Almost seems like a power failure. Many people smarter than me on the subject. Will be interested to find out. Sorry for your loss... I always think about that scenario when I fly. Paranoia... Wish the P4P (perhaps the P5P will) have redundant power like the Inspire... I sure hope there is some recourse for you with DJI... Good luck

It's there but, at a glance, nothing jumps out. Your battery looks fine. I've heard of battery dislodging, though. That would explain the sudden end to the flight log. Living in Los Angeles, I don't know or have to think about the effects of cold temperatures.
I considered prop failure, however, I think it would have recorded a rapid decent.
Battery looks fine, nothing out of the ordinary that I could see. I think we can rule out a bird strike, unless that strike popped the battery out of the aircraft. Nothing else looks out of the ordinary. If you were able to retrieve the aircraft, the onboard .DAT files would give a better look as to a motor anomaly. If it were cold temps, you would have seen that reflected in the deviations, I would think.
Nothing definitive in that log, but it's generally too slow to leave a record of power failure. We need to see the DAT file from the aircraft if it will power up.

That's what I thought. Not that it makes a difference in this case. Was just curious, as the profile seemed to have plenty of clearance for that.
Don't be surprised at these answers regarding cold temps. It can have influence on batteries. Just take those, knowing that others are throwing out suggestions to assist. Some more relevant than others......you get the point. We all want to help.
