    Spontaneous 40' ascend with no input

    Agree, but P3 don't drop height/altitude. It flies perfect under all condition (almost like an S92 or EC 225).

    Inadvertent takeoff

    Agree. But just a reminder for all of us stupid. The text, page 21 in the last manual, tells that you can actually fly until its less than to 8% to drain the battery. Its easy for experinsed pilots to say what should be done. It should be written in the manual and made it impossible in the software

    Inadvertent takeoff

    At 5 degrees C I flew the aircraft down to 18% battery capacity. The last 15% at low hover. I landed, but my intention was to drain the battery down to 7 %. The wind was picking up a bit, so I brought the Phantom close to my house in shield by the entrance door, surrounded by obstacles. This...

    Battery discharging

    Dobbelchecked. 2 days on both batteries. Latest firmware on both batteries. Tried to vary time earlier. Will try to reinstall GOapp on the IPad and alter to 3 days. Then I have to wait and see

    Battery discharging

    None, I know that I am resetting the countdowntime if I check. It worked well for a month or so ago. Because of weather I have not been flying too much the last 2 months. But after my last flight a week ago that battery fall from 100% to 72 % Lifetime. New august last year.

    After some days (5-6) the batteries are still at almost 100%. All leds pluss on when checking and verified in the GOapp

    Battery discharging

    I have 2 batteries, both set auto discharge to two days. But the batteries don't discharge. I have tried to change the time, but no change.

    Devastated, flight number 124, Phantom 3 at the bottom of the ocean

    I look forward to se an DJI GO APP update that gives a warning when you have an undervoltage or mismatch of batterycells. I have got 2 batterywarnings during flight. One after takeoff and the latest battery firmware was not installed (was still on the SDcard). Landed safely. Second time the...

    First P3P fall experience

    May be somebody has mentioned it, but is it a simple answer: Does the phantom turn off engine if it senses the propellers stuck?

    Fell Out of Sky - Total Loss

    After a minute or 2 I got alarm and battery failure on the APP. Landet after couple of minutes and discovered that the battery was not properly installed. It was 3-4 mm out of its cradle not snapped in and locked. It would be hard to find the failure if it crashed! Better preeflight is an option!
