The owner of PFW, John Emery Steffner, III, holds a student pilot certificate, as well as a third 

class medical. Currently, Mr. Steffner has over 30 hours of flight time in a Cessna 172, has passed 

the private pilot aeronautical knowledge written exam, and plans to have his Private Pilot, Single 

Engine, Land certificate by the end of October 2015. Consequently, Mr. Steffner understands the 

importance of safe flight operations and is acutely aware of the importance of complying with all 

Federal Aviation Regulations (F.A.R.s). As such, PFW, through the careful oversight and tutelage 

of Mr. Steffner, will ensure that all sUAS flight operations are conducted in the safest possible 

manner. To that end, PFW will comply with any flight or atmospheric condition limitations 

imposed upon the commercial operation of PFW’s DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+.

This petition will address the following topics, as they relate to PFW’s commercial sUAS flight 

operations: the nature of PFW’s commercial drone operations, as well as the DJI Inspire 1 and 

Phantom 2 Vision+ for which PFW seeks exemption; PFW’s proposed sUAS flight operations and 

conditions; privacy concerns; public interest and safety concerns; and, the above specified F.A.R.s 

requiring exemption. Under Section 333(b)(1), PFW’s petition will give the FAA good cause to 

issue a Certificate Of Waiver or Authorization by showing that the size, weight, speed, operational 

capacity, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operations within the Visual Line of Sight 

of the Pilot in Command and Visual Observer of PFW’s DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+

neither creates a hazard to users of the National Airspace System or public nor poses a threat to 

national security. 

Additionally, this petition will prove that PFW’s flight operations for the commercial usage of the 

DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ provides an equivalent level of safety when compared to the 

F.A.R.s requiring exemption. To that end, this petition will highlight some of the numerous, 

granted petitions for Section 333 exemption for similar commercial operations of the DJI Inspire 

1 and Phantom 2 Vision+.

PHANTOM FLIGHT WORKS, LLC’s PETITION FOR SECTION 333 EXEMPTION 

Phantom Flight Works, LLC

Overview

Phantom Flight Works, LLC (hereinafter “PFW”) is a Sebring, Florida, based company

specializing in aerial research and data collection, including aerial imagery, photography, and 

videography. PFW provides services to various vendors of outdoor events and activities, such as 

weddings, sporting events, fundraisers, reunions, and parades. Additionally, PFW provides 

services to grove and agricultural vendors, such as citrus grove inspectors. Moreover, PFW 

provides services to property appraisers, commercial property inspectors, and those wishing to 

provide unique exterior photography/videography of real estate listings.

As detailed below, PFW will only allow commercial sUAS operations of the DJI Inspire 1 and 

Phantom 2 Vision+ by certificated airmen, holding at the bare minimum a sport pilot certificate. 

Currently, Mr. John Emery Steffner, III, holds a student pilot certificate, as well as a third class 

medical. Mr. Steffner has over 30 hours of flight time in a Cessna 172, has passed the private pilot 

aeronautical knowledge written exam, and plans to have his Private Pilot, Single Engine, Land

certificate by the end of October 2015. While Mr. Steffner will not commercially operate an 

exempted sUAS until he meets the requisite limitations to act as PIC of the commercial sUAS, Mr. 

Steffner is well on his way to obtaining the necessary airmen certification so he can commercially 

operate a sUAS on behalf of PFW. Moreover, Mr. Steffner has approximately 1,300 hours of noncommercial sUAS flight time. Consequently, Mr. Steffner, on behalf of PFW, understands safe 

flight operations and will apply that knowledge during all commercial sUAS operations. 

Based upon PFW’s intended use and proposed flight operations and conditions limitations, PFW

would like an exemption from the following Federal Aviation Regulations (F.A.R.s) to 

commercially operate the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+: 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c); 14 

C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5); 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a); 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a); 

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c); 14 C.F.R. §91.121; 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. §91.405(a); 14 

C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b).

