The subtitle “Black Hawk Down” suggests itself very much, but at least it was clear why the operation failed. In the case of the Mavic-2 Air, everything is in a fog. It is not clear why the heaped expensive Mavic-2 Air drone from the famous DJI suddenly fell.
The video examines the circumstances leading up to the fall of the DJI Mavic-2 Air drone.
Let’s draw some preliminary conclusions — the DJI Mavic-2 Air operator was a fairly experienced pilot — before the ill-fated Mavic, he had two drones — an unknown type and a drone from the same DJI Fantom 3 standart
Thus, we dismiss the reason for the inexperience of the operator from the threshold. The operator of the DJI Mavic-2 Air drone had the skills of piloting a drone and a drone from DJI
We also remove electromagnetic interference as the reason for the fall of the mavic — the flight took place in the steppe, in a deserted area where there are no cell towers and industrial sources of electromagnetic interference capable of distorting or disrupting the functioning of the mavic.
The battery of the DJI Mavic-2 Air drone was charged and did not show an emergency condition or an extremely low battery level until the moment of the fall. An interesting detail is that after the drone fell, it could not turn on the search mode.
The Mavik’s operator chalked it up to the fact that the battery probably flew out when it fell out of its socket. However, after the drone was found, it turned out that this was not the case — the Mavic’s battery was in place, although it was obviously turned off or completely discharged.
Next came the shoals of the DJI drone service center.
The authorized service center could not or did not want to read the logs from a mobile phone, could not or did not want to read the logs from the drone.
Fortunately, the drone DJI Mavic-2 Air during the fall in the field of view of the operator and managed to be found.
The operator of the fallen Mavic is inclined to believe that it fell due to a defective battery.
Those. The physical capacity of the Mavic’s battery did not match the capacity shown by the interface of the drone control program.
However, the DJI Authorized Service Center declined to fully investigate the DJI Mavic-2 Air crash incident and did not recognize the drone crash as a warranty case.
Thus, not realizing the gravity of the situation, the Chinese drone leader stepped back from investigating the causes of the fall of the new DJI Mavic-2 Air drone.
Which, in principle, can lead to a repetition of the fall of any other DJI drone
Only in this case, the drone can fall not in a deserted place, but on a crowded street and cause injuries or even victims, since a sudden fall can pass from a height of several tens or hundreds of meters.
Preliminarily it can be stated that the DJI Mavic-2 Air drone fell due to battery problems
