Hi
I am not an experienced flier, so I ask for your patience as there are aspects of flight data that I do not fully understand.
I'm have flown several successful waypoint missions using Litchi with a Phantom 3 Advanced and have had no problems until the latest one, when I had a heart-stopping problem of the drone suddenly ignoring the waypoints and alternately switching between atti and GPS-atti. This was at a range of about 1 kilometer but luckily still in control range, so I was able to initiate RTH. My big worry is that if it happened while out of control range I could have lost the Phantom which I assume would have hovered until the battery ran down. I have uploaded the csv file to Healthy Drones and Phantomhelp and it shows that at all times there were at least 14 satellites detected. Also the fact that the drone came straight home seems to show that there was no compass error. If anyone can explain the cause of this erratic behavior and hopefully set my mind at rest, I would be very grateful.
My csv file can be seen here:-

or here:- Phantom Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
I would also like to show the mission with the waypoints, as this anomaly started exactly at a waypoint, but I do not know how to supply you with the data.
