Most common Drone Pilot mistakes

As a new pilot, the best advice I can give it to do all of your early flying out in a large open area, well away from trees, buildings and powerlines.
If you have nothing to bump into, it's hard to get into trouble.
Most crashes are due to flying close to trees and houses.
Once you have mastered the basics, make sure you read the RTH section of the manual and practice it so that you understand what it does, how it works and how to cancel and resume control.

Become as familiar as possible with the app and all its settings, especially return to home. Be sure altitude is set high enough to avoid anything nearby such as buildings and trees. The simulator was my best friend the first week. Read the manual as many times as you can. In addition to the YouTube channels, watch all of the DJI "official" videos. They are short and to the point.
