# Aircraft
The flight controller provides stability, safetyand control to the Phantom 3Standard. The supported flight modes are designed to optimize aircraft control for different conditions and purposes. Theflight controller allows the aircraftto automatically Return-to-Home (RTH) ifthe remote controller signal is lost (i.e. Failsafe RTH) orwhen instructed to bythe pilot (i.e. Smart RTH), ensuring the safe return ofyour aircraft. Flight data is stored to the device everytime you fly and can be accessed anytime.
Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-Mode (Positioning): P-Mode works bestwhen the GPS signal is strong. One of its two states will be selected bythe aircraft automatically depending on GPS signal strength. P-GPS: GPS is available. The aircraft uses GPSfor positioning. P-ATTI: GPS is not available. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. A-Mode (Attitude): GPS is not used for positioning, and the aircraftonly uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If aGPS signal is present, the aircraftwill still return to the last recorded Home Point ifthe remote controller signal is lost. F-Mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is supported in this mode. Referto the IOC section in the Appendixfor more information. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P-Mode by default. To enable otherflight modes, go to the DJI GO app > CameraView >



### ~ >Advanced Settings > Enable Multiple Flight Modes.
The Phantom 3 Standard has two Front LEDs located under the two front motors and two Aircraft Status Indicators located underthe two rear motors.

Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED

The Front LEDs glowsolid red when the aircraft is turned on and help you orientate the aircraftwhen it is in the air. You can switch offthe Front LEDs in the DJI GO app to achieve abetterfilming result. The Aircraft Status Indicators indicate the status oftheflight controller. See the table belowfor details of its blinking patterns.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you usethe flight simulator in the DJI GO appto practiceflying or have an experienced pilot accompanyyou for supervision. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.

1. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions including rain, snow, fog, and wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid flying near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees and bodies ofwater. 4. Avoid flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying over 19685 feet (6000 m) above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. , 6. The Phantom 3 Standard cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth's polar regions.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide bythe regulations from self-regulatory organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and their local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by defaultto help users use this product safely and legally. When operating the aircraft in P-Mode, the altitude limit, radius limit and No Fly Zones work together to bound the aircraft. In A-Mode, the aircraft cannot exceed altitudes of 400 feet (120m). 

### Altitude and Radius Limits The pilot can set the altitude and radius limits in the DJI GO app to create a cyliderical geo-fence to bound the aircraft. The tables below show the details of these limits.

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. Airports (Requires GPS): 1. Airport No FlyZones are comprised ofTakeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each

type ofzone encompasses a radius of acertain size. 2. The radius R1 depends on the shape and size ofthe airport, and is an area around the airportthat is a Takeoff Restricted Zone, inside ofwhich takeoff and flight is inhibited. 3. From R1 to R1+ 1miles around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 66 feet (20 m) from the edge of airport and radiating outwards. Theflight altitude is limited to 1640feet (500 m) at R1+ 1miles. 4. When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100m) of a no-flyzone, awarning message will appear in the DJI GO app.

### 47 

# .., )> 0Phantom 3 Standard User Manual A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power lines and radio base stations). The Aircraft Status Indicators will blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the DJI GO app will display one of the following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended that you land the aircraft and recalibrate the compass at a different location. Resume flight in a different area when possible. • Compass error, exiting P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to acquire connections with enough GPS satellites when this warning message appears. The flight controller will automatically adjustthe heading ofthe aircraftto mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch backto P-GPS mode when these adjustments are complete.
