Since nobody has posted here yet - I'm going to kick this sub forum off with a personal FAIL that I learned so very much from.
It was the early days of the Phantom 2 and my early days flying. I hadn't cracked it open yet to add FPV to the mix. So my battery life indicator was a stopwatch and all my test/past flight info - with a margin of error added. Remember the ancient times of 2014?
I was filming for a cruise line in Vietnam out over the water in wind - final flight of the day. The P2 battery failsafe kicked in during the last moments of landing - JUST beyond the edge of the boat and the riggings.
When something goes wrong - keep your cool - follow your troubleshooting checklist - never give up. (Sounds like a 107 test question doesn't it?)
And maybe treat yourself after for doing so.
