DJI Air 2S Starts automated mission but only hovers at 1 meter
I am using iphone 15 iOS 17.7 and Map Pilot Pro with a DJI Air 2S and having an issue where the mission gets uploaded to the drone and the mission starts, the drone takes off to one meter and hovers there but nothing else happens. I let it hover for perhaps 5 or 6 minutes and nothing happens.
Usually when i start an automated mission it hovers at about one meter for a few seconds and then takes off on its planned route.
In DJI I fly i updated the firmware with the recent update and also the drone takes off and seems to work properly controlling it in DJI fly app.
I read somewhere that this could somehow related to virtual stick and to try to change the drone battery and turn off restart that app on the phone controller which i did but the problem still persists.
I am not sure what to do to get the drone to fly its mission at this point.

Have you done a test flight at this location to ensure that the airspace is clear and that there are no errors reported by the aircraft in the DJI app?
I have looked at a bunch of your failed flight logs and they all seem to have the ultrasonic heigh starting at .3 meters. That isn't normal. It usually starts at 0.0 meters.
Are you doing something weird to launch? Try taking off from a hard level surface.

It looks like you got it going.

Hi Zane yes I managed to get it working. I had to do something strange to get it going. I started the flight in DJI Fly app and got it about 1 meter off the ground and then closed the DJI app while it was in the air, not minimize the app but close it. Then I opened map pilot pro and started the mission while it was hovering.
After that the map pilot pro application worked as it always did. I have no idea why that helped but it seemed to get everything going again and had no problems using it as normal after that

Interesting... Thank you for the follow up. It sounds like the aircraft got into some weird state that only the DJI app could clear.
