6. Propellers hand tight 

Remote Controller Check 

1. Antennas oriented Properly 

2. Switch to P-GPS mode 

3. Landing gear switch oriented down 

4. Check battery level of RC for minimum 75% 

DJI Pilot App Check 

1. Maximum Flight altitude set 

• Note: 121 Meters = 400’ 

2. Failsafe Mode, Set for 10M Clearance above lowest obstacle in flight plan 

• Note: 1 Meter = 3.3’ 

3. RC Signal Lost set to Return-to-Home 

4. Check Sensors 

• Gyroscope between “-1.0 to +1.0” 

• Acceleration between “-1.0 to +1.0” 

•   Compass MOD between “1400 - 1599” 

• Check IMU 

5. Image Transmission Channel set 

• Note: Watch channels for 30 seconds to ensure selected channel is indeed 

stable
