## SEVENTY 7 PRODUCTION’S PETITIO N FOR SECTION 333 EXEMPTION
Seventy 7 Productions Overview
Seventy 7 Productions (hereinafte r “SSP”) is a Royal Oak, Michi gan, based company specializing in aerial imagery, photography, videography, and cinematography . SSP provides services to various companies requiring tele vision commercial, music video, online content, and film production. SSP’s client roster ranges from Fortune 500 compani es, to celebrity performers, and local businesses.
As detailed below, SSP will only allow commercial sUAS operatio ns of the DJI Inspire 1 by certificated airmen, holding at the bare minimum a sport pilot certificate. Currently, Mr. Marc Ruiz, owner of Seventy 7 Productions, employs Ms. Nora Urbanski , Director and Producer for SSP. Ms. Urbanski is a student pilot and plans to have her Priv ate Pilot, Single Engine, Land certificate by the end of December 2015. While Ms. Urbanski wil l not commercially operate an exempted sUAS until she meets the requisite limitations to act as PIC of the commercial sUAS, Ms. Urbanski is well on her way to obtaining the necessary airm en certification so she can commercially operate a sUAS on behalf of SSP. Consequently, Ms. Urbanski, on behalf of SSP, understands safe flight operations and will apply that knowledg e during all commercial sUAS operations.
Based upon SSP’s intended use and proposed flight operations an d conditions limitations, SSP would like an exemption from the following Federal Aviation Reg ulations (F.A.R.s) to commercially operate the 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); 14 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 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b)

. Seventy 7 Production’s sUAS Model
SSP’s requested exemption from the above specified F.A.R.s will allow for SSP’s use of the DJI Inspire 1 for commercial operatio ns pertaining to aerial imager y, photography, videography, and cinematography within the United States of America. This sUAS m odel is either sim ilar to, or the same as, sUAS model that the FAA has already granted exemption for similar commercial flight operations in Exemption Numbers, 11693, 11109, and 11213.
The DJI Inspire 1 is a quad-copter sUAS model capable of provid ing hover flight in both the vertical and horizontal planes. As such, this sUAS model provid es excellent maneuverability and ease of control for the PIC. The ease with which a PIC can cont rol this sUAS model is evidenced by the fact that the sUAS model is commercially available for R C hobbyists, requiring no training or experience prior to flight.
Furthermore, the DJI Inspire 1 a dditionally provi des excellent situational awareness for the PIC. The sUAS model allows the PIC t o determine the exact altitude o f the sUAS via GPS technology

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 7 of 15 

## and monitoring. In addition, this sUAS model provides the PIC w ith the ability to monitor the available remaining battery life, allowing the PIC to make info rmed, safe decisions regarding the duration and continuation of a particular flight.
SSP’s primary objective with each c ommercial flight is the safe return of the sUAS without injury to property or person. The DJI In spire 1 incorpor ates unique op erating modes that provide for the safe return of the sUAS should the PIC experience a loss of sig nal connectivity between the sUAS model’s transmitter and receiver. The DJI Inspire 1 incorporate s three safe modes in such a situation: Failsafe, Return to Home, and Dynamic Home Point. As such, the DJI Inspire 1 will guide the sUAS back to a predetermined, safe landing zone shoul d the sUAS experience issues. Please see the User Manuals for both the DJI Inspire 1 for more information regarding these safe modes.
Given the nature of this particular sUAS, SSP’s requested exemp tion from various F.A.R.s will neither adversely affect the pub lic’s safety nor create a hazar d to users of the National Airspace System (NAS) or pose a threat to national security. Moreover, S SP’s use of this sUAS model for the above described commercial op erations will replace the need for fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with regards to these services.
By replacing fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with sUAS mode ls, 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 emer gency landing. The DJI Inspire 1 is lightweight, powered by batteries, and carries no passengers . By comparison, fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft, which wei gh thousands of pounds, carry fla mmable fuels, and passengers, have been known to cause serious injury or death to passengers and b ystanders during emergency landings. The use of this particular sUAS model for aerial imag ery, photography, and videography will substantially benefit the public from a safety standpoint.
Below are the specifications for the DJI Inspire 1 model.

Proposed Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures
SSP’s primary objective with every flight is the safe return of the above specified sUAS model without injury to property or per son. In order to obtain this d esired objective, SSP will abide by the following flight and atmospheric conditions limitations whe n performing commercial flight operations with the DJI Inspire 1:

1. SSP will not operate the sUAS model when weighing more than 55 pounds, including payload.

2. SSP will not operate the sUAS model at a speed exceeding 87 kno ts (100 miles per hour). SSP will use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed t o determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction.

3. SSP will not operate the sUAS model at an altitude of more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). SSP will monitor altitude in feet AGL via G PS technology and monitoring.

4. SSP will only operate the sUAS model within VLOS of the PIC at all times. SSP will require the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA-issued ai rman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license.

