# Aircraft 

# I Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a newflight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

# ~~F~Iig~ht_M_o_d_e________________________________

# ~l 

# [J Three flight modesare available. The detailsof eachflight modeare found 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 Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning Systemfor positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraftonly uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.



## :<:): Usethe Flight Controller modeswitch to changethe flight modeofthe aircraft, refer tothe "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26for more information. 

# I Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED

The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status ofthe flight controller. Refer to the table belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

Remote Controller's Signal Lost Low BatteryWarning Critical BatteryWarning IMU Error Critical Error CompassCalibration Required

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail. r=l=1 L:P

Home Point



## !smart RTH GPS Description If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (**~.ull** 

## ). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhen the home point is recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button againto terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.Phantom3 ProfessionalUser Manual 

# I Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that mayaffect the safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distancefrom the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below:

suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter "Camera" and select "MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode" to setthe Failsafe altitude. • User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to its failsafe altitude. However

the usercan rapidlytoggle S1 switch to regain control to cancel the ascending. 

# I Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.



### 14 © 20;S OJI .A.II Ri9hts Rc:snrved.Phantom 3 Professional 

### User Manual

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments. where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

### ~ 

# /**~~**

# r~t**~** 

### .::::::. 

### --==-- 

# /**~**

# ~ Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. 2. Place the aircraft on aflat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properlyon surfaceswithout clear patternvariations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle upto lift off and the aircraftwill hover in place. 

# & The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2metersorover 4 m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects

. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10)or bright (lux> 100,000)surfaces

. • Flying oversurfacesthat can absorb soundwaves (e.g. thick carpet)

. • Flying oversurfaceswithout clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaceswith identical repeating patternsortextures (e.g. tileswith the same design)

. • Flying over inclined surfacesthatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

# Flight
This section describes safe flight practices and flight restrictions.

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

# I

Flight Environment Requirements 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, highvoltage power lines, trees, and bodiesofwater. 4. Minimize interference byavoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations and radio transmission 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 level, as the performanceofthe battery and aircraft may beaffected. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannotoperatewithin the polarareas.

Flight Limits and No-FlyZones All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide byall regulations set forth by governmentand regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operate this 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 altitudefrom exceeding 1640feet (500 m). Maximumflight altitude 

### & Radius Limits Maximumflight altitude and radius limits may bechanged in the OJI GO app. Be awarethat the maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Professionalwill fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

How do I use the Director automatic video editor? Director is an automatic video editor built into the OJI GO app. After recording several video clips, simply tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately.
How do Ichangethe control mode of my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has a4cell batterywith acapacity of 4480 mAh and avoltage of 15.2 V. My Phantom 3 does notturn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SO card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or corrupted.
Do I have to buy the Remote Controller separately? No, there is no need to buy aseparate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linked to the aircraft.
Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same time.
What does the "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controllerdo? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3will attempt to stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC section in the Appendix of the User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes.

What is the Phantom 3flight time? Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns. but the Intelligent**Flig~t** Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged.
How can I restore a video file if the power is turned off during recording? Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn the Phantom 3on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored.
How can Iensure that my pictures and videos will be synchronizedto my iOS album? You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab. select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the DJI GO app icon. If the GO app has not been granted access to your albums. the photos and videos cannot be synchronized.
What should Idoto land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground. Why is the discharge time ofthe battery not zero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use.
Can the mobiledevice holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? No. it cannot.
Howto safely operatethe aircraftwhen encountering compass error? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI GO appwill display one of the following messages: • Compass error. calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraftwill switch backto P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.
Howto troubleshootaircraft initialization error? Ifyou observe the following symptoms. it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal.

Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error. try resolve the issue by following the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to OJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.
