## 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11067, and 

## 11080are all previouslygrantedpetitionsto allowoperation ofUASs for the samepurpose ofaerialphotographyand cinematography.This Exemption should qualifyfor summaryprocessingas the FAA has alreadygiven publicnotice ofand grantedsimilar exemptions. 

## Description ofUAS, Operation, andEnvironmentinaccordancewith Section 333 Requirements: In accordancewith Section 

## 333 ofthe Reform Act, the UASs usedbyFBAP wouldnotcreate a hazardto users ofthe NationalAirspace System ("NAS") orthepublic orpose a threatto national securityin lightof the following:
• The UASs' size, weight, speed,and operation capability; • Operation ofthe UASs in close proximityto airports and populated areas; and, • Operation ofthe UASs withinvisualline ofsight ("VLOS") ofthe operator FBAP's UASs are rotorcraft, weighing

## 55 lbs. orless includingpayload.Theyoperate,undernormal conditions ata speed ofno morethan

## 45 miles perhourandtheyhavethe capabilityto hover, and move inthevertical and horizontal planes simultaneously. Theywill operate ataltitudes ofno morethan

## 400 feetabove ground level ("AGL") andtheywill operate onlywithinVLOS ofthe pilotin command ("PIC'} FBAP will onlyoperatethe UASs within a controlled access area as describedin detailinthe Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. Operationsin compliancewiththe Flight Operations and Procedures Manual and UAS User Manuals will ensurethattheUASs will notcreatea hazardto users ofthe NAS or the public and thatthe UASs will operatein compliance withthe conditions setforth in this application. 

## EquivalentLevel ofSafetyandLimitations/Conditions: FBAP proposes thatthe exemptionrequested herein applyto civil aircraftthathavethe characteristics andthatoperatewiththelimitationslisted herein. These limitations providefor atleastan equivalentor even higherlevel ofsafetyto operationsunderthe currentregulatorystructurebecausethe proposed operations representa safetyenhancementtothe alreadysafe filming operations conductedwith conventional aircraft. These limitationsand conditions are verysimilarto ortaken directlyfrom exemptionsgranted tofilm companies. The limitations and conditions to which FBAP agrees tobeboundwhen conductingcommercial operations under an FAA issued exemptioninclude: 

## 1. The UAS will weigh lessthan 

## 55 pounds, including energysources(s) and equipment. Operations will belimitedto the aircraftdescribed in the confidential FlightOperationsand Procedures Manual andUAS User Manuals attached as Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4. 2. The UAS will notbe flown ata ground speed exceeding

## 45 miles perhour. 2 of8

## 3. Flights will be operated atan altitude ofno more than400feetAGL as indicated by the procedures specified inthe FlightOperations and Procedures Manual. All altitudes reportedto Air Traffic Control ("ATC") willbein feetAGL. 4. The UAS will be operatedwithinVLOS ofthe PIC atall times. This requires the PIC tobe able to usehumanvision unaidedbyany device otherthan corrective lenses. 5. All operations will utilize a visual observer ("VO''). TheVO maybeusedto satisfytheVLOS requirementas longas the PIC always maintainsVLOS capability. TheVO and PIC will be able to communicateverballyatall times asindicatedbythe proceduresin the FlightOperations and Procedures Manual. The UAS will bewithinVLOS oftheVO atall timesandtheVO will only use humanvision unaided byanydevice otherthan corrective lenses. 6. FBAP will follow the FlightOperations and Procedures Manual and the UAS User Manuals ("Manuals") as acceptedbythe FAA. Any additional requirements identified in the final conditions for this exemptionwill be adheredto byFBAP andaddedto the Manuals. The Manuals will be maintained andmadeavailable to the Administratorupon request. IfFBAP determinesthatany update orrevision would affectthebasis ofthis exemption,then FBAP will petitionfor amendmentto the exemption. FBAP will presentupdated andrevised documents ifitpetitions for extension oramendment. 7. Priorto eachflightthe PIC will inspectthe UAS to ensureitis in a condition for safe flight. Ifthe inspection reveals a condition thataffectsthe safe operation ofthe UAS, the aircraftwill not operate until the necessarymaintenance has beenperformed andthe UAS is found tobein a condition for safe flight. The ground controlsystems will beincludedin thepreflightinspection. All maintenance and alterations will beproperlydocumented in the aircraftrecords. 8. 

