## FAA 333 Exemption Request J

**l~:** 

## 12

Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (the Reform Act), owner Gerry LHolland is hereby appling for an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) detailed below to allow for commercial operations o·f small unmanned aerial systems forthe primary purpose of aerial photography and video. Iwill offersafe, low altitude, and cost effective aerial imaging to the communities Iserve. Avariety ofindustries will benefit; Home Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Marketing, Land Development, Construction, and Property Inspections. Iwiil operate a DJI Inspire 1, a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) equipped with advanced flight control systems, high definition camera and gimbal, and advanced safety features. The sUAV will be operated by a responsible PIC (pilot in command) with a VO (visual operator)when conditions mandate and deemed necessary, offering a safe and valuable experience to myClients.
1. The DJIInspire 1with the Serial NumberofW13DCE11030073 has been registered with the FAA withthe Registration Mark of N6104G issued on October 29, 2015 with an expiration date of October 31 51 

### 2018 atwhich time itwill be renewed ifapplicable. 2. The DJIInspire 1 has a maximum takeoffweight of6.47 pounds including batteryand thus offers a lightweight, small and compactvideo platform compared to manned aircraft. A. The DJIInspire 1offers significant safety, noise, emission, security and environmental benefits not available to larger manned aircraft. 3. The DJIInspire 1 has numerous safety features such as failsafe mode, automatic landing should signal between PIC and UAS be interrupted, GPS based altitude and distance locks, flight limitingfeatures and low batterywarnings. 4. Dual controllers provide the PIC (pilot in command) tofocus on operatingthe sUAS while asecond individual operatesthe camera. 5. Inspire 1safety features are addressed in more detail in the attached Inspire 1 user manual. The safe operation ofthe UAS will be thefirst priority before, during and afterevery operation.
1. All sUAS operations will be conducted atVisual Line OfSight (VLOS) at no more than 400feetAGL. A. No person may act as an operatororVO for more than one unmanned aircraftoperation at one time.

### 2. No sUAS operations will be conducted within S NM ofan airport and will be in FAA class Gairspace. 3. No sUAS operations will occur directly over densely populated areas, un-approved government buildings, power lines, or major roads.
4. All sUAS operationswill take place during daylight hours under conditions equivalent to Visual Flight Rules (VFR) with the UAS no more than 1000 ft from the PIC. S. Dual sUAS operations will have a PIC and VO present and all operations will be within visual line of sight (VLOS) of both the PIC and VO.
A. May use visual observer (VO) but not required When single PIC (VO) can be used safely.
B. First -Person view camera cannot satisfy "see -and Avoid" requirement but can be used as

Long as requirement is satisfied in otherways. 6. PIC and VO will be able to verbally communicate at all times.
7. The UAS will yield to all manned aircraft at all times.
8. All required permits and permissions will be obtained from local and state government should they be required. A. No Operations are allowed in Class A (18,000 feet and above) airspace.

B. Operations in Class B, C, D, and Eairspace are allowed with the required ATC Permission. C. Operations in Class Gairspace are allowed without ATC permission.
9. A

**pre~flight** 

### inspection by the PIC will be performed priorto each flightto assure thatthe UAS is safe forflight. A post-flight inspection will also be performed as an added level ofsafety.
10. Full aircraft inspections will be completed in accordance with manufactures instructions.
11. At no time shall the UAS be operated with missing or manufacturer unapproved parts, or in any condition that could pose a hazard to any otheraircraft or structure or person on the ground.
12. The sUAS will not be operated at a battery level below 20%. The DJI Inspire 1 is equipped with specific individual cell life percent ofthe battery which is displayed upon command using the on screen information display 13. Priorto all UAS operations a pre-flight meeting will be held by the PIC to determine the parameters offlight in agiven location, any hazards present, weather conditions, safety procedures atthe specific location and approximate duration and route offlight.
14. The PIC will have a minimum ofSO 

