Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform 

Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, CAVU Media LLC, operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems ("sUASs") equipped to offer on-demand commercial UAS operations for a host 

of industries and applications. These include: 

o Flare stack inspection, 

o Utility-power generation system inspections and patrolling, 

o Pipeline inspection and patrolling, 

o Filmmaking, cinematography, and videography, 

o Precision agriculture, 

o Wildlife and forestry monitoring, 

o Aerial surveying, 

o Construction site inspection and monitoring, and 

o Public Entity Support Operations. 

CAVU Media hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal Aviation 

Regulations ("FARs") to allow commercial operation of its sUASs, so long as such 

operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be 

established by the FAA as required by Section 333 

As described more fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation of 

small, unmanned and relatively inexpensive sUAS under controlled conditions in 

airspace that is 1) limited 2) predetermined 3) controlled as to access and 4) would 

provide safety enhancements to the already safe operations using conventional aircraft. 

Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of 

Transportation's (the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities to " ... establish requirement 
for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system." Section 

333(c) of the Reform Act.

14 CFR 417 (a) & (b) 

This exemption application is expressly submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing 

Section 333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. This law directs the Secretary of 

Transportation to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate 

safely in the national airspace system (NAS) before completion of the rulemaking 

required under Section 332 of the Reform Act. In making this determination, the 

Secretary is required to determine which types of UASs do not create a hazard to users 

of the NAS or the public or pose a threat to national security in light of the following: 

o The UAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; 

o Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and 

o Operation of the UAS within visual line of sight of the operator. 

Reform Act § 333 (a). Lastly, if the Secretary determines that such vehicles "may 

operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish 

requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft in the national airspace system." /d. 

§333(c) (emphasis added) 

Applicant interprets this provision to place the duty on the Administrator to not only 

process applications for exemptions under section 333, but for the Administrator to craft 

conditions for the safe operation of the UAS, if it should be determined that the 

conditions set forth herein do not fulfill the statutory requirements for approval. 

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue exemptions. 

This statutory authority by its terms includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is 

defined under §401 01 of the Act that includes sUASs, from the requirement that all civil 

aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate. 
The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement of a regulation prescribed 

under subsection (a) or (b) of this section or any sections 44702-44716 of this title if the 

Administrator finds the exemption in the public interest. 49 U.S.C. §44701 (f) See also 49 

USC §44711 (a); 49 USC §44704; 14 CFR §91.203 (a) (1 ). 

CAVU Media's sUASs are rotorcraft, weighting 55 or fewer lbs. including payload. They 

operate, under normal conditions at a speed of no more than 50 knots and have the 

capability to hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. They 

will operate only in line of sight and will operate only within a sterile area. Such 

operations will insure that the sUAS will "not create a hazard to users of the national 

airspace system or the public." 

Reform Act Section 333 (b). 

Given the small size of the sUASs involved and the restricted sterile environment within 

which they will operate, the applicant falls squarely within that zone of safety (an 

equivalent level of safety) in which Congress envisioned that the FAA must, by 

exemption, allow commercial operations of UASs to commence immediately. Also due to 

the size of the UASs and the restricted areas in which the relevant sUASs will operate, 

approval of the application presents no national security issue. Given the clear direction 

in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as 

amended; the strong equivalent level of safety surrounding the proposed operations, and 

the significant public benefit, including enhanced safety, reduction in environmental 

impacts, including reduced emissions associated with allowing UASs, the grant of the 

requested exemptions is in the public interest. 

Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests that the FAA grant the requested 

exemption without delay. 

AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

The applicant proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that 

have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These 

limitations provide for at least an equivalent or even higher level of safety to operations 

under the current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent a 

safety enhancement to the already safe operations conducted with conventional aircraft. 

These limitations and conditions to which CAVU Media agrees to be bound when 

conducting commercial operations under an FAA issued exemption include: 

1. The sUAS will weigh less than 55 lbs. 

2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a pilot and/or observer. 

