One of the most often asked questions about INAV, or rather most often encountered problems is: “INAV is not arming. Why?”
There are at least a few possible reasons for it, but luckily INAV Configurator is smart enough to report them in a nice way.

And there can be many reasons: accelerometer calibration, faulty hardware, enabled GPS modes or just no GPS fix.

Today I will show you how to identify the real reasons for INAV UAV not arming and give most basic suggestions how to solve those problems.

      Thanks for uploading this video – it will be a very useful check when sorting arming problems
      My arming problem occurred when setting up a fixed wing – it was due to a non-compatible ESC
      I switched to a different ESC and the problem was solved
      regards

      Thank you for a very useful video. I would like to more about arming problem(s) for fixed wing models as well.

      hi, thank you for the video. You said you are ready to arm at the end of it but navigation is safe was in red how come?

      I have this problem with my omnibus f3 board. I cant get that nav is safe in green. I only test my hardware its all on the bench and the only things I have on it is RX (ppm) for testing TX outputs. This is all fine. But if I want to simulate arming with switch it wont let me. Navigation is safe never goes green what ever I tried. CPU load is on 2%. Is this because I do not have usb and motor connected or should it work without it ? Maybe I have stupid question but this is first time I am doing this. Thank you

      Pawel I have followed all your videos and have put them into iNav and I still cannot get the board to Arm.

      Pawel, given that I have an issue with the aileron and rudder throws in HORIZON mode, and you explained that that is because the Integral will not be active if the controller is not active, I grabbed an extra controller, and configured it without GPS nor barometer, nor compass or magnetometer (disabled them in the Configuration, and the UART port). I am running iNav 1.9.3. Now, with that said, I cannot get a green in the Setup tab on the navigation safe. Of course, I don’t have active or configured any NAV mode. Therefore, the question is, if we are forced to have a GPS connected to be able to activate the controller. Otherwise, which other situation would block the navigation safe, considering that I am not using navigation?

      I’m going to translate for English, it may be, it would be better for you to help me, I’m not meeting anyone in Brazil with your knowledge.

      Hi friend, good evening I follow your channel and I decided to mount a drone, but I have a big problem when I set and I put in Alt Hold mode and nav Hold the drone oscillates a lot and turns over and falls. I do not know what else to do. I’m using
      Spracer F3 – inav 1.9

      Zrobiłem platformę ( taką doczepianą do dowolnego modelu – żeby mieć podgląd FPV) na naza z gps i magnetometrem, ale bez odbiornika. Wszystko działa, ALE INAV nie chcę podawać mi kierumku do domu i odległości bez uzbrojenia silnika, a to w tej kfigoracji jest nie możliwe, czy mogę go jakoś “oszuać”, żeby sam automatycznie po podaniu zasilania uzbrajał się?
      Pomóż jeżeli możesz bo sam nie poradzę

    16. Kenneth Holland

      Why not change Inav so it is like pixhawk. Where you can arm and fly in non GPS modes. If you try and select a GPS mode while flying and you don’t have 3D lock it wont allow the change until you get a 3D lock.
      I find sometimes you are standing behind your quad for ages waiting, where I could be flying. This happens on the first flight of the day always. If you change over batteries straight away the wait is quite shorter.

      Te enrollas como las persianas pero al final no das ninguna solución al mensaje de “navegación no segura”