### hrs flyingtime and·operated at least SO 

### individual flights ofsimilar sUAS Quad Copter aircrafts. It is my beliefthat small unmanned aerial systems, used by experienced and responsible operators, following the policies outlined above, operating in privacy conscious way; will in

### turn offer aerial imaging to the general public in ways that are more cost effective, 

### safe, and efficient than the traditional methods of manned aircraft. I respectfully request the FAA to grant an exemption to Gerry L

### Holland, for commercial UAS aerial photography operations underthe Reform Act of2012. Ifany of procedures, policies, orcontent ofthis request do not meet the requirements ofan exemption, Iwill adjust my policies in accordance to the FAA's requirements outlined in the granted exemption.

Sincerely, Gerry L

EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY Gerry L

### Holland requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional regulations that apply to the operation of DJIInspire 1 or similar sUAS's forthe purpose ofaerial photography and video. 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) and (b) Gerry I. 

### Holland is specially trained to conduct the sUAS operations. While I will not hold commercial pilot licenses, Iwill have at least 100 hrs offlying time, have conducted at least 100 individual flights and read sUAS manufactures manuals and operating procedures. In addition each VO will be required to sign a document con'firming the understanding ofoperating and safety policies ofthe granted exemption. The sUAS will not carry propertyfor compensation or hire since it will be used solely to provide my clients with aerial imaging. Without an exemption, Iwould be required to hold a commercial pilot certificate under §61.133. However, the risk associated with the contemplated operations is less than the risk posed by atraditional aircraft. The sUAS will fly at altitudes well below the permissible limits for othercivil aircraft, eliminating the risk to other aircraft, and within a geographical envelope under the sole control ofGerry L

### Holland. Requiring a commercial pilot certificate would provide no appreciable safety benefit and would needlessly impose additional cost on Gerry L

### Holland. Because the contemplated operations would not comply with §61.113(b)(1) and none ofthe other exceptions to paragraph (a) apply, relief is needed from both paragraphs (a) and (b). 14 CFR Part21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates This part establishes the procedures forthe issuance ofan airworthiness certificate. While the FAA continues to work to develop airworthiness standards for UAS, I request an experimental certificate be issued forthe UAS operated by the applicant under eitheror both of the following provisions: 21 .191 Experimental certificates. Experimental certificates are issued forthe following purposes: Research and development. Testing new aircraft design concepts, new aircraft equipment, new aircraft installations, new aircraft operating techniques, or new uses for aircraft. Showing compliance with regulations. Conducting flight tests and other operations to show compliance with the airworthiness regulations including flights to show compliance for issuance oftype and supplemental type certificates, flights to substantiate major design changes, and flights to show compliance with the function and reliability requirements ofthe regulations.

### Since the experimental certificate can be used for commercial purposes such as market surveys, sales demonstrations, and customer crew training, Iwould expect that an experimental certificate would permit commercial purpose as well. The aircraft will not carry persons or property and will only fly understrict operational requirements. The sUAS also carries no combustible fuel, weighs less than 6.5 pounds and is constructed primarily of plastics and composites, I propose the UAS is at least as 

### safe, if not significantly safer than conventionally certified aircraft used within similar parameters. Ifan experimental airworthiness certificate is not appropriate forthis application, then I request an exemption of 14 CFR Part21, Subpart H, and the requirement for an airworthiness certificate in general, citing the equivalent level ofsafety outlined in the previous paragraph. 14 CFR 91.203(a) & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or

### crew." As the sUAS is too small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance and does not carry acrew, we propose the following in orderto meetthe intent of91.203 and provide an equivalent level ofsafety. All documents deemed appropriate by the FAA forthis aircraft will be located at the operational ground·station for each flight in proximity to the PIC and VO and will be available for inspection on request. In orderto identifythe aircraft, we propose to use the manufacturer's model and production codes located on the aircraft as well as my Name and Number affixed to the aircraft as well. 14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements. This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual is in the aircraft. The intent ofthis requirement is to ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. I request an exemption to this requirement as the UAS cannot, given its size, carry the flight manual. To meet an equivalent level ofsafety, I propose to have the current manufacturer's flight manual Iat the operational ground station ofeach flight, available to both the PIC and VO. 14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General. The regulation provides that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, system, orstructure. Since the UAS will be operating at a maximum 400 feet AGL, I cannot comply with this requirement and thus ask for an exemption. In

