DJI Mavic Pro "precision landing" feature

Hi,

My name is Isaac and I'm wandering if Map Pilot App does take the steps necessary to allow the "precision landing" advertised by DJI on the Mavic Pro to kick in.

 

See the bottom part of page 15 in: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/mavic/20161226/Mavic+Pro+User+Manual+V1.2.pdf

In the two real world tests that I have done using Map Pilot App the Mavic horizontal position seemed to be skeewed by a few meters (non differential GNSS positioning), am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks

Isaac

We are not currently using that feature. It is important for the pilot to carefully monitor the landing sequence.

I'm increasingly impressed with Map Pilot Pro but the Landing procedures are inconsistent. For multi-battery missions, the return-to-home for battery swap is perfect. The drone (Mavic 2 Zoom) returns to the launch site, yaws to takeoff compass orientation, and lands within one to three centimeters of take-off position every time. Mission termination for any other reason, however, returns to launch position at altitude, does NOT yaw to take-off heading and lands two to three meters away from the original launch point, making manual landing imperative. Why the inconsistency?

There are two types of landings: ones that happen with the programmed flight and ones that happen due to an RTH event. The ones that are programmed will follow the terrain to the landing point and land. However, flights that return to home due to uncontrolled RTH events use the regular DJI return to home function and it is not under our control. It kind of just does what it does. All we can do is set the RTH height.

If I had a vote, I'd vote for the mission termination landings to be the same as the battery swap landings. Battery swap landings are terrific. Mission termination landings are yechhh! :-)
