ARs from whichthe exemptionis requested Petitioner seeks relieffrom thefollowing FARs: 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1) 91.203 (a) and (b) 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), 91.417(a) and (b),
Alevel ofsafetyatleastequal to thatprovided bythe each rule can be maintained after such exemption, as explainedbelow. Backgroundandthe FederalAviationAct This Petition is submittedto fulfill Congress' goal underSection 333(a) through (c) ofthe Reform Act, which directs the SecretaryofTransportationto consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems mayoperate safelyin the NAS before completion oftherulemakingrequired under Section 332 ofthe Reform Act. In makingthis determination, theAdministratormustdeterminewhichtypes ofUASs do notcreate a hazardto users ofthe NAS orthepublic orpose a threatto national securityin lightofthefollowing:

• The UAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; • Operation oftheUAS in close proximityto airports and populated areas; and • OperationoftheUAS withinvisual line ofsightoftheoperator. (ReformAct§ 333 (b)(1)). IftheAdministrator determinesthat such vehicles "may operate safely 2

# in the national airspace system,the Secretaryshall establish requirements for the safe operation ofsuch aircraftin the national airspace system. (Reform Act §333(c).) The Secretaryhas delegated his aviation authorityto theAdministrator ofthe FAA. The Federal Aviation Act expresslygrantsthe FAA the authorityto grantexemptions from its regulatoryrequirements for civil aircraft, a term defined under §40101 of theAct, which includes UAS. The Administratormaygrantan exemption from a requirementofa regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) ofthis section or any sections 44702-44716 ofthe FederalAviationAct ifAdministratorfinds the exemption in thepublic interest. IntendedUse 

# Petitioneris licensed to operatetelevision station KWCH-DT, a CBS Television Network affiliate, and otherrelated broadcastfacilities servingtheWichitaHutchinson television Designated MarketArea (DMA). It

# also has ajoint sales/shared services agreementto operateUnivision affiliate KDCU-DT, serving a large portion ofthe Hispanic population in Kansas. In its course ofbusiness, Petitionerproducesvideo productionsthatinclude television commercials, promotional messages, community service and public service announcements, includingthose for charitable organizations, as well as news andweather broadcasts includinginformation aboutlocal businesses, community development, and governmental activities. Petitionerwishes to bestservethepublic, its clients, and charitable organizations with video information and services thatmost effectively "tell the story," and a UAS mayenhancethe abilityto showand document commercial and news informationthatis notas effectively shown in otherviews. Petitionerhas a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus with video and still cameraimage gatheringcapability, which employees have operated on a recreational andhobby basis. Petitionernowwishes to use itfor commercial purposes undertheterms of this Petition, perterms and limitations thatmaybe setforth in an FAA grantof exemption, and underthe "blanketCOA'' 

# (pursuantto FAA information released March 24, 2015), or such other COA as Petitionermaylater seek.
ExtentofRelief, Reasons Such Reliefis Requested, and Equivalent Level of Safety CFR § 

# 61.23(a) and (c) Medical Certificates 

# Sections 61.23(a) and (c) addressthe requirementofmedical certificatesfor pilots. Section 61.23(c) permits theholder ofa sportpilotcertificateto act as PIC ofa lightsportaircraft (landplane maximumtakeoffweight 1,320 pounds, seatingno more thantwo people) with eithera medical certificate orU.S. issued driver's license. The Petitioner's UAS weighs aboutthree pounds, and carries no people. Petitioner requests exemptionfrom 61.23(a) upon a finding thatan equivalentlevel ofsafety will be providedbyallowingUAS operationbypilots withvalid U.S. state-issued driver's license oran FAA-issued medical certificate. Petitioner also requests relief 3

# from 61.23(c) to allow sportpilotcertificateholders to operate aircraftotherthan LSA with a U.S. issued driver'slicense. CFR §§ 