**o~der** 

### to provide an equivalent level ofsafety, we propose the following. The UAS will only be operated within VLOS ofthe PIC and VO at a maximum range of 1000feet from the ground station. A preflight safety risk assessment will be completed priorto each flight to ensure the UAS is in a condition for safe flight and that the planned operation can be completed safely. Gerry Holland's Flight Manual and Pre-Flight Checklist is included as Appendix A and Appendix B. The UAS will not be operated within 5 NM ofany airport and will only be operated with the consent ofproperty manager and/orowner. 14 CFR 91.121. Altimeter settings. The regulation provides that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimetersetting available within 100 nautical miles ofthe aircraft. The UAV will always be flying below 400 feet AGL within VLOS ofthe PIC and VO that will

### provide separation from terrain, structures and other aircraft. Also, the UAS will continually transmit an AGL reading back to the controller at the ground station and the AGL lock in the UAS's software will be set to 400 feet, 

### providing an equivalent level ofsafety. 14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements forflight in VFR conditions. The regulation provides that no person may begin aflight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes. The UAS is smart battery powered and continually transmits battery charge information back to the ground station to be evaluated by the PIC who will return the UAS back to the ground station priorto the battery showing 20% remaining capacity. Ifeel that this combined with the fact thatthe UAS will have a maximum range of 1000 feet from the ground station provides an equivalent level ofsafety.

Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, and Alterations.
I propose that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection and "be authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." As provided for in Appendix A, 

### the PIC will inspect the aircraft priorto every flightto ensure it is in airworthy condition. A maintenance check will also be performed at intervals instructed by the manufacturer, DJI. Any general maintenance and repair or replacement ofcomponents will be completed by the PIC following the manufacturer's recommendations and documented in accordance with 91.417. In any case where the UAS cannot be returned to service by the PIC, or is suspected to be unsafe, the UAS will not be operated until returned to all manufacturer specifications. Ifeel that due to the simplicity, size, robustness and construction ofthe aircraft, the PIC can assure an equivalent level ofsafety. 8900.227 Paragraph 16(cXa) PIG Medical. and Paragraph 16(eX1) Observer Medical This policy provides that both the PIC and observer must have avalid FAA second-class medical certificate issued under part 67 in orderto perform as a pilot or observer. Ifeel that requiring the PIC and VO to meetthe same medical requirements as a commercial pilot carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden. My current DOT Drivers License has the required dot Medical Certification electronically attached as well as in my possession at all times. Since the UAV is ofsmall size, unmanned, has an auto return home feature, will be operating at low altitudes, will not operate overa densely populated area, and required to be in VLOS ofthe IC and VO at all times, we feel both the PIC and VO requiring vision corrected to 20/20 and a valid state issued driver's license supports medical requirements.

# Flight Controller The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJI**fligh~** 

### controllerwith 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 aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight. 

# I Flight Mode



# - Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode arefound in the section below: 

### Pmode (Positioning) :Pmodeworks best when GPS signal is strong. There arethree different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1depending 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-ATil: NeitherGPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer forpositioning, 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 barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lostand ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information · about IOC, referto the IOC inAppendix.

:\): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27for

### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a pointthat may affectthe safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI GO app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home -Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distancefrom the Home Point. Aircraftwill land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraftto land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process.

## Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 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, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocularcamera.

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 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 1can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

### Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P': as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to liftoff, and the Inspire 1will hoverin place. 

# Lt. The performance of your Inspire 1'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 oversound 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 aircraftcautiouslywhen in anyofthe following situations:

·i"\· ·V· 

### • 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 Bm/s at 2meters or over4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent 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 oversurfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying oversurfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design}. • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft

. • In the event of loss of remote 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

ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. \ 

### • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequencyof 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 (below0.5 meters} in fast speed. 

