Drone/UAS Practice Group 35 E Wacker Drive Suite 1875 Chicago, IL 60601 Tel. 312.201.8310 Jeffrey@Antonelli

- Law.com U.S. Department of Transportation June 25, 2015 Docket Management System 1200 New Jersey Ave S.E. Washington, D.C. 20590 Re: Request for Exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R. Dear Sir or Madam: Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Antonelli Law files this petition for exe mption on behalf of Hover Effect, LLC ("Hover Effect"), an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft (“UAs”) used for aerial photography and videography for (1) closed-set filming for motion picture and television production; and (2) the real estate industry

. Specifically, applicant seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A to allow commercial operation of its UAs, so long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in a grant of this petition. This request is substantially similar to other petitions previously approved, and should be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure. Approval o f the exemption for petitioner will allow commercial operation of the DJI Phantom 1, DJI S800, Cine S tar 8 and Cinestar 8 HL for the purpose of aerial photography and videography for (1) closed-set filming for motion picture and television production; and (2) real estate photography and videography in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise prescribed in an Air Traffic Organization (“ATO”) issued COA. The DJI Phantom 1 has been previously approved in Exemption Nos. 11318, 11464, 11509, 11531, 11547, and 11577. The DJI S800 has been previously approved in Exemption Nos. 11225, 11252, 11401, 11468, 11547 , 11606, and 11788. The CineStar 8 has been previously approved in Exemption Nos. 11251, 11488, and the CineStar 8 HL has been previously approved in Exemption No. 11284. The proposed uses fall into the categories determined by the FAA to be eligible for the expedited "summary grant" procedure. The UA s covered by this petition are small battery powered craft, weighing no more than 28 lbs. ( 1 2.7 kg.), inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UA under the strict conditions proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, as Congress intended, while still allowing commercial operations. Operations using th ese UA s are far safe r than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, carry highly flammable fuel, and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, infrastructure, and people.

I. Publi shable Summary Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules: 14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 C.F.R. 45.29; 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.119(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (a)(2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) to operate commercially a small unmanned aircraft system (UA) ( 55 lbs or less). Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow commercial operation of the DJI Phantom 1, DJI S800, Cinestar 8 and Cinestar 8 HL for aerial photography and videography for the purposes of (1) closed-set motion picture and television pr oduction; and (2) the real estate industry in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO issued COA. The requested exemption should be granted because operation of small UA, weighing approximately 28 lbs. ( 12.7 kg.), inclusive of bat tery and payload, conducted in the strict conditions outlined below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing commercial operations. The lightweight aircraft covered by the exemption are far safer than conventional operations conduc ted with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft weighing thousands of pounds and carrying highly flammable fuel, and operating in close proximity to the ground and people. The seven factors Congress directed the FAA to consider when approving Section 333 exem ption petitions

- size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight

– each support the request. In particular, the aircraft are small, and will operate at slow speeds , and close to the ground in order to more safely and efficiently conduct operations that would otherwise be significantly more expensive or time consuming. The substantial increase of safety and decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk us e of UAs to conduct these operations, weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption. II.

IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a level of safety at least equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft opera tions under the current regulatory structure. Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petitioner agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under a grant of this petition. Appendix A contains a matrix connecting: ( i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it provides an equivalent level of safety and (iii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants in which the FAA recognized this equivalent level of safety. Approval of the comme rcial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security issue. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate and either a third class medical or a U.S. Driver’s License , so he or she will have been subject to security scre enings by the Department of Homeland Security. V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption 1. The UA will weigh no more than 28 lbs., inclusive of battery and technical payload. 2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the p urpose of (1) closed-set filming for motion picture and television production and (2) real estate photography and videography in Class G airspace nationwide

. 3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a pilot and visual observer. 4. Flights will be o perated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL. 5. The UA will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 35 knots. 6. Minimum fli ght crew for each operation will consist of the UA pilot in command (PIC) and a visual observer (VO). 7. The PIC will have, at minimum, a sport pilot license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. Driver’s License

. 8. The petitioner will not pe rmit any PIC to operate the UA unless the PIC meets its qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UA in a manner consistent with how the UA will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR §61.51(b). A record of the PIC training will be documented and made available u pon request by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations will be considered nonparticipan ts, and the PIC will operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

