Changing flight course distance tolerance using a marker or something else.

David Ritter

DJI Air 2s

I fly near obstacles at low levels and don't want the drone to deviate more than 8 feet from course; this actually works fine.  The problem is that higher speed winds aloft (250 ft ATL) can make the 8-feet course tolerance too small.  This happened twice at the same spot where speed was slowed to accommodate very slow rotation of 180 degrees.


Air Data calculated wind at 2 mph at surface (actually measured wind velocity 2-3 mph) and at 4.15 mph at 250 feet so it wasn't so windy.  The second flight had wind at 8 mph at 225 ft.

I'm guessing that the only place to establish course tolerance is in the settings, unless I'm mission something.

I need to look at more flight log details to confirm conditions.

Further review of plan.  Market 2 sets speed at 8 mph and speed remains constant to market 5 where it is set to 3 mph.  Mission aborted at about marker.  The mission preview shows sharp speed decrease at marker 5.  I had horizontal deceleration at  -13 fps.  I suspect that the drone was not able to smoothly adjust speed and thus caused off course error.  I may try again with horizontal  deceleration at a much lower rate.