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

When both sticks are centered, the Inspire 1will hover in place. The more the stick is pushed awayfrom the center position, the faster the Inspire 1will change elevation. Always push the stick gentlyto prevent sudden and unexpected elevation changes. Moving the left stick to the left or right controls the rudder and rotation of the aircraft. Push the sick leftto rotate the aircraft counter clock-wise, and push the stick right to rotate the aircraft clockwise. Ifthe stick is centered, the Inspire 1will stay facing its current direction. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the fasterthe Inspire 1will rotate. Moving the right stick up and down changes the aircraft's forward and backward pitch. Push the stick up to flyforward and down to fly backward. The Inspire 1will hover in place ifthe stick is centered. Push the stickfurtherawayfrom the center position for alarger pitch angle (maximum 35°) and fasterflight. Moving the right stick control left and right changes the aircraft's left and right pitch. Push leftto fly left and rightto fly right. The Inspire 1 will hover in place ifthe stick is centered. Push the stickfurther awayfrom the center position for alarger pitch angle (maximum 35°) and fasterflight. Gimbal Dial: Turn the dial to the right, and the camera will shift to point upwards. Turn the dial to the left, and the camera will shift to point downwards.

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 1depending 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 ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about JOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. _The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI GO app,

### 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 ofthe aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-View flying experience. The Gimbal's motion is independentof 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 protectthe gimbal after powering up. • Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure.

# 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 in a suitable location. 

# IFlight 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 ofwater. 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 abbve sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

# IFlight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits 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 togetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height & 

### Radius Limits 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 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below showthe details of these limits.

No-FlyZones 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 ofthe No-Fly Zones are explained below: Airport: (1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised ofTakeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles ofvarious 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 OJI GO app.

# I Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poorflight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.



# 0 · DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones. • DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.


### Calibration Procedures Choose an open spaceto carry outthe following procedures. 1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap Aircraft Status Indicator bar in the app and select "Calibrate", then follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a solid green light.

# INSPIRE 1 tv1aintenance Manual [ V1.-C'J] 2015.2

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, it is recommended that comprehensive**m~intenance** be performed after every 200 flights or 50 flight hours. This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued reliability.

I. Checking the Battery

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If

there are any signs of damage to the battery; stop using it and discharge the battery to 10% or below for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any reason. 2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to ensure a more reliable connection. 3. Check the metal battery power connectors for

damage. If the connectors appear burnt, try to clear them. This can be done by inserting a piece of sandpaper (1mm thick) into the connectors to polish the metal. 4. Check the contact pins in the battery compartment to

ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able to establish easy contact with the battery connectors and should not be bent. 5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear

burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If there is serious erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are secure. This prevents the battery from becoming loose during flight. 7. Check the power cables between the arms and the

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from being damaged. 9. Run ihe DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells

are at similar voltage levels and stay at the same level when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain voltage levels above 3.7V but any cell is 0.2V higher or lower than the others, contact OJI for analysis. You can also check the battery cell warning history. If any warning are reported, contact OJI. II. Checkingthe Transformation System 1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm

that the connection points are still in good condition. 2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is discovered. Clean the lead screws with WD-40 spray if they show signs of rust. 3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation,

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the servomotors worn. 4. After the landing gear rises, check the lead screws

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and grease the bearings. 5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches,

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact DJI Support to arrange repairs.

Ill. Checking theAircraft 1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately

tightened. 2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. If there is

any reason to believe that detectable damage might affect flight safety, consult with OJI Support. 3. Check the carbon tubes of the arms for damage. 4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. If they are

loose, secure them with 502 glue. 5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the

GPS module or around the antennas on the landing gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with conductive material) that might affect or block the signal. 6. Check that the right and left landing gear rest at the

same tilt angle.

