Re: Exemption Request Under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations 

Dear Madam, Sir, 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the 

"Reform Act") and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Mount Shasta Aerial Imagery ("MSAI"), an 

operator of the Djl Phantom 2 Vision+ ("Vision"), and Djllnspire 1 ("Inspire") seeks 

an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") listed below: 

• 14 C.F.R. 21 

• 14 C.F.R. 45.23 

• 14 C.F.R 45.29 

• 14 C.F.R. 61.133(a) 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.7(b) 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2) 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.109(a) 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.119 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a) 

• 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) & (b) 

• 14 CFR Subpart E (91.401- 91.417) 

MSAI is comprised of commercial pilots, biological, environmental, and ecological 

research scientists, environmental education instructors, and Geographic 

Information Systems (GIS) and software specialists trained in working in the land 

management, education and environmental fields. Our pilots have over 5 years of 

experience that includes flying unmanned aircraft. The requested exemption would 

authorize commercial operations using the Vision and Inspire for aerial data 

collection for the purposes of land mapping/surveying, land assessment, inventory 

and long-term monitoring, scientific/biological research and conservation 

restoration. 

These operations will be subject to strict operating requirements defined in the 

Vision and Inspire Pilot Operating Handbooks and conditions defined by the Safety 

Code of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (see Appendix 8), in order to ensure at 

least an equivalent level of safety to currently authorized operations using manned 

aircrafts.

The Vision and Inspire will be operated by an individual who fulfill the following 

requirements: 

• Has successfully passed a manufacturer's training program for the Vision and 

Inspire; 

• Has a Private Pilot license; 

1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AIRCRAFT 

The Vision is a small (13.8 inches between rotors) and ultra-light (maximum takeoff weight of 3.1 pounds), made of composite materials. The Inspire is a small (17 

inches between rotors) and ultra-light (maximum take-off weight of 6.4 pounds, 

made of composite materials. Those aircraft perform pre-programmed precision 

aerial mapping missions thanks to on-board GPS and the· related flight management 

software that allows the operator to plan safely and efficiently a mission in 30, and 

then monitor it in real-time. The Vision and Inspire take high-definition video and 

photos that is used later to generate maps, photographs, and contour lines of the 

surveyed area. 

The four main characteristics of the Vision and Inspire are: 

a. Very light weight 

The Vision and Inspire are so light that the operator can launch them by hand and 

let them land on almost any surface without requiring a parachute or landing net. Its 

low impact energy in case of a controlled emergency landing, also significantly 

reduces the risk of hazardous situations. The rotor arms of the Vision and Inspire 

are rounded and made of plastic with no sharp edges. 

b. Electric-powered 

The Vision and Inspire are electric powered. The four motors are very quiet and 

reliable. 

c. Semi-automatic flight 

The artificial intelligence incorporated within the Vision and Inspire autopilot 

system continuously analyzes data from the Inertial Measurement Unit and from the 

on board GPS and takes care of all the aspects of the flight under the supervision of 

the operator. 

d. Option for Manual control 

Additionally, the Vision and Inspire provide an override capability that allows the 

operator to take manual actions during the flight (Go to Home, Go Land, Hold and 

Resume the mission) and also suspend automated operations and take manual 

2 
control of the aircraft should it become necessary to respond to emergent 

circumstances, thanks to the remote controller provided with the system. 

2. APPLICATIONS 

The aircraft will be utilized for gathering scientific data (biological, ecological, 

environmental, and land assessment) for forestry management, biological research 

and restoration, and education-related studies and projects. 

Those data will be used for creating highly accurate maps and geo-rectified 

orthophotographs. In addition, the aircraft will allow gathering of scientific data in 

areas where access to the terrain is difficult or dangerous, thus increasing the safety 

of the scientists and professionals. 

Additionally, the use of the Vision and Inspire will negate the need for conventional 

manned helicopters in many situations, thus, reducing risk to pilot and passenger of 

the helicopter, and personnel on the ground. The use of UAV will also reduce the 

need for conventional aircraft in gathering photogrammetric data, thus improving 

public safety. The use of UAV will also reduce the amount of greenhouse gas 

emissions from conventional aircraft for jobs that now can be performed with 

battery operated UAV equipment, a benefit to public health and safety. 

3. APPLICABLE LEGAL STANDARD UNDER SECTION 333 

a. Operating Requirements 

Grant of the exemption to MSAI for the Vision and Inspire will be subject to the 

following operating conditions, based on the operating conditions set forth by the 

Academy of Model Aeronautics (see Appendix 8). The main restrictions are 

summarized below: 

• Operations to be conducted over private or public controlled-access property 

where approved; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Permission from the land owner /authority required before commencing any 

flight; 

Operations over congested areas shall be avoided; 

Operations must not interfere with manned aircraft operations, must yield 

the right of way to manned aircraft, and operators must See & Avoid other 

aircraft and obstacles at all times. Use of an ADS-8 receiver by the VO will 

assist in monitoring the presence of other proximal aircraft; 

Operations limited to Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) 

and daylight hours; 

Aircraft operations must remain within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) and will 

be visually monitored at all times; 