3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be 30 minutes. Flights will be 

terminated at 25% battery power reserve should that occur prior to the 30 minute limit. 

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL or, not more than 

200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. 

5. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS Pilot, the Visual Observer, 

and/or the Camera Operator. 

6. sUAS pilot will be an FAA licensed airman with at least a private pilot's certificate. 

7. sUAS Pilot will be Pilot in Command (PIC). If a pilot certificate holder other than the 

sUAS Pilot, who possess the necessary PIC qualifications, is also present (i.e. the Visual 

Observer), that person can also be designated as the PIC. 

8. The UAS will only operate within a confined "Sterile Area" of the flight operations area. 

9. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned sUAS operations prior to each 

day's activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties 

within the boundaries of the safety perimeter be present for this briefing. 
10. The operator will obtain the consent of all persons involved and ensure that only 

consenting persons will be allowed within 100 feet of the flight operation, and this radius 

may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an equivalent level of safety determination. 

11. Pilot and observer will have been trained in operation of UAS generally and received 

up-to-date information on the particular UAS to be operated. 

12. Observer and pilot will at all times are able to communicate by voice and/or text. 

13. Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained. 

14. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county or 

city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental 

agencies. 

15. If the sUAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have 

capability to return to a pre-determined location within the Security Perimeter and land. 

16. The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies. 
14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) 

Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for 

the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a) (1 ). Given the 

size and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, 

an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of 

safety under Part 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 

U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt 

aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the 

size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas 

of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that the 

UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and 

under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional 

aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the 

restrictions and conditions proposed. 

The sUAS to be operated hereunder is less than 55 lbs. fully loaded, carries neither a 

pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and 

operates exclusively within a secured area as set out in the Manual. Unlike other civil 

aircraft, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both 

the operator, pursuant to the Manual's requirements, and under the requirements and in 

compliance with local public safety requirements, to provide security for the area of 

operation as is now done with conventional filming. The FAA will have advance notice of 

all operations. These safety enhancements, which already apply to civil aircraft operated 

in connection with motion picture and television production, provide a greater degree of 

safety to the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with 

airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application 

of these same criteria demonstrates that there is no credible threat to national security 

posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of operation, location of operation, lack of 

explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external 

load. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft 

The regulation requires: 

When marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is 

displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or 

provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each 

entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more 

than 6 inches high, the words "limited," "restricted," "light-sport," "experimental," or 

"provisional," as applicable. 

Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be 

needed as the UAS will have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which 

the word "Experimental" can be placed. Given the size of the sUAV, two-inch lettering 

will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance 

with §45.29 (f). 

The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the sUAV marked on its 

fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the 

sUAV will see the identification of the UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the 

following exemptions to this regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 

10167A. 

14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a) & (b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in 

Command. 

Sections 61.113 (a) & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Because the 

UAS will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the 
equivalent level of safety of current operations by requiring the PIC operating the aircraft 

to have a private pilot's license rather than a commercial pilot's license to operate this 

small UAS. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries the pilot and passengers, the sUAS 

is remotely controlled with no living thing on board. The area of operation is controlled 

and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance. The level of safety 

provided by the requirements included in the Manual exceeds that provided by a single 

individual holding a commercial pilot's certificate operating a conventional aircraft. The 

risks associated with the operation of the sUAS are so diminished from the level of risk 

associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part 61 when drafted, that 

allowing operations of the sUAS as requested with a private pilot as the PIC exceeds the 

present level of safety achieved by 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). 

14 C.F.R. §91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness. 

The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy 

condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this 

exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining 

airworthiness. Given the size of the aircraft and the requirements contained in the 

Manual for maintenance and use of safety check lists prior to each flight, as set forth in 

Sections J, L and Q, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. 

Section 91.9 (b) (2) provides: 

No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft ... 

(2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this 

chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft 

Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination 

thereof. The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a 

flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because 

there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. 

The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the 

ground control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to it. 