© 20i5 DJL All Rights Reserved.IV. Checking the Motors 1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not

become loose. 2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please replace the motors. This may be a sign that the bearings have been worn out. 3. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Carefully

examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any problems are detected, contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap

between the motor and motor base is even. If not contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor

base are tight and the plastic components around the motors are in good condition. If not please tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any broken plastic components.

V. Checking the Propellers

1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending,

breakage or cracking on a propeller, do not use it. 2. Attach the propeller to the motor, turn on the aircraft,

and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from the aircraft and observe the rotating propellers. If you can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this propeller is damaged and should not be used.

VI. Checking the IMU 1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition of the IMU

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a flat, stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, support the aircraft with four objects of equal height). Do not touch the craft during the calibration. 2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise

or ·vibration from the fan located on the front of the aircraft. If any irregularity is detected, replace the fan.

VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System 1. Check the 4 antennas on the landing gear to ensure

that they are secure. Also check for any bending or damage. 2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for

damage 3. Check the neck strap for damage or wear, replace

if necessary. VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app {while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount connector may be worn. In this case, replace the rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the gimbal quick-mount. 2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount

connector board, if any contact is bent, replace the quick-mount connector. 3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount

connector board, if there is any dirt, -rub it clean with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it should be replaced. 4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize

itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when

the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual vibration and the fan should be replaced.

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 1. Check the lens of the camera. If any dirt or residue

is detected, gently clean the lens. 2. Check for and remove objects that might block the

sensors. 3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely

installed on the aircraft. 4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold

the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is active, the Vision Positioning System should function normally.

______ ____; Battery Use • Never use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.DJI.

com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no responsibility for any accidents caused by nonDJI batteries. • Never use or charge swollen, leakyor damaged

batteries. If your batteries are abnormal, contact DJI or its designated dealers for further assistance. • Never install orremove the batteryfrom theaircraft

when it is turned on. Do not insert or remove batteries if the plastic cover had been torn or compromised in anyway. • The battery should be used in temperatures from

-10°C to 40°C. Use of the battery in environments above 50°C can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery below -10"C can lead to permanent damage. • Do not use the battery in strong electrostatic or

electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, the battery control board may malfunction and a serious accident may happen during flight. • Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any

way, or the battery may catch fire or explode. • Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If

any electrolytes make contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes, and then see a doctor immediately. • DO NOT use the battery if it was involved in a

crash or heavy impact. • Land the aircraftimmediatelywhen the lowbattery

level warning activates in the DJI GOapp. • Do not allow the batteries to come into contact

with any kind of liquid. Do not leave batteries qut in the rain or near a source of moisture. Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside of the battery comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur, potentially resulting the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion. Ifthe battery falls into water with the aircraft during flight, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and open area. Maintain a far distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never use the battery again, and disposeofthe battery properlyasdescribed in Battery Disposal below. • Do not heat batteries. Put out any battery fire

using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher. Never usewaterto put out a battery fire. 

### • Do not charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller at the same time, otherwise the charger mayoverheat. • Do not leave batteries in a microwave oven orin

a pressurized container. 

### • Do not place loose batterycells on anyconductive

surface, such as metal-toppledtable. • Do not put the loose cells in pocket, bag or

.drawer where they may short-circuit against other items or where battery terminals could be pressed against each other. • Do not drop or strike batteries: Do not place

heavy objects on batteries or charger. Avoid dropping batteries. • Clean batteryterminals with a dryand clean cloth. Charging the Battery • If the battery falls into water with the aircraft

during flight, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and open area. Maintain a safe distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never usethe battery again, and disposeof the battery properly as described in the Battery Disposal section below. Do NOT heat batteries. Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher. • Charge and discharge the battery completely

once every 10 to 15 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is 0% of power or until it can no longer be turned on,then recharge it to the maximum capacity.This power cycling procedurewill optimize thebattery life. • DJ I intelligent battery is designed to stop

charging when it is full. However it is good practice to monitor charging progress and disconnectthe batteries when fully charged. • Disconnect charger when not in use. Examine

charger regularly for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure orother parts. Do not cleanthe charger with denatured alcohol or other flammable solvents. Never use a damaged charger. Battery Storage and Transportation • Keep batteries out of the reach of children and

pets.

