Describe the bug

I was coaching my friend to control my drone using altitude mode but suddenly the drone went out of control and ended up crashing and injured my friend.
I'm using PX4_FMU_V6C with v1.14. I haven't modified this drone for more than a year and it was stable and reliable until yesterday.

So I'm confused about two issues:

  1. EKF instance changed which I checked:
    estimator_status/filter_fault_flags: 32768 = 2^15
    # 15 - true if bad delta velocity bias estimates have been detected
    Which innovation test ratio should I look into?

  2. I checked the hardware again today and without any fixing, I am able to control it using my RC. Is it possible there is software bug causing MANUAL_CONTROL_LOSS?

It changed because your accelerometer was clipping. Your vibrations are high for the whole flight.

You need to tune your vehicle and ensure the flight controller is isolated from your vehcile vibrations. Or just have it stop vibrating so much. maybe balance props. then after that you can do IMU filtering, and then PID tuning