VLOS guaranteed with a GPS geo-fence around operator of 0.5 miles; 

3 
• Flight ceiling pre-programed at 400 feet; 

• All operations conducted within 5 miles from an airport shall only be 

initiated after verbal coordination with the airport authority, or air traffic 

control when a control tower is present at the airport; 

• All operations shall comply with required permissions and permits 

established by territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions; including local 

law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies; 

• The Vision and Inspire operations will be compliant with existing safety 

procedures inherent to the activities of the related company. 

b. Operator Requirements 

The Vision and Inspire Pilot in Command (PIC) will have a Private Pilot license. The 

PIC and Visual Observer (VO) will meet the requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 

8900.227 Section 16 Personnel Qualifications. Additionally, the PIC and VO will 

perform maintenance on the system and will complete a course of maintenance 

instruction as part of their initial training. Due to the simplicity of the system, we do 

not anticipate the need for a supplemental pilot in the field. 

3. CONCLUSION 

We submit that the combination of the aircrafts' light weight, historically 

demonstrated flight performance, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation 

under the guidelines established in 8900.227, the FAA can have confidence that the 

operation will have an equivalent or greater level of safety of manned aircraft 

performing the same mission.

APPENDIX A: EXEMPTION REQUEST AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

SHOWINGS UNDER APPLICABLE RULES SUBJECT TO EXEMPTION 

MSAI requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any 

additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of the Vision and 

Inspire: 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 

This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthines~ certificate. 

While the FAA continues to work to develop airworthiness standards for UAS, we 

request an experimental certificate be issued for the Vision and Inspire under either 

or both of the following provisions: 

21.191 Experimental certificates. 

Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes: 

(a) Research and development. Testing new aircraft design concepts, 

new aircraft equipment, new aircraft installations, new aircraft 

operating techniques, or new uses for aircraft. 

(b) Showing compliance with regulations. Conducting flight tests 

and other operations to show compliance with the airworthiness 

regulations including flights to show compliance for issuance of type 

and supplemental type certificates, flights to substantiate major 

design changes, and flights to show compliance with the function and 

reliability requirements of the regulations. 

Since the experimental certificate can be used for commercial purposes such as 

market surveys, sales demonstrations, and customer crew training, we would expect 

that an experimental certificate would permit our commercial purpose as well. 

The aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly 

under strict operational requirements. Combined with the fact that the aircraft are 

lightweight, we propose that the Vision and Inspire will be at least as safe, if not 

safer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same mission. 

If an experimental airworthiness certificate is not appropriate for this application, 

then we request an exemption of 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H, and the requirement 

for an airworthiness certificate in general, citing the equivalent level of safety 

outlined in the previous paragraph. 

14 CFR 91.203(a) & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. 

The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration 

number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the 

aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate 

be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or 

6 
crew." The Vision and Inspire are too small to carry documentation, do not have an 

entrance, and are not capable of carrying passengers or crew. 

To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose 

that documents deemed appropriate for these aircraft by the FAA will be co-located 

with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon 

request. In order to identify the aircraft, we propose that the information found on 

airworthiness and registration certificates be permanently affixed to the aircraft via 

placard: 

Manufacturer: 0)1 

Model: "Phantom 2 Vision+" or "Inspire 1" 

Serial Number: 15-XXXX 

Registered to: 

Mount Shasta Aerial Imagery 

6224 Hill Street 

Dunsmuir, CA 96025 

lffound please contact: (530) 859-1411. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 & 14 C.F.R. § 45.29: Display of marks; size of marks 

These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's 

registration number in letters at least 3 inches high. Additionally, the aircraft must 

display the word "EXPERIMENTAL" in letters at least 2 inches high near the 

entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station. 

Given the size of the Vision and Inspire (rotor to rotor distance of 13.8 inches, and 

17 inches respectively), this requirement is impossible to match. We feel that the 

permanent placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's 

registration information should it be found on the ground. We will also display at 

the ground station a high contrast flag or banner that contains the words 

"Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" in letters 3 inches high or greater. 

Since the aircraft will operate within 1/2 NM of the ground station, the banner 

should be visible to anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its 

point of origin. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness 

This regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in 

airworthy condition. Should the exemption be granted allowing commercial 

operation of the Vision and Inspire without an airwqrthiness certificate, no standard 

will exist for airworthiness of the Vision and Inspire. An equivalent level of safety 

will be achieved by insuring compliance with the Vision and Inspire Pilot 

Operating Handbook (flight manual) prior to each flight. 

7 
14 C.F.R. § 91.9: Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard 

requirements. 

This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, 

approved flight manual is in the aircraft. MSAI assumes that the intent of this 

requirement is to ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew 

while operating the aircraft. MSAI requests an exemption to this requirement since 

the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, that the documentation 

would not be available to the crew. 

To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a 

current, approved Pilot Operating Handbook (Appendix F) must be available to the 

crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft is in, or preparing for, flight. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a) & 91.319(a)(1): Flight Instruction 

The regulation provides that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being 

used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." 

