They need to make a change to this CSC mid flight. If they have to keep the feature it should be activated in a way that is far less likely to be triggered while flying

I agree. They should make it a maneuver like you're trying to screw it into the ground at full speed. Oh wait, that's what it is now.
There is no doubt that CSC will stop the motors in mid-air.
DJI is pretty clear about that in the manual and there are a small number of incidents where pilots have done it for one reason or another and confirmed what the manual states.
I would guess if someone was doing a hand catch of the Phantom this is how you would turn off the motors.
I meant if someone was catching for you.Need 3 hands to do that!
Thanks for that but I am now having trouble getting to the bottom of this through the flight logs. Do you know how to get more info out of them. i can get into the Flight Record but I cant see there what has happened or am I looking in the wrong place.I wonder if the software in the P3 for normal shutdown could mistake an altitude error in a way that it thinks the pilot is asking for a motor shutdown. The software is making the following logic choice. Pilot is commanding max descent rate unless the software decides the Phantom is no longer descending, or the altitude is not dropping. IF the left stick is full down AND the altitude is not dropping based on GPS or VPS, THEN kill the motors. So a faulty VPS reading might fool the software to assume the pilot is asking to trigger a motor shutdown if the left throttle is held full down! Motors will shut off at any altitude, so if you land on the roof of a tall building you can shut down the props. Same with a ground takeoff but hand catch landing....motors will shut down because altitude stops dropping.
We may want to avoid full down throttle for long periods. I think there are a lot of Phantom owners worried the VPS software or sensor has some issues that create other weird problems with altitude stability or reliability.
How do you find that in the Flight Log, I am told that can only be done by DJIDawson Bliss, check your flight log. It should show if you performed a CSC.
Or, something like this?I had an idea, what if you made some round inserts to fit in the holes where the joysticks are and make an oval cutout in them that would prevent one of the sticks from going all the way down.
A csc is immediately , not 3 seconds ! But it does take 3 seconds to shut off the motors when pressing the left stick down and the phantom is no longer losing altitude either because it's on the ground or hand caught .Doubt that you accidently did a CSC have to hold them for 3 seconds. Long time whe in flight. BTWeautiful picture.. Like a post card.
