# Flight Condition Requirements

**Weather Conditions and Surrounding Environment**

**The aircraft is designed to operate in good to moderate weather conditions. To avoid collision, serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:** 

1) **Do NOT use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s,** 

**snow, rain, smog, heavy wind, hail, lightning, tornadoes or hurricanes.** 2) **Keep the aircraft at least 10 meters (30 feet) away from obstacles, people, animals, buildings, public** 

**infrastructure, trees, and bodies of water when in flight. Stay even further away from the above objects as your altitude increases.**  3) **Be EXTRA cautious when operating the aircraft indoors.**

1) Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature.

a) Be very careful when flying 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft

performance may be reduced. 2) Do NOT use the aircraft near accidents, fire, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides,

earthquakes, dust, or sandstorms.



## Interference with Flight Controller, Communications, and Positioning Systems

1) Fly in open areas. Tall buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and

block the GPS signal. 2) Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to turn off the

Wi-Fi on your mobile device. 3) Do NOT fly near areas with magnetic or radio interference. These include but are NOT limited to: high

voltage lines, large scale power transmission stations or mobile base stations and broadcasting towers.

### 13 

# Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings

**Flight Modes**

**To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule:** 1) **Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with** 

**the aircraft’s behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land the aircraft safely.** 

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious when flying in A mode.

1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states

of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately.

Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment. c) P-ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for

positioning, so only altitude is controlled.

2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. 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. 3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI designated server.



## Failsafe and Return to Home

1) The Return to Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is i nsufficient or if GPS is not active. 2 ) Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point instead of turning off the remote controller. 3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 4) Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission ran ge of the remote controller. 5) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields.

### 14 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 6) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate

Failsafe altitude before each flight. 7) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hover ing when flying above the surfaces that do

not have a clear pattern. Refer to the “Vision Positioning Syst em” section for complete indoor flying criteria.



## Low Battery

1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. 2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid

losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, p roperty, animals, and people.



## Vision Positioning System

1) The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do NOT have pattern variations.

The effective altitude for the Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 2.5 meters above ground level (AGL). 2) The Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when th e aircraft is flying over water. 3 ) Ke ep your pets away from the aircraft when the Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar

sensors emit a high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 4) Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT function proper ly when the aircraft is flying too fast or too low. 5) Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). b ) Flying over highly reflective surfaces; c) Flying at high speeds (over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter); d ) Flying over water or transparent surfaces; e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects; f ) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically; g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces; h ) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thick c arpet). i ) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture; j ) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textu res (e.g. tiles with same design); k ) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft

6) In the event of loss of the remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land

if it is in “P” mode.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