## Any UAS thathas undergone maintenance oralternations thataffectthe UAS operation orflight characteristics, e.g. replacementofa flight critical component,will undergo a functional testflight in accordance withthe Manuals. The PIC who conducts the functional testflight will make an entry ofthe flight inthe UAS' aircraftrecords. 9. FBAP andthe PIC will 

## followthe UAS aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limitrequirements.UAS maintenance/component/overhaul,replacement, and inspection/maintenancerequirementshavebeen established and described in the Manuals. 10.The PIC will possess atleasta sportpilotcertificate and atleasta valid driver's license. The PIC will also meetthe flight reviewrequirements specified in 14C.F.R. § 

## 61.56 in an aircraftin which the PIC is rated on his/herpilotcertificate. 11.Priorto operations conductedfor aerialphotographyand cinematography,the PIC will have accumulated andlogged, in a mannerconsistent with 14C.F.R. § 

## 61.51(b), a minimum of200flight cycles and 25 hours oftotaltime as a UAS rotorcraftpilotand atleast 10hours logged as a UAS pilotwith a similarUAS type (single blade ormultirotor). Prior documented flightexperiencethat was obtainedin compliance with applicable regulations willbe usedto satisfythisrequirement. Training, proficiency, and experience-buildingflights may also be conductedunderthis grantof exemption to accomplish therequiredflight cycles andflighttime. Duringtraining, proficiency, and experience-buildingflights, all persons notessentialfor flight operations will be considered non-participants, andthe PIC will operatethe UAS withappropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.119. 3 

## of8

## 12.Priorto operations conducted for the purpose ofaerial photographyand cinematography, the PIC will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistentwith 14C.F.R. § 

## 61.51(b), a minimum of five hours as UAS pilotoperatingthe make andmodel ofUAS to be utilized for operationsunder the exemption andthree takeoffs andlandings in thepreceding90 days. Training. proficiency, experiencebuilding, andtakeoffand landingcurrencyflights can be conducted underthis grantof exemption to accomplish therequiredflighttime and90 day currency. Duringtraining, proficiency, experiencebuilding. andtakeoffand landingcurrencyflights all persons notessential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, andthePIC will operatetheUAS with appropriate distancefrom nonparticipants in accordance with 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.119. 13. Priorto anyflight operations authorizedbythis grantofexemption, the PIC andVO will have successfully completed a qualification process as outlined in the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. As thisis a requirementstipulatedbyFBAP, thetestwill be developed andimplemented by FBAP. Arecord ofcompletion ofthis qualification processwill be documented andmade availableto theAdministratorupon request. 14. Priorto operationsconducted for aerial photographyand cinematography, a flight demonstration, administeredby PIC will be successfully completed and documented. This documentationwill be available for reviewupon requestbytheAdministrator. Becausethe knowledge andairmanship testqualifications have been developed by FBAP, FBAP will conductthese testsin accordance with the FlightOperations and Procedures Manual. 15.The UAS maynotbe operated directly overanyperson, exceptauthorized and consenting production personnel, belowanaltitude thatis hazardousto persons orpropertyonthe surface in the eventofa UAS failure oremergency. 16. Regardingthe distance from a participatingperson,the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual includes safetymitigations for authorized and consentingproductionpersonnel.Atall times, those personswill be essentialto the access controlled areas offilm operations. Becausethese procedures are specificto participatingpersons,no furtherFlightStandards DistrictOffices ("FSDO") orAviation Safety Inspector ("ASI") approvalis necessaryfor reductionstothe distances specified in the attached Flight Operations andProceduresManual. This is consistentwith the manned aircraftprocedures described in FAA Order 8900.1,V3, C8, S1 Issue a Certificate ofWaiver forMotion Picture and Television Filming. 