# 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a),and 61.315(a): PilotPrivileges Sections 61.101 (e)(4) and (5) and 61.113(a) limitrecreational orprivate pilots to noncommercial operations. Section 61.315(a) addressestheprivileges and limitations ofthe holder ofa sportpilot certificate. Unlike a conventional aircraft thatcarries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, Petitioner's UAS is remotely operated with no pilot, passengers orpropertyofothers onboard. The aircraftemploys manyautomated features, such as GPS location hover, autonomous returnto launch point, low-batteryauto-land, andlost-control-linkauto-land. Additionally, safety will be further assured in thatPetitioner assures anyUAS operatorwill have appropriatetrainingand currency, in orderto safely operatethe UAS in a manner consistentwith howthe UAS will be operated underthis Petition, including evasive and emergencymaneuvers and maintainingappropriatedistances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Given its size, speed, operational capabilities, and lack ofcombustiblefuel, andthe UAS pilottraining ofthe Petitioner,the risk associatedwiththis UAS operation, as comparedtotherisk ofcommercial operations contemplatedbyPart61 with conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) is minimal, allowing operations ofthe UAS as setforth inthis Petition thatare equivalentto, orexceed, the presentlevel ofsafetyprovided underthe F ARs cited above and do notrise tothelevel ofrequiring a commercial pilotto operate the aircraft. 14 CFR § 

# 91.7 (a) 

# Civil AircraftAirworthiness As therewill be no standard airworthiness certificate for the aircraft, should this exemptionbe granted,no FAA regulatory standardwill existfor determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraft, and use ofmanufacturer-recommended operational and maintenance procedures, as well and pre-flightchecklists priorto each flight, an equivalentlevel ofsafetywill beprovided. 14 C.F.R. § 

# 91.119(c): Minimum SafeAltitudes Section 91. 119 establishes safe altitudes for operation ofcivil aircraftincluding limiting flight over otherthan congested areasto an altitude of500 feet abovethe surface, except over openwater or sparselypopulated areas, and otherthan for takeofforlanding. Petitioner's UAS operationwill belimitedto a maximum height abovethe average terrain of400 feet, and because its photographyand aerial data collection gatheringfunction is mostfunctional ataltitudebelowthat, an exemption from Section 91 .119(c) is needed. The equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be achieved given the size, weight, speed, and material withwhichthe UAS is built. Petitioner has noted thattrainingand currencyofUAS pilots will be conducted, and operator will adhereto terms and limitationsthattheFAA may setforth in grantingthis Petition. It

# mustbefurther notedthatPetitionerhas used manned aircraftand rotorcraftfor aerial photographyin the past, so FAA authorization for Petitionerto conductphoto flights with UAS mayreplace need for mannedrotorcraftthatweigh thousands ofpounds, maycarryhundreds ofpounds ofcombustiblefuel, carry 4

# people on board, and can pose substantial riskin theiroperationtothose onboard orbelow, in the unfortunate eventofan aircraftfailure ormishap. Waiver ofthis rule for UAS operations thus assures an equivalentlevel ofsafety, and in fact may enhance safetywhen comparedto operations ofconventional aircraft orrotorcraft used to fulfill similar needs.
14 CFR § 

# 91.121AltimeterSettings 

# The regulation requires a person operatingan aircraftto maintain altitudeby reference to an altimeter setto the elevation ofthe departure airportoran appropriate altimeter settingavailable before departure. The UAS does nothave a barometric altimeter, nordoes ithave a pilotaboardto read an altimeter,ifithad one. The UAS does have an altitude readoutonits control display, calculated continuouslybased on GPS data. An equivalentlevel ofsafetyis achieved bythe operator confirming GPS data is received properlypriorto flight, confirmingcurrent altitude accuracy eitherin relation to the surface orthe elevation ofthelaunch location, and monitoring altitude duringflight.
14C.F.R. § 

# 91.151(a): Fuel Requirementsfor Flightin VFR Conditions 

# This regulation prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplaneunder VFR conditions unless (consideringwind and forecastweatherconditions) thereis enough fuel to fly to the first pointofintended landingand, assumingnormal cruising speed- (1) Duringthe day, to fly afterthatfor atleast 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthatfor atleast45 minutes." The batteries poweringthe UAS provide approximately 20 minutes ofpoweredflight. Withoutan exemptionfrom 14 C.F.R. § 91.151, the UAS's flights would notbe possible. Given thelimitations on its proposed operations and thelocation ofthose proposed operations, Petitioner believes an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a) is safe and within the scope of prior exemptions. Operatingthe small UAS without 30 minutes ofreserve fuel does notengenderthetype ofrisks thatSection 91.151 (a) was meantto preventgiven the size, speed, an limited line-of-sightdistance from pilotunderwhich theUAS operates

