Flight Controller 

The Inspire 1 Pro's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such 

as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and 

Dynamic Home Point These features ensure the safe return of your atrcraft if the control signal is lost A 

flight recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight 

Flight Mode 

Three flight modes are available. 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 different states of 

P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 Pro 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. 

:\): Use the Flight Controller rnode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P29 for more information.

Vision Positioning System 

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft 

identity its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 Pro can hover in place 

more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main 

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1 Pro, including [1 ]two 

sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera. 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 Pro is powered on. No manual action is 

required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By 

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 Pro can perform precision hovering even 

when no GPS is available. 

18 
INSPIRE 1 PRO User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vrsion Positioning 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 Pro on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning 

system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green 

light. which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the 

throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 Pro will hover in place. 

& The performance of your Inspire 1 Pro's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A' mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

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

• Flying over water 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> 10,000) surfaces. 

• Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Fly'rng over surfaces wifnout clear patterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away frorn the aircraft. 

• In the event of loss of rernote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

:\): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is frorn 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system rnay not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

• Vision Positioning system rnay not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1001ux). 

• 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 stabil'rze the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0.5 rneters) in fast speed. 

0 Keep the anirnals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning systern is activated. The sonar 

sensor ernits high frequency sound that is only audible to sorne anirnals.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out rn a suitable location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 1 Om/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 of water. 

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 1 Pro cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 

Flight limtts on height and distance can be set. The details of these 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 limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than i 20 meters. 

Max Height & Radius Umits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI 

GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 Pro will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

within range automatically. 

No-Fly Zones 

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

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned 

aircraft 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-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1 + 1 mile around the airport. the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, 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 R1 + 1 mile. 

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

in the DJI GO app.

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within 

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area. 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 

km) of this zone, a warning message wili appear in the DJI GO app.
