## CAMERON DAVIDSON LLC PETITION FOR SECTION 333 EXEMPTION

Cameron Davidson LLC

Overview

Cameron Davidson LLC (hereinafter “Cameron Davidson”) is an Alexandria, Virginia, based

company specializing in aerial photography

, videography and 3D mapping and modeling services

for corporate, advertisement , NGO, and magazine clients within the United States of America.

Such images are used for annual reports, presentations, advertising, magazine stories, social media,

and fundraising and promotional material. Cameron Davidson is an internationally recognize d

photography firm, having received numerous awards and achievements within the photography

field. Cameron Davidson requests Section 333 exemption for the commercial use the DJI Inspire

1 to supplement Cameron Davidson’s use of photographic tools. As such, Cameron Davidson

would use this sUAS model to fulfil these services on a small scale, site specific basis.

As detailed below, Cameron Davidson will only allow commercial sUAS operations of the DJI

Inspire 1 by certificated airmen, holding at the bare mi nimum a sport pilot certificate. Currently,

Cameron Davidson is owned by Mr. Bruce Cameron Davidson, a privately rated pilot for single

engine, land, airplanes. Mr. Davidson possess over 140 hours of flight time. Consequently, Mr.

Davidson understands safe flight operations and will apply that knowledge during all commercial

sUAS operations.

Based upon Cameron Davidson’s intended use and proposed flight operations and conditions

limitations, Cameron Davidson would like an exemption from the following Federal Aviation

Regulations (F.A.R.s) to commercially operate DJI Inspire 1: 14 CFR §§ 61.23( a) and (c); 14

C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5) ; 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a); 1 4 C.F.R. §61.315(a) ; 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a);

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c) ; 14 C.F.R. §91.121; 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1) ; 14 C.F.R. §91.405(a); 14

.

sUAS Model and Specifications

Cameron Davidson’s requested exemption from the above specified F.A.R.s would allow for the

commercial operation of a DJI Inspire 1 for operations p ertaining to aerial photography,

videography and 3D mapping and modeling services within the United State s of America. This

sUAS make and model is either similar to

, or the same as

, sUAS model s for which the FAA has

already granted Section 333 exemption . For example, please see Exemption Numbers 11062 (see

Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 (see Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0507), 11112 (see Docket No.

FAA−2014−0382), 11213 (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), and 12134 (see Docket No. FAA

–

2015

– 1630)

.

The DJI Inspire 1 is a quad

- copter sUAS model, capabl e of providing hover flight in both the

vertical and horizontal planes. As such, this sUAS model provide s excellent maneuverability and

ease of control for the PIC. The ease wit h which a PIC can control this sUAS model is evidenced

by the fact that this sUAS model is commercially available for RC hobbyists, requiring little to no

training or experience prior to flight.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Cameron Davidson LLC

Page 7 of 16 

## The DJI Inspire 1 additionally provide s excellent situational awareness for the PIC. This sUAS

model allow s the PIC to determine the exa ct altitude of the sUAS via GPS technology and

monitoring. In addition, this sUAS model provide s the PIC with the ability to monitor the available

remaining battery life, allowing the PIC to make informed, safe decisions regarding the duration

and continua tion of a particular flight.

Cameron Davidson’s primary objective with each commercial flight is the safe return of the sUAS

without injury to property or person. The DJI Inspire 1 incorporate s unique operating modes that

provide for the safe return of th e sUAS should the PIC experience a loss of signal connectivity

between the sUAS model’s transmitter and receiver. The DJI Inspire 1 incorporates three safe

modes in such a situation: Failsafe, Return to Home, and Dynamic Home Point. This model will

guide t he sUAS back to a predetermined, safe landing zone should the model experience issues.

Please see the User Manuals for DJI Inspire 1 for more information regarding these safe modes.

