# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1 '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 aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight.



## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: Pmode**(Pos~ioning)** : Pmode works bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe 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-A TTl: Neither GPS orVision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometerfor 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 barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (laC) is activated in this mode. For more information about laC, referto the lac in Appendix.



## :J:} Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The INSPIRE 1comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:**~--Aircraft** Status Indicator

## 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 monocular camera.

I )-j-'\-
- [2]**[1]---~** 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.

Followthe steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1on aflat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work 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

. 

## .&. 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 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 cautiouslywhen in any ofthe following situations: • Rying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Rying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters orover4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux 

### < 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. • Rying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Rying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflectsound 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 overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith 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) in fast speed. 

# o Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensoremits high frequency sound that is only audibleto some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the SO card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only OJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly, match the nutwith the dots on the motors ofyour Inspire 1 : © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

Pmode (Positioning) : Pmode works bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe 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 barometerfor 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 barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully.

# Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to leam howto fly 

### safely. Ensurethatall flights are carried out in asuitable location.



## Right 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 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 

### basestations or radio transmission towers. 

### 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmentfactor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700feet 

### (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operatewithin the polar areas in Mp" mode. ::I!



## Right limits and Right Restriction Area Flight limits on heightand distance can be 

### seto The details of

### theseflight limits are described in thefollowing section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (Intemational 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. Theflight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No FlyZones. When operating in PMode, height, distance limits and No FlyZones work

### together to manage flight. In A mode only height limitsworkand flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height

### of RestrictedAreas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-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 smallerairports. CategoryASafety 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-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around adesignated safety zone is a no-flyzone, 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 fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, awarning message will appearon the DJI PilotApp.
