# Aircraft

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight.

Three flight modesare available. The details of eachflight modeare found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : Pmodeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, whichwill beautomatically selected bythe Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATII: Neither GPS orVision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, soonlyaltitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer tothe IOC in Appendix.



## :CJ: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight modeofthe aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affectthe safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraftwill land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraft to land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process.

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of 

### OJIVision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1 ]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.



### 16 © 2015 DJI. All Rights i'leservM.

### INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Togglethe switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork properlyon surfaceswithout pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to liftoff, and the Inspire 1will hover in place. 

# & The·performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonicwaves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are notavailable. So operatethe aircraft cautiouslywhen in anyofthe following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over8m/s at 2 meters or over4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwateror transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfacesor objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changesfrequently or drastically. • Flying over extremelydark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000)surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces that can absorb soundwaves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaceswithout clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaceswith identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfacesthatwill deflectsound waves away from the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

## :ej: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may not function properlywhen the aircraft is flying overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of 40 KHzwhen 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) in fast speed. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is onlyaudibleto some animals.

Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly, © 2015 OJI. All Rights Resel\led.

# Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location.

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 1 Om/s , snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radiotransmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannotoperatewithin the polar areas in "P" mode.

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA 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 limitsfunction includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A modeonly height limitswork and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables belowshowthe details ofthese limits.

Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. The details ofthe No-Fly Zones are explained below: Airport: (1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised ofTakeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles ofvarious size. (2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff Restricted Zone, inside ofwhich take-off and flight is prevented. (3) From R1 to R1

### +1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15degree incline, starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airportand radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1

### +1mile. (4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear in the OJI Pilot app.