## 17. Regardingdistance from nonparticipatingpersons, the operatorwill ensurethatno persons are allowed within 400feet ofthearea exceptthose consentingto be involved and necessaryfor the filming production. This provisionmaybereduced to no less than 200 feetifitwouldnot adversely affect safety and theAdministratorhas approvedit. Forexample, an equivalentlevel of safetymaybe determinedby an aviation safetyinspector's evaluation ofthefilming production areatonoteterrainfeatures, obstructions,buildings, safetybarriers, etc. Such barriersmay protectnon-participatingpersons (observers, the public, news media, etc.) from debris in the eventofan accident. This is also consistentwiththe same FAA order 8900.1,V3, C8, S1. 18. IftheUAS loses communications orloses its Global Positioning System (GPS) signal, theUAS will be programmedto return to a pre-determinedlocation withinthe securityperimeterandland or be recovered in accordance withthe Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. 19. The UAS will aborttheflight in the eventofunpredicted obstacles oremergenciesin accordance with theFlightOperations and ProceduresManual. 4of8

## 20. Each UAS operation will be completedwithin 30 minutes flighttime orwith 25%batterypower remaining, whicheveroccurs first. 21. The operatorwill obtain anAir Traffic Organization ("ATO") issued certificate ofWaiver or Authorization ("COA'j priorto conductinganyoperations over 200 feetAGL. The operatorwill requesta Notice toAirman ("NOTAM") notmore than 72 hours in advance,butnotless than 48 hours priorto the operation. FBAP plansto conductmostflights under200 feetAGL to comply withtheblanketCOA approval. 22.All aircraftoperatedin accordance withthis exemption will be identifiedbyserial number, registered in accordance with 14C.F.R. part45 and have identification (N-Number) markings in accordancewith 14C.F.R. part45, SubpartC. Markings will be as large as practicable. 23. The operatorwill documentand maintain a record ofthe UAS maintenance, preventative maintenance, alterations, status ofreplacement/overhaul componentparts, andthe totaltime in service ofthe UAS as detailed in the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. 24. Each UAS will comply with all manufacturersafetybulletins and firmware updates. 25. FBAP has developed UAS technician qualification criteriaas detailed in the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. 26. The preflightinspection accounts for all discrepancies, i.e. inoperable components, items, or equipment, notcoveredin therelevantpreflightinspection sections ofthe FlightOperations and Procedures Manual. 27. The radio frequency spectrumusedfor operation and control ofthe UAS complies with Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") or otherappropriate governmentoversightagency requirements. 28. The documents required under 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.9 and§ 91.203 will be available to the PIC atthe ground control stationofthe UAS anytime the aircraftis operating. These documents will be made available to theAdministrator oranylawenforcementofficial uponrequest. 29. The UAS will remain clear andyield therightofwayto all othermanned operations and activities atall times (including, butnotlimitedto, ultralightvehicles, parachuteactivities, parasailing activities, hanggliders, etc.). 30. UAS operations will notbe conducted duringnight, as defined in 14C.F.R. § 

## 1.1. All operationswill be conducted undervisual meteorological conditions ("VMC"). Flights under specialvisual flight rules ("SVFR") are notauthorized. 31. The UAS will notbe operatedbythe PIC from anymovingdevice orvehicle. 32. The UAS will notbe operatedless than 500 feetbeloworlessthan 2,000 feet horizontallyfrom a cloud orwhen visibility is less than 3 

## statutemiles from the PIC. 33. The UAS will notoperatein Class B, C, orDairspace withoutwritten approval from the FAA. The UAS will notoperatewithin 

