Ensure the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position between the operator and the aircraft to achieve optimal transmission performance.



## Dual Remote Controllers Mode More than one remote controller can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Remote Controller mode. In Dual Controllers mode, the "Master" remote controller operatorcontrols the orientation of the aircraft, while the "Slave" remote controller controls the movement of the gimbal and camera operation. When multiple "slave" remote controllers {max of 6) are connect to the aircraft, only the first connected "slave" remote controller is ableto control the gimbal, the remaining "slave" remote controller can viewthe livefeed video from the aircraft and set the camera parameters, but they cannot control the gimbal.

This chapter describes the flight safety and flight restrictions.

44 @ 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulatorto 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 ofwater. 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 1cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode.



## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details ofthese 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 limitsfunction includes height limits, distance limits and No FlyZones. When operating in PMode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limitswork and flights cannot go higherthan 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 1will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. Thetables below showthe details ofthese limits.

### Flight Restriction of RestrictedAreas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. CategoryA SafetyZone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Flight is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around adesignated safetyzone is a no-fly zone, insidewhich takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at5 miles (8 km). (4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safetyzone, awarning message will appearon the OJI PilotApp.
