Pardon me if I’ve missed some posting protocols….kindly point me in the right direction if so!
OK...(long post), but I'm looking for some confidence building feedback!!!
It was recommended to me to ask for the analysis of @sar104 and/or @Meta4.
Phantom 3 Pro,
Litchi App Ver 2.6.2
Mission ended abruptly...
That's it...no warning....trans signal was 100%
Distance- ~2000', in line of site, no obstacles (over a river)
Alt- ~40' over river
150' from metal bridge
19 satellites
I have flown here numerous times, no issues....even have flown over, and behind the bridge...rock solid...
soooooooo…...
I lost all feed, video, telemetry all of it.
I had a fresh battery, I could see it, so fortunately I had some time to sort it out....after I stopped my knees from knockin
I had no idea about orientation, it was out 2000'....so fortunately I figured it out and hustled back.
Yesterday I had the same (similar) issue...same mission, but it was even closer to me....I brushed it off as me hitting the switch that changes flight modes, but didn't really think I did, and now I KNOW I didn't inadvertently bump a switch.
Links to both logs are below. I also have 2 links for screenshots from airdata log from where the same issue came up...I took a screen shot...., you'll see the bird went into ATTI mode, then GPS ...back and forth a few times.... I see I went from 19 satellites to "0" satellites in .2 (2 tenths) of a second on the 10/23/18 mission.
ok...so now I'm a bit nervous, about flying...what say you, Phantom 3 Pro experts?
thanks in advance
