Mavic Air Flight Path Accuracy

I have a Mavic Air and an Android device; how reliable is the Dronelink app? Would the drone be able to fly through doorways accurately?

    If by a doorway you mean inside or in a GPS denied environment, that will not work. If somehow there is GPS, you can only expect 3-5m accuracy.

    Similar question:

    Altitude: how accurate is flight height in windless conditions? How close or (not close) should you draw a flight plan to buildings? I want to inspect roofing and gutters on my house without collisions

    Altitude range: In programming DroneLink, you specify an altitude range which says "Drone cannot move towards destination until it is within altitude range"....does that mean within each waypoint, it can't move to the next waypoint until it achieves leg 1 ending altitude? e.g. over the peak of a building

    Achievement: I don't understand flight achievement? It doesn't make sense to have a time limit when each leg of the flight may be longer than previous leg?

    Restriction Zones: The starting dialog asks me to "respect restriction zones"? Who sets up those zones?

    Sorry for newbie questions, but the videos are great but leave unanswered items

    Assuming you are using one of DJI's consumer drones (non-RTK), the best you can hope for with the GPS / Barometer is +/- several meters, and in some cases it can be over 10m off, so I would not recommend this use case.

    You can define your own restriction zones by right clicking anywhere in your mission plan, but be aware that they only apply to destination components. This feature was added for one of our enterprise customers and it is not well documented yet.