Given the nature of this particular sUAS model

, Cameron Davidson’s reque sted exemption from

various F.A.R.s will neither adversely affect the public’s safety nor create a hazard to users of the

National Airspace System (NAS) or pose a threat to national security. Moreover, Cameron

Davidson’s use of this sUAS model for aerial p hotography, videography

, and 3D mapping and

modeling will replace the need for fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with regards to these services.

By replacing fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with sUAS models, the public will benefit in

several ways. For example, the use of this sUAS model provides significant reductions in the risk

of injury to property or person should the sUAS require an emergency landing. The DJI Inspire 1

is lightweight, powered by batteries, and carry no passengers. By compariso n, fixed winged or

rotorcraft aircraft, which weigh thousands of pounds, carry flammable fuels, and passengers, have

been known to cause serious injury or death to passengers and bystanders during emergency

landin gs. The use of this particular sU AS model f or aerial photography, videography , and 3D

mapping and modeling services will substantially benefit the public from a safety standpoint.

nonparticipating persons; and

b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted

permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a

safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and

determined that it does not present an un due hazard.

24. Cameron Davidson will operate all sUAS flights over private or controlled

- access

property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized

representative. Cameron Davidson will obtain permission from the property

owner/control ler or authorized representative prior to each flight to be conducted.

PRIVACY

Cameron Davidson’s use of the above referenced sUAS model for aerial photography and aerial

videography services will not implicate any privacy concerns. Since Cameron Davidson will only

operate the sUAS model at the request of the property and/or business owner(s), Cameron

Davidson will have the express consent and permission of the property and/or business owner(s)

prior to flying over private property. The use of thes e sUA S model for aerial photography, aerial

videography , and 3D mapping and modeling services poses no greater privacy concerns than the

use of traditional fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft for similar activities. Images taken will be of

individuals who have consented to being filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where

aerial imagery will take place

PUBLIC INTEREST AND SAFETY

Unlike traditional fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft, the use of the above referenced sU AS model

for aerial photog raphy, videography and 3D mapping and modeling services promotes public

interest and safety. Whereas traditional fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft are large, heavy, noisy,

require manned operators (placing the pilot’s life in jeopardy should there be an em ergency) and

are flammable, this sUAS model is small, light, quite, unmanned (i.e. not risking human life for

the purpose of operation), and do es not require flammable fuel as a means of propulsion.

The use of Cameron Davidson’s sUAS model also benefits the public fro m a safety perspective

since this sUAS model do es not run on fossil fuels. Since Cameron Davidson’s sUAS model is

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Cameron Davidson LLC

## ba ttery powered, the use of this sUAS model over the traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft

will be more e nvironmentally and ecologically friendly. In addition, given the light weight of this

sUAS mode l , should an emergency result in a forced landing, injury to property or persons would

be negligible compared to the catastrophic injury to property or persons t hat would result in an

emergency landing of a traditional fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft.

Apart from the added safety benefits of sUAS flight operations, the use of sUAS for aerial

photography, videography, and 3D mapping and modeling services creates new economic

opportunities that could fuel the continued growth of aviation and aviation related interests.

Consequently, the public will ben efit from the use of sUAS model for commercial purposes as

companies like Cameron Davidson will provide new jobs and economic opportunities, fueling

innovation and creativity.

REGULATIONS FROM WHICH EXEMPTION IS REQUESTED

14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c): Medical Certificates Requirement and Duration

Cameron Davidson requests exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c) which provides for

certain flight operations requiring medical certificates. Cameron Davidson’s petition for

exemption provides an equivalent level of safety in that Cameron Davidson would require a sUAS

PIC to hold either a current medical certificat e, of any class, or a valid U.S. Driver’s License.

Cameron Davidson’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety as provided in

14 C.F.R. §§61.23(a) and (c).

14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5): Recreational Pilot Privileges and Limitati ons ; 14 C.F.R. §

61.113(a): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command ; and 14 C.F.R.

§61.315(a): What Are The Privileges and Limits of My Sport Pilot Certificate?