## 5nautical miles ofthe geographic center ofa non-towered airportas denoted on a currentFAA published aeronautical chartunless a letter ofagreementwiththe 

## 5 of8

## airport'smanagementis obtained, andthe operationis conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as requiredbythe operator's COA. The letterofagreementwiththe airportmanagementwillbe made available to theAdministratorupon request. 34.Any 1) incident, 2) accident, or 3) flight operationthattransgressesthe lateral orvertical boundaries ofthe operationalarea as defined bythe applicable COAwillbereportedto the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24hours.Accidents willbereportedtothe National Transportation SafetyBoard ("NTSB") perinstructions contained on the NTSB website: www.ntsb.gov. Furtherflightoperationswill notbe conducted until the incident, accident, or transgressionis reviewedbyAFS-80 and authorizationtoresume operations is provided. Unless otherwise specified in this grantofexemption, the UAS, the UAS PIC, andthe UAS operationsmust complywith all applicable parts of 14C.F.R. including, butnotlimitedto, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91. 14C.F.R § 

## 61.315 (c) SportPilotPrivilegesandLimitations: Pilotin Command Section 61.315 (c) limits sportpilotsto non-commercial operations. Becausethe UAS will notcarrya pilotorpassengers,the proposed operations can achieve the equivalentlevel ofsafetyofcurrent operationsbyrequiringthe PIC operatingtheaircraftto have a sportpilot's license ratherthan a commercial pilot's license to operate small UASs. Unlike conventional aircraftthatcarries thepilotand passengers,the UASs are remotelycontrolledwith no livingthingonboard. The areaofoperationis controlled andrestricted and all flights areplanned and coordinatedin advance as described in the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. The level ofsafetyprovidedbytherequirements included in the FlightOperations and Procedures Manual exceeds thatprovidedbya single individual holdinga commercial pilot's certificate operatinga conventional aircraft. The risks associated withthe operation of the UAS are so diminishedfrom the level ofriskassociated with commercial operations contemplatedby Part61 when drafted, thatallowingoperations ofthe UASs as requestedwith a sportpilotasthe PIC exceeds the presentlevel ofsafety achievedby 14C.F.R. § 

## 61.315 (c). The FAA has granted similar exemptions forprivate pilots to conductsimilar operationsin Exemptions 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, and 11080. 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.119:Minimum SafeAltitudes Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation ofcivil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicoptersto be operatedatlessthanthe minimumsprescribed, providedthe person operatingthe helicopter complies with anyroute oraltitudes prescribed for helicoptersbythe FAA. As this exemption is for a UAS thatis a rotorcraftand the exemption requests authorityto operateataltitudes up to 400feet AGL, ornotmore than 200 above an elevated platformfrom whichfilming is planned, an exemption may be neededto allow such operations.As setforth herein, exceptfor the limited conditions statedin the FlightOperations and Procedures Manual, theUAS will neveroperate higherthan400 feetAGL. Itwill howeverbe operatedin an access controlled area,wherebuildings andpeople will notbe exposed to operations withouttheirpre-obtained consent.The equivalentlevel ofsafetywill beachieved given the size, weight, speed ofthe UAS as well as the location where itis operated.No flight will be takenwithout the permission ofthepropertyownerorlocal officials. Because ofthe advance notice to the property ownerand participants in thefilming activity, all affected individuals willbe aware ofthe plannedflight operations as setforth in the Flight Operations and Procedures Manual. Comparedto flight operations with aircraftorrotorcraftweightingfar morethanthe maximum 55 lbs. proposedherein and the lackof flammable fuel, any riskassociated withthese operations is far lessthan those presentlypresentedwith conventional aircraftoperatingatorbelow400 feetAGL in the movie industry. In addition, the lowaltitude operations ofthe UAS will ensure separationbetweenthese smallUAS operationsand the operations ofconventional aircraftthatmustcomplywith Section 91.119.