The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 

8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 32827, and 10700. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight action 

This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to 

insure the safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided 

for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions including 

reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft 

performance data before initiation of flight. 

14 C.F.R. §91.109: Flight instruction: 

Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned 

free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully 

functioning dual controls. 

sUASs and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design do not have fully functional dual 

controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that 

communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved 

exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft 

and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K & 9862A. 

The equivalent level of safety provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will 

be carried in the aircraft and by the size and speed of the aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum safe altitudes 

Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) 

allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the 
person operating the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for 

helicopters by the FAA. As this exemption is for a sUAS that is a helicopter and the 

exemption requests authority to operate at altitudes up to 400 AGL, or not more than 200 

above an elevated platform from which filming is planned, an exemption may be needed 

to allow such operations. As set forth herein, except for the limited conditions stated 

in the Manual, the UAS will never operate at higher than 400 AGL. It will however 

be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, where buildings and people will 

not be exposed to operations without their pre-obtained consent. The equivalent level of 

safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS as well as the 

location where it is operated. No flight will be taken without the required permission of 

the property owner or local officials. Because of the advance notice to the property 

owner and participants in the aerial activity, all affected individuals will be aware of the 

planned flight operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft 

weighting far more than the maximum 55lbs. proposed herein and the lack of flammable 

fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented 

with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL other industries. In addition, the 

low-altitude operations of the sUAS will ensure separation between these smaii-UAS 

operations and the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 

91.119. 

14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings 

This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by 

reference to an altimeter that is set " ... to the elevation of the departure airport or an 

appropriate altimeter setting available before departure." As the sUAS may not have a 

barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the Manual 

and Safety Check list, confirming the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS 

altitude indicator before flight. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under 

VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is 

enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising 

speed - (1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly 

after that for at least 45 minutes." 

The battery powering the sUAS provides approximately 40 minutes of powered flight. To 

meet the 30-minute reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, sUAS flights would be 

limited to approximately 10 minutes in length. Given the limitations on the UAS's 

proposed flight area and the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined 

area, a longer time frame for flight in daylight or night VFR conditions is reasonable. 

Applicant believes that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of 

prior exemptions. See Exemption 10673 (allowing Lockheed Martin Corporation to 

operate without compliance with FAR 91.151 (a)). Operating the small UAS, in a tightly 

controlled area where only people and property owners or official representatives who 

have signed waivers will be allowed, with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel, does not 

engender the type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate given the size 

and speed of the small UAS. Additionally, limiting sUAS flights to 10 minutes would 

greatly reduce the utility for which the exemption will be granted. 

Applicant believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 

30 minutes or 25% of battery power whichever happens first. This restriction would be 

more than adequate to return the sUAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its 

limited operating area. 

Similar exemptions have been granted to other operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 
5745, 10673, and 10808. 

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration 

The regulation provides in pertinent part: 

(a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has 

within it the following: 

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate .... 

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by 

paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is 

displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. 

The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 55 lbs and is operated without an onboard 

pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents 

or to display them on the sUAS. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground 

control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to them, to the 

extent they are applicable to the sUAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to 

this regulation. A representative sample of other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 

9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700. 

14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections 

These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft 

inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, 

except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as 

prescribed in part 43 of this chapter. .. ," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in 

compliance with Part 43. 

Given that these section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness 

certificate, these sections will not apply to the applicant. The operator pursuant to the 

flight manual and operating handbook will accomplish maintenance. An equivalent level 

of safety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limited in size and will 

carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods of time. If 

mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no 

higher than 400 feet AGL. As provided in the Manual, the operator will ensure that the 

UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep 

a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar 

with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to 

provide the equivalent level of safety. 

********* 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the 

Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: 

Applicant seeks an exemption from the following rules: 

14 C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) & (b);91.7 (a); 91.9 

(b) (2);91.103(b);91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a);91.203(a) and (b); 91.405 (a); 

91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) & (b) to operate 

commercially a small unmanned vehicle (551bs or less). 

Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of sUASs, will enhance safety 

by reducing risk. Conventional operations, using jet or piston power aircraft, operate at 

extremely low altitudes just feet from the subjects being filmed and in extreme proximity 

to people and structures and present the risks associated with vehicles that weigh in the 

neighborhood of 4,0001bs, carrying large amounts of jet A or other fuel. Such aircraft 

must fly to and from the operational location. In contrast, a sUAS weighing fewer than 55 

lbs. and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that risk given the reduced mass 

and lack of combustible fuel carried on board. The sUAS is carried to the operation site 

and not flown. The sUAS will carry no passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose 
them to the risks associated with manned aircraft flights. 

The operation of small UASs, weighting less than 55 lbs., conducted in the strict 

conditions outlined above, will provide an equivalent level of safety supporting the grant 

of the exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the 

requirements of Part 21 and allowing commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft 

operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a 

result, are far safer than conventional operations conducted with turbine helicopters 

operating in close proximity to the ground and people. 

Privacy 

All flights will occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner's 

prior consent and knowledge. Filming will be of people who have also consented to 

being filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where filming will take place. 

The grant of this exemption request will provide improved safety in both day and night 

operations. Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012-

size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas 

and operation within visual line of sight and national security- provide more than 

adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemptions allowing commercial 

operation of applicant's UAS. r:ly.L.--

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware 

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft' firmware upgrade process. It is recommended 

to keep the upgrade package files in your SO card. The upgrade will start automatically after power 

cycling the aircraft. 

&, • Do not perform firmware update while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

• Be sure to update the remote controller's firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the aircraft's 

firmware. 

• The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote 

controller and aircraft. 

• Confirm the update results according to the gimbal sounds. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the 

LED to blink during the update process. 

• Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SO card. 

• Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for aircraft 

and remote controller firmware updates. 

• Delete any automatically generated txt files (xxx_GS.TXT) in the SO card when updating multiple 

remote controllers.

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery. 

Updating the Aircraft Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100MB of free space on 

the SD card. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/ 

inspire-1 ). 

2. Insert the SD into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SD card. 

Remove the SD card from your PC. Ensure the Inspire 1 is powered off then insert the SD card into the 

SD card slot on the Inspire 1 camera. 

Step 3- Update the Aircraft 

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a short 

pulse of "D-D-D-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgrade is in progress and sound a "D---DD" 

beeping sound to indicate the update is complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the ".txt" file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text "result: successful" is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text "result: failed" is found or the gimbal sound a long beep sound. 

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

Remote controller firmware is included in the aircraft firmware update package. Use the same update 

package file that is downloaded from the DJI official website. Ensure the remote controller battery level is 

above 50%. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SD card or USB thumb drive. 

2. Insert the SD card into a SD card reader or the USB disk onto the remote controller USB port when 

remote controller powered off. If you do not have a SD card reader, you may insert the SD card into 

the gimbal and connect the gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller. 

Step 3- Update the Remote Controller 

1. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off the 

remote controller during the update. 

2. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a 

beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the update is 

in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping sound will stop if the 

upgrade is completed with success. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid red if upgrade is 

failed. Try upgrade again.

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains 

constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the 

Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a 

second remote controller. 

The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-View flying experience. 

The Gimbal's motion is independent of the aircraft's orientation. One user 

alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is 

required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. 

Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation 

by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain 

unchanged during the re-alignment. 

& • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) 

Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open 

ground and protect the gimbal after powering up. 

• Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The 

gimbal will recover when it dries out.

Optimal Transmission Range 

The signal transmission between aircraft and remote controller perform best within the range that 

displayed in the picture shown below: 

Optimal TransmiBslon Range 

Strong Weak 

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. 

More than one remote controller can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Remote Controller mode. In 

Dual Controllers mode, the "Master" remote controller operator controls 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

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

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-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.
