Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas 

Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at 

http://www.dji.com/lly-sale/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. 

Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow. while category B areas 

includes smaller airports. 

Category A Safety Zone 

(1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Right is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the 

restricted-altitude zone. 

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented.

~ 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 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, including (1)two sonar 

sensors and(2)one monocular camera. 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 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 1 can perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS is available.