## 14C.F.R. § 

## 9.121:Altimeter Settings This regulationrequires eachpersonoperatingan aircraftto maintain cruisingaltitude byreference to an altimeterthatis set"
... to the elevation ofthe departure airportoran appropriatealtimeter setting availablebefore departure."As the UAS maynothave a barometricaltimeter, butinstead a GPS altitude read outan exemptionmaybe needed.An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be achievedbythe operator, pursuantto the Flight Operations and Procedures Manuat confirmingthe altitude ofthe launchsite shown on the GPS altitude indicatorbefore flight. 

## 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.151 (a): Fuel Requirementsfor FlightinVFR Conditions Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individualfrom beginning "a flight in an airplane underVFR conditions unless (consideringwind and forecastweatherconditions) there is enough fuel to fly to thefirstpointof intended landing, and, assumingnormal cruisingspeed- (1) Duringthe day, to fly afterthatfor atleast30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthatfor atleast45 minutes." The batterypoweringthe UAS provides a maximum of40 minutes ofpoweredflight To meetthe 30-minutereserverequirementin 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.151,UAS flights wouldbelimitedto approximately 10 minutes in length. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposedflight areaandthe location ofits proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longertime frame for flight in daylightornightVFR conditions is reasonable. FBAP believesthatan exemption from 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.151 (a) falls withinthe scope ofpriorexemptions. See Exemption 10673 (allowingLockheed Martin Corporation to operatewithoutcompliance with FAR 91.151 (a)). Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled areawhere only people andpropertyowners orofficial representativeswho have signed waivers will be allowed, withless than 30 minutes ofreservefuel, does notengenderthetype ofrisks thatSection 91.151 (a) was intendedto alleviate given the size and speed ofthe smallUAS. Additionally, limitingUAS flights to 10minuteswouldgreatlyreducetheutility for whichthe exemption willbe granted. FBAP believes thatan equivalentlevel ofsafetycan be achievedby limitingflights to 30 minutes or 25% ofbatterypowerwhicheverhappens first. This restrictionwouldbe morethan adequateto return the UAS to its planned landingzone from anywherein its limited operating area. Similar exemptions have beengrantedto otheroperations, includingExemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, 10808, 11062, 11063, 11065, 11066, 11067, and 11080. 

## 14C.F.R. § 

## 91.405 (a); 407 (a) 

## (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & 

## (b): MaintenanceInspections These regulations require thatan aircraftoperatororowner "shall have thataircraftinspected as prescribedin subpartEofthis partand shallbetweenrequired inspections, exceptasprovidedin paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired asprescribed in part43 ofthis chapter
..."and others shall inspectormaintainthe aircraftin compliance with Part43. Given thatthese sections and Part43 apply onlyto aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sectionswill notapplyto FBAP. An equivalentlevel ofsafetywill be achievedbecause these small UASs are verylimited in size andwill carry a small payload and operate onlyin restricted areasfor limited periods oftime. Ifmechanicalissues arise the UAS can land immediatelyand will be operatingfrom no higherthan 400 feetAGL. As detailed in the FlightOperations and Procedures Manuatthe operatorwill ensurethatthe UAS is in workingorderprior toinitiatingflight, will performrequired maintenance, andwill keep a log ofanymaintenanceperformed. Moreover, the operatoris the personmostfamiliar with the aircraftandbestsuitedto maintainthe aircraftin an airworthyconditiontoprovide the equivalentlevel ofsafety. The FAA has granted exemptionsfor similar operations in Exemptions 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11067, and 11080. Approval ofexemptions allowingcommercial operations ofUASs in the aerialphotographyand cinematographywill enhance safetybyreducingrisk. Conventionalfilm operations, usingjetorpiston powered aircraft, operate atextremelylowaltitudesjustfeetfrom the subjectbeingfilmed and in extremeproximityto people and structures; andpresentthe risks associatedwith aircraftthatweigh in the neighborhood of4,000 lbs., carryinglarge amounts ofjetA 