Cameron Davidson requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5) which prohibits

recreational pilots from receiving compensation for hire or providing flight services in furtherance

of a business, respectively. In addition, Cameron Davidson requests exemption from 14 C.F.R.

§61.113(a), which prohibits a certificated pri vate pilot from receiving compensation or flying for

hire when acting as PIC, and from 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a), which provides the holder of a sport pilot

certificate may only act as pilot in command of a light

- sport aircraft.

Cameron Davidson’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety in that Cameron

Davidson requires the PIC of a sUAS model, at the bare minimum, to hold the privileges of a sport

pilot certificate under 14 C.F.R. §61 Subpart J, hold either a medical certificate or valid U.S.

Driver’s License, and to demonstrate proficiency in the PIC’s ability to safely operate th e sUAS

model in a manner consistent with how the sUAS model will be operated under this petition for

exemption.

Distinct comparisons between the commercial acti vities of Cameron Davidson and other

business es operating traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft expose the unnecessary limitations

placed upon sport, recreational and private certificated pilots when considering PIC privileges of

commercial sUAS flight operations. Whereas requiring pilots of tr aditional fixed wing and

rotorcraft aircraft to hold commercial and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) ratings ensures that the

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Cameron Davidson LLC

Page 14 of 16 

## pilots possess the necessary skills, training and experience to safely transport persons and/or cargo

from the point of departure to the intended point of destination, the same correlation for sUAS

pilots does not apply to the flight operations of Cameron Davidson

.

In the case of Cameron Davidson’s sUAS flight operations, no persons or cargo will be carried by

the sUAS during Cameron Davidson’s aerial photography and aerial videography. Unlike

traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft, which must traverse over a greater distance, greater

amount of property, and a greater amount of people in order to get from the point of departure to

the intended point of destination, Cameron Davidson’s sUAS will only fly over property

authorized by Cameron Davidson’s clients. In other words, the sUAS’s flight will not have to

originate from a different location and traverse over the properties of d isinterested parties in order

to fulfill the purpose Cameron Davidson’s flight operations. As such, the risk of injury to

disinterested parties is substantially decreased by the use of a sUAS for aerial photography,

videography , and 3D mapping and modeling

.

Consequently, Cameron Davidson’s requirement that the sUAS PIC hold, at least, a sport pilot

certificate provides an equivalent level of safety to the requirement that a commercial or ATP rated

pilot transport persons and/or cargo for hire in manned ai rcraft.

14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness

Cameron Davidson requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a) which prohibits the operation

of civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate

issued for Cameron Davidson’s sUAS model

, no standard will exist for determining airworthiness.

In any event, Cameron Davidson’s proposed Flight Conditions and Operating Procedure will

ensure and equivalent le vel of safety with 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a).

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitude: General

Cameron Davidson requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R §91.119(c) which provides that except

when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below an altitude of 500

feet above the surface. Furthermore, this section provides that an aircraft may not be operated

closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Cameron Davidson’s petiti on

requests that the sUAS model be flown at an altitude no higher than 400 feet AGL and, when

complying with the conditions set forth in § 23(b) of Came ron Davidson’s Flight Conditions and

Operating Procedures, at distances closer than 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or

structure.

The requirement that Cameron Davidson’s sUAS model maintain 400 feet or less AGL helps

ensure that signal connect ivity between the transmitter and receiver will not be lost. In addition,

this height restriction ensures that the PIC will be able to maintain VLOS while simultaneously

limiting the possibility of the sUAS models’ interference with other NAS traffic. Last ly, this

limitation ensures at least 100 feet of vertical separation of sUAS aircraft and manned aircraft.

