Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge of this. On Saturday I had plans to film waterfalls in a valley with extremely high mountains on either side. Before taking off, my P3S reported safe to fly, but non-gps mode (P-atti). I'm comfortable with flying in atti mode and I know RTH is available in ATTI provided you have sattelites, but I'm not sure whether RTH will be available in P-ATTI mode with a low sattelite count. In my case, it picked up 5 sats, and this was 1 short of being sufficient for P-GPS. I know that position hold in P-GPS requires more sats (at least 6) because it needs to be very accurate, but my question is :
Although the sattelite count is too low for P-GPS and position hold, surely DJI programmed the units to be able to use any sattelites it could find to use in RTH mode, and attempt RTH, even though that count may be too low for P-GPS and position hold? Or not?
(I do know and realise that the home point obviously needs to be recorded for RTH to work, but lets assume it has been recorded).
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