The Vision and Inspire ground control stations are based on a small hand-held 

computer and while they do not offer a second set of "controls", both the student 

and instructor can, and will, operate the single set of controls simultaneously. Both 

the Vision and Inspire can be controlled from a ground station tablet or from the 

transmitter so, in essence, they have dual control capability and redundancy. 

With both student and instructor having "hands-on" the controls during flight, we 

feel that this technique meets the intent 91.109 and provides an equivalent level of 

safety. 

14 CFR § 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes 

The regulation provides that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be 

operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the 

aircraft will be operating at a maximum of 400 feet AGL, the Vision and Inspire 

cannot comply with this requirement. 

The equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the Vision and Inspire will 

only fly over property with the permission of the landowner(s) or public agencies. 

The operator will define before every flight a working area radius and a flight area 

ceiling, preventing the Vision or Inspire from going beyond the flight area. 

The landowner and the persons who may be on the ground in the flight area will be 

briefed of the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons and 

property on the ground. Due to the small size of the Vision and Inspire and the 

material with which they are built, the hazard to persons, vessels, vehicles, and 

structures is not comparable to manned aircraft and should be considered in 

granting the exemption. 

8 
"' 

Moreover, the aircraft will not be operated over congested areas nor over any openair assembly of persons. The aircraft will be operated at an altitude allowing, if a 

power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or 

property on the surface. 

14 CFR 91.121- Altimeter Settings 

This section requires that each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the 

cruising altitude or flight level of that aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an 

altimeter that is set, when operating below 18,000 feet MSL to: 

• The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 

100 nautical miles of the aircraft; 

• If there is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this 

section, the current reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available 

station; 

• In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the 

departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before 

departure. 

To provide an equivalent level of safety, Vision and Inspire autopilot calculates the 

reference altitude (ground level) with the on-board GPS during the pre-flight tests. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under dayVFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended 

landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes. 

Given the area of operation for the Vision and Inspire, MSAI believes that an 

equivalent level of safety is already achieved with the specific procedure preventing 

the Vision and Inspire from accepting a take-off order if the battery level is below a 

given value. The Pilot in Command will monitor the battery levels of the Vision and 

Inspire during flight and return the aircraft to home when battery levels reach 25 to 

30 percent capacity. Moreover, OJI has integrated "low" and "critical" battery level 

warnings into controllers operated for these aircraft, and implemented automatic 

"Return Home" and "Go Land" actions in these situations. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) & (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and 

Registration 

This regulation provides as follows: 

• No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has an appropriate and 

current airworthiness certificate. 

• No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate 

required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization 

9 
issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it 

is legible to passengers or crew. 

The Vision and Inspire weigh only 3.5 pounds and 6.4 pounds (maximum take-off 

weight), respectively. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and 

registration documents or to display them on the UAS. In addition, there is no pilot 

or passengers on board the aircraft. 

To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, MSAI proposes 

that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft by the FAA will be co-located 

with the operator at the ground control station in the Vision and Inspire box and 

available for inspection upon request. 

14 CFR Subpart E (91.401- 91.417) -Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, 

and Alterations 

The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining 

the aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with Parts 39 and 43. 

Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to 

service by a person authorized under Part 43.7" after maintenance and inspection. 

Section 91.409(a)(2) requires an annual inspection for the issuance of an 

airworthiness certificate. Section 91.417(a) requires the owner or operator to keep 

records showing certain maintenance work that has been accomplished by 

certificated mechanics, under Part 43, or licensed pilots and records of approval of 

the aircraft for return to service. 

MSAI proposes that the maintenance of the Vision and Inspire will be accomplished 

by the owner/operator according to the maintenance manual, provided by Djl. MSAI 

requests the FAA treat the Vision and Inspire training programs as proprietary 

under 14 C.F.R. 11.35(b) and not include these documents in the public docket. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the Vision and Inspire are 

small in size, they are not complex mechanical devices, and they will operate only in 

restricted predetermined areas. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar 

with the aircraft and is best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition 

and to ensure an equivalent level of safety.

Academy of Model Aeronautics National Model Aircraft Safety Code 

Effective January 1, 2014 

A. GENERAL: A model aircraft is a non-human-<:arrying aircraft capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is 

intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competrJon. All model flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and any 

additional rules specific to the flying site. 

1. Model aircraft will not be flown: 

(a) In a careless or reckless manner. 

(b) At a location where model aircraft activities are prohibited. 

2. Model aircraft pilots will: 

(a) Yield the right of way to all human-carrying aircraft. 

(b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D.) 

(c) Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within three (3) miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. 

(d) Not interfere with operations and traffic patterns at any airport, heliport or seaplane base except where there is a mixed use agreement. 

(e) Not exceed a takeoff weigh~ including fuel, of 55 pounds unless in compliance with the AMA Large Model Airplane program. (AMA Document 520-A.) 

(f) Ensure the aircraft is identified with the name and address or AMA number of the owner on the inside or affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. (This 

does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors.) 

(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts except for helicopters operated under the provisions of AMA Document #555. 

(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or while using any drug that could adversely affect the pilot's ability to safely control the 

model. 

(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices that explode or bum, or any device which propels a projectile or drops any object that creates a 

hazard to persons or property. 

