DJI GO App Question - No "Safe to Fly"

[Pat Anderson]

I have a Phantom 3 Standard, have flown it twice. On my DJI GO app, I have never seen the yellow "Safe to Fly" bar. Instead I see "Ready to Go (GPS)". If I tap that, it brings up the same Aircraft Status screen that the videos show from tapping "Safe to Fly." I have calibrated the compass each time I have flown. Everything seems to function great. But it bothers me that I don't see the "Safe to Fly" bar that everyone else seems to have. Do I have something wrong?

Are you trying to fly in atti mode?

I would continue to fly in gps mode, if you are a beginner.

Ready to go means just that! Looks like you have good signal and satellites, so fire it up. "Ready to fly" is probably a better announcement than "safe to fly" would be. The system can only evaluated the state of the aircraft, not the conditions around it! And reconsider calibrating your compass every time. Consensus here that you should only do it once unless something such as a crash happens and/or you get a warning notice. DJI DOES NOT recommend recalibrating every time.