.The fact thatit carriesno pilot, passenger, orcargo also enhances its safety. In theunlikely eventthatthe UAS achieves a lowbattery state, itwould simplyreturnto home and land. Given its weightand construction material,the risks areless than contemplatedbythe currentregulation. Petitionerbelieves that an equivalentlevel ofsafety canbe achieved bymaintainingfive minutes ofreserve batterylife, which would be morethan adequate for aircraftreturnto its planned landing zone from anywhere in its planned operating area. 14 CFR § 

# 91.203 (a) and 

# (b) CivilAircraft; CertificationsRequired 

# § 91.203 (a) (1) requires thata civil aircraftmaynotbe operated unless ithas "within it" the currentairworthiness certificate, and displayed as specified in § 91.203(b); and§91.203 (a) (2) requiresthatitalso mustcarrya "registration certificate

...or...the second copy oftheAircraftRegistrationApplication

..." Given its small size and its configuration, theUAS has no abilityto carry documents or paperwork, and itserves no purpose since there is no person onboard.An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be achieved bythe Petitionermarkingtheregistry 5

# number ontheaircraft, and keepingthese documents, to theextenttheyare applicable tothe UAS, on file and available atits place ofoperations orbusiness offices. 14 CFR § 

# 91.405 (a), 14CFR § 

# 91.407 (a) (1), 14CFR § 

# 91.409 (a) (2). 14 CFR § 

# 91.417 (a) and 

# (b) Maintenance Inspections Section 91.405(a) requires thatan aircraft operator orowner "shall have that aircraftinspected as prescribed in subpartEofthis partand shall betweenrequired inspections, exceptas provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part43 ofthis chapter

...". Section 91.407 similarlymakes reference to requirements in Part43; Section 91.409(a)(2) requires an annual inspection for the issuance ofan airworthiness certificate. Section 91.417(a) requirestheowneroroperatorto keep records showing certain maintenancework thathas beenaccomplished by certificated mechanics, under Part43, orlicensed pilots and records ofapproval ofthe aircraftfor returnto service. Maintenance and preventive ofthe Petitioner's UAS will be accomplished bythe owner/operator or proficienttechnicians, pursuanttothe manufacturer's maintenance guidance and instructions. An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be achieved becausethe UAS is small in size, will carryonly aerial data collection equipment, and carries no people, propertyofothers, orcombustible fuel, and will operatein conformance with this Petition and asthe FAA may setforth in anygrantofexemptions. The operatorwill ensurethatthe UAS is in working orderpriorto initiatingflight, perform preventive maintenance andrequired maintenance, andkeep a log ofanymaintenancethatis performed; moreover, theoperatorand its personnel arethepersons mostfamiliar withthe aircraft and arebestsuitedto maintainthe aircraftin an airworthy condition. An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be maintained withthe grantof exemptions from these rules, as the FAA has donein its grants ofnumerous prior exemptions. Grant ofExemption ServesthePublic Interest Petitioneroperatesbroadcasttelevision stations, servesthe publicwith commercial messages, information in supportofcharitable organizations, provides information from local governments and organizations, and provides news, weatherand sports informationto hundreds ofthousands ofpeoplewithinits stations' viewing areas. KWCH is, andhas been, for quite sometime, the most-viewed television station in Kansas. Permittingcommercial operation ofthe Petitioner's UAS to enhance all these functions will servethepublic, governments and public agencies, charitable organizations,businesses and the many othertypes oforganizationsthatrely on broadcast/cabletelevision for messages and critical information. Grant ofExemptionWould NotAdverselyAffectSafety Petitionerhas setforth above howexemptions from the regulations specified can be donewhile maintaininga level ofsafety equal to, orbetterthan, thatprovided bythe rules noted. 6

# Petitioner notes thatitwill operatein the safestmannerpossible. Ithas on its staff an FAA certificated private pilotwhowill betrained in the operation ofthe UAS so thatperson mayserve as pilot-in-command ofthe operator's UAS. Ithas other experienced UAS pilots, who amongthemhave years ofaccident-free UAS flight experience, operatingfor hobbyorrecreation, whowill participateintraining and operations, andwhomthe operatorwill consider supportingiftheychooseto obtain FAA pilotcertification. And ithas, andwill further refine, checklists for safe operation and maintenance ofthe aircraft, and will maintain appropriate flight logs. UAS Aircraft 