Exceptions: 

• Free Flight fuses or devices that bum producing smoke and are securely attached to the model aircraft during flight. 

• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size may be used provided they remain attached to the model during flight. Model rockets may 

be flown in accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety Code but may not be launched from model aircraft. 

• Officially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to use devices and practices as defined within the Team AMA Program Document. 

(AMA Document #718.) 

U) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with the AMA turbine regulations. (AMA Document #510-A.) 

3. Model aircraft will not be flown in AMA sanctioned events, air shows or model demonstrations unless:

"SEE AND AVOID11 GUIDANCE 

A. General: 

4• ~ ,,,.. ; ~t" ~ 

ACADEMY 

M~ OF 

MODEL AERONAUTICS 

1. The primary means to avoid collisions between all aircraft flying within our National Airspace System 

(NAS) is "See and Avoid." 

2. Vigilance must be maintained by each person operating an aircraft (whether model or manned) so as to 

"see and avoid" other aircraft. 

3. Model aircraft must avoid manned aircraft. Our privilege to fly model aircraft in the NAS depends on our 

commitment to remain "well clear" of manned aircraft. 

4. Simply avoiding an actual collision is not enough. A "near miss" is not acceptable. 

5. Unless flying at a mixed-use site where manned and model aircraft routinely share airspace through 

their own site-specific rules, model aircraft must fly sufficiently far away from manned aircraft so as not to 

create a collision hazard. 

6. Model aircraft flying must not only be safe, it must be perceived to be safe by the greater manned 

aviation community. Modelers must continually demonstrate their respect for the safety of manned 

aircraft by remaining vigilant and well clear. 

7. Whenever a potential conflict arises between model aircraft and manned aircraft, the pilot of the model 

aircraft must always give way to the manned aircraft. 

8. The pilot of a model aircraft must never assume the pilot of a manned aircraft can see the= model or will 

perform any maneuver to avoid the model's flight path. 

9. Visual Line of Sight is required by the Safety Code. It means that visual contact with the aircraft must be 

maintained without enhancement other than by corrective lenses prescribed for the model aircraft pilot. 

All RC flying must remain clear of clouds smoke or any other obstruction to the line of sight. 

10. "Blue Sky" is a term used to explain the method used to increase separation between a model and a 

manned aircraft in the same vicinity. The modeler should maneuver the aircraft in such a way as to 

increase the amount of blue sky perceived between the model and the manned aircraft. By increasing the 

blue sky separation, the question about depth perception is taken out of the equation and the modeler 

need not worry whether the model is closer to him than the manned aircraft or further away. Increasing 

the blue sky between the model and the manned aircraft automatically increases separation between 

them.

11. A modeler should never place any consideration for the well-being of the model aircraft above the 

safety of manned aircraft. Maneuvering to avoid the conflict may require that the model aircraft be 

sacrificed. 

12. Free flight models should not be launched with relatively low altitude manned 

aircraft in sight and downwind or headed downwind from the launch site. 

B. Spotters: 

1. Before a flight, the pilot must insure that the spotter understands his/her duties 

and expectations. 

" 

~ 

2. A spotter should be used to assist in monitoring the surrounding airspace for manned aircraft whenever 

a flight is expected to exceed 400 feet above the ground and that operation is expected to be in proximity 

to known manned aircraft traffic such as at a mixed-use facility or within three miles of an airport. The 

spotter must have sufficient visual acuity and be mature enough to take this responsibility very seriously. 

3. A spotter should also be prepared to assist his/her pilot in the event that another model aircraft or 

spectators become endangered or in turn are perceived to be a danger to the pilot or the pilot's model 

aircraft. 

4. If a model aircraft pilot experiences what he or she considers a near miss with a manned aircraft, that 

model aircraft pilot should notify AMA Headquarters with a written report of the incident, including action

AMA Document # 560 

Radio Controlled Model Aircraft Operation 

Utilizing Failsafe. Stabilization and Autopilot Systems 

1. DEFINITION OF TERMS: 

Please refer to Page 3, section 7 which contains an alphabetical listing of the definitions of the 

terms in italics that are used in this document. 

2. GENERAL: 

All model aircraft flights utilizing stabilization and autopilot control systems must be conducted 

in accordance with AMA's current National Model Aircraft Safety Code and any additional rules 

specific to a flying site/location. 

3. OPERATIONS- REQUIREMENTS- LIMITATIONS: 

a) AMA members flying radio controlled model aircraft equipped with flight stabilization and 

autopilot systems must maintain VLOS with the aircraft at all times including programmed 

autopilot waypoint flight. 

b) AMA Pilots must be able to instantaneously deactivate programmed flight of autopilot 

systems at any time during flight and resume manual control of the model aircraft. 

c) AMA Pilots must perform an RIC Test Flight of a model aircraft before activating a newly 

installed autopilot or stabilization system and/or after any repairs or replacement of model 

aircraft essential flight systems. 

d) Model aircraft exceeding 151bs and/or 70mph may only use an autopilot for a programmed 

"return to launch" (RTL) flight and not for programmed waypoint flying of a predetermined 

course. 

e) STABILIZATION & AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS MAY BE USED FOR/TO: 

• Stabilization/automatically stabilize aircraft to level flight when control sticks are centered. 

