Weird behaviour (loss of signal and control) from Avata 2

DJI drones
1

Hi all

I was flying my Avata 2 a month or so ago, only about 5 metres from myself. I lost signal in the goggles and then I had no control.

The drone kept flying but just drifted off, hit a hedge, flipped upside down and went to full power for a few seconds. Then eventually turned off.

I was giving it the command to disarm, to no avail.

I wonder if it is related to MadTech’s open letter about O3 here: DJI Open Letter – DJI Fix This – sUAS News

I daren’t fly it, since this happened.

I reached out to DJI asking if they could look at my log files and work out what happened. They promised to have someone contact me within 3 days, but I never heard back.

Is anyone here any good at reviewing DJI log files? Or can anyone make a good suggestion?

Which googles are you using? It appears the issue is with Goggles 3, I’ve got the Avata 1 with goggles 2 which has been solid.
Post your Air Data here we may be able to workout the what transpired to final signal lose, I’m no expert but it’s worth a try.
