# Aircraft This chapter describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1 Pro'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 data for each flight.



## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of Pmode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 Pro 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 barometerfor 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 barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving aGPS 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, referto the IOC in Appendix.



# lJ: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P29 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The Inspire 1 Pro comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions ofthese LEDs are shown in the figure below:

## Vision Positioning System 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 Pro can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1 Pro, including [1 ]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 Pro 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 

### i Pro can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

### INSPIRE 1PRO 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 Pro on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 Pro will hover in place. 

# & The performance ofyour Inspire 1 Pro's Vision Positioning System is subjectto the surface you are flying over.The ultrasonic waves 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 not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the 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 (over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water or transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux 

### < 1 O) or bright (lux 

### > 1 0,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g.tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound 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. 

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

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 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 (below 0.5 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 only audible to some animals.

# Flight This chapter describes the flight safety and flight restrictions.

# 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.



## Flight Environment Requirements 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 of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission 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 1 Pro cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode.



## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 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 limits function 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 mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

### Max Height & 

### Radius Limits Max Height 

### & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 Pro will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings.The tables below show the details of these limits.

# & ·Ifyou fly out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1 Pro, but cannotfly it further. • If the Inspire 1 Pro flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back

within range automatically. No-FlyZones 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 ofTakeoff 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 R1 

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