# 10

9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obs tacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to operate the camera or other instruments. 10. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents. 11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day’s activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing du ties in connection with the operations be present for this briefing. 12. Prior to each flight, the PIC will inspect the UA, including the Ground Control Station, to ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affec ts the safe operation of the UA, the PIC will not operate the UA until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UA is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance and alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft record s. 13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component. The PIC who conducts the functional test f light will make an entry in the aircraft records. 14. The petitioner will carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the UA manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, a nd life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work accomplish ed, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections. 15. The UA will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate verbally. They will not be permitted t o use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations. 16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point a nd prepare to land the UA with 25% battery power remaining. 17. Actual total flight time for each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery reserve. 18. The UA will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unexpected obstacles or emer gencies. 19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a pre

- determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered

# 11

in accordance with the operating documents

. 20. If the UA a nd its radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection will be triggered and the multirotor will return to home and land automatically, rather than flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location. 21. The operating do cuments required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time the UA is operating. These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official u pon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemption grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the grant conditions and limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petiti oner will follow the procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or revises its operating documents, it will present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. If the petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the Petitioner will petition for an amendment to the grant of exemption. 22. Petitioner will obtain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of the landowners of the land over which flights will be conducted. 23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 24. UA op erations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights will not be conducted under special visual flight rules (SVFR). 25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. Petitioner will request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements. 26. The UA will not be operated within 5 nauti cal miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management has been obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the ope rator’s COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport management will be made available to the Administrator upon request. 27. The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO issued COA. 29. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number,

# 12

registered in acco rdance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N

- Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large as practicable. 30. Before conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used fo r operation and control of the UA complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 31. The UA will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activiti es at all times. 32. The UA will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 33. The UA will not be operated over congested or densely populated areas. 34. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 feet from all nonparticipa ting persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, the PIC will ensure that flight operations cease immediately. b. The aircra ft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it d oes not present an undue hazard. c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a). 35. Petitioner will report any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UA Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions c ontained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

. When conducting operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming and production, petitioner will adhere to the following additional conditions a nd limitations: 36. The operator will have a Motion Picture and Television Operations Manual (MPTOM), included as Exhibit 2, during operations. 37. A t least 3 days before aerial filming, the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Pl an of Activities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3

- day notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following: a. Da tes and times for all flights; b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UA aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

- scene operation of the UA; d. Make, model, and serial or N−Numbe r of UA to be used;

# 13

e. Na me and certificate number of UA PICs involved in the aerial filming; f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event ( the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request ) ; g. Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h. A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will b e conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation. 38. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the MPTOM. VI. Privac y There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy because all flights will occur over land which Hover Effect has received permission to fly over from the landlord or an authorized agent. When the UA is being flown, the o nboard cameras will be focused on ground area s , not on nonparticipating individuals who may be present during operations. Please refer to Exhibit 1, Section 8 : Privacy for Petitioner's privacy policy. VII. Public Interest and Safety The planned UA use will in crease ground safety in both the motion picture and television production and the real estate industries. The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using a UA with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passenger s or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UA operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Satisfaction of the cri teria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012

– size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security

– provide more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemption allowing commercial operation of applicant’s UA, pursuant to petitioner’s rules of operation. Petitioner has adopted a risk management assessment process in order to ensure that commercial operations are safe. Please r efer to Exhibit 1, Appendix A: Risk Management Tool for this assessment. The FAA has previously approved the DJI S800 for closed set motion picture and television operations in Exemption 11401. The FAA has previously approved the Cinestar 8 for closed set motion picture and television operations in Exemption No. 11488. The FAA has previously approved the Cinestar 8 HL for closed set motion picture and television operations in Exemption No. 11284.

Before use of the product, please accept some flight training (Using a simulator to practice flying, getting instruction from a professional person, etc.). 2. Check that all parts of the multi-rotor are in good condition before flight. Do not fly with aging or broken parts. 3. Check that the propellers and the motors are installed correctly and firmly before flight. Make sure the rotation direction of each propeller is correct. Do not get close to or even touch the working motors and propellers to avoid serious injury. 4. Do not over load the multi-rotor (should be less than 1200g). 5. Make sure that the transmitter battery and flight battery are fully charged. 6. Try to avoid interference between the remote control transmitter and other wireless equipment. 7. Make sure to switch on the transmitter first, then power on the multi-rotor before takeoff! Power off the multi-rotor first, then switch off the transmitter after landing! 8. The fast rotating propellers of PHANTOM will cause serious damage and injury. Always fly the multi-rotor 3m or above away from you and unsafe conditions, such as obstacles, crowds, high-voltage lines, etc. FLY RESPONSIBLY. 9. All parts must be kept out of the reach of children to avoid CHOKE HAZARD; if a child accidentally swallows any part you should immediately seek medical assistance. 10.

