[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 109611, member: 3317"] Today I was flying in an area where I have flown frequently and got compass areas in the both locations I launched from. In the first location, I got compass errors before I even started the motors by double tapping the battery button while holding the Spark. I immediately shut-down and moved a couple of metres away. I then tried again and was able to launch and run an Active Track mission successfully but upon review of the flight I realized I had a compass error which I did not notice in flight. Also, I realize my battery temps were low. I should have waited until the battery warmed up more. Here's the log from the flight. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/89GH52O23K963S8TPHXL[/URL] On my second flight, I had moved to a different location that I have launched from many times. Shortly after launch (hand launch via double battery tap), I got continuous compass errors. I abandoned the flight and landed in my hand. Here's the log for that flight. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/XUQPUNYBS5JFSCI2E27T[/URL] In both flights, the AC was never out of control and was responding to stick inputs. Earlier this month, I had compass errors well into the middle of a flight in a totally different area. I posted the thread [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/threads/normal-flight-atti-mode-compass-error-atti-mode-normal-flight-what-happened.16692/#post-108816']here[/URL] about that incident. Today at home I checked the compass in the GO4 app and everything was good. I would really like to figure out what is going on here, as up until my first post on Jan. 10th about the issue, I had never had a compass error in over 360+ flights and over two years owning my Spark. I have not calibrated my compass in well over a year, launch in metal free areas and 99% of the time I launch from my hand. Would calibrating the compass help? The AC firmware and GO4 app are all current. I am hoping this is an easy fix as my Care Refresh Plus just ran out last month and I never made a claim in two years having it. Thanks, Chris [/QUOTE]