# Petitioner's aircraftis a Phantom 2Vision+,whichhas a maximum speed ofabout 33 mph, and normalweight, with battery, ofunder 3 pounds.Aircraftis equipped with optional DJI Prop Guards, used atall times, which further enhance its safety when operatingnearpeople. Downlinks for video information are supplied to a Wi-Fi-enabled device such as a smartphone or IPad. All software and firmware is up to date. All frequencies used bytheUAS complywith Federal Communications Commission requirements. Operator and its pilots rely on, for its operations and flight training: DJI Phantom 2Vision+ PilotTraining Guide V1.1 DJI Phantom 2Vision +User Manual V1.8 DJI Phantom 2Vision+ Quick StartGuide (2014) The mostup-to-dateversion ofthemanuals areavailable online (User Manual and Specifications included as appendiceswith this Petition): All currentoperatingandtraining documents and relevantinformationfrom DJI are downloadable here: http:f/www.dji.com/product/phantom-2-vision-plus/download Detailed specifications for the DJI Phantom 2Vision Plus arehere: http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2-vision-plus/spec
Forthe video feed, a currentversion ofDJI Vision app, 1.0.52(1903) is used on both !Phone and IPad. TheApp includes the 1.8 version ofthe Phantom User Manual. Additionally, DJI on itswebsiteprovides numerous other safety, operational, and airspace informational items, which will bereviewed continuallybythe Operator. UAS Operations Proceduresand Safety Considerations 

# The PIC will complete a pre-flightplanningand checklistpriorto flight: • Verify daytime operation andVFRweather conditions, windwithin acceptable parameters.
7

# • Verify flight is in compliancewith anylocal laws orlimitations. • Cross reference area offlight with map to ensure compliancewith flight environmentrequirements, including compliancewith airspace limitations percharting, COA, orTemporaryFlight Restrictions (TFR). Services such as FAA app B4UFly (beta released Sept. 2015, notyetoperational), UAV Zones orDrone Buddywill be consulted. • Check area offlight to ensurethere areno people (exceptparticipating and authorizedindividuals) within any specified limiting distances ofanticipated flight. • Review flight environmentwith visual observernoting any obstacles or anticipated over-water operations. • Ensure remotecontroller, batteryand anyadditional batteries, Range Extender (ifused) and smartphone o.r tabletare fully charged. • Ensure propellers are mounted correctly, and check aircraftintegrity. • Ensure gimbal clamp and cameralens cover has beenremoved. • Ensure dampingabsorbers are in good condition, notbroken orworn. • Ensure anti-drop kits havebeen mounted correctly. • Calibrate compass. • On startup, ensure motors arefunctioning as normal. • Verify operational control link. • Verify GPS signal reception, and position and altitude accuracy. • Conductfunctional check ofUAS upon first lift-offbefore continuing flight. Abortflight ifany deficiencyis noted. This preflight checklistwill be modified and adjusted pursuantto anyapplicable limitations orcheck items thatmaybe setforth bytheFAA in thegrantofthis Petition. It maybe further modified to become standardizedwiththe flight operations documents createdbyotherbusiness units associated withthis Petitioner,which are also expectedto beapplying for regulatoryreliefto commerciallyoperateUAS underSection 333. Pilot and visual observerwill reviewrespective responsibilities in advance offlight, assuringline-of-sightwiththe aircraftwill be maintained, and assuringthatvisual observation and flight control is maintained even as anyphotography /aerial data collection is conducted. Operatoris preparedto abortflight in the eventofany anomaly, and will keep the "auto-land" and "auto-return" features ofthe aircraft active, to safely assistwith anyloss ofcontrol link, batterypower shortfall, or other unanticipated issue. As far as flight safety, Petitionernotesthatit owns its studio building site ofroughly 20 acres, with substantial open space available for UAS flight trainingand proficiency. The site has an FAA-registered towerroughly450 feet tall, so the site has no lowflying aircraftnearby, and has no public access through it. The site may also be used as a safe location for UAS functional flight-testing after maintenance or modification. 8

