# Ai **rcraft** Flight Controller The Inspire 1 ’s fight controller is based on DJI fight controller wi th se ve ral enhancements such as new f ight mode and new

s afe 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 fight recorder stores crucial fight data for each fight. 

## Flight Mode Three fight modes are available. The details of each fight 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 P mode, whic h 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
- ATTI: 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 Vi sion Positioning Sy stem 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 P oint 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. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the fight mode of the a ircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Sw itch ” on P27 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The INSPIRE 1 comes w ith the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are show n in the fgu re 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. Wi th the help of V ision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments w here there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

[2]

[1] Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically wh en the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor env ironment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering ev en w hen no GPS is available.



### 16 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserv ed.INSPIRE 1 User Manual

Follow the steps belo w to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the sw itch to “P ” as show n the fgure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a fat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces w ithout pattern variations. 3. Pow er on the Ins pire 1. The aircraft status indicator wi ll fash tw ice in green light, wh ich indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 w ill hover in place. The performance of your Inspire 1 ’s Vision Posit ioning Sy stem is subject to the surface you are fy ing over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may n ot function correctl y in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will swit ch from “P ” mode to “A ” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning Sy stem are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure w hite, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly refective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). Flying over w ater or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area w here the lighti ng changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound w aves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces w ithout clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that w ill defect sound w aves aw ay from the aircraft. In the event of loss of remote controller ’s signal, the aircraft wi ll 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 of the sensors. The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. Visi on Positioning system may not function properly w hen the aircraft is fying over w ater. Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low l ight conditions (less than 100lux). Do not use other ultrasonic dev ices wi th fr equency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation. Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft wh en flying close to the ground (below

0.5 meters) in fast speed. Keep the animals aw ay from the aircraft wh en Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data t hrough the DJI Pilot app. This includes fight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut o n the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly,

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 av ailable but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P
- ATTI: 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 onl y 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.

## Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in sev ere weather conditions. These include w ind speed exceeding 10m/s , snow , rain and smog. 2. Only fy in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on - board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crow ds, high volt age pow er lines, trees or bodies of w ater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area wi th high lev els of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission tow ers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subje ct to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful w hen fying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate w ithin 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 fight limits are described in the follow ing section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regula tions from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the fight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. T he fight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. Wh en operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones wo rk together to manage fight. In A mode only height limits w ork and fights cannot go higher than 120 mete rs.