## orotherfuel (140 gallons forjet helicopters shownbelow). Such aircraftmustfly to and from thefilm location. In contrast, a UAS 7 of8

## weighingfewerthan 55 lbs. andpoweredbybatteries eliminatesvirtuallyall ofthatriskgiven the reduced mass and lackofcombustible fuel carried on board.The UAS is carriedto the film setandnot flown. The UAS will carryno passengers orcrew; therefore,itwill notexposethem to therisks associated with manned aircraftflights. The operation ofsmall UASs, weightingless than 55 lbs., conducted in the strictconditions outlined above, will provide an equivalentlevel ofsafetysupportingthe grantofthe exemptionsrequestedherein. These lightweightaircraftoperate atslowspeeds, closetothe ground, and in a sterile environmentand, as a result, are far saferthan conventional operations conductedwithturbinehelicopters operatingin close proximityto the groundand people. All flights will occuroverprivate orcontrolled access propertywiththe propertyowner's priorconsent andknowledge. Filmingwill be ofpeople whohave also consentedto beingfilmed orotherwisehave agreedto be inthe areawhere filming will takeplace. FBAP satisfies the criteria articulatedin Section 333 ofthe Reform Act of2012. As a resultofthe UASs' size, weight, speed, and operationalcapabilityas well as the PICs airman certificate, experience, and operatingprocedures including, butnotlimitedto, appropriate proximityto airports, operatingwithin access controlled areas, andmaintainingvisual line ofsight, FBAP does notcreate a hazardto users ofthe national airspace orthepublic orpose a threatto national security. In consideration ofthe foregoing, this Petition for Exemption provides the FAA with morethan adequatejustificationfor grantingthe requested exemptions allowing FBAP to commercially operate UASs for aerial photographyand cinematography. FBAP thanksyou for yourtime and promptconsideration oftherequested exemptions. Please do not hesitateto contactFBAP shouldyou have anyquestions orshouldyou require anyadditional information to supporttherequested exemptions. Sincerely,

### 1.1 Built-in Flight Control System Instructions The built-in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft's functions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards), Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (tum left or right). The flight controller contains the MC (Main Controller), IMU, GPS, compass, receiver. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in orderto lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote controller and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modules together. The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant, by choosing Naza-M mode or Phantom 2 mode.

This manual is for Phantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza-M V2 Quick Start Manual for more information. 

### 1.2 Connections with Other DJI Products PHANTOM 2 is compatible with other DJI products, including ZENMUSE H3-2D and H3-3D gimbal 1 iOSD mini 1 iOSD Mark II. Below are connections for these products and wireless video transmission module.

# -------Important Notes of Using with Other DJI Products ( 1 ) The video cable can provide power for the wireless video transmission module with a battery voltage (11.1V-l2.6V) and a maximum current 2A. 

### ( 2 ) Make sure the working current of the wireless video transmission module you connect can work with an operational voltage between ll.lV-l2.6V and the total working current of the iOSD and wireless video transmission module is under 2A, as an overcurrent will damage the central board's components. If the total current exceeds

### 2A. please be sure to provide power supplied from a separate power source for the wireless video transmission module. ( 3 ) PHANTOM 2 uses a 2.4GHz RC system. To avoid communication inte1ference, it's not recommended to
use other 2.4GHz devices (including 2.4G Wi-Fi or 2.4G wireless video transmission module) except the 2.4G Bluetooth and 2.4G Datalink. ( 4 ) Be sure to keep the wireless video transmission module and other communicating devices away from the compass during installation and connection to avoid interference. 

