Last week I had a surprise with the Explorer Waypoint course which hadn't caught my attention before because the waypoints weren't so widely spaced.
A simple route of 6 waypoints over a great distance.
Points 1 to 5 were programmed at 50 meters and the last point programmed lower at 15 meters to regain control and land.
THE ALTITUDE CHANGE WAS MADE AT POINT 5 from 50 METERS TO 15 METERS and the journey from point 5 to point 6 was done at 15 meters altitude.
That is to say that if a tree or other would have been in the way, the drone would not have passed. Fortunately, it was a large field.
Deceived by Lichi who do lower the altitude to the point where we change the height and not at the previous point.
Surprised by this, I repeated the same route by adding a point 6 after point 5 at 50 meters high, leaving the last point at 15 meters: the change in altitude was then made at point 6 and returned at 15 meters to the last point.
MORALITY: In this kind of mission, if you want to lower the altitude before landing, put the penultimate point very close to you and without obstacle until the arrival.