5. SSP requires the utilization of a visual observer (VO) on all c ommercial sUAS flights. The sUAS model will be operated within VLOS of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as lo ng as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. SSP requires that the VO and PIC be able to communicate verbally at all times. SSP does not permit electron ic messaging or texting during flight operations. SSP requires the sUAS PIC to be designated before the flight and does not allow transfer of his or her designatio n during the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO ca n perform the duties required of the VO.

6. SSP requires that all operating documents (defined as the grant ed exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS model and conduct its o perations in accordance with all grants conditions and limitations) must be accessible during sUAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon re asonable request.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 10 of 15 

## 7. SSP will require a functional test should any sUAS model underg o maintenance or alterations that affect the sUAS model’s operation or flight ch aracteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a func tional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. SS P requires that all function flights be conducted by a PIC with a VO and remain at least 500 feet from other people. SSP further requir es that the functional test fli ght be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property.

8. SSP will be responsible for maintaining and inspecting the sUAS model to ensure that the sUAS model is in a c ondition for safe operation.

9. SSP requires that, prior to each flight, the PIC conduct a pre- flight inspection and determine whether the sUAS model is in a condition for safe fli ght. SSP requires that the pre-flight inspection must account for all potential d iscrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. Should the inspecti on reveal a condition that affects the safe operation of the sUAS model, SS P prohibits the aircraft from operating until the necessary maintenance has bee n performed and the sUAS is found to be in a c ondition for safe flight.

10. SSP requires compliance with the component manufacturer’s maint enance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the components that combine to assemble the sUAS model.

11. SSP requires compliance with all sUAS model manufacture’s safet y bulletins for the sUAS model.

12. SSP requires all sUAS PICs to hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. Further, SSP requires the PIC to also hold a current FAA airman medical certi ficate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a po ssession, or the Federal Government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requiremen ts specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

13. SSP prohibits any PIC t o operate the sUAS m odel unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the s UAS model in a manner consistent with how the sUAS will be operated under this petition for exemption, including e vasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. To th at end, SSP requires the PIC’s qu alification flight hours and currency to be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b).

14. SSP prohibits flight operations of the sUAS model during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All flight operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). SSP will not allow the sUAS model to be flown during special visual flight rules (SVFR).

15. SSP will not operate the sUAS model within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Dire ctory (AFD) or for

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 11 of 15 

## airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport sym bol as denoted on the current FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter o f agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a CO A issued to the exemption holder. SSP will make the letter of agreement with th e airport management available to the Administrator or any law enforcemen t official upon request.

16. SSP will operate the sUAS model at least 500 feet below and/or no more than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud. SSP will not operate the sUAS m odel when visibility is less than 3 statute miles.

17. SSP requires the sUAS model to return to a pre-determined locat ion within the private or controlled-access property should the sUAS model los e communications or lose its GPS signal.

18. SSP requires the PIC of any sUAS model to abort the flight in t he event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

19. SSP prohibits the PIC of any sUAS model from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is eno ugh available power for the sUAS model to conduct the intended operation and to ope rate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

20. SSP requires that all documents used to ensure safe operation a nd flight of the sUAS model and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 to be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the sUAS model any time the aircraft are operating. SSP will make these documents available to the Administrator or any law enfor cement official upon reasonable r equest.

21. SSP requires that during all fli ghts, the sUAS model PIC remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.

22. SSP prohibits the PIC of any sUAS model from operating the sUAS model from any moving device or vehicle.

23. SSP requires all flight operations of all sUAS models to be con ducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating pe rsons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect no nparticipating persons from the sUAS and/or debris in the event of an accident . SSP will ensure that nonparticipating pers ons remain under such protecti on. If a situation arises where nonpartic ipating persons leave such prot ection and are within 500 feet of the sUAS, SSP requires flight operations to cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 12 of 15 

## b. The owner/controller of any vesse ls, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC ha s made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those obje cts and determined that it does not present an undue hazard.

24. SSP will operate all sUAS flights over private or controlled-ac cess property with permission from the property owne r/controller or authorized rep resentative. SSP will obtain permission from the property owner/controller or au thorized representative prior to e ach flight to be conducted.

PRIVACY
SSP’s use of the DJI Inspire 1 for aerial imagery, photography, videography, and cinematography will not implicate any privacy concerns. Since SSP will only co mmercially operate the sUAS model at the request of the prope rty and/or business owner(s), SSP will have the express consent and permission of the property and/or business owner(s) prior t o flying over private property. SSP’s use of the DJI Inspire 1 poses no greater privacy concern s than the use of traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft for similar commercial operations. Should SSP’s commercial sUAS activity require aerial based photographic and video imagery, i mages taken will be of individuals who have consented to being photographed/filmed or otherwise ha ve agreed to be in the area where aerial photographic or video imagery will take place.

