Had a disaster with my P4 last week. I was flying a well tried and tested Wapoints mission for about the tenth time and all was going well. On the final leg as the P4 was approaching the end point it veered to the left and, before I could react, crashed into a rock face and dropped not four feet of sea water. When I looked at the screen of my device I noticed an extra waypoint had been added after the final waypoint of the mission which steered the drone into the rock face. I hadn't noticed this in the strong sunlight and, indeed, it was't on the saved mission plan when I checked it post disaster. I guess my question is, can you change the uploaded mission by inadvertently touching the screen in flight?
Lessons learned (expensive ones) meticulously check the mission even when airborne and, secondly, be very quick and ready to abort the mission by switching P to S in the event things start to go wrong especially when flying over water and near rocks!
