DJI Air 3 Lake School Pasture Waypoint Mission

This is a re-run of a 3-mile long waypoint mission I've run before with other drones (Yuneec Typhoon H, Autel Robotics EV II Pro 6K). Out to Lake Shadow, north to St. Michael High School, then west to a pond and pasture in the northwest corner of the Shenandoah subdivision in Baton Rouge.

Flight turned up a squawk or two. Drone kept climbing to the maximum altitude (393 feet) after waypoint #2 at the lake for some reason. It should have descended from 354 to 347 feet. After pausing and manually descending to 335 feet and then resuming the mission, it immediately climbed back to 393 feet before moving on. But it ultimately descended on its own to cross waypoint #3 at the high school at the prescribed 347-foot altitude. The rest of the flight was pretty much uneventful, with just one instance of low video link signal as the drone momentarily disappeared behind a house.