PUBLIC INTEREST AND SAFETY
Unlike traditional fixed wing or r otorcraft aircraft, the use o f the DJI Inspire 1 for aerial imagery, photography, videography, and cine matography promotes public in terest and safety. Whereas traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft are large, heavy, noisy, require flammable fuels and manned operators (placing the pilot’s life in jeopardy should t here be an emergency), this sUAS model is small, light, quite, and do not require flammable fuel s or a manned operator (i.e. not risking human life for the purpose of operation).
The use of SSP’s DJI Inspire 1 also benefits the public from a safety perspective since this sUAS model does not run on fossil fuels. Since this sUAS model is ba ttery powered, its use over the traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft will be more envi ronmentally and ecologically friendly. In addition to the non-use of flammable fuels, given the extrem e lightness of this sUAS model, should an emergency result in a f orced landing, injury to prope rty or persons would be negligible compared to the catastrophic inju ry to property or persons that would result in an emergency landing of a traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft.
Apart from the added safety benefits of sUAS flight operations, the use of the DJI Inspire 1 for the above noted aerial based appli cations creates new economic oppo rtunities that could fuel the continued growth of aviation and aviation related interests. Co nsequently, the public will benefit from the use of this sUAS model for commercial purposes as comp anies like SSP will provide new jobs and economic opportuniti es, fueling innovation and creativ ity.

SSP’s petition for e xemption provides an equivalent level of safety in that SSP would require a DJI Inspire 1 PIC t o hold either a current medical certificate, of any class, or a valid U.S. Driver’s License. SS P’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safet y as provided in 14 C.F.R. §§61.23( a) and (c).
14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5): Recreational Pilot Privilege s and Limitations; 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a): Private Pilot Privileg es and Limitations: Pilot in C ommand; and 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a): What Are The Privileges and Limits of My Sport Pilo t Certificate?
SSP requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5) w hich prohibits recreational pilots from receiving compensation for hire or providing flight servic es in furtherance of a business, respectively. In addition, SSP requests exemption from 14 C.F.R . §61.113(a), which prohibits a certificated private pilot from receiving compensation or flyin g 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.
SSP’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of sa fety in that SSP requires the DJI Inspire 1 PIC, 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 vali d U.S. Driver’s License, and to demonstrate proficiency in the P IC’s ability to safely operate the sUAS model in a manner consistent with how the sUAS will be operated under this petiti on for exemption.
Distinct comparisons between the commercial activities of SSP a nd other businesses operating traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft expose the unnece ssary limitations placed upon sport, recreational and private certificated pilots when considering P IC privileges of commercial sUAS flight operations. Whereas requiring pilots of traditional fixe d wing and rotorcraft aircraft to hold commercial and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) ratings ensures th at the 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 and should not apply to the sUAS flight operations of SSP.
In the case of SSP’s sUAS flight operations, no p ersons or thir d-party cargo will be carried by the sUAS model during SSP’s aerial based commercial operations. Unl ike traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft, which must traverse over a greater distanc e, greater amount of property, and a greater amount of people in order to get from the point of depa rture to the intended point of destination, SSP’s sUAS will only fly over property authorized by SSP’s clients. In other words, the sUAS model will not have to originate flight from a differe nt location and traverse over the properties of disinterested parties in order to fulfill the pur pose of SSP’s commercial flight operations. As such, the risk of injury to disinterested partie s is substantially d ecreased by the use of a sUAS for aerial based comme rcial applications described wi thin this petition.
Consequently, SSP’s requirement that the sUAS PIC hold, at leas t, a sport pilot certificate provides an equivalent level of safety to the requirement that a commerc ial or ATP rated pilot transport persons and/or cargo for hire in manned aircraft.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 14 of 15 