the last four green flashes) in the Step5. z After the system start and self- checking has finished, if the LED blinks Red, Yellow and Green continually, that

means the IMU data is abnormal. The PHANTOM will not work, please connect to the Assistant Software and follow the tips to do operation. If it blinks red and yellow lights alternately ( ), that means the compass error is too big, it can be caus ed by the following three cases. Please connect to the Assistant Software, select the “tools” tab and follow the tips of the “IMU Calibration” to do operation. 1. There are ferromagnetic substance around; first make sure that the compass has been calibrated correctly, you can lift the aircraft up (about 1m from the ground), and stay aw ay from the surrounding possible ferromagnetic material object, if there is no red and yellow flashing after lifting it up about 1m from the ground, then it will not affect the flight. 2. The compass module had been put near a magnet; in this situation please timely replace the compass for a new one, otherwise it will lead to some abnormal action, or even loss of control. 3. The compass is not properly calibrated; in this situation please calibrate the compass correctly again, please see the GPS compass calibration for details.

The GPS module has a built-in magnetic field sensor for measuring the geomagnetic field, which is not the same in different areas. The GPS module will not work unless the Compass Module has been connected. Make sure the Compass Module connections are correct. Please always keep the compass module away from the magnet. If this situation occurs please change the compass module before flying. Otherwise it may damage the compass module and lead the aircraft to work abnormally or even be out of control. Calibrate the compass before the first flight or when flying in a different area. Make sure to keep away from ferromagnetic substance and other electronic equipment when calibrating or flying. If you keep having calibration failure, it might suggest that there is magnetic interference or other ferromagnetic substance, please avoid flying in this

area. If you have calibration failure or the LED blinks red and yellow lights alternately ( ), please connect to the Assistant Software, select the “Tools” tab and follow the tips of the “IMU Calibration” to do operation.

1. If in GPS ATTI. Mode, place the aircraft in an open space without buildings or trees. Take off the aircraft after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (Red LED blinks once or no blinking). If in ATTI. Mode, you can skip this step. 2. Place the aircraft 3 meters away from you and others, to avoid accidental injury. 3. Start-up

9 Switch on the transmitter first, then power on multi- rotor! Keep the aircraft stationary until the system start and self-check has finished. 9 Please wait for the system to warm up gradually with the LED blinks Yellow 4 times quickly ( ). You should not start the motors until the blinking disappears. 9 Keep the aircraft stationary, and execute the CSC to start the motors.

9 Release the yaw, roll and pitch sticks and keep them at the neutral position, at the same time raise t he throttle stick from the bottom. The motors will stop if you do not push the throttle stick from the bottom within 3 sec and you will need to re-start the motors. 9 Keep raising the throttle stick until all the rotors are working, push the throttle stick to the mid position and then take-off your multi-rotor gently, pay attention not to push the stick excessively. 9 Pay attention to the aircraft movement at any time, and use the sticks to adjust the aircraft's position. Keep the yaw, roll, pitch and throttle sticks at the mid position to hover the aircraft at desired height. 

### 4. Lower the aircraft slowly until touch down is achieved. The motors will stop automatically after 3 seconds, or you can repeat the start-up stick command to stop the motors sooner. 

### 5. Please always power off the aircraft first, and then switch off the transmitter after landing. F L Y I N G N O T E S ͜ ͜ ͜

9 At the first motors start, the system will check the sensors Bias and you are asked to keep the aircraft stationary (no need of horizontal level). If you cannot start the motors and the LED blinks Green 6 times quickly ( ), it means that the sensor error is too big. Please connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" - > IMU calibration, carry out basic calibration. Note: after the first successful motors start, this checking will be disabled an d it is no need any more to keep the aircraft stationary during starting motors. 9 If in GPS ATTI. Mode, keep the aircraft flying in the open space without obstruction. Pay attention to the GPS satellite status indicator LED. When GPS signal has been lost fo r 3s (red LED blink twice or three times), system enters ATTI. Mode automatically. 9 If the battery voltage is too low for flying, the aircraft enters the first level protection with LED flashing quickly Red, please land ASAP. Once the aircraft enters the se cond level protection, the aircraft will drop height automatically. 9 If you want to put the PHANTOM in a car, please keep it away from the speaker, since the compass module may be magnetized. 9 DO NOT fly near to ferromagnetic substances, to avoid strong magnetic interference with the GPS. 9 It is recommended to land the aircraft slowly, to prevent the aircraft from damage when landing. 9 If the Transmitter indicates low-battery alert, please land ASAP. In this condition the Transmitter may cause the aircraft to go out of control or even crash.