Traditional principles requiring a 500 foot AGL minimum for fixed

- wing or rotorcraft aircraft

stemmed from a desire to protect the public should the need for a forced landing arise due to an

unforeseen emergency situation or loss of power. These same concerns are not present with

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Cameron Davidson LLC

Page 15 of 16 

## Cameron Davidson’s sUAS model which is lightweight and small. Any injury to property or

person would be negligible when com pared to the catastrophic damage that a fixed wing or

rotorcraft aircraft would inflict due to a forced landing. Consequently, Cameron Davidson’s

Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equivalent level of safety when compared to

14 C.F.R §91.11 9(c).

14 C.F.R. §91.121: Altimeter Settings

Cameron Davidson requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.121 which provides guidelines for the

use of altimeter settings while operating an aircraft. Cameron Davidson’s petition for exemption

provides an equivale nt level of safety such that the sUAS model’s PIC will be able to determine

the AGL height of the sUAS due to GPS technology. The AGL height of the sUAS will be

displayed for the PIC during all flight operations. As such, the PIC will be able to maintain t he

requirement that the sUAS be no more than 400 feet AGL during all flight operations.

14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1): Fuel Requirements For Flight In VFR Conditions

Cameron Davidson requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1) which provides that no

perso n may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions with less than 30 minutes of reserve

fuel. Cameron Davidson’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety due to

Cameron Davidson’s prohibition against the PIC from beginning a flig ht unless (considering wind

and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the sUAS to conduct the

intended operation and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power

recommended by the manufacturer if greate r.

Given the design a nd technology of the sUAS model that Cameron Davidson intends to operate,

Cameron Davidson’s PIC will have access to all relevant information concerning the sUAS’s

battery life. The PIC will be able to make an accurate determination as to whether the PIC can

comply with Cameron Davidson’s “fuel” requirements for each flight. Consequently, Cameron

Davidson’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equivalent level of safety

when compared to 14 C.F.R §91.151(a)(1).

14 C.F.R. §91.405(a): Maintenance Required ; 14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1): Operation After

Maintenance, Preventative Mainte nance, Rebuilding, Or Alteration ; 14 C.F.R. §§

91.409(a)(1) and (2): Inspections ; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance Records

Cameron Davidson requests exemption from the following F.A.Rs: 14 C.F.R. §91.405(a) which

provides the owner or operator of aircraft shall have the aircraft inspected pursuant to Subpart E

of 14 C.F.R; 14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1) which provides that no person may operate any aircraft

having undergone preventive maintenance unless approved for return to service by a person

authoriz ed under §43.7; 14 C.F.R. §§91.409(a)(1) and (2) which provides that no person may

operate an aircraft within the preceding 12 calendar months unless an annual inspection has been

performed; and 14 C.F.R. §§91.417(a) and (b) which provides for the recordin g of an aircraft’s

maintenance if the aircraft holds an airworthiness certificate.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

## Cameron Davidson’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety since Cameron

Davidson require s compliance with the sUAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement,

inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. Due to the nature

of a sUAS, compliance with certain maintenance requirements under Subpart E of 14 C.F.R. are

either impossible or cost prohibitive to implement when applied to a sUAS. As such, Cameron

Davidson should be exempt from these regulations.

# Aircraft

Flight Controller

The I nspire 1 's f l ight con t r oller is based on OJI flight contr o l l er with several enhancements such as new

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are ava i l a b l e: F a i l safe, Return Home and Dynamic

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is l ost. A flight

recorder stores cruci a l flight data for each flight.



## Flight Mode

Three flight modes are ava i l able. The deta i l s of each flight mode are found in the section belo w :

P mode ( P o s i t i o nin g ) : P mode works best when GPS sign a l is s t rong. There are three different states of P

mode, which will be automatically s e l ected by the Inspire 1 depending on G P S signal strength and Vision

Positioning sensor s :

P

- GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P

- OPTI: Vision Positioning i s ava i l able but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using o n l y Vision

Positioning f o r hovering

P

- ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning ava i l able, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so o n l y a l titude is contr o l l ed.