## 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil Ai rcraft Airworthiness
SSP requests an exemption from 1 4 C.F.R. §91.7(a) which prohibi ts the operation of civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airwor thiness certificate issued for SSP’s DJI Inspire 1 model, no standard will exist for determining air worthiness. In any event, SSP’s proposed Flight Conditions and Oper ating Procedure will ensure an equivalent level of safety with 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a).
14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitude: General
SSP requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R §91.119(c) which provid es 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 ma y not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehi cle, or structure. SSP’s petiti on requests that the DJI Inspire 1 be flown at an altitude no higher than 400 feet AGL and, when comp lying with the conditions set forth in §23(b) of SSP’s Flight Conditions and Operating Proced ures, at distan ces closer than 500 feet from any person, vessel , vehicle, or structure.
The requirement that the DJI Insp ire 1 maintain 400 feet or les s AGL helps ensure that signal connectivity between the transmitter and receiver will not be l ost. In addition, this height restriction ensures that the PIC will be able to maintain VLOS while simult aneously limiting the possibility of the sUAS model’s interference with other NAS traffic. Moreov er, this requirement ensures at least 100 feet of vertical separation between sUAS commercial o perators and manned aircraft operating within the NAS.
Traditional principles requiring a 500 foot AGL minimum for fix ed-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 con cerns are not present with SSP’s sUAS model as they are extremely lightweight and small. Any inj ury to property or person would be negligible when compared to the catastrophic damage that a f ixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft would inflict due to a forced landing. Consequently, SSP’s Flig ht Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equiva lent level of safety when compa red to 14 C.F.R §91.119(c).
14 C.F.R. §91.121: Altimeter Settings
SSP requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.121 which provides gu idelines for the use of altimeter settings while operating an aircraft. SSP’s petition for exempt ion provides an equivalent level of safety such that the DJI Inspire 1 PIC will be able to determin e the AGL height of the sUAS model due to GPS technology. The AGL height of the sUAS will be displ ayed for the PIC during all flight operations. As such, the PIC will be able to maintain th e requirement that the sUAS models fly no higher than 400 feet AGL duri ng all flight operations.
14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1): Fuel Requi rements For Flight In VFR Co nditions

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption Seventy 7 Productions Page 15 of 15 

## SSP requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1) which provi des that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions with less than 30 mi nutes of reserve fuel. SSP’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety due to SSP ’s prohibition against the PIC from beginning a flight unless (consid ering wind and forecast weathe r conditions) there is enough available power for the sUAS model to conduct the intended oper ation and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.
Given the design and technology of the DJI Inspire 1, SSP’s PIC will have access to all relevant information concerning the sUAS model’s battery life. The PIC w ill be able to make an accurate determination as to whether the PIC can comply with SSP’s “fuel ” requirements for each flight. Consequently, SSP’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): Maintenanc e Required; 14 C.F.R. §91.407(a )(1): Operation After Maintenance, Preventative Maint enance, Rebuilding, Or Alteratio n; 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.409(a)(1) and (2): Inspections ; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance Records
SSP requests exemption from the following F.A.Rs: 14 C.F.R. §91 .405(a), which provides the owner or operator of aircraft sh all 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 oper ate any aircraft having undergone preventive maintenance unless approved for return to service by a person authorized 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 ha s been performed; and 14 C.F.R. §§91.417(a) and (b), which provides for the recording of an air craft’s maintenance if the aircraft holds an airworthine ss certificate.
SSP’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of sa fety since SSP’s requires compliance with the sUAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the DJI Inspire 1. Due to the natur e of a sUAS, compliance with certain maintenance requirements under Subpart E of 14 C.F.R. are eithe r impossible or cost prohibitive to implement when applied to a sUAS. As such, SSP should be exe mpt from these regulations as SSP’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equivalent level of safety when compared to these F.A.R.s.

Flight Controller

The I nspire 1 's fl ight cont r oller is based on OJI flight contro ll er with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are avai l ab l e: F ai 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 crucia l flight data for each flight.



## Flight Mode
Three flight modes are avai l able. The detai l s of each flight mode are found in the section below : P mode ( P os i t i o ning ) : P mode works best when GPS signa l is s t rong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically se l ected by the Inspire 1 depending on G P S 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 i s avai l able but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using on l y Vision Positioning fo r hovering P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning avai l able, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so on l y a l titude is contro ll ed. A mode (Attit u de) : The G PS and Vision Positioning System is not used for ho l ding position. The a i rcratt

### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJIIntelli gent 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 t o return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatica lly return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pr essing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined base d on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level c an only support the aircraft to land to the ground from the current altitude. User c an use the remote controller t o 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 significan tly 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 flig ht. 2. Using the Intelligent Flight Batte ry in extremely low temperatu re environments (those with air temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying in en vironments with t emperatures betw een 

# soc and -10°C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to ach ieve 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 t emperatures. 3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Leve l Warning" when flying in low temperature environments, stop flying and land the aircraft immediately. Yo u 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 e nv ironment 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, b e gin 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 Batt ery's core temperature above 20°C when in use. 

# 6 In cold environments, insert the battery into the battery compa rtment and allow the aircraft to warm up for approximately 1-2 minutes before taking off.

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 dep ending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the a ircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is n ot. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft i s 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 re ceiving 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 act ivated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

### No-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 ma jor airports and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include bor ders between countries or sensitive sites. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below:
Airport: (1) Airport No-Fly Zones are compr ised 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 prevent ed. (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 outw ard. 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 OJI Pilot app.

Then prepare for your first flight by using the INSPIRE 1 Quick Start Guide and watching all of the tutorial videos. If you have questions, refer to the INSPIRE 1 User Manual for more comprehensive information. Experienced users, particularly those who have previously used DJI products, may choose to skip to the Inspire 1 Quick Start Guide to begin preparing for flight. 

### 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

### ENlead to motor damage. 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.
