Flight Controller 

The lnsp1re 1 's flight controller 1s based on DJI flight controller wilh several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are ava1lable: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return ot your aircraft 1f the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Flight Mode 

Three flight modes are ava1lable. 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 diHerent states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

POS1I1on1ng sensors 

P-GPS. GPS and Vision Posuion1ng both are ava1lable, and the a1rcraft IS us1ng GPS for pos1honing. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning IS available but the GPS s1gnal is not. Alfcraft is using only V1sion 

Pos1t1oning for hovenng 

P-A TTl Neither GPS or V1sl()(l Pos1tioning available, alfcrat11s usmg only 1ts barometer for posilion1ng, 

so only alt1tude IS controlled 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and V1s10n PositiOning System IS not used for hold1ng position The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to mainta1n alutude. If rt IS still receiv1ng a GPS signal, the aircraf1 can automatically 

return horne 11 the Remote Controller signal IS lost and 1f the Home Point has been recorded successfully 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Onentauon Control (IOC) is act1vated 1n lhis mode. For more 1nformat1on 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

·:<J: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch ' on P27 for more information

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

GPS 

Home Point til 

Smart RTH 

Descnption 

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 pos1tion as you 

move around and when the Atrcraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

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 atrcraft 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.

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the OJI Intelligent Flight Batlery is depleted to a po1nt that 

may affect the safe return of the aircratt Users are advised to return home or land the aircratt immediately 

when these warnings are shown. DJI P1lot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point 

when low battery warn1ng is triggered Aircratt 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 butlon. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its 

d1stance from the Home Point. 

Aircraft will land automatically if the current batlery 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.

temperature enwonments (those with air temperatures below S°C). Ensure that the battery IS fully 

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.43 V before each flight. 

2 Using the Intelligent Flight Battery m extremely low temperature environments (those With a1r 

temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying in environments w1th temperatures 

between soc and -10°C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to ach1eve the appropriate voltage 

levels {above 4.2 V), but it is recommended that you apply the included insulation sticker to the battery 

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures 

3. If the OJI Pilot app d1splays the "Cntical Low Battery Level Warning" when flying 1n low temperature 

~ enwonments, stop flymg and land the aircraft immediately. You w111 still be able to control the aircraft's 

o movement when this warning is tnggered 

~ 4 Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature enwonment and ensure that its temperature 

exceeds soc belore using it in the low temperature environment. 

5. When using the lnsp1re 1 in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a 

low altitude, tor approximately one minute, to heat the battery. 

6. To ensure opt~mum performance, keep the Intelligent Fhght Battery's core temperature above 20°C 

when 111 use 

& In cold environments, Insert the battery into the battery compartment and allow the aircraft to 

warm up lor approximately 1-2 minutes before taking oft 

Checking the battery level

No-Fly Zones 

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

divrded into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include ma)Or airports and flying frelds where manned 

a~rcraft 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-Ry Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restncted Zones and Restrrcted-AIIItude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of varrous size 

(2) Rl depends on tile size and shape of the airport. and IS an area around the a~rport that rs a Takroff 

Restncted Zone, ins1de of whtch take-oN and flight is prevented. 

(3) From Rl to Rl + 1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree inct1ne, 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 Rl + 1 mile. 

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

Calibrating the Compass 

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

IMPORT ANT: 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 to poor flight 

performance or even 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 matenals with you during calibration such as keys or cellular 

phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate bes1de mass1ve metal objects. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures 

1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight 

preparations. or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration. tap Aircraft Status 

Indicator bar in the app and select "Calibrate", then follow the on-screen instructions. 

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a 

solid green light
