The DJI Phantom 3 has the ability to hover and move along a vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. The DJI Phantom 3 has four electric motors and propellers powered by a 4480mAh Lithium Polymer battery
. Phantom 3 will be controlled with a remote controller with an operating frequency of 2.483GHz. The UAS will be operated in accordance with the operating limitations outlined in the Safety Guidelines and Disclaimer document attached in this petition, including all preflight and pos t flight inspections and repairs and maintenance operations
