[QUOTE="Peter, post: 5463, member: 176"] DJI replaced my Spark last week, I have to say they were totally excellent, it took less than 2 weeks from leaving my house to receiving the replacement. :) Second flight with the replacement last night and strangely, after about 9 minutes flight, it started auto landing with 32% battery left and no other warnings, it started a forced landing. I have the battery warning level set to 20%. There's a disparity between IMU and VPS altitude, I was flying directly towards a setting sun at the time so I wonder if that was the cause although I still don't understand why it would start landing. I could still control the Spark and I wasn't far away so all ended well. It could have been quite different if the Spark was further away, over water, etc. Here's the log file, it happened at 9:40.4: [URL='https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/8FF958NV3Q8Z4X7MPNWD/']DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com[/URL] Here's the video of when it happened, I turned the face away from the sun in case that stopped it: [MEDIA=youtube]W2oxtO4rnSs[/MEDIA] Any ideas?