• Recovery/activate TRX switch to recover an out of control aircraft to level flight. 

• Heading/activate TRX switch to hold a model aircraft's heading for precision flight path. 

• Altitude/activate TRX switch to maintain fixed aircraft altitude while allowing directional control. 

• Return GPS/activate TRX switch to return aircraft via GPS to launch point. 

• Return FSS/failsafe activated from radio signal loss to return aircraft via GPS to launch point. 

• Fixed circle/activate TRX switch to circle aircraft at point of activation at fixed altitude. 

• WaypoinUactivate TRX switch to initiate an autopilot programmed flight path via waypoints. 

• Fencing/autopilot programed to display site unique boundaries on video monitor/goggles.

, 
4. RANGE-ALTITUDE- WEIGHT- SPEED: 

a) One of the requirements in Federal Law (Public Law 112-95 Sec 336 (c) (2) February 14, 

2012) for model aircraft to be excluded from FAA regulations is that model aircraft be 

flown within VLOS of the·operator. 

b) Model aircraft must be flown at or below 400 feet AGL when within 3 miles of an airport as 

stated in the AMA Safety Code. 

c) Model aircraft utilizing an autopilot for waypoint flying are limited to a maximum weight 

(including fuel, batteries, and onboard autopilot systems) of 151bs and a speed of 

70mph. 

5. RECOMMENDATIONS & INFORMATION: 

a) If your radio system lacks failsafe capability, consider using programmable digital servos or 

auxiliary failsafe modules. In the event of a radio signal failure these components will 

activate desired safe servo settings or an autopilot for return to base/launch (RTL). 

b) When using an autopilot system the "return to launch" (RTL} feature should be 

programmed to return the aircraft to a safe location and safely terminate the flight should 

manual control of the aircraft be lost. When using RTL, pay particular attention to the 

manufacturer's throttle recommendations to prevent stalling. 

c) The use of stabilization systems is recommended when flying FPV to improve flight 

stability and video quality. 

d) Pilots usually choose to incorporate stabilization and autopilot systems for model aircraft 

flying to enhance flight performance, correct bad tendencies of the model aircraft, 

maintain stability in windy weather, establish precision heading holds for 

takeoffs/landings, flight training for novice pilots, create a steady flight platform for 

cameras, and generally just to make an airplane easier and safer to fly. 

e) When purchasing stabilization and autopilot systems, always try to select quality equipment 

from reputable dealers, ensure for compatibility with other onboard systems, and install 

components according to manufacturers' instructions. 

6. PRIVACY PROTECTION SAFEGUARDS: 

The use of imaging technology for aerial surveillance with radio control model aircraft 

having the capability of obtaining high-resolution photographs and/or video, or using any 

types of sensors, for the collection, retention, or dissemination of surveillance data or 

information on individuals, homes, businesses, or property at locations where there is 

a reasonable expectation of privacy is strictly prohibited by the AMA unless written 

expressed permission is obtained from the individual property owners or managers. 

PAGE 2 OF 3 (Revision 01/14/2013) 
7. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS: 

AMA Pilot is an AMA member who is capable of manually operating an R/C transmitter to 

control a model aircraft's flight path within its safe intended flight envelope without losing 

control or having a collision. 

Autopilot Systems incorporate programmable flight stabilization with an altitude sensor and 

a GPS receiver for accurate positioning and to navigate/control a radio controlled model 

aircraft's flight path. Advanced systems offer software for entering navigable waypoints. The 

flight data waypoints may be saved to autopilot's/GPS memory for programmed flight. 

Essential Flight Systems are any systems or components necessary to maintain 

stable flight within a model aircraft's flight envelope. (This includes primary R/C systems 

and any stabilization or gyros required to maintain stability and heading in certain 

types of model aircraft that would be uncontrollable/unstable without their use). 

Failsafe Systems are designed to minimize or prevent damage and safely terminate a 

flight when a radio controlled model aircraft loses radio signal. Modern radio systems can 

be programmed to position servos to a desired control setting in the event of radio signal 

failure. 

First Person View (FPV) refers to the operation of a radio controlled (R/C) model aircraft 

using an onboard camera's cockpit view to orient and control the aircraft. (AMA Document 

#550). 

Flight Envelope is defined as the range of airspeeds, attitudes and flight maneuvers which 

a model aircraft can ~afely perform/operate for its intended use. 

Non-Essential Flight Systems are any systems or components that are not necessary to 

maintain stable flight within the model aircraft's intended flight envelope. {This includes 

autopilot or stabilization systems that can be activated and deactivated in flight by the pilot 

without affecting manually controlled stable flight). 

RIC Test Flight requires an AMA Pilot to manually operate an R/C transmitter to control 

a model aircraft's flight path and determine if the aircraft is capable of maintaining stable 

flight within its safe intended flight envelope. 

Stabilization Systems are designed to maintain intended model aircraft flight attitudes. 

The pilot can install, program and/or activate a system to stabilize yaw, pitch, or roll or any 

one attitude or combination of attitudes. Systems are often based on rate/heading hold 

gyros or inertial motion sensors utilizing multi-axis gyros and accelerometers for 

attitude stabilization. 

Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) is the distance at which the pilot is able to maintain visual 

contact with the aircraft and determine its orientation and attitude without enhancements 

other than corrective lenses.

APPENDIX C: PRIVACY ISSUES 

The Vision and Inspire are proposed to be flown over sterile, unpopulated to lightly 

populated areas. In addition, we propose to obtain landowner permission to fly over 

properties as part of our services and to notify and obtain waivers of consent from 

non-landowners over which we will be flying. Finally, most of our flights will be 300 

to 400 feet above ground surface, making visual recognition of people on the ground 

difficult. Because of the sterile environment and the prenotification of landowners 

and personnel on the ground, privacy compromises due to MSAI activities are 

anticipated to be alleviated. Under no circumstances will MSAI's aircraft be utilized 

to purposefully invade the privacy of peoples or properties in areas within our 

studies or outside of our study boundaries.

APPENDIX D: SAFETY CASE 

Safety of our flight crew, other aircraft, people on the ground, and public and private 

properties is of utmost importance to MSAI. MSAI's Pilot in Command (PIC) will be 

responsible for all safety procedures and protocols while on the ground. The Visual 

Observer (VO) will assist the PIC in maintaining safety procedures throughout the 

course of a project. Safety procedures to be utilized in the field include the 

following: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

A full diagnostic check of the aircraft by the PIC and VO using a pre-flight 

checklist will be performed on the ground prior to commencement of each 

project; 

High visibility (day-glow orange or green) will be worn by the flight crew 

during each project. In addition, at the ground station, a high contrast flag or 

banner that contains the words "Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" will be 

placed prior to any flights; 

Operations to be conducted over private or public controlled-access property 

where approved; 

Permission from the land owner /authority required before commencing any 

flight; 

Operations over congested areas shall be avoided; 

Operations will not interfere with manned aircraft operations, will yield the 

right of way to manned aircraft, and operators must See & Avoid other 

aircraft and obstacles at all times. Use of an ADS-8 receiver by the VO will 

assist in monitoring the presence of other proximal aircraft; 

Operations limited to Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) 

and daylight hours; 

Aircraft operations will remain within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) and will be 

visually monitored at all times; 

Use of a high-definition first-person view from the aircraft will assist the PIC 

and VO identify potential flight conflicts and terminate or alter the preprogrammed flight plan; 

VLOS guaranteed with a GPS geo-fence around operator of 0.5 miles; 

Flight ceiling pre-programed at 400 feet; 

All operations conducted within 5 miles from an airport shall only be 

initiated after verbal coordination with the airport authority, or air traffic 

control when a control tower is present at the airport; 

All operations will comply with required permissions and permits 

established by territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions; including local 

law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies; 

Post-flight inspection of the aircraft will be performed by the PIC and VO 

utilizing a postflight checklist; 

The Vision and Inspire operations will be compliant with existing safety 

procedures inherent to the activities of the related company.

APPENDIX E: MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 

MSAI's maintenance procedures for our rotor-powered aircraft are as follows. In 

addition for the Inspire, they will also follow the enclosed Inspire 1 Maintenance 

Manual. 

PROPELLER CARE 

• 

• 

Propellers must be checked each flight for nicks or cracks 

Propellers are designed to last indefinitely if they do not impact dust, dirt or 

more. 

BATTERY CARE AND USE 

Refer to instruction sheet included from the battery manufacturer. Typical 

information follows: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Batteries are highly flammable and can explode, especially when fully 

charged. 

Improper charging, vibration, impact, high discharge, etc. can lead to 

explosion and fire. Batteries must be charged under constant supervision and 

using proper precautions. 

Batteries fully charged must be handled with extreme care . 

Any battery that puffs up is considered damaged and must not be used. It is 

in a dangerous state. Never charge a puffed up battery. 

Any battery which holds less than 80% of its rated capacity should be 

discarded. 

Cycle test each battery after every 50 cycles or if a battery is suspected to 

have lost as significant amount of its capacity to determine the current 

capacity. 

Properly dispose of batteries. First discharge the battery fully using a battery 

cycler. 

Bring to a recycler such as a home improvement store . 

Always charge flight batteries under "balance" mode . 

Flight Battery Recommended Charge Rate: 1 C which takes approximately 1 

hour to charge 

Flight Battery Maximum Charge Rate: May exceed SC. Charge rates higher 

than 1 C will decrease life cycles. Maximum charge rating per the 

manufacturer will provide 

300+ cycles. Use the lowest charge rate which is practical. 

Battery Rest Time between discharging and charging: 30 minutes minimum, 

1 hour maximum. 

Do not charge if the battery is more than zoe warmer than ambient, 

especially if the temperature is above 20°C. The outer surface is cooler than 

the inner core after use. 

Damage will occur when charging a warm battery . 

14 
• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Recommended Battery Discharge Amount: 80%. Using more of the capacity 

of the battery will decrease the life cycles 

As battery temperature approaches freezing the capacity of Lithium Polymer 

batteries decrease. Keep warmer than soc before installing into the UV 

(unmanned vehicle). 

