Flight

Once pre-fight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Inspire 1 Pilot 

Training Guide to prepare for more complex fight manoeuvres and learn to fy safely. Ensure that all 

fights are carried out in a suitable location. 

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , 

snow, rain and smog.

2. Only fy 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 fying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced.

6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these fight 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 fight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and 

legally. The fight 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 fight. In A 

mode only height limits work and fights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

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

DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fy in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

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

 If you fy out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1, but cannot fy it further. 

 If the Inspire 1 fies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fy back within 

range automatically. 

Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas 

Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI offcial website at 

http://www.dji.com/fy-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. 

Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas 

includes smaller airports.

Category A Safety Zone 

(1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no-fly zone” and a range of “restrictedaltitude zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no-fy zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the 

restricted-altitude zone.

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fy zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. 

(3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum 

altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120 m) at 5 miles (8 km). 

(4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you fy within 320 feet (100m) of the 

safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Pilot App.