A mode (Atti t u de ) : The G PS and Vision Positioning System is not used for h o l ding position. The a i rcratt

o n l y uses i ts b a r omet e r to m a i ntain a l t itude. I f it is st i ll r eceiving a G P S s i gn a l

### Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJIIntelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that

may affect the 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.

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the 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.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below

### Low Temperature Notice:

1. The performance of the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when flying in a low

temperature environments (those with air temperatures below S°C). Ensure that the battery is fully

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.43 V before each flight.

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature environments (those with air

temperatures below

- 1 0°C) is not recommended. When flying in environments with temperatures

between 

# soc and

- 10°C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriate voltage

levels (above 4.2 V), but it is recommended that you apply the included insulation sticker to the battery

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures.

3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warning" when flying in low temperature

environments, stop flying and land the aircraft immediately. You will still be able to control the aircraft's

movement when this warning is triggered

.

4. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature

exceeds 

# soc before using it in the low temperature environment.

5. When using the Inspire 1 in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a

low altitude, for approximately one minute, to heat the battery.

6. To ensure optimum performance. keep the Intelligent Flight Battery's core temperature above 20°C

when in use.



# 6 In cold environments, insert the battery into the battery compartment and allow the aircraft to

warm up for approximately 1

- 2 minutes before taking off.



### Checking the battery level

The Battery Level Indicators display how much remaining power the battery has. When the battery is

powered off, press the Power Button once. The Battery Level Indicators will light up to display the current

battery level. See below for details.

# c;Lb Fmode

A mode

Pmode

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 Inspire 1 depending 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 or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so only altitude is controlled.

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app,

enter the "Camera· page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode"

- Fly Zones

All No

- Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no

- fly. No

- Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. 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 of the No

- Fly Zones are explained below:

Airport:

(1) Airport No

- Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted

- Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various 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 of which take

- off and flight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640

feet (500 meters) at R 1 + 1 mile.

(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.INSPIRE 1 User Manu a l

### Individual Parts

Remote Controller

1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller.

Refer to the user manual for more information about how to link the aircraft.

2. If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10

minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert.

3

. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft’s flight. You may

change it to a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link it to the aircraft to control flight.

4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does not slip.

5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate,

ensure the DJI logo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller away from any metal objects.

6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly

decrease performance.

7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft’s Intelligent Flight Battery.

Camera

1. Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off.

2. Be sure to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved

and any recorded videos may be damaged.

3. Test the camera by shooting a few test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important

pictures.

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy laws, regulations

and moral standards.

5. Check camera settings before use to make sure you can adjust th em to fit your needs.

Gimbal

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal

connector, as any damage will cause it to function abnormally.

2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct

the gimbal’s full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision.

Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protect the gimbal after powering up.

3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it d oes not drop.

4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

5. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact, which will cause the gimbal

to function abnormally.

Compass

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight

performance or even failure.

2

. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This includes areas

where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges.

3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones.

4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces.

5. If the rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate.

6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the

ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to another

location and try again.

Parameter Settings

The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is

good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter

settings.

Battery

Refer to the Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines and battery sticker for usage and maintenance information.

Storage and Transportation

1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight,

to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended stor age temperature: between

22°C and 28°C for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the

temperature range of -20°C to 45°C.

2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If it

gets wet, wipe dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause

p ermanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other

flammable substances to clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dusty areas.

3. Always keep all parts out of the reach of children, as the cables, straps or small parts may be dangerous

if swallowed. If swallowed, go to the hospital immediately.

4

. D etach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over long

distances. Also replace the Gimbal Cover when storing.

Maintenance and Upkeep

1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, please

contact a DJI authorized dealer.

2. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used.

3. Regularly check the Battery Level Indicators to see the current battery level and overall battery life. When

the battery life reaches 0%, it can no longer be used.

4. After every 50 hours of flight time, DJI recommends you perform a thorough inspection of your Inspire 1

and all of its parts and components to ensure the safe operation of your aircraft.
