## Flight Status Indicator The Inspire 1 Pro comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircra ft Status Indicator. 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 information about the Aircraft Status Indicator: 

# Aircraft
Flight Controller The Inspire 1 Pro’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 are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 Pro depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the a ircraft 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 change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on P29 for more information.

## Return to Home (RTH) The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Batter y RTH and Failsafe RTH.

GPS Description

Home Point The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon ( ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green.



### Smart RTH Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P30 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI GO app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.

Warning Remark Aircraft Status Indicator DJI GO app Flight Instructions

Low battery level warning The battery power is low. Please land the aircraft. Aircraft status indicator blinks RED slowly. Tap “Go-home” to have the aircraft return to the Home point and land automatically, or “Cancel” to resume normal flight. If no action is taken, the aircraft will automatically go home and land after 10 seconds. Remote controller will sound an alarm. Fly the aircraft back and land it as soon as possible, then stop the motors and replace the battery.

Critical Low battery level warning The aircraft must land immediately. Aircraft status indicator blinks RED quickly. The DJI GO app screen will flash red and aircraft starts to descend. Remote controller will sound an alarm. The aircraft will begin to descend and land automatically.

Estimated remaining flight time Estimated remaining flight based on current battery level. N/A N/A N/A 

### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI GO app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below

### 17 Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 20 meter (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an reasonable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator reflect estimated remaining flight time and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft’s cur rent status.



### Failsafe RTH Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if a remote controller signal is resumed.



### Failsafe Illustration

### 18 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. There are two options for Dynamic Home Point. 1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point. 2. Set the remote controller’s coordinate as the new Home Point.
Setting Up Dynamic Home Point Follow the steps below to setup Dynamic Home Point: 1. Connect to the mobile device and launch the DJI GO app and g o to the “Camera” page. 2. Tap“ ”and select“ ”, to reset the remote controller’s coordinates as the new Home Point. 3. Tap“ ”and select“ ”, to reset the aircraft ’s coordinates as the new Home Point. 4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set successfully. 

## 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 Pro 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 Pro, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 Pro 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 Pro can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available. [2]

[1]© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 19 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 Pro on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning

system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. 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 Pro will hover in pl ace.
The performance of your Inspire 1 Pro’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 of the following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, p ure 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 dras tically. 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 or textures (e.g. tiles with 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 the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the ai rcraft 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 wh en 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.

How to discharge your Intelligent Flight Battery: To effectively calibrate the battery capacity, it is recommended to charge and discharge the battery thoroughly for every 10 charge-and-discharge cycle. User should install the battery onto the aircraft and then power on the aircraft to initiate the discharge process, discharge the battery until the aircraft is powered off automatically. User should then fully charge the battery to ensure the battery is working at its optimal. Slow: Place the Intelligent Flight Battery into the Inspire 1 Pro’s Battery Compartment and power it on. Leave it on until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Launch the DJI GO app to check battery level. Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 Pro outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
