Auto-Landing 

Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. 

Follow the steps below to use auto-landing:

1. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode.

2. Check the landing area condition before tapping “ ”, to perform landing. 

3. Aircraft lowers the landing gear and proceed to land automatically. 

Landing gear will automatically raise when the aircraft reaches an altitude of 1.2m for the frst 

time, and automatically lower every time it descends to 0.8m. Users can turn this feature ON/OFF 

in the Pilot app.

Starting/Stopping the Motors

Starting Motors

The Combination Stick Command (CSC) listed below are used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Ensure that you perform the CSC in one motion.

Flight Test 

Take off/Landing Procedures 

1. Place the aircraft on open, fat ground with battery indicators facing towards you.

2. Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery.

3. Launch the DJI Pilot App and enter the Camera page.

4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fy 

now. If it fashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off.

5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off.

Stopping Motors

There are two methods to stop the motors.

Method 1: When the Inspire 1 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. The motors will stop after 3 

seconds.

Do not perform CSC when aircraft is in midair, otherwise the motors will be stopped.

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 slowly 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 Intelligent Flight Battery frst, followed by the Remote Controller.

When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during fight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe 

mode. 

A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or 

rapidly during fight. 

Watch video tutorials about fight for more fight information.

Video Suggestions and Tips

1. Work through the checklist before each fight.

2. Select desired gimbal working mode in the DJI Pilot app.

3. Aim to shoot when fying in P mode only.

4. Always fy in good weather, such as sunny or windless days.

5. Change camera settings to suit you. These include photo format and exposure compensation.

6. Perform fight tests to establish fight routes and scenes.

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

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)

IOC allows users to lock the orientation of aircraft in different fashions. There are three working modes for 

IOC and you may select the desired IOC modes from the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works under F mode, 

and user must toggle the fight mode switch to “F” mode to activate IOC. Refer to the table below:

Course Lock (CL) Its forward direction is pointing to the nose direction when recording, which is 

fxed until you re-record it or exit from CL.

Home Lock (HL)* Record a Home Point (HP), and push Pitch stick to control the aircraft far from 

or near to the HP. 

Point of Interest (POI)* Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POI), the aircraft can circle around 

the POI, and the nose always points to the POI.

*Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon.

Prerequisites of IOC

Use the IOC feature under the following condition: 

Modes IOC GPS enabled GPS Flight Distance Limits

Course Lock No None None

Home Lock Yes Aircraft ≥10m Home Point

POI Yes Aircraft 5m~500m Point of Interest

Using IOC

Enable the IOC feature by tapping “Enable IOC” in the setting page of the DJI Pilot app. Toggle the Flight 

Mode Switch to “F” mode and follow the on-screen instruction to use IOC feature.
