# Aircraft

This sec tion introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

# Aircraft

**Flight Controller**  The Phantom 3 Advanced's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight 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. 

## Flight **Mode** Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are 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 Advanced 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 only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P -ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A- mod e (Atti tud e ): GPS a n d V ision Posi ti o ni ng Syste m are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barom eter. The airc raft ca n sti ll a utomati ca ll y return to the home point if the control signal is lost and lhe H ome Poi nt was reco rd ed s u ccessfully . F - mod e (Functi on) : Inte llig en t O ri en tatio n Co n tro l (IOC ) is activated in this mode. For more information abo u t I OC , refe r to th e I OC secti on in the Appe n dix. 

## :Cj: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft. refer to the Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information. 

## Flight Status **Indicator** The Phantom 3 Advanced has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below:

Frc,r 1tU:':J_:) , ....

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs 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 of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators:

## Return **- to** **- Home**  **(RTH)** 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. GP S Description Home Point If a strong GPS sig nal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the l ocation from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strengt h is indicated by the GPS icon ( 111 11 ). Th e aircraft status indi cator will blink rapidly when the home point is recmded. 

## Smart **RTH** Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" o n page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app and f o ll ow the on -screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Hom e Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a co llisio n during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.**Phantom 3 Advanced** User Manual

:\): • When the Critical battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically, you may push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location.
• The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft's current location and status. 

## Failsafe **RTH** If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Return- )> to- Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal connection is re-established. 

### Failsafe **Illustration**



# & • The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsaf e RTH, therefore, it is important to set an suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the OJI Pilot app and enter " Camera" and select 

### "MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode" to set the Failsafe altitude.
• Th e aircraft will stop its ascent and return to the Home Point immediately if the throttle stick is moved during the Failsafe RTH procedure. 

## Vision Positioning **System** Th e OJI 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 Advanced can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal i s not available. The main compon e nts of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phanto m 3 Advanced; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.

• Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). 

### • Flying overwater or transparent surfaces.
• Flying over moving surfaces or objects.
• Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux 

### < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces . • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).
• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g . tiles with the same design).
• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. {/ • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0 . 3 to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water . • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the g round in low light 

### conditions (less than 100 lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation . • Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

### ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds..**Phantom 3 Advanced**  User tv1anual 

# 0 Keep animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals. 

## Flight **Recorder** Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro- USB port and launch the OJI Pilot app. 

## Attaching **and Detaching**  **the Propellers**  O Use only OJI a pproved p ropellers with your P hantom 3 Advanced.

### P- mode (Positioning): P- mode works best when the GPS signal is strong . There are three different 

### versions of P- mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Advanced depending on GPS signal strength and the 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 a sufficient GPS signal is not available. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for position holding. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is maintained. A- mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft uses only its barometer to stabilize. The aircraft can automatically return to the Home Point if remote controller signal is lost and the Home Point was 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. By default, the Flight Mode Switch is locked to P- mode. To unlock other flight modes, launch the DJI Pilot app, enter the "Camera" page, and tap "Mode", then activate "Multiple Flight Mode".
