Hello,
From what I've read about VRS, and the Phantom 4, it seems that DJI has made some changes to make it more difficult to enter into this state, which is great if true!!
I am a relatively new phantom pilot, and everyday i'm out here reading these forums just to gain knowledge about possible situations and scenarios, and what to do if i ever encounter these situations, thankfully i haven't had any problems, and its been absolutely awesome flying this thing.
I was out flying my phantom in a park the other day, i'm up about 200' and i start to descend straight back down, left stick full throttle down, and i notice the bird tilt a little bit left and then slightly to the right and i got nervous, but because of what I've read i knew to push forward on the right stick and descend while moving horizontally, which i did whether i needed to or not. So my question is this:
Is this an indication that i could have possibly started to enter a VRS state, or could it just have been that the wind picked up and gave the bird a little push, and the GPS was trying to hold its position? Just trying to understand what happened, b/c it made me a little nervous.
Thanks in advance for the responses. This forum has been an excellent resource.