Phantom Flight Works LLC sUAS Models

PFW’s requested exemption from the above specified F.A.R.s will allow for PFW’s use of the DJI 

Inspire 1 and for commercial operations pertaining to aerial research and data collection, as well 

as aerial imagery, photography, and videography, within the United States of America. These 

sUAS models are either similar to, or the same as, sUAS models that the FAA has already granted 

exemption for similar commercial flight operations in Exemption Numbers 11699, 11693, 11062, 

11109, 11112, 11213, and 11656.

The DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ are quad-copter sUAS models capable of providing 

hover flight in both the vertical and horizontal planes. As such, both sUAS models provide 

excellent maneuverability and ease of control for the PIC. The ease with which a PIC can control 

these sUAS models is evidenced by the fact that both sUAS models are commercially available 

for RC hobbyists, requiring no training or experience prior to flight. 
Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Phantom Flight Works, LLC

Page 7 of 16

Both the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ additionally provide excellent situational awareness 

for the PIC. Both sUAS models allow the PIC to determine the exact altitude of the sUAS via GPS 

technology and monitoring. In addition, both sUAS models provide the PIC with the ability to 

monitor the available remaining battery life, allowing the PIC to make informed, safe decisions 

regarding the duration and continuation of a particular flight.

PFW’s primary objective with each commercial flight is the safe return of the sUAS without injury 

to property or person. Both the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ incorporate unique operating 

modes that provide for the safe return of the sUAS should the PIC experience a loss of signal 

connectivity between the sUAS model’s transmitter and receiver. The DJI Inspire 1 incorporates 

three safe modes in such a situation: Failsafe, Return to Home, and Dynamic Home Point. 

Likewise, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ incorporates a failsafe function should the sUAS experience 

loss of signal connectivity. Both models will guide the sUAS back to a predetermined, safe landing 

zone should the model experience issues. Please see the User Manuals for both the DJI Inspire 1 

and Phantom 2 Vision+ for more information regarding these safe modes. 

Given the nature of these particular sUAS models, PFW’s requested exemption from various 

F.A.R.s will neither adversely affect the public’s safety nor create a hazard to users of the National 

Airspace System (NAS) or pose a threat to national security. Moreover, PFW’s use of these sUAS 

models for the above described commercial operations will replace the need for fixed winged or 

rotorcraft aircraft with regards to these services. 

By replacing fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with sUAS models, the public will benefit in 

several ways. For example, the use of these sUAS models provides significant reductions in the 

risk of injury to property or person should the sUAS require an emergency landing. Both the DJI 

Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ are lightweight, powered by batteries, and carry no passengers. 

By comparison, fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft, which weigh thousands of pounds, carry 

flammable fuels, and passengers, have been known to cause serious injury or death to passengers 

and bystanders during emergency landings. The use of these particular sUAS models for aerial 

research and data collection, including aerial imagery, photography, and videography will 

substantially benefit the public from a safety standpoint. 

Below are the specifications of each sUAS model.

Proposed Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures

PFW’s primary objective with every flight is the safe return of the above specified sUAS models

without injury to property or person. In order to obtain this desired objective, PFW will abide by 

the following flight and atmospheric conditions limitations when performing commercial flight 

operations with the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+:

1. PFW will not operate the sUAS models when weighing more than 55 pounds, 

including payload. 

2. PFW will not operate the sUAS models at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles 

per hour). PFW will use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine 

compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. 

3. PFW will not operate the sUAS models at an altitude of more than 400 feet above 

ground level (AGL). PFW will monitor altitude in feet AGL via GPS technology 

and monitoring. 

4. PFW will only operate the sUAS models within VLOS of the PIC at all times. PFW

will require the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other 

than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA-issued airman medical 

certificate or U.S. driver’s license. 