Battery capacity decreases at higher discharge rates. Using more batteries 

decreases the discharge rate of each battery thereby extending individual 

battery capacity slightly. 

Lower discharge rates improve the life cycles . 

Batteries are rated at greater than 300 life cycles. 1 ,000+ life cycles are 

possible. 

Batteries must not be stored above 60% charged state for extended periods . 

Batteries should be stored below zsoc for extended periods 

Store batteries between 40%- 60% charged state. Fully charge just before 

use. 

Fully charged batteries which are not to be used within 24 hours should be 

discharged to 40%- 60% charged state using the battery discharger. 

Using more than one battery at a time requires the proper wiring harness so 

that the voltage is no more than 25.2V. Over voltage will cause serious 

damage to electrical equipment. 

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 

ANNUAL INSPECTION (SUGGESTED) 

• 

• 

• 

• 

If the airframe has in excess of 300 hours in a one year period, an annual 

inspection must be completed by an approved technician. 

An approved technician should disassemble the UAV and inspect all 

components for wear and replace any components as required. 

Test all batteries for capacity . 

Upgrade firmware and software to latest revisions

Maintenance Manual 

[ V1.0 I 2015.2 

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, 

it is recommended that comprehensive maintenance be performed after every 200 flights or 50 

flight hours. This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued 

reliability. 

I. Checking the Battery 

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If 

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop 

using it and discharge the battery to 10% or below 

for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any 

reason. 

2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an 

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to 

ensure a more reliable connection. 

3. Check the metal battery power connectors for 

damage. If the connectors appear burnt, try to clear 

them. This can be done by inserting a piece of 

sandpaper ( 1 mm thick) into the connectors to polish 

the metal. 

4. Check the contact pins in the battery compartment to 

ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able 

to establish easy contact with the battery connectors 

and should not be bent. 

5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear 

burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If there is serious 

erosion. send the battery in for repairs. 

6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket 

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are 

secure. This prevents the battery from becoming 

loose during flight. 

7. Check the power cables between the arms and the 

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to 

arrange repairs. 

8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent 

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the 

battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from 

being damaged. 

9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells 

are at similar voltage levels and stay at the same level 

when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain 

voltage levels above 3. 7V but any cell is 0.2V higher 

or lower than the others, contact OJI for analysis. You 

can also check the battery cell warning history. If any 

warning are reported, contact OJ I. 

11. Checking the Transformation System 

1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm 

that the connection points are still in good condition. 

2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support 

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is 

discovered. Clean the lead screws with W0-40 spray 

if they show signs of rust. 

3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation. 

if there is abnormal noise. it may indicate that the 

servomotors worn. 

4. After the landing gear rises. check the lead screws 

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and 

grease the bearings. 

5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches. 

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact 

OJI Support to arrange repairs. 

Ill. Checking the Aircraft 

i. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately 

tightened. 

2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. If there is 

any reason to believe that detectable damage might 

affect flight safety, consult with OJI Support. 

3. Check the carbon tubes of the arms for damage. 

4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. If they are 

loose. secure them with 502 glue. 

5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the 

GPS module or around the antennas on the landing 

gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with 

conductive material) that might affect or block the 

signal. 

6. Check that the right and left landing gear rest at the 

same tilt angle.

IV. Checking the Motors 

1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not 

become loose. 

2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen 

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise. please 

replace the motors. This may be a sign that the 

bearings have been worn out. 

3. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Carefully 

examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the 

shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check 

for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any 

problems are detected. contact DJI Support to order 

replacement motors. 

4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap 

between the motor and motor base is even. If not 

contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 

5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor 

base are tight and the plastic components around 

the motors are in good condition. If not please 

tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any 

broken plastic components. 

V. Checking the Propellers 

1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending. 

breakage or cracking on a propeller. do not use it. 

2. Attach the propeller to the motor. turn on the aircraft. 

and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from 

the aircraft and observe the rotating propellers. If you 

can see two distinct propeller outline layers. when 

looking at a spinning propeller from the side. this 

propeller is damaged and should not be used. 

VI. Checking the IMU 

1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition of the IMU 

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please 

place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a 

flat. stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, 

support the aircraft with four objects of equal 

height). Do not touch the craft during the calibration. 

2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise 

or vibration from the fan located on the front of the 

aircraft. If any irregularity is detected, replace the 

fan. 

VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System 

1. Check the 4 antennas on the landing gear to ensure 

that they are secure. Also check for any bending or 

damage. 

2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for 

damage 

3. Check the neck strap for damage or wear, replace 

if necessary. 

VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 

1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a 

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal 

fails to initialize when turned on. fails to work after 

initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app 

(while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount 

connector may be worn. In this case, replace the 

rubber mat, circuit board. and/or connector on the 

gimbal quick-mount. 

2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount 

connector board, if any contact is bent. replace 

the quick-mount connector. 

3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount 

connector board, if there is any dirt, rub it clean 

with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it 

should be replaced. 

4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize 

itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates. 

contact DJI to arrange repairs. 

5. listen for any abnormal noise from the ian when 

the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual 

vibration and the fan should be replaced. 

