Litchi under a DJI height restriction

[islandimages]

Some more test flying yesterday with the Beta and Mini2. I was flying under a DJI height restricted area which only allows me to fly up to 200ft. It’s a bit of an overkill by DJI as aircraft passing over this spot (it’s on final approach to runway 08 at our local airport) are restricted to ‘Not below 840 ft QNH’ on the least precision approach (NDB/DME) but it is what it is. Anyway, I noticed that while flying with Litchi it stops the Mini 2 climbing above the 200 ft but, unlike with ‘Fly’ there is no audio warning that you have reached maximum height. Also interesting was that while flying at the maximum height, the forward speed of the Mini 2 reduced to around 5 MPH, it’s proabaly covered in the hand book somewhere but I’d never come across it. I was a bit concerned to start with and thought - wow, the wind is really strong up there. Then reduced height to 195 ft and normal speed service was resumed! The picture is when a flock of Oystercatchers took some interest while I was shooting a panorama

I thinks that’s impressive that it controlled the height, the fly app did tell me the other day I was at 195 ft when I had set the max height to 200ft

Yes, very useful! Just need the Litchi app to make the audio callout. Of course I could enable the regular height calls but I don’t normally need them, just the one approaching maximum.