### ( 5) To improve the compatibility with ZENMUSE gimbals, the latest factory deliveries of PHANTOM 2 has updated to the Version 2 shown below. H3-2D/H3-3D gimbal can be directly installed for the Version 

### 2 while for Version 1, a H3-3D adapter kit (coming soon) is required to install the H3-3D gimbal.

Figure 1-4 

### ( 6 ) When using the H3-3D gimbal, please connect the 8-Pin cable of PHANTOM

### 6.3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures

1. Start by placing the PHANTOM 2 on the ground with the battery level indicators facing you. 2. Turn on the remote controller. 3. Power on the aircraft byturning on the intelligent battery. 4. When LED flight indicator blinks green/yellow, the PHANTOM 2 is entering Ready to Fly/Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. Start the motors with the CSC command. 5. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to <Remote Controller Operation> for more details. 6. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into ©2013-2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.24 

## Iplace and the aircraft will descend steadily. 7. After landing, leave the throttle stick down for 3 to 5 seconds to stop the motors. Return throttle stick to middle position after the motors have stopped. 

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the

# L aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without anytype of control. ( l ) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function> for details. 

### ( 2 ) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Referto the <Low Battery CapacityWarning Function> for details. ( 3 ) Watch the quick start video aboutflight for more flight information. 

## 'J •• ( 4 ) 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. ( 5 ) When used with a H3-3D gimbal, a GoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2 will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 

### 2**prope~~r** guards atthis weight.**Oth,:_~e** aircraft will be unable to fly normally. 

## 6.4 Failsafe Function I 

# I

The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries ordamage. The following situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode: ( l ) The remote controller is powered off. 

### ( 2 ) The remote controller is powered on but the Sl is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in the PHANTOM 

### 2 Assistant). ( 3 ) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range ofthe remote controller. 

### ( 4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. 

### ( 5 ) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.

Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. Ready to Fly (non-GPS) ---Automatic landing

The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may be drifting 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.
©2013-2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.25 

## I

### Home Point When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.

the remote controller signal is recovered. In Phantom 2 mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in "Readyto fly" status
as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controller from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position
as a new home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks
on the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of "home point" is: ( l ) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 returns to when the control signal is lost, which is recorded last time.

### 6.5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears,
users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 has two levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the second appears when it has less than 15% power. ( 1 ) When battery powerdrops below 30% and LED indicator will blink red slowly. ( 2 ) At lower than 15% the LED indicator will blink red rapidly, the PHANTOM 2 will also begin to descend and land automatically. After it has landed, keep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC. ( 3 ) There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V
as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pushing up on the throttle stick. ( 1 ) Remember to fly your PHANTOM 2 back as soon as you see a low battery capacity warning. 

# 'l (2 ) Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may cause a communication failure.


### 6.6 Flight limits Function All UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and per country 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. In Ready to Fly status, height, distance limits works together to restrict the flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) status, only height limit works and the flying height restricted to be not over 120m. (1) The default parameters in the Assistant is compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace Classification to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure the parameters to comply with these rules too, before using the PHANTOM 2. (2) Users in Mainland China can refer to**J%fflJim~~f9X1~ffl!iJi!.** Max Height

### & Radius Limits The Max Height & Radius restricts the flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the PHANTOM 2 Assistant. Once complete, your aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder.

## This chapter describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

# Aircraft

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on OJI 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 datafor each flight.

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P modeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe 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
.

• (/. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

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]two 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.

### INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Follow the steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that 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 1will hover in place. 

## ,& 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 ofthe following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective 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 ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill 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. :\): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may not function properlywhen 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 1 OOiux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of40 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 audibleto some animals.

### P mode (Positioning): P modeworks best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe 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 (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 Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, enterthe "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode"

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how 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 1Om/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 ofwater. 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 ofthese 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 Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogether to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height

### No-Fly Zones 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 take-off andflight 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 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 Pilot app.INSPIRE 1 User Manual

No-flyzone Restricled-aftltude flight zone Warning zone Restricted Areas: (1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight altitude restriction. (2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within this zone. The value of Rvaries depending on the definition ofthe Restricted Area. (3) A "warning zone" has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 km) ofthis zone, a warning message will appear in the OJI Pilot app.
