# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several omportant upgrades. onc luding a new flight mode Safety modes onclude Failsafe and Return-to-Home These features ensure the safe return of your aorcraft of the control sognal os lost. The flight controller can also save cntiCal flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provodes oncreased stabohty and a new aor brakong feature 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The detaJs of each flight mode are found below P-mode (PosotKJnong) P-mode works best when GPS sognal os strong There are three different states of P-mode , whoch woll be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professoonal dependong on sognal strength of GPS and VosKJn PosrtKJnong sensors P-GPS· GPS and Vosoon Positionong both are available
. The aorcraft is using GPS for positioning P-OPTI Vision Posotioning os available but the GPS signal strength os not sullocoent. The aorcraft os usong only the VosKJn Posrt1001ng System for posotiormg P-ATTI Neither GPS nor VisiOn Pos1t10111ng os avaolable The aorcraft IS usong only ots barometer for posotKJnong so only altotude can be stabiliZed A-mode (Attotude) GPS and VisKJn Posot100tng System are not used for stabilizatoon
. The rurcraft only uses ots barometer The aircraft can still automatocally return to the home point if the control sognal os lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully F-mode (Funcloon) Intelligent Onentahon Control (IOC) os actovated on thos mode For more onformahon about IOC refer to the IOC sectKJn 1n the Appendix

:\): Use the Right Controller mode sw1tch to change the flight mode of the a1rcraft , refer to the ::!:!!ght Mode Sw1tch " on Page 26 for more information 

## Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators The pos1hons of these LEOs are shown in the figure below

The Front LEOs show the onentatlon of the a1rcraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the a1rcraft IS turned on to ondicate the front (or nose) of the a1rcraft The A1rcraft Status lnd 1 cators commun1cate the system status of the flight controller

. G 1mbal is functioning normally 5 Motors can start and are functioning normally 6 The OJI GO app is successfully connected to the a1rcraft 

## Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Always cali brate the compass in every new flight location. The compass IS very sensttive to electromagnetic Interference. wh1ch can produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight performance or flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 

# 0 · Do not calibrate your compass where there IS any poss1b11ity of strong magnetiC Interference
. Sources of potential Interference include magnetite
. parking structures . and subterranean metal structures • Do not carry ferromagnetiC materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones 

### • Do not calibrate in direct proximity to large metal objects • DO NOT calibrate indoors Calibration Procedures Choose an open area to carry out the followtng procedures 1 . Ensure that the compass is caltbrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight

preparattons, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration. tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select "Calibrate ", then follow the on-screen Instructions 2 Hold the aircraft honzontally and rotate 360 degrees The A1rcraft Status Indicato rs will display a solid

green light
