# Aircraft This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

10 @ 2015 OJL All f"iig1'1ts Roserved.

# Aircraft
The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a newflight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and anew air braking feature.
Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning Systemfor positioning. P-ATil: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so onlyaltitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Horne Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, referto the IOC section in the Appendix.

:\;. Usethe Flight Controller mode switch to change theflight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information.
The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown inthe figure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status oftheflight controller. Referto the table belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Horne Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH. Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes thesethree scenarios in detail.

Home Point If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Horne Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (

**~.nil** 

### ). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhen the home point is recorded.
Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 

### 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill then automatically return to the last recorded Horne Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid acollision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to apointthat mayaffectthe safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraftwill automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after aten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds forthese warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distancefrom the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation duringthe landing process. The Battery Level Indicator Is displayed

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help ofVision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where aGPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.Using Vision Positioning Phantom3 Professional User Manual

[1] [2]

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

Followthe steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. 2. Placethe aircraft on aflat surface. Notethatthe Vision

**Pos~ioning** systern cannotwork properlyon surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green 

### two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraftwill hover in place. 

### &, The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able 

### to accurately measure distancas when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraftwill switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Rying overahighly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m{s at2meters or over4m{s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently ordrastically. • Flying overextremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thickcarpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Rying oversurfaceswith identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tileswiththe same design). • Rying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft. ©:201.5 lJJI, All R,qhk R0501VCd 15Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

# :lJ: •Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affectthe effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is onlyeffective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3tq 3meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux). 

### • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequencyof40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation. • Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below0.5 meters) atfast speeds..

You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create ashort film that can be shared immediately. How do Ichangethe control mode of my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be chahged to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users. Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a differentfrequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz. Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight BatteryWith greater power. The Phantom 3 has a4 cell batterywith a capacity of 4480 mAh and avoltage of 15.2 V. My Phantom 3does notturn off right away, is something wrong? This Is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or corrupted. Do 1 haveto buythe Remote Controller separately? No, there is no need to buy aseparate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linked to the aircraft. Does my Phantom 3support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same time. What does the "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controller do? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle differentflight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, Indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3will attempt to stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as asufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (JOG) functionality. Refer to the IOC section in the Appendix of the User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes.

Hover the aircraft over aflat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground. Why is the dischargetime ofthe battery not zero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason thatthe discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use. Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2series Remote Controller? No. it cannot. Howto safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the DJI GO app will display one ofthe following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message Indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message Indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation ofthe aircraft in the midairto mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch backto P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment Is completed. Howto troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? If you observe thefollowing symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". • No resistance drive iffelt on the gimbal.
@ 2015 OJI All Rights Rese1ved 51Phantom 3 Professional User Manual Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at ail time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it Indicates the sensor is notworking normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5seconds to resolve the Issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft Initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.
