Appears that I'm hitting a GeoFence

[Dwheil]

I have been flying my Potensic Atom 2 for awhile and it has been preforming as expected. As I have been gaining experience with what it is capable of I was flying yesterday and while climbing, when it got to 326 ft. (100M) " the Alt indicator flashed Red" and it would not go higher.

Not sure if this issue was there from the first flight or not, this was the first time I went that high.

The max Altitude is set to 394 Feet , other than that it has been flying perfectally.

There is no flight restrictions in my area although there is a local airport (GKT) about 2 miles to the west.

Went out and flew a bit today and it appears there is an issue with the "Max Heigjht/ Vertual Fence" settings. When I set the Max Altitude to 459', The drone will cruise rite up to the 394' max elevation, and get the 394' caution statement, before stopping. It appears that the drone's altimeter is correct, but the " Max Flight Altimeter" is high by about 15%. Is there any correction for this or is a software issue.

400 ft is the FAA imposed max altitude for recreational drones. You need to take the Recreational UAS safety test, and obtain your Trust Certificate.

I just did the review for the test and now know the 400ft max ceiling. I believe the OP was inquiring about the ceiling threshold and his set limits were not working properly. I am too new of an owner to make a comment, but would like to know if it's a setting issue, software issue, his own personal drone issue, user error or any combo?

Thank you - tstex