5. PFW requires the utilization of a visual observer (VO) on all commercial sUAS 

flights. The sUAS models will be operated within VLOS of the PIC and VO at all 

times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC 

always maintains VLOS capability. PFW requires that the VO and PIC be able to 

communicate verbally at all times. PFW does not permit electronic messaging or 

texting during flight operations. PFW requires the sUAS PIC to be designated 

before the flight and does not allow transfer of his or her designation during the 

flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO. 

6. PFW requires that all operating documents (defined as the granted exemption and 

all documents needed to operate the UAS model and conduct its operations in 

accordance with all grants conditions and limitations) must be accessible during 

sUAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon reasonable request. 
Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Phantom Flight Works, LLC

Page 11 of 16

7. PFW will require a functional test should any sUAS model undergo maintenance 

or alterations that affect that sUAS model’s operation or flight characteristics, e.g., 

replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight 

prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. PFW requires that all 

function flights be conducted by a PIC with a VO and remain at least 500 feet from 

other people. PFW further requires that the functional test flight be conducted in 

such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 

8. PFW will be responsible for maintaining and inspecting the sUAS model to ensure 

that the sUAS model is in a condition for safe operation. 

9. PFW requires that, prior to each flight, the PIC conduct a pre-flight inspection and 

determine whether the sUAS model is in a condition for safe flight. PFW requires 

that the pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., 

inoperable components, items, or equipment. Should the inspection reveal a 

condition that affects the safe operation of the sUAS model, PFW prohibits the 

aircraft from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the 

sUAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight.

10. PFW requires compliance with the component manufacturer’s maintenance, 

overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the components 

that combine to assemble the sUAS models. 

11. PFW requires compliance with all sUAS model manufacture’s safety bulletins for 

the sUAS model. 

12. PFW requires all sUAS model PICs to hold either an airline transport, commercial, 

private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. Further, PFW requires the PIC to also 

hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued 

by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the 

Federal Government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements 

specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her 

pilot certificate. 

13. PFW prohibits any PIC to operate the sUAS model unless the PIC demonstrates the 

ability to safely operate the sUAS model in a manner consistent with how the sUAS 

will be operated under this petition for exemption, including evasive and 

emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, 

vehicles and structures. To that end, PFW requires the PIC’s qualification flight 

hours and currency to be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). 

14. PFW prohibits flight operations of the sUAS models during night, as defined in 14 

CFR § 1.1. All flight operations will be conducted under visual meteorological 

conditions (VMC). PFW will not allow the sUAS model to be flown during special 

visual flight rules (SVFR).

15. PFW will not operate the sUAS model within 5 nautical miles of an airport 

reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory 

(AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as 

denoted on the current FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of 

agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a 

COA issued to the exemption holder. PFW will make the letter of agreement with 

the airport management available to the Administrator or any law enforcement 

official upon request. 

16. PFW will operate the sUAS model at least 500 feet below and/or no more than 

2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud. PFW will not operate the sUAS model when 

visibility is less than 3 statute miles. 

17. PFW requires the sUAS model to return to a pre-determined location within the 

private or controlled-access property should the sUAS model lose communications 

or lose its GPS signal. 

18. PFW requires the PIC of any sUAS model to abort the flight in the event of 

unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

19. PFW prohibits the PIC of any sUAS model from beginning a flight unless 

(considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power 

for the sUAS model to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for 

at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if 

greater. 

20. PFW requires that all documents used to ensure safe operation and flight of the 

sUAS model and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 to be 

available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the sUAS model any time the 

aircraft are operating. PFW will make these documents available to the 

Administrator or any law enforcement official upon reasonable request. 

21. PFW requires that during all flights, the sUAS model PIC remain clear and give 

way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 

22. PFW prohibits the PIC of any sUAS model from operating the sUAS model from 

any moving device or vehicle. 

23. PFW requires all flight operations of all sUAS models to be conducted at least 500 

feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: 

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating 

persons from the sUAS and/or debris in the event of an accident. PFW will 

ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a 

situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and 

are within 500 feet of the sUAS, PFW requires flight operations to cease

immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; 

and 

b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted 

permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a 

safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and 

determined that it does not present an undue hazard. 

