I am using a P4RTK with different results. Sometimes I will get very tight tolerances (GPS trust .14 ft) other times I will be in the 30-33ft range.
What are some things that I should be looking for to make sure that I have consistent accuracy?

It’s that big of a range with the same drone? That sounds like a processing issue. It should always be around 0.10-0.15ft except if you use obliques. I have seen it jump to 0.5ft in that case.

I will process a couple more and see if I can play with some settings. It may be that I did not have the camera set to 90 degrees. I think it defaults to 60. Do you know the range I can get away with? Will it still be tight if I use 80 degrees?
It will be tighter but in our experience we just can’t run obliques if we want cm-level ground data. Most of the time we fly the nadir map and then do separate flights for structures isolating to them as best is possible. I still think support needs to look at that because that really shouldn’t affect the “Trust Level” they report, just the end product. @Farai_Masheke I think it is a change your Engineers are familiar with but I thought it was across the board? I know it was fixed for a couple of other individuals I worked with but it sounds like Aaron’s are changing back and forth…

I am fairly new to RTK mapping. So it is very likely that this is human error but were is eluding me.

I don’t think so. A friend of mine had the same thing happen with his P4RTK and we went through the same thing with the Yuneec H520E RTK and the Autel Evo II Pro RTK.

The same here with Autel EVO2 Enterprise Dual 640T RTK. I thought it was due to PPK’ed missions by Emlid Studio tagged imagery…
I will re-run a former 0.03 m accurate RTK mission and see if it also gets “derated” now to 10 m GPS trust…
Will report later

It would make sense that the different camera might not be profiled so they’ll to make a similar change they did for the others.
