So why is this thread generic? Seems pretty specific to me. If I'm posting in the wrong place or doing something else wrong in my endeavor to understand my loss, someone please let me know.
Did you get an opportunity to review my flight log? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.You can upload and view your TXT flight log here. Post a link back here if you'd like us to comment on it.
Sorry for the confusion fellers.Mod., please delete this post
Ok, is that better etiquette than requesting that a post be deleted?You can't delete the post but you can edit it and remove the text, leaving one character.
At 4m 32s in your log, I see you used the DJI GO auto land feature. That told your Phantom to land at its current location (which is what it did). If you would have held down the RTH button instead, it would have flown back to the home point before landing.Did you get an opportunity to review my flight log?

Thanks for the investigation. I need to study and practice more before flying over water again. I'm not sure of the command to Auto Land but I always swiped the arrow pointing to the H before to "return to home" and it always did. Is it possible I used that command but something told the machine that it should Auto Land instead or do you think I inadvertently used s different command?At 4m 32s in your log, I see you used the DJI GO auto land feature.

You can delete your before somebody post below you. (Did Today)Sorry for the confusion fellers.
I wasn't requesting that the thread be deleted! Haha.
I was requesting that my post be deleted.
I began to type a post, then changed my mind, so was asking a mod to delete it.
I am not aware of the ability to delete my own post. How do you do it?

There are two icons on the left side of DJI GO. One auto takes off and auto lands. The other one (with the "H") initiates RTH. Is it possible that you swiped the wrong icon?I'm not sure of the command to Auto Land but I always swiped the arrow pointing to the H before to "return to home" and it always did.

Thanks much. I believe you are correct. I have not been able to duplicate without the drone. I assume the auto takeoff icon turns into auto land after airborne.There are two icons on the left side of DJI GO. One auto takes off and auto lands. The other one (with the "H") initiates RTH.

@Nauti Bird Sorry about the loss. Unfortunately, we've heard this story dozens of times. We've lost one in a river, and it is a sinking and terrible feeling.I am very appreciative of all of the thoughts and help on my issue. Lessons learned > 1) Better understanding of all controls. 2) More practice before flying over water. 3) Never, ever take your eyes off of your quad or the camera screen. 4) Do not get distracted. Thanks much! Now that I've learned something, I think I'll order my replacement drone.
RTH will also just land it where it is, if it's within 20m of home.Hi sorry to here about your loss shouldn't you use rth? I thought auto land put the p3 down at its current location?