24. PFW will operate all sUAS models flights over private or controlled-access 

property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized 

representative. PFW will obtain permission from the property owner/controller or 

authorized representative prior to each flight to be conducted. 

PRIVACY

PFW’s use of the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ for aerial research and data collection,

including aerial imagery, photography, and videography, will not implicate any privacy concerns. 

Since PFW will only commercially operate the sUAS models at the request of the property and/or 

business owner(s), PFW will have the express consent and permission of the property and/or 

business owner(s) prior to flying over private property. PFW’s use of the DJI Inspire 1 and 

Phantom 2 Vision+ poses no greater privacy concerns than the use of traditional fixed wing or 

rotorcraft aircraft for similar commercial operations. Should PFW’s commercial sUAS activity 

require aerial based photographic and video imagery, images taken will be of individuals who have 

consented to being photographed/filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where aerial 

photographic or video imagery will take place.

PUBLIC INTEREST AND SAFETY

Unlike traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft, the use of the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 

Vision+ for aerial research and data collection, including aerial imagery, photography, and 

videography, promotes public interest and safety. Whereas traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft 

aircraft are large, heavy, noisy, require flammable fuels and manned operators (placing the pilot’s 

life in jeopardy should there be an emergency), these sUAS models are small, light, quite, and do

not require flammable fuels or a manned operator (i.e. not risking human life for the purpose of 

operation). 

The use of PFW’s DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ also benefits the public from a safety 

perspective since these sUAS models do not run on fossil fuels. Since these sUAS models are

battery powered, their use over the traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft will be more 

environmentally and ecologically friendly. In addition to the non-use of flammable fuels, given 

the extreme lightness of these sUAS models, should an emergency result in a forced landing, injury 

to property or persons would be negligible compared to the catastrophic injury to property or 

persons that would result in an emergency landing of a traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft. 

Apart from the added safety benefits of sUAS flight operations, the use of the DJI Inspire 1 and 

Phantom 2 Vision+ for the above noted aerial based applications creates new economic 

opportunities that could fuel the continued growth of aviation and aviation related interests. 
Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Consequently, the public will benefit from the use of sUAS models for commercial purposes as 

companies like PFW will provide new jobs and economic opportunities, fueling innovation and 

creativity. 

REGULATIONS FROM WHICH EXEMPTION IS REQUESTED

14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c): Medical Certificates Requirement and Duration

PFW requests exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c) which provides for certain flight 

operations requiring medical certificates. PFW’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent 

level of safety in that PFW would require a DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ PIC to hold either 

a current medical certificate, of any class, or a valid U.S. Driver’s License. PFW’s petition for 

exemption provides an equivalent level of safety as provided in 14 C.F.R. §§61.23(a) and (c). 

14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5): Recreational Pilot Privileges and Limitations; 14 C.F.R. § 

61.113(a): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command; and 14 C.F.R. 

§61.315(a): What Are The Privileges and Limits of My Sport Pilot Certificate?

PFW requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5) which prohibits recreational 

pilots from receiving compensation for hire or providing flight services in furtherance of a 

business, respectively. In addition, PFW requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §61.113(a), which 

prohibits a certificated private pilot from receiving compensation or flying for hire when acting as 

PIC; and from 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a), which provides the holder of a sport pilot certificate may 

only act as pilot in command of a light-sport aircraft.

PFW’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety in that PFW requires the DJI 

Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ PIC, at the bare minimum, to hold the privileges of a sport pilot 

certificate under 14 C.F.R. §61 Subpart J, hold either a medical certificate or valid U.S. Driver’s 

License, and to demonstrate proficiency in the PIC’s ability to safely operate the sUAS models in 

a manner consistent with how the sUAS will be operated under this petition for exemption.