water. • Do not drop, strike, impale, or manually shortcircuitthe battery. • Keep the battery away from metal objects such

### ,_ 

# ·-

as necklaces and hairpins. • Discharge the battery to 30%-50% of the battery

level if it will not be used for 7 days or more. This can greatlyextend the battery life. • Battery discharges automatically to to around

40% to 65% when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent the battery from swelling. It takes around 2 days to discharge the battery to 65%, It is normal that you may feel moderate heat emits from the battery during the discharge process. Set the discharging thresholds in the DJI GO app. • The battery will enter hibernation mode if

depleted and stored for a long period. Leave the battery unattended for 5 minutes, and then it will power off. Recharge the battery to bring it out of hibernation. • Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored

for an extended period. • Never transport a damaged battery or a battery

with power level higherthan 50%. Battery Disposal • Dispose of the battery into specific recycling

boxes only after a complete discharge. Do not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling regulations of batteries. • If the power on/off button of the Intelligent Flight

Battery is disabled and the battery cannot be fully discharged, please contact a professional battery disposal/recycling agentfor further assistance. Maintaining a Healthy Battery Life
• Never over-discharge, as this may lead to

battery cell damage. • Never use the battery when the temperature is

too high or too low. • Never store the battery in environments with a

temperature higherthan 60°C. • Battery life may be reduced if not used for a

long time.
Notice • Before carrying the Intelligent Flight Battery on a

airline flight, it must first be fully discharged. This can be done by using it in your Inspire 1 or by connecting your remote controller to the battery using the Remote Controller Charging Cable. Only dischargethe battery in afireproof location. • Store Intelligent Flight Batteries in a ventilated

# Individual Parts 

# IRemote Controller 1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller. Referto the user manual for more information about howto linkthe aircraft. 2. Ifthe remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10 minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert. 3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft's flight. You may change itto a Master remote controllervia the DJI Pilot app, and then link ittothe aircraftto control flight. 4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly·in place and does not slip. 5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate, ensure the DJIIogo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller awayfrom any metal objects. 6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly decrease performance. 7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controllerfrom the aircraft's Intelligent Flight Battery. 

## !Camera 1. Photos orvideos cannot betransmitted orcopied from the camera ifthe Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off. 2. Be sure to power offthe Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved and any recorded videos may be damaged. 3. Test the camera by shooting afew test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important pictures. 4. Respectthe privacyofotherswhen usingthe camera. Makesureyou complywith local privacy laws, regulations and moral standards. 5. Checkcamera settings before useto make sureyou can adjustthemtofityour needs. 

## !Gimbal 1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal connector, as any damage will cause itto function abnormally. 2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct the gimbal's full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protectthe gimbal after powering up. 3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop. 4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

### lcomp_a_s_s

______________________________________________

## ~ 1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight performance or even failure. 2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This includes areas where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges. 3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones. 4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spacesto outdoor spaces. 5. Ifthe rear 

### LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate. 6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to another location and try again. 

# IParameter Settings The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter settings. 

# IBattery Referto the Intelligent Right Battery Safety Guidelines and battery stickerfor usage and maintenance information. 

# IStorage and Transportation 1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 22°C and 28°C for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the temperature range of -20°C to 45°C. 2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If it gets wet, wipe dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause permanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substancesto clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dusty areas. 3. Always keep all parts out of the reach of children, asthe cables, straps or small parts may be dangerous if swallowed. If swallowed, goto the hospital immediately. 4. Detach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over long distances. Also replace the Gimbal Coverwhen storing. 

# IMaintenance and Upkeep 1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, please contact a DJI authorized dealer. 2

.. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used. 3. Regularly checkthe Battery Level indicatorsto see the current battery level and overall battery life.
