Seems too many posting are titled “fly aways” when the poster suspects it isn’t so and goes on to list of items that could have been prevented. Just what is a flyaway?
In my humble opinion, it is not:
A bird that is intentionally ”shot out” to “see how far it will go?”
A bird that is intentionally shot UP to “see how high it will go?”
A bird that clearly communicates a failure, via the APP, but the pilot ignores it and continues to fly
A bird whose pilot never bothered with CAL or IMU
A bird whose pilot is only flying by looking at the screen(?)
A bird that is intentionally flown near known sources of RF or magnetic disturbance (high power lines)
A bird clearly showing a low batt indication but the pilot disregards it
A bird flown outside the recommended temperature envelope
A bird flown outside the recommended wind envelope
A bird flown behind obstacles (BLOS)
A bird flown with a low battery in the controller
A bird flown with user-installed devices (strobe lights, trackers) without a short, low altitude test flight first.
Please feel free to add to this list.
