Inspire 1 Technical Details

The petitioner will operate a sUAS made by manufacturer DJI, model Inspire 1/T600. Serial 

number W13DCC23030986. The Inspire 1/T600 description and equipment is as follows: 

• The Inspire 1/T600 is a sUAS quadcopter made by DJI that has a fixed camera gimbal 

attached to a 4K camera which sits below the aircraft fuselage. This camera allows the 

operator on the ground to see a 720P high resolution a view from the aircraft that can be 

rotated a 360 degree angle in- flight. 

• Max takeoff weight is 6.47 pounds 

• Downlink telemetry to allow the operator to see onboard information relating to safe 

operations of flight including but not limited to; battery percentage remaining, overall 

status of flight systems, GPS location for position hold, auto return to home, and 

operational failsafes. 

• The Inspire 1/T600 is limited by its software to a maximum ascent rate of 984 feet per minute 

and an altitude of 400 feet. Its maximum forward speed is 49 statue miles per hour or 37 

knots. 

• The Inspire 1/T600 is powered by a 5700 mah, 22 volt battery, providing 22 minutes of flight 

time under standard conditions per specifications. The aircraft alerts the operator with 

visual and audible warnings at 35% of battery remaining. The aircraft will not be 

operated in the air with less than 35% of battery remaining, and 0-35% is kept as 

emergency reserve to power the sUAS to a safe landing location in the event of an 

emergency. Ground Based Control and Communications System 

• The Inspire 1/T600 is controlled using a DJI manufactured transmitter, operating on FCC 

authorized frequencies of the 2.4 GHz band (2.4 – 2.483 GHz) See Manual page 57 for 

radio transmitter specifications. The transmitter has been approved by the Federal 

Communications Commission and bears approval logo on the transmitter. 

• The above listed transmitter has a lithium polymer battery powering the unit for approximately 

4 hours time between charges according to DJI specifications. 
• The Inspire 1/T600’s controller will be utilized by a single operator, but will require a visual 

observer when necessary 

• The Inspire 1/T600 when coupled with an Apple iPad Air 2 provides the operator with a 

moving map display showing exact aircraft position, and HD video from the aircraft 

camera. Also the controller has it’s own GPS receiver establishing a “home point” on 

each take off, therefore calibrating the aircraft to return to this takeoff point in the event 

of a control link signal loss or interference. 

• The Inspire 1/T600 DJI Go app will allow the operator to check for radio interference prior to 

all flights and can automatically switch to channels allowing for the clear transmission of 

telemetry and signals.

Operator’s - Safety Plan 

• Compliance with all FAA, state, and local municipal regulations. 

• Altitude of operations less than 400 Feet AGL, although most operations will be at “tree line 

level” or under 200 feet. 

• Preflight aircraft inspections conducted prior to each flight per DJI Inspire1/T600 operators 

guide. 

• Postflight aircraft inspection conducted to each flight per DJI Inspire1/T600 operators guide

• Operator will conduct preflight planning, to include a weather briefing via DUATS or FSS, 

NOTAM/TFR/MOA checks, battery - power management calculations, and any COA 

requests or ATC/Airport management notifications done before flight. 

• No operations directly over people or crowds. 

• Operations will be only during daylight times, in VMC conditions, weather minimums include 

500 feet below, 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds, and minimum 3 statue miles visibility. 

No Special VFR or IFR flights will be conducted. 

• Any inflight emergencies will result in an immediate landing. There will be no “land when 

practicable” operations. 

• The Inspire 1/T600 will be maintained per DJI instructions, and will follow manufacturer 

safety bulletins. 
• If operating near an airport or in Class B,C,D airspace under a COA, operator will notify ATC 

via telephone prior to takeoff and notify via radio utilizing the sUAS’s tail number. If 

radio or telephone communications cannot be established with ATC/Tower, the flight 

will not commence. 

• When operating inflight, operator will monitor “GUARD” frequency of 121.5 MHZ and 

comply with any emergency requests if received. 

• Operator will grant right of way to ALL other manned operations and activities at all times. 

Lastly, the petitioner’s safety plan is to operate the aircraft within the limitations provided by DJI 

– The manufacturer. This is to include, weight and balance, speed limitations, and altitude 

limitations.