H o m e - p o i n t : Every time you power on, after first motors start, and if 6 or more GPS satellites are found (Red light blinks once or no blinking) for 10 seconds, the current position of multi-rotor will be saved as home-point by MC automatically.

Note 1. Please make sure to record the home-point during flight, and clearly know where it is. 2. During go-home the nose direction of the aircraft is facing toward the home- point, and the aircraft is flying directly from the current position to the home-point. The flowchart of failsafe and how to regain control (the following content is for the firmware v3.12)

(3)Turn off the transmitter (we assume you want to trigger failsafe) (1) The aircraft flies far away, transmitter is on but the signal is weak. Attitude Mode: In Attitude Mode as soon as you get signal you can regain control.

GPS Mode: switch the transmitter mode switch S1 to the middle position (ATTI. Mode), if the receiver is connected, then you will regain control. Attitude Mode: (1) the aircraft will level its attitude immediately (2) 3 secs later, failsafe is triggered and aircraft will start to go home. (3) If signal is regained during (1) or (2), it will resume normal flight immediately. GPS Mode: (1) the aircraft will slow down and hover. (2) if the signal is restored within 3 seconds (transmitter and receiver connected), the system will immediately return to normal operation; does not enter failsafe. (3) if not reconnected within 3sec, the system will enter failsafe, then even if the signal is restored, the system will not exit failsafe.

We strongly recommend you DO NOT try Ȕ Turn off the transmitter ȕ , because there are three types of risk: (1) You must be pretty clear whether the Home-point is OK for landing or not. (You have to understand the definition of Home-point well and the working process of failsafe) (2) If there are tall buildings around, the aircraft may be obstructed on the way. (3) When GPS signal is bad or GPS is not working, failsafe will not work. In this case, the behavior of the aircraft is the same as in the above condition. If you want the aircraft to Return Home, please do not turn the transmitter back on within 3 seconds * , otherwise the aircraft will exit failsafe mode immediately. When you turn off the transmitter, use the following method to regain control: (1) Switch the transmitter S1 switch to GPS. position. (2) and then put the throttle stick to lowest position, you can now turn the transmitter back on (greater than 5secs after switching off, important), then put throttle stick to the center position immediately. If you hear the transmitter alarm, make sure the throttle stick is at the bottom position before moving to the center position. (3) then you can switch the transmitter S1 switch to the middle position (ATTI. Mode) to regain control. If you choose to turn off the transmitter, you must be pretty sure that you know how to regain control. Here we offer a method, please read carefully. This section will demonstrate the working logic of failsafe and how to regain control. The following description is effective only when: 1. The aircraft is in flight. 2. The GPS works normally and s i g n a l i s G O O D ( ≥ 6 satellite, the LED blinks a single red light or no red light).

Note: if you start the motors, but do not push the throttle to take-off the aircraft, in this case it is very dangerous to turn off the transmitter, because the aircraft will take off automatically, so do not try this. The aircraft behavior after failsafe How to regain control Precautions What triggered failsafe

* If signal lost for more than 3 seconds failsafe will be triggered, if signal regained within 3 seconds it will exit failsafe immediately. (2) One position of switch S1 is set as Ȕ Failsafe ȕ in the Assistant software, and you toggle the S1 to

Ȕ Failsafe ȕ position during flight. The aircraft will slow down and hover. Then the system will enter failsafe mode after 3 seconds. Switch the transmitter mode switch S1 to the middle position (ATTI. Mode), then you will regain control.

