Max altitude reduced

[Charles Ames]

Greetings! All was fine with my P3S with height and distance until two days ago when my max altitude and distance were reduced to ca. 98 feet. I recalibrated my compass and IMU [Just in case], signed out and IN of my DJI account, reinstalled the most recent GO APP, which I had anyway. I still get the warning that my max altitude and distance has been reached at about 98 feet. On my flight log it says " No GPS" yet it shows I have 11 or 12 satellites on the GO APP. I do swap out batteries as needed to keep flying. I double checked I was not in the beginner mode. Any suggestions? This is really annoying. Previously I was flying at max altitude of about 396 feet and 2000 to 3000 feet horizontally. I live way out in the country with no interference.

Hi, Charles!.....I have the very same problem!....Yesterday my first flight went fine, I flew up to about 400 ft and a little over 2000 feet out, distance. Landed after 14 minutes as the battery was low, Then I packed it all up in the car and then went over to my other favorite launch site ,using one xtra fully charged battery I got it all set up calibrated have the ladys voice...LIFT-OFF!.....Up it goes...to 93 feet and then I hear Maximum Altitude reached, then I fly it out just a ways and now...Maximum Distance Reached!.......I checked the DJI-App on Beginners Mode and it was Not. I also had the NO-GPS Message!........Hope you get solutions soon and I hope so the same for me!.....93 or 98 feet aint no fun!...........I echo the call for HELP!!

Had the same problem with my Pro 3. What worked for me was deleting the GO App and reinstalling on my iPhone 6.
My App version is 3.1.14 - Aircraft is 1.11.20 - Remote is 1.9.2.

Also one other thing is the max flight altitude was set to zero when I reinstalled the App

I have 2 Apple 3 Ipads and each with the DJI app, I may try that today with one

I just now noticed that the DJI GO-app for Phantom 3,Inspire..on Apple app store only has 2 stars!..* *

Does anybody know what Go App 3.1.14 has new? I'm still on 3.1.13, firmware 1.11.20, Remote 1.9.2 on P3A. Flys perfect.

 

[Philltayl]

Why did you not read the instructions.....???????

 

[ROD PAINTER]

What instructions? If you are referring to how to update, I know how.

 

[Philltayl]

What instructions?

with the latest version of the DJI GO app, you were instructed to login to your DJI account to remove the restriction.

 

[ROD PAINTER]

I currently have no restrictions so I will leave it at that!!!!

I just UNinstalled the DJI apps then I've REinstalled them and did a connect and I had to login on the one Ipad but not the other, did a calibration, checked to be sure I'm not in Beginner's Mode, Altitude Maximums were just what I had before which is 120 M.-------------I'm Charging up my ipads and in awhile go down to the park and see what happens!......I'll check back later!.....

 

[Oso]

I got it all set up calibrated have the ladys voice...LIFT-OFF!..

I had to login on the one Ipad but not the other, did a calibration.

Kevin - what calibration are you doing so often? Compass?

Had to do a second compass calibration. Kept getting compass errors. Everything ok now

 

[Kevin G]

Kevin - what calibration are you doing so often? Compass?

Yes! Turning it Counter-Clockwize, first upright until green lights then front end down and turn it around till green lights

That's what I was afraid you would say.

FYI - Read this post for great information about compass calibrations. It is a terrific older post that was updated when the P3 was released. In a nutshell, you do not need to calibrate before every flight.

Personally, I rarely calibrate my compass but I do check the mod values before every flight to be sure they are between 1400 and 1600. Before launch, I also check that the heading indicator in the GO app is the same as what I can see visually when I look at my Phantom. That gives me another indication that my compass is fine and to NOT mess with it.

Cheers!

In a nutshell, you do not need to calibrate before every flight. It is in fact possible to get a "successful" calibration in a bad (magnetically influenced) location. Then when you launch, you move from the bad location and your P3 flies erratically.

Thanks!......I'll do some reading!..Thanks for the help!
