I programmed the following mission:
It is a quad, 3DR frame, nothing fancy, APM running V3.0.1.
It executed the auto mission until waypoint 3 then I saw the quad go down in an apparent controlled manner (it is not like i lost a prop) still moving toward waypoint 4, as if the quad wanted to land or something.
This is the google earth picture of the auto mission until interrupted at waypoint3:
I think I then switched to stab mode to recoup its descent but it crashed flipping upside down. I broke the telemetry module (antenna connector) in this crash.
Can anyone help me diagnose what happened and caused this strange crash ?
I see no reason : motors ok, propellers ok, battery was far from empty, I do not think I broke the geofence, ...
I looked at the onboard video and at the moment of the incident I hear a drop in motor power. Looking at the battery voltage it is not below the ESC soft power cutoff though. So I do not know what happened.
here attached the log and kmz files

You know what happened

This is why it is important to isolate vibrations from the APM, otherwise dangerous things can happen resulting in loss of craft or worse harm to operator or bystanders.