Distinct comparisons between the commercial activities of PFW and other businesses operating 

traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft expose the unnecessary limitations placed upon sport, 

recreational and private certificated pilots when considering PIC privileges of commercial sUAS 

flight operations. Whereas requiring pilots of traditional fixed wing and rotorcraft aircraft to hold 

commercial and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) ratings ensures that the pilots possess the necessary 

skills, training and experience to safely transport persons and/or cargo from the point of departure 

to the intended point of destination, the same correlation for sUAS pilots and should not apply to 

the sUAS flight operations of PFW. 

In the case of PFW’s sUAS flight operations, no persons or third-party cargo will be carried by the 

sUAS models during PFW’s aerial based commercial operations. Unlike traditional fixed wing or 

rotorcraft aircraft, which must traverse over a greater distance, greater amount of property, and a 

greater amount of people in order to get from the point of departure to the intended point of 

destination, PFW’s sUAS will only fly over property authorized by PFW’s clients. In other words, 

the sUAS models will not have to originate flight from a different location and traverse over the 

properties of disinterested parties in order to fulfill the purpose of PFW’s commercial flight 
Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Phantom Flight Works, LLC

Page 15 of 16

operations. As such, the risk of injury to disinterested parties is substantially decreased by the use 

of a sUAS for aerial based commercial applications described within this petition.

Consequently, PFW’s requirement that the sUAS PIC hold, at least, a sport pilot certificate 

provides an equivalent level of safety to the requirement that a commercial or ATP rated pilot 

transport persons and/or cargo for hire in manned aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness 

PFW requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a) which prohibits the operation of civil aircraft 

unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for PFW’s

DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ models, no standard will exist for determining airworthiness.

In any event, PFW’s proposed Flight Conditions and Operating Procedure will ensure an 

equivalent level of safety with 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a). 

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitude: General

PFW requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R §91.119(c) which provides that except when necessary 

for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below an altitude of 500 feet above the 

surface. Furthermore, this section provides that an aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 

feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. PFW’s petition requests that the DJI Inspire 1 and 

Phantom 2 Vision+ be flown at an altitude no higher than 400 feet AGL and, when complying 

with the conditions set forth in §23(b) of PFW’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures, at 

distances closer than 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. 

The requirement that the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ maintain 400 feet or less AGL helps 

ensure that signal connectivity between the transmitter and receiver will not be lost. In addition, 

this height restriction ensures that the PIC will be able to maintain VLOS while simultaneously 

limiting the possibility of the sUAS models’ interference with other NAS traffic. Moreover, this 

requirement ensures at least 100 feet of vertical separation between sUAS commercial operators 

and manned aircraft operating within the NAS.

Traditional principles requiring a 500 foot AGL minimum for fixed-wing or rotorcraft aircraft 

stemmed from a desire to protect the public should the need for a forced landing arise due to an 

unforeseen emergency situation or loss of power. These same concerns are not present with PFW’s

sUAS models as they are extremely lightweight and small. Any injury to property or person would 

be negligible when compared to the catastrophic damage that a fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft 

would inflict due to a forced landing. Consequently, PFW’s Flight Conditions and Operating 

Procedures provide for an equivalent level of safety when compared to 14 C.F.R §91.119(c).

14 C.F.R. §91.121: Altimeter Settings

PFW requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.121 which provides guidelines for the use of 

altimeter settings while operating an aircraft. PFW’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent 

level of safety such that the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+ PIC will be able to determine 

the AGL height of the sUAS model due to GPS technology. The AGL height of the sUAS will be 
Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Phantom Flight Works, LLC

Page 16 of 16

displayed for the PIC during all flight operations. As such, the PIC will be able to maintain the 

requirement that the sUAS models fly no higher than 400 feet AGL during all flight operations. 