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 

1. Check the lens of the camera. If any dirt or residue 

is detected, gently clean the lens. 

2. Check for and remove objects that might block the 

sensors. 

3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely 

installed on the aircraft. 

4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold 

the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich 

patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change 

the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller 

and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an 

altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is 

active, the Vision Positioning System should function 

normally.

2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

(1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges- (40%-50%)-0%-100%--{40%-50%). 

(4} Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

:\): Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

[ 6 Preparing the Range Extender 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 61etters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App .

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide 

to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn 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 category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on board compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. 

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Preflight Checklist 

(1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. 

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly. 

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

(5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed. 

(7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. 

(8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. 

(9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 

(10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

[ 1 Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to 

electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, 

parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

1.1 Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more 

details.

:\): If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App's camera page. It will 

disappear after successful calibration. 

1.2 When to Recalibrate 

(1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. 

(2) Flying in different location to last flight. 

(3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. 

(4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

[ 2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the 

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously . 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There are two methods to stop the motors. 

Figure 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. 

Release both sticks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds.

0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. 

:\): o Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors starUstop. 

o Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push 

the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

[ 3 Flight Test 

3.1 Take off/Landing Procedures 

(1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 

(2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. 

(3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. 

(4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, 

it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. 

(5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18} for more details. 

(6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. 

(7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. 

(8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the 

motors stop. 

(9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller.

Flight 

6 • When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function( Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

( 1) Work through the check list before each flight. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. 

(3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 

(5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

[ 4 Failsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

EEJ Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Controller is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Right Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

• The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites 

detected for more than 20 seconds. 

• When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft's position and altitude if the remote 

controller signal is recovered. 

• Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set 

return home altitude value in Phant9m Assistant to avoid hitting vertical obstacles through DJI Phantom Assistant. 

Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote Controller from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current 

aircraft position as a new home point. Rear LED flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful.

[ 6 Flight Limits 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) 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, 

distance limits and No Fly Zones. · 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

rn Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

Step 3 Preview a Mission: 

Tap "Done" to preview the mission when all waypoints are set. A prompt similar to the one below will appear. 

This prompt lists all waypoints and their altitudes. The aircraft will fly to each waypoint listed. If there is a difference in 

altitude between waypoints. the aircraft will adjust its altitude as it flies between points. When ready, tap "GO" to begin 

mission. 

& Aircraft reacts differently to the "GO" command: 

• If aircraft is on the ground, the aircraft takes off automatically and ascend 16 feet (5m) then fly to the first 

waypoint. 

• If aircraft is in the air, the aircraft flies to the first waypoint. 

Step 4 Executing Flight Mission 

The aircraft flies to each waypoint in numerical order. As it flies. swipe back into the DJI Vision app camera GUI to

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the 

CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

to re-record the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks 

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to OJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and 

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you 

are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1 080i60 video files.

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi Extender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.1 0 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes. user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If OJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.

Aircraft 

I Flight, Cont~<;>llpr-· ., '?-·: 

The Inspire 1'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 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 (Altitude): 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 infonnation 

aboutiOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

~ Use the Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Right 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more infonnation. 

[Flight Status Indicator 

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEOs are shown in the figure below:

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Right 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 GO 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 GO app, and is described 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 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]I'NO 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.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to lhe right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice thai the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. 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 will hover in place. 

e 

Lf:::. The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to 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: 

• Rying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white. pure red, pure green). 

• Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Rying at high speeds( over Bm/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). 

• Rying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Rying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Rying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. 

• Rlying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. 

• Rying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Rying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 

• Rlying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Rlying over inclined surfaces that will 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. 

:tj: • 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. 

• 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 1001ux). 

• 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 Recorder 

Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to 

these data through the DJI GO app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance. aircraft status 

information, speed, and other parameters. 

[Attaching and Detaching the Propellers

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 4.35 V before each flight. 

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

temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying in environments with temperatures 

between soc and -10°C, the Intelligent Right 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 GO 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 Right Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature 

exceeds soc before using it in the low temperature environment. 

S. 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. 

& 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.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

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-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 

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 Right Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI GO app, 

enter the 'Camera' page, tap 'MODE', and then activate 'Multiple Right Mode' .

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains 

constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the 

Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a 

second remote controller. 

The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a RrstPerson-View flying experience. 

The Gimbal's motion is independent of the aircraft's orientation. One user 

alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is 

required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. 

Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation 

by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain 

unchanged during the re-alignment. 

& . Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) 

Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open 

ground and protect the gimbal after powering up . 

• Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The 

gimbal will recover when it dries out.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete. it is recommended to use the flight simulator to leam how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

I Flight Envjrgnment;;Bgquir~w,Mts; ~ ·~ ~:·-::~-::;- 04-t:: (,._; 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/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 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

[Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area. 

Right 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 Ry 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 Umits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance. and the user may change these settings in the

No-RyZones 

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 takEHJff 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 DJI GO app.

[Calibrating the Compass 

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very 

sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight 

performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such 

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular 

phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 

1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight 

preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap Aircraft Status 

Indicator bar in the app and select "Calibrate", then follow the on-screen instructions. 

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a 

solid green light.
