DJI iOS Mobile SDK causing Auto-landing on M600, M100, Inspire 1, Phantom 3 Series, & A3/N3 flight controllers.
On December 25th, Kittyhawk was notified by DJI that a previous release of their iOS Mobile SDK (v4.7) has been known to cause the above aircraft models to occasionally determine they are within a no-fly zone, initiating landing during flight. This affects all users flying within Kittyhawk Flight Deck and may cause unexpected auto-landing while in flight on the M600, M100, Inspire 1, Phantom 3 series, and A3/N3 based aircraft.
DJI has released a new version of the iOS Mobile SDK that resolves this bug, we are in the process of implementing this update and will be providing the Apple App Store with a new version for review/publication on the market promptly. This fix will be included in the early-January iOS release on the App Store.
If you have questions or are unsure if this bug will affect you, please contact your Customer Success representative.
