Haven't flow for a year. I was asked to do a demo for a high school ROTC class. Broke out the Phantom 3 Advanced. Updated software and firmware to latest version. Did a couple of short hovers in the backyard. Everything was good. Flew for the class. When battery reached 30% low battery level, the P3 immediately landed itself. As it was only about 20 feet up, there was not time to cancel. Came down fast, but did a soft landing of the football field. I did an engine restart and flew it back to me. The whole time on the flight back it was beeping at me. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the screen for messages.
I don't remember getting the "home point set" message or the typical preflight screen before take off. If home point was set for a location miles away, would the P3 land on low battery? I don't know what my battery % was, but about 2 minutes before it was 50%. My settings are 30% low and 10% critical. Any thoughts on where I went wrong?
