Abandonment Point restart

Flying large 3-4 battery mission with a DJI Phantom 4.

On first battery completed as normal and returned to home for change. Once landed powered down craft, swapped battery, powered up and relaunched.

Craft climbed to 30m (not 50m height of mission) and directly above home point.

I could not get the craft to return to the abandonment point or restart the mission.

What did I miss?

The 30 meter flight limitation issues has been fixed in version 5.5.4. 

But, this issue only occurs when using Virtual Stick controls. For some reason you have that enabled in the Settings even though your aircraft is waypoint flight equipped. Virtual Stick controls are inferior and waypoint should be used if at all possible.

OK, not sure how but I have turned off "Force Virtual Stick" in the advanced settings. Should "Advanced settings" also be turned off ?

It is fine to have the Advanced Settings showing. But definitely don't start enabling stuff if you don't know what it is!

Eu tive muito esse mesmo problema, e ele só acontecia quando eu interferia no voo ou no pouso. Se depois de iniciar a missão e não mais tocar nos sticks, deixe-o pousar sozinho, então o problema não ocorrerá. Zane, eu posso escrever em português ?

The answer to the 30m limit and the flight radius error is to make sure you are recently logged into your DJI account. It may help to log out and then log back in. Then do this:

  1. Go into DJI Fly
  2. Attempt to start up the motors manually
  3. Sign in, accept, agree, consent to any NFZ warnings
  4. Attempt the start up the motors manually (“manually” = sticks down and in)
  5. If successful, close the DJI Fly and go back into MPP without turning drone/rc off
  6. Attempt to start up the motors in MPP manually. 
  7. If successful, stop the motors manually and use Map Pilot Pro. 
  8. If not successful, go back into the DJI app and make sure all applicable zones are unlocked.
