Very new to drone flying, so pleased to have been introduced to Grey Arrows by Rich.
I bought a Mavic Pro at the end of last year but haven’t had much time to get into it .Therefore I thought the message “Compass disconnected” was caused by something I’d done wrong, and this was why I couldn’t get the compass to calibrate. Even so, i did manage to get in about 2 hours flying in Scotland last week (obviously without RTH).
I also got some time on tinternet thingy, and found through another Mavic forum the reason for the fault was that the compass hadn’t been installed correctly at the factory! It’s now packed up and waiting for the remittance label so I can send it to be fixed under warranty.
I’m hoping to do a commercial licence course soon as I can use the drone in connection with my work on building surveys.
Welcome @Steve52
Hope it is soon returned and you are back out flying again.
If you are looking at the PfCO, there are a few discounts on here, just search for PfCO. Best individual offer I found was £495 from www.skeyetrain.co.uk 3 days non-residential including night rating.
Good luck and keep us all posted on your repair/replacement,
Cheers

Hi Callum
No, not yet.
I did press the RTH button but the drone shot off towards the horizon. Fortunately I was prepared, pressed the pause button, and brought it back manually.
I don’t know where it thinks I was last week, but it told me I was very close to an airport. I wasn’t! The nearest controlled airspace was 40 miles away!
Cheers
Steve
My second Mavic Pro had major compass problems, they were both connected but I was getting so many compass errors and warnings, it was a real wrongun - that one went back to the retailer
Keep us posted on the repair situation?
You’ll find in 99% of cases, DJI don’t repair your drone, they simply issue you with a replacement.