14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1): Fuel Requirements For Flight In VFR Conditions

PFW requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1) which provides that no person may begin 

a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel. PFW’s

petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety due to PFW’s prohibition against the 

PIC from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is 

enough available power for the sUAS model to conduct the intended operation and to operate after 

that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 

Given the design and technology of the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+, PFW’s PIC will 

have access to all relevant information concerning the sUAS model’s battery life. The PIC will be 

able to make an accurate determination as to whether the PIC can comply with PFW’s “fuel” 

requirements for each flight. Consequently, PFW’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures 

provide for an equivalent level of safety when compared to 14 C.F.R §91.151(a)(1).

14 C.F.R. §91.405(a): Maintenance Required; 14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1): Operation After 

Maintenance, Preventative Maintenance, Rebuilding, Or Alteration; 14 C.F.R. §§ 

91.409(a)(1) and (2): Inspections; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance Records

PFW requests exemption from the following F.A.Rs: 14 C.F.R. §91.405(a), which provides the 

owner or operator of aircraft shall have the aircraft inspected pursuant to Subpart E of 14 C.F.R; 

14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1), which provides that no person may operate any aircraft having undergone 

preventive maintenance unless approved for return to service by a person authorized under §43.7; 

14 C.F.R. §§91.409(a)(1) and (2), which provides that no person may operate an aircraft within 

the preceding 12 calendar months unless an annual inspection has been performed; and 14 C.F.R. 

§§91.417(a) and (b), which provides for the recording of an aircraft’s maintenance if the aircraft 

holds an airworthiness certificate.

PFW’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety since PFW requires

compliance with the sUAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and 

life limit requirements for the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 2 Vision+. Due to the nature of a sUAS, 

compliance with certain maintenance requirements under Subpart E of 14 C.F.R. are either 

impossible or cost prohibitive to implement when applied to a sUAS. As such, PFW should be 

exempt from these regulations as PFW’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for 

an equivalent level of safety when compared to these F.A.R.s.

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain

and smog.

(2) Ry in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect 1he accuracy of the onboard compass.

(3) Keep the Phantom emay from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when inflight.

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission rowers.

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas.

(6) Do not fly lhe aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations.

Preflight Checklist

(1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged.

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly.

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed.

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn.

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed.

(7) Micro-so card has been inserted if necessary.

(B) Gimbal isfunctioning as normal.

(9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal.

(10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera.

1 Calibrating the Compass

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to

electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading 1o poor flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.

0 •DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite,

parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.

•DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones.

•DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.

1.1Calibration Procedures

Choose an open space 10 carry out 1he following procedures. Watch 1he Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more

details.

If compass calibration is needed before flight, a pranpt will appear on the OJI VISON App's camera page. Itwill

disappear after successful calibration.

1.2When to Recalibrate

(1) When compass data is abnom1al, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow.

(2) Flying in different location to last flight.

(3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass.

(4) Severe drifting occurs inflight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines.

2 Starting/Stopping the Motors

2.1 Starting IVIotors

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to stan the motors instead of

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom comers to start the

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously.

2.2 Stopping Motors Figure49

There are two methods to stop the motors.

Melhocl1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately.

Release both sticks once motors stop.

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3seconds.

[1] [2]

Rgure50 Figure 51

0 Do not execute esc during nom1al flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control.

•Conduct the esc as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop.

• Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push

the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock.

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.

4 Failsafe Function

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Aight Control System will

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage.

l:I§J Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point.

•When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded horne point coordinates and land.

•Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the

GUI of the DJI VISION App).

•After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green.

Dynamic Home Paint: The Home point "Will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time lntarvals.

•Enable dynamic home point in OJI Vision app or Phantom 2Assistant.

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Tum on GPS and data service to

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position.

•Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Horne point that is different

from the takeoff point.

4.1 When Will FailsafeActivate?

(1) The Remote Controller is powered off.

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range.

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked.

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller.

4.2 Failsafe Procedure

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes.

Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing

The Right Control System will keep 1heaircraft level during descent and landing. Itmay bedrift during the descent and landing process.

3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-point error?

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the

CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this.

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the

Phantom 2Vision+.

Solution: Place all Remote Conb'oller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+

to r&reCOrd the mid-point.

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation inthe mid-point position.

Solution: UseAssistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration.

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic-> RC ->Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position.

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required.

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibralion inAssistant.

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair.

3.2 Howto restore avideo file if power is turned off during a recording session?

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for

the video file to be restored.

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID.

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON."

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost?

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you

are familiar with the procedure for regaining control.

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time.

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2Vision+.

3.6 Files fail to synchronize.

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files.

3.8 Failure to share.

Solution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet.

3.9Some Android devices have a problem connecting to 1he Phan1Dm 2 VISion+ Wi·Fi Extender.

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both aWi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-R network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection

has a certain Wi.fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced"

then uncheck the ·Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this

message can be ignored.

3.1oApp tips for mobile devices.

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device.

3.11 Howto land the aircraft more smoothly?

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the esc command to stop the motors.

3.12 Why is1he discharge time of a battery not zero Vttlen unused?

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay 10 use.

3.13 Do Ineed exira hardware to utilize ground station?

Solution: No extra hardware is required.

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline?

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use.

3.15 What if Iaccidenuy exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode?

If DJIVision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission.

If DJIVision App is closed and failed to re-oonnect with aircraft within 1minute, aircraft retums home point automatically.

This chapter describes the features of

the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.
Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on OJI 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 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision

Positioning sensors:

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-ATII: 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 aircratt

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 ac tivated in t his mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

:'(;: Use the Flight Controller mode switcllto change the f light mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

Flight Status Indicator

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these

LEOs are shown in the figure below:

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 Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH.

OJ 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 ( 111 ). 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 P28 for more information) or the

RTH button in the DJI Pilot 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.

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 t he help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more

precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. Tile main

components of OJ! 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 when t11e 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 hover ing even when

no GPS is available.

16
INSPIRE l User Manua l

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 without 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 surfac e 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, pure red, pure green).

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces.

• Flying at high speeds(over Sm/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 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 def lect 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 aircraft is flying over water.

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1OOiux).

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning syslem 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.

0 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'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 OJI Pilot app to check battery level.

Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can

no longer be turned on.

Flight

Tllis chapter describes the flight safety

and flight restrictions. 
Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the f light 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 exceed ing 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 eleclromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and bat1ery 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 within the polar areas in "P" mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area

Right 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 f light limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and

legally. The f light limits function includes height limits, distance 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 lim1ts work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limit 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.

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. 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:

Airport:

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various size.

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640

feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

in the OJI Pilot app.

Individual Parts 

Remote Controller

1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller. 

Refer to the user manual for more information about how to link the aircraft. 

2. If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10 

minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert.

3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft’s flight. You may 

change it to a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link it to the aircraft to control flight.

4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does not slip.

5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate,

ensure the DJI logo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller away from any metal objects.

6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly

decrease performance.

7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft’s Intelligent Flight Battery.

Camera

1. Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off.

2. Be sure to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved 

and any recorded videos may be damaged.

3. Test the camera by shooting a few test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important 

pictures. 

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy laws, regulations 

and moral standards.

5. Check camera settings before use to make sure you can adjust them to fit your needs.

Gimbal

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal

connector, as any damage will cause it to function abnormally.

2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct 

the gimbal’s full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. 

Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protect the gimbal after powering up.

3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop.

4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

lead to motor damage.

5. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact, which will cause the gimbal 

to function abnormally.

Compass

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight

performance or even failure.

2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This includes areas 

where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges.

3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones.

4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces.

5. If the rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate.

6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the

ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to another 

location and try again.

Parameter Settings

The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is 

good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter 

settings.
