Yeah I think this is fine. All I’d say if that’s an M10 GPS then 8/9 should be 20 hah. If an M8 all good
That badge at last.
Until @Earwig dust down his machine…
Aye well done. M8 all good with 9 sats! I’d say for future if M10 then need 12+? I dunno summit like that?

Doesn’t matter what generation of GPS you use, getting at least 8 sats will give you a good position fix.
The M10 generation units just do it better 
Congrats on your new Speed Freak badge @bmsleight 
I couldn’t update the leaderboard though, as I didn’t know what to call your drone 
Is your’s also a GEPRC Crocodile Baby ?
congratulations
wow that was hard won on scrutiny
I thought I’d have a go at one of these but suspect I’m going to have to hold a luncheon to get committee approval which could be difficult to do given I would not know if i was going to get a record in advance… doing it twice in a row is quite a challenge

I cant not see any CineWhoops on the Leadership board ?
Would a CineWhoop entry be accepted ?

You tell us Brendan
I long post, apologies.
Since July, I have mentioned a few times on how I believe my DJI Air 3 is capped at 67.91 mph when in Atti mode. Basically, it accelerates like mad to 67 mph, then invisible air brakes kick in - like a limiter on a car.
Today was decent enough weather and a tad windy, so I decided to head out to Barbury Castle.
The wind was coming from the west, so I took off, switched to Sports mode, and headed east into the wind, keeping it low as possible. About 1km away, I then climbed to 120m, did a 180, switched to Atti mode and floored it.
The Problem:
I encountered the same issue as before 
But this time it did reach 68.96 mph … but then stayed at this speed for the remainder of the 30 second Atti run.
Rather deflated, and it now just started to rain, I packed up and went home. I then checked the AirData, which is when things got really weird. The HD Flight Player showed that my Atti run only lasted 6.9 seconds, which is impossible, as I just flew 3,000 feet. And that would mean my speed was 283 mph 
I then downloaded the AirData to CSV and examined it in Excel. Sure enough, the Atti run was 30 seconds long, and my max speed was 68.96 mph. But then I noticed that the speed, distance to home, and the total distance travelled … all freezes 7.2 seconds into the atti run 
The data in chart format clearly confirms that there is something not right here.
Below it shows my Air 3 going from 0-60 in 6 seconds … then it’s limited to 68.96 mph for the whole flight. That’s impossible for a pilot to do manually.
Below shows my distance to home decreasing from 3,500 feet … but as soon as I reached 68.96 mph, then suddenly it suddenly show 0 feet to home 
Finally, my total distance flown value freezes as soon as I hit 68.96 mph 
Summary:
- I have not seen this behaviour on any other DJI camera drone that I have used in Atti mode
- I have confirmed that something is limiting my Air 3 in Atti mode
- I do not know if it is something DJI have introduced to all Air 3 drones, or whether it’s a fault with mine
Unless anyone else who has an Air 3 and wants to try Atti mode … I think the next course of action is to contact DJI.
I’ve included a link to the AirData and an extract in Excel format.
The Leaderboard has been updated 
30 posts were merged into an existing topic: Does Atti mode work on the latest DJI drones?
Just seen the leader board and for a Mini 4 Pro I realised I toped this a few days ago practising in sports mode.
As you can see I was just going back and forward getting the hang of using Sport.
Here is the Airdata log.

By the way I thought I’d mention, it’s not modified it’s factory propellers and motors with no form of tuning to it, just good wind conditions.
@AquaticJedi re:
As above, can you upload the log to AirData please and share here?
Flight log? Like the GPS of where it went on that flight? Those statistics are classed as the flight log on the app
Yup, that’s the one you need to provide
You can upload the log manually to AirData, or use the auto-sync method: https://app.airdata.com/main?a=account&apage_id=PARROT_Login
Once it’s on AirData, hit the Share button and then post the link to the share in here