# The terrain ofcentral and southern Kansas is relativelyflat, and thus produces no meaningful obstacles to flight. Petitioneris acutelyaware ofthe number ofairports in theWichita area, andwhile UAS flight at 200 feet orbelow above the surface, per the blanketCOA, is unlikelyto affect flight ofanymanned aircraft, Petitionerwill be sensitiveto airportand airspace considerations, includingboundaries ofClass Cand Class Dairspace, and provide notificationto FSDO orotherFAA/airportpersonnel where appropriate, and file for alternative COA, ifa planned flight requires such.
It should befurther noted that, as an FCC licensee, the ownership credentials and business operations ofthis Petitioner areregularlyreviewed in a licensing process ofthe Federal Communications Commission. Additionally, Petitioner's news operation is credentialed byvarious police agencies in theregion. Besides the fact thatthe UAS ofthe Petitioneris small, can carryonly a few pounds ofpayload, and has limited endurance and range, andthus itselfposes no crediblethreatto national security, thefact thatthe operatoris vettedbythe FCC and bylocal police agencies further assures thatthis operationposes no securitythreat. The public's safetyis additionally served in thatanytime a UAS replaces the use ofa conventional aircraftorrotorcraft,there is no riskto people on board, and because ofthe small size andweight ofthe UAS, and the fact itcarries no combustiblefuel, riskto people orpersons on the surface is virtuallyeliminated. Use ofa UAS, as comparedto conventional aircraft, reduces fuel use, andfurther saves time, and reduces emissions and noise. 

# Special Consideration Requests Certain ofthe Petitioner's intents ofuse ofUAS canbe accomplished withinthe 333 Exemption grantframework currentlyin place. However, Petitionerrespectfully requests thattwo ofthe conditions thatare nownormallyincluded in 333 Exemption grants bemodified, in orderto bettermeetthe public interest, and the Petitioner's obligationto providenews and information. 1) Itis requested thatthelimitation (commonlyitem 26 ofgrantletters) of flight notcloserthan 500 feet to non-participatingpersons,vessels, vehicles, and structures exceptin certainnarrowly defined circumstances,be modified to permit operations closerthanthat, perhapswithno specific statedlimit, particularly since the blanketCOA limits altitudeto 200 feet. Itis quite limiting, notablyin a news, weather, and informationpresentationrole (considerfor instance, tornado impact reporting, a common and critical subjectfor television stations in Kansas) for Petitionerto providethe expected public service and maintain 500 feet separation from persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures,particularlywith a 200-footCOA altitude imitation. Petitioner's UAS is equippedwith optional Prop Guards for further safetyto people. Petitionerwould atall times maintain particularattention to safetyin takeoffand landingto maintain distance from all non-participating persons, butflight ofa 3 poundUAS ratherthan a helicopterprovides infinitely less
9

# riskto persons and property.An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill beachieve without this limitation. 2) Itis requestedthatthelimitation (commonlyitem 27 in grantletters), specifyingflight over privatepropertyor controlled-access areaswith advance permission, notbeapplied to this grant. Helicopters and fixed wing aircraftare not subjectto advance permission requirements for flight overprivate property, nor are UAS flights for hobbyorrecreation. Such flight maybenecessaryto Petitioner's role in servingthe public interest; in fulfilling its FCC license mandate; maybe quite fleeting in nature; and poses virtuallyno riskto people orproperty, given the nature oftheUAS the operatoris flying, its technology-driven safetyprovisions, andthe care and attentionto safetythatPetitionerhas, andwill, applyto its flight operations. An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill bemaintained withoutthis limitation. Such adjustments maybe made to servethepublicinterest,to enhance Petitioner's flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness ofits UAS operations,will maintain an equivalentlevel ofsafety, and can bettermeetthe FAAAdministrator's stated commitment "to the safe and efficientintegration ofUAS into the NAS" ("Integration ofCivil Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the NationalAirspace System Roadmap"), and Congress's objective in Sec. 332 ofthe ReformActto attain "safe and routine operation ofcivil unmanned aircraft systems in the national airspace system." 

