The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the Rear LED displays solid green. Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more inform ation about the Aircraft Status Indicator: 

# Ai **rcraft** Flight Controller The Inspire 1 ’ s flight controller is based on DJI 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 data for each flight. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode a re found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best w hen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sen sors: 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 Visi on 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 alti tude. 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 t his mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

## Vision Positioning System 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 w here 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 w hen 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. [1] [2] © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserv ed. 

### 17 Aircraft INSPIRE 1 User Manual Follow the steps below to 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 w ithout 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 1 will 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 w ill sw itch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously w hen in any of the follow ing sit uations: 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 w ithout clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces w ith identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles w ith same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will 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 of the sensors.The effective hovering altitudes of t he aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters.

Vision Positioning system may not function properly when 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 100lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 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. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User c an gain access to these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers w ith your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly,

# 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 10m/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 of water. 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 w ithin the polar areas in “P” mode. 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these 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, distan ce limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

### Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius li mit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits. Max Height Max Radius Hom e Point Height of aircraft when powered on
