# Aircraft This section introduces the fea tures of the Fli ght Controller . Vision Pos i t i oning System. and the Intell i gent Fl i ght Battery

# A irc raft F light Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades. including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home . These features ensure 

### the safe return of your aircraft if the contro l s i gnal i s lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each fligh t to the on-board storage device. The new fl ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air b raking feat u re. 

## Flight M ode 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 Phan tom 3 Professi onal depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Posit ionin g sensors : P

-G PS : GPS and Vision Position i ng both are available . The aircraft is using GPS for position i ng . P-OPTI : Vision Position i ng is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using only the V ision Positioning System for positioning . P-A Til : Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The**a~rcraft** is using only its barometer for positioning, so onty altitude 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 contro l signal Is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfu lly. F-mode (Function) ; Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about I OC. refer to the IOC section in th e Appendix. 

## ;i(J: Use the Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ol the aircraft. refer to the "F light Mode Switch" on Pag e 26 fo r more information . 

## Fli ght Status In dicato r The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LE Os and Aircraft Status Indicators. The posi t ions of these LEOs are shown in the figu re below:**""era~** S tatu· . l nd•cal ''

The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft . The Front LEOs g low solid

ow Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a po1nt that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to retum home or land the aircraft Immediately when prompted . The DJI Pilot app will display a notice when a low battery warning Is triggered. The aircraft will automatically retu rn to the Home Point if no action is taken alter a ten-second countdown . The user can cance l the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on th e aircraft's curren t altitude and distance from the Home Point. The ai rc raft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the a ircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude . The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft' s orientation du rin g the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is d isp layed in the OJI Pilot app, and is described below:
