level, it'll auto land. Give it a try

The thing is...it was less than 20 meters from home and less than 30 meters high with 20% battery when it just decided to land.

It was right in front of me and I looked at the screen when auto land initiated.

Ah. Well, it's super confusing when you post in the same thread as two different people.
