Flight Status Indicator

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

LEDs are shown in the gure below:

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the

Rear LED displays solid green.

Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the ight controller. Refer to the table below for more

information about the Aircraft Status Indicator:

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Inspire 1 Pro’s ight controller is based on DJI ight controller with several enhancements such

as new ight 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

ight recorder stores crucial ight data for each ight.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight 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 Pro 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.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on P29 for more information.

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 Pro can hover in place

more precisely and y 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 Pro, including [1]two

sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning

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

when no GPS is available.

INSPIRE 1PRO User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the gure to the right:

2. Place the Inspire 1 Pro on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning

system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations.

3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. The aircraft status indicator will ash twice in green

light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the

throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 Pro will hover in place.

The performance of your Inspire 1 Pro’s Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are

ying 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:

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

Flying over a highly reective surfaces.

Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter).

Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

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

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

Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

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

Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect 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.

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 ying over water.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100lux).

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.

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

This chapter describes the flight safety

and ight restrictions.
50 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the ight simulator to learn how to y

safely. Ensure that all ights 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 10m/s ,

snow, rain and smog.

2. Only y 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 ying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft

performance may be reduced.

6. The Inspire 1 Pro cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these ight 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 ight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and

legally. The ight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones.

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage ight. In A

mode only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limit ying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI

GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 Pro will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

Max Radius No limits

If you y out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1 Pro, but cannot y it further.

If the Inspire 1 Pro ies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will y back

within range automatically.

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI ofcial website at http://ysafe.dji.com/no-y. No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and ying elds 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 take-off and ight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the ight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The ight altitude is limited to 1640

feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

in the DJI GO app.

Restricted Areas:

(1) Restricted Areas do not have a ight altitude restriction.

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the denition of the Restricted Area.

(3) A “warning zone” has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1

km) of this zone, a warning message will appear in the DJI GO app.

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 ight

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

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-ight

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.

INSPIRE 1PRO User Manual

3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center

axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a

different location to carry out compass calibration.

Calibrate the compass before each ight. Launch DJI GO App, follow the on-screen instruction

to calibrate the compass.

When to Recalibrate

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow.

2. When ying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last ight.

3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 Pro has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of

the compass.

4. When severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. the Inspire 1 Pro does not y in straight lines.

Auto Take-off and Auto Landing

Auto Take-off

Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking

green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off:
