# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended thatyou use the flight simulator in the OJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radiotransmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greaterthan 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea 

### :D level, asthe performance ofthe battery and aircraft may be affected.

### All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations setforth by government and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operatethis product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and No-FlyZones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitude from exceeding 1640feet (500 m). 

### Maximum flightaltitude & 

### Radius Limits Maximumflight altitude and radius limits may be changed inthe OJI GO app. Beaware thatthe maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:
