Hello,
I just did an auto take off, followed by a crash into the water. ( I think it was accelerating into the water?)
Did I ever have GPS lock before I took off?
What I can I learn from this experience?

Thank you.
Please provide the original .txt and 21-06-27-05-48-07_FLY085.DAT. I.e please don’t convert them.
@BudWalker added.
You only added 2 DAT files. Not the original .txt file.
@Fly_Dawg @BudWalker Did I do it correctly this time?
The .txt is not in the list of files. So unless you uploaded to a different directory, then the answer is no.
Try uploading the .txt file to the log viewer at the link below. Then we can get the original .txt from there if you share that link back here.
There are several things about this incident that suggest that it was caused by geomagnetically distorted launch site. Probably because the pier under structure contained steel which was then close to the MP…
At -23 secs the MP went from reasonable values of magMod and Yaw-magYaw to problematic values - I’m betting this is when the MP was placed on the pier in preparation for launch.
These observations and a few others all point to a geomagnetically distorted launch site. But, the MP was in ATTI (not GPS_ATTI) and should have been impervious to an incorrect compass. I.e. it’s only GPS_ATTI mode where erratic flight can be caused by the Flight Controller attempting to correct position based on incorrect compass data.
That said I still think this incident would not have occurred if the launch was delayed until the controller indicated that GPS_ATTI mode was in effect.
@BudWalker Thank you very much for the post-mortem.
This is very helpful.
Where are you guys finding these files? I can’t see any of them and would like to “play”.
The first post in this thread has a GoogleDrive link. Click that and the log file used was
