I can’t find it on the logs, I’ll have to have another look when I’m more awake.

I’ve sold my XIAOMI Mi 4K now to buy my MA but I’m fairly sure it was faster than my MA. It was definitely faster than my Phantom 3 Advanced. I now wish I had checked the speed properly.

Well it’s not doctored and that is a screen shot from the iPad, how is it showing that speed though I want to know, we all know that it’s not possible.

The positioning on (most) GPS is recalculated once every second.

If interference creates a 35 metre position error on one of those calculations, it logs that as 70 metres in 2 seconds (there and back) … even if the GPS hasn’t moved a centimetre.

70 metres in 2 secs = 35 meters / sec = 78 mph. #Bingo

Let’s face it … 35 metres is not much, and it’s amazing that more such errors are not created.
Some GPS have a feasibility filter, and I’m sure the DJI units do, but perhaps all such spikes are not always filtered.

I’ve had the GPS in my car think I’m miles away from where I really am … for a few seconds. Most can throw similar errors.

Do you know what the strange thing is?
I noticed this months ago when it happened and thought there is no chance, now I’ve viewed and gone through the video of those flights logs for that day (three flights), the 125 km/h has changed to 54.4 km/h which is more like it.
Why would it do that?

This is something that often happens to people with too many drones …. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Serious answer: No idea why things are changing. :confused:

Edit: Could just be iffy software summarising/reporting the data.

:rofl: That’s an illness, nothing more :joy: I must stop buying drones, I must stop buying drones, I must stop buying drones :thinking: :grinning:

It’s obviously changed with me playing the flight log videos, I never play any of them, I wonder how accurate the others are in that case.

I’m totally lost now, just synchronized the logs again and it’s back to 125 km/h and the growth value has increased, I haven’t flown since last week as I’ve been in work and I pressed the sync button earlier to upload the logs from the last Sunday.
I then took a quick video so you can see the speed has not been altered.

Chances are Airdata does a better analysis/summary of flight data than DJI … since its how they make their money.
Could be worth opening a free account, if you don’t have one, and uploading your data to there.
