- GPS flight. Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point
features ensure s the safe return of your aircraft when signal is lost. The new added flight recorder function stores the© 2014 D JI All Rights Re served 

### 18 | crucial flight data for each flights.



### 2.2 Flight Mo de Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode is listed in the table below: Flight Mode GPS Availability Remark

GPS GPS enabled G PS mode works best when GPS modules is enabled and more than 6 GPS satellites are available. Under GPS mode, there are three different

statuses:

P

- GPS: Both GPS and Optical Flow signal are optimal, using both GPS and Optical flow to implement hovering.
P

- OPTI: Optical Flow sensor signal is optimal but GPS signal is not optimal, using only Optical flow to implement hovering.
P

- ATTI: Neither GPS or Optical Flow Sensor signal is optimal, using only
barometer to stabilize aircraft’s attitude.

The aircraft automatically switch between the status depending on signal
of the GPS and Optical Flow sensor.

ATTI GPS disabled ATTI mode works when GPS is disabled and uses only barometer to
stabilize the aircraft

. Noted that Home Point is not recorded in this mode and aircraft automatically return home when signal is lost.
F G PS enabled F mode works when more than GPS satellite are available. I ntelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. User may use IOC to lock the orientation of the aircraft. For more information about the IOC, refer to “IOC”.



### 2.3 Fligh t Limits Flight l imits such as height and distance is imposed on the Ncore flight controllers. The details of these flight limites 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) 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 fu nction includes height, distance limits and No Fly Zones.© 2014 D JI All Rights Re served 

### 19 | When operating in GPS mode , height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In ATTI mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m.
Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius lim its flying height and distance, user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App . Once complete, your Inspire 1 wil l fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show

## 6 Flight Once pre

- flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Pilot Training Guide t o prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location.



### 6.1 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 onboard 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 transmissi on 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.



### 6.2 Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Control, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are full y charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Camera lens cap has been removed. (5) Micro

- SD card has been inserted if necessary. (6) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (7) Motors can start and are function ing as normal. (8) DJI Pilot App can connect to the camera.


### 6.3 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 co mpass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.

(1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structu res, and steel reinforcements underground. (2) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones.© 2014 D JI All Rights Re served 

### 55 |

(3) DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.

6.3.1 Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to ca rry out the following procedures. NOTE: Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap STATUS in the app and select “Compass Cali bration” to calib rate the compass. Then follow the on

- screen instructions. 1

. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally for 360 degree, the Aircraft Status Indicator shows solid green.

2

. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, rotate 360 degree aroun d the center axis until the Aircraft Status Indicator shows solid purple.

6.3.2 When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the Aircraft Status Indicator will blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight.© 2014 D JI All Rights Re served 

### 56 | (3) Mechan ical 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.



### Starting/Stopping the Motors
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.

Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors.
Met hod 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.

Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control.
Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop.
Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will l ock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock.



### 6.4 Flight Test
Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the aircraft on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the remote controller and mobile device, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI Pilot App and start link it with your mobile device then enter th e C amera page. (4) Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks purple. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly now. If it flashes yellow , it means no Home Point is recorded, user should not take off the aircraft. (5) Push the throttle up s lowly to take off

. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI Pilot App

. (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 follow by the Remote Contro l l er

When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. A low battery level warning i s indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. View tutorials about flight for more flight information.

Video Suggestions and Tips (1) Work through the check list before each flight. (2) Select desired gimbal working mode in the DJI Pilot App

. (3) Aim to shoot when flying in GPS mode 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 fl ight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.