# Summaryand Publishingin the Federal Register Petitionerbelieves this Petition maybe considered underthe FAA's "summarygrant process" where, as permittedunderSection 333 ofthe Reform Act, the Secretaryof Transportation may determineifcertain low-riskUAS operations can be authorized, and can issue a summarygrantwhen itfinds ithas alreadygranted a previous exemption similartothe newrequest Petitionerbelieves thatthis Petition fits directlywithinthe aerial datacollection categoryofExemption requests, for which hundreds ofExemption grantshave been issuedto date. Given this, Petitioner believes thatgood cause exists for notpublishing a summaryofthe Petitionin the Federal Register becausetherequested exemptionwould notseta precedent, and any delayin acting on this Petitionwould be detrimentaltothe Petitioner. IfPublication in the Federal Register is deemed necessary, the following is provided. SummaryThatCan Be Published In The Federal Register: The Rules From Which Sunflower Broadcasting, Inc.

### 6 Preparing the Range Extender The Phantom 2Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight. it is suggested that you ensure the Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 Vision+ may occur. Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details ofwhich are printed on the label as 'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain

and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. (4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism,

including base stations or radio transmission towers. (5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. (6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. (5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. (B) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

### 1 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

# 0 •DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interterence, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials withyou during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.


### 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more details.

### 1.2 When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight. (3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

### 2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously.



### 2.2 Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Figure 49 Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 

### 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 

### 3 seconds.

[1] [2] Figure 

### 50 Figure 

### 51 

# 0 Do not execute 

## esc during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. 

# ;O; •Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. • Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock.


### 3 Flight Test 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the Phantom 2Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the OJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. (4) Warr until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow,

it is in Readyto Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowlyto take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to OJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. (7) To land, hover over a level surtace and gently pull down on the throttle gentlyto descend. (8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the

motors stop. (9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller. 

### 26 

## .. 

# ,Flight 

## ,& •When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. • A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. •View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.comlphantom2visionplus/training. • Aircraft and battery pertormance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level. as battery and aircraft pertormance may be reduced. 

### 3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips (1) Work through the check list before each flight. (2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. (3) Aim to shootwhen flying in Ready to Fly only. (4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. (5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. (6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

### 4 Failsafe Function The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage.

### ~ Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. •When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. • Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the GUI of the OJI VISION App). •After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blinkfast green. Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time Intervals. • Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2Assistant. • Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. • Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different from the takeoff point. 

### 4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? (1) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range.

;<:;: •To ensure the aircraft successful return to home after Failsafe activation, aim to onlyfly in Readyto Fly mode. • The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites detected for more than 20 seconds. • When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft's position and altitude if the remote controller signal is recovered. •Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set

return home altitude value in Phantom Assistant to avoid hitting vertical obstacles through OJI Phantom Assistant. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote Controller from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point. Rear LED flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful.

### 6 Flight Limits All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance limits and No Fly Zones. In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No FlyZones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

# EJ:I Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to complywith these rules before flying.


### 6.1 Max Height & 

### Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant (Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

### 6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji. com/fly-safe/category-me. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category Bareas includes smaller airports. 

### 30 ,t-,Flight CategoryASafety Zone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restricted-altitude zones". Flight

is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from

35 feet(10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km). (4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a

warning message will appear on the OJI Vision app. Category BSafety Zone (1) Category B "safety zone" is comprised of a "no-fly zone" and a "warning zone". (2) 0.6 miles (1 km) around the safety zone is a designated "no-fly zone". (3) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 0.6 miles (1Km) of this zone, awarning

will appear on the OJI Vision app.

### 3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? Appendix

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the 

## esc and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the

Phantom 2Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position.

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic 

### -> RC 

### -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cycle the Phantom 2Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair. 

### 3.2 How to restore avideo file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for the video file to be restored. 

### 3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

### 3.4 Whatto do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi·Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

### 3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2Vision+. 

### 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60video files.

### 3.9 Some Android devices have aproblem connecting to the Phantom 2Vision+ Wi·Fi Extender. Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both aWi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. When trying to connect to the Phantom 2Vision+**Wi~Fi** network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see awarning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored. 

### 3.1 oApp tips for mobile devices. Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

### 3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: Rrst pull the throttle stick posttion down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

### 3.12 Why is the discharge time of abattery not zero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okayto use. 

### 3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

### 3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station forfuture use. 

### 3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.