By using IOC, wherever thenose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nosedirection:zIn course lock flying, the forward direction is the same as arecorded nose direction. See the followingfigures (The red and blue arrows on the transmitter is corresponding to pitch and roll operations):zIn home lock flying, the forward direction is the same as thedirection from home point to aircraft. See thefollowing figures (The red and blue arrows on the transmitter is corresponding to pitch and roll operations):Method of Forward Direction & Home Point RecordingIf you use the IOC function, please keep the Forward Directionof Course Lock Flying and the home point ofHome Lock Flying in mind at any time. There are two ways to record the forward direction and the home point:Manually and Automatically. You may choose any one record method.Course Lock FlightHome Lock FlightAutomatically30 seconds after you power on thequad-rotor.Before takeoff, the current position of thequad-rotor will be saved as home point when youpush the throttle stick for the first time after 6 ormore GPS satellites have been found.ManuallySwitch the S2 betweenOFFandCLposition quickly 3 to 5 times torecord current nose direction asnew forward direction after youpower on the quad-rotor for 30s.(OFF->CL->OFFis one time.)When 6 or more GPS satellites are found, you cantoggle the S2 switch betweenCLandHLpositionquickly 3 to 5 times to record the current positionof the quad-rotor as the new home point.

LED will blink betweenandslowly to indicatethe IOC mode only when MC is ready to fly in course lock or home lock modes.zHome lock flying requires that 6 or more GPS satellites are found and the aircraft is further than 10maway from the home point.zBefore you do the home lock flight, you have to fly the aircraft out of the 10m range around homepoint, and then flip the switch S2 toHLposition to fly in home lock when all the requirements aremet. If you have already toggled the switch S2 toHLposition when the aircraft is still in 10m rangearound home point, and this is the first time you are going tofly in home lock during the currentflight, then if all the requirements are met, MC will change into home lock automatically when theaircraft flies out of the 10m range around home point.zWhen flying in Home Lock mode, if any of the following situations happen, then the system will quitHome Lock flying and automatically enter Course Lock flying. The aircraft will fly in Course Lockusing the earlier forward direction.1. The aircraft fly’s within 10m range of the home point.2. You toggle the control mode switch to the ATTI. Mode.3. The GPS signal becomes bad (The GPS signal LED is blinking Red twice or three times).zWhen the aircraft is flying in home lock mode far away from you and the home point, please do nottoggle the IOC switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without youintentionally knowing.zWe suggest that you should know clearly which flight lock method you are going to fly, and you knowthe locked forward direction or home point, before you switch on IOC mode during the flight.zContinuously spinning the aircraft in flight will cause a yawerror. In this case, you can stop or slowdown the spinning, so as to have better flight performance.39©2013DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.11 |A8Maintenance1.Remove the Housing1.

e (1) Both Immediately Mode and Intelligent Mode are available in the Assistant Software: Advanced->Motor->Stop Type. (2) Stop Motor method is defaulted to Immediately Mode. Please get to know well about this section before flying. 1 S t a r t M o t o r : Pushing throttle stick before takeoff will not start the motors. You have to execute any one of following four Combination Stick Commands (CSC) to start the motors:



# 692 S t o p M o t o r : We provide two options to stop motors in the assistant software: Immediately and Intelligent. (1) I m m e d i a t e l y M o d e : If you select this mode, in any control mode, once motors start and throttle stick is over 10%, motors will not stop immediately only when throttle stick is back under 10% the motors will stop. In this case, if you push the throttle stick over 10% within 5 seconds after motors stop, motors will re-start, CSC is not needed. If you don’t push throttle stick after motors start in three seconds, motors will stop automatically. (2) I n t e l l i g e n t M o d e : By using this mode, different control mode has different way of stopping motors. In Manual Mode, only executing CSC can stop motors. In ATTI. Mode or GPS ATTI. Mode, any one of following four cases will stop motors:

a ) You don’t push throttle stick after motors start within three seconds; b ) Executing CSC;

c ) Throttle stick under 10%, and after landing for more than 3 seconds. d ) If the angle of multi-rotor is over 70°, and throttle stick under 10%.


## N o t e s o f I n t e l l i g e n t M o d e (1) In ATTI. / GPS ATTI. Mode, it has landing judgment, which will stop motors. (2) Start motors in ATTI. / GPS ATTI. Mode, you have to execute CSC and then push throttle stick over 10% in 3 seconds, otherwise motors will stop after 3 seconds. (3) During normal flight, only pull throttle stick under 10% will not stop motors in any control mode. (4) For safety reason, when the slope angle of multi-rotor is over 70° during the flight in ATTI. / GPS ATTI. Mode (may be caused by collision, motor and ESC error or propeller broken down), and throttle stick is under 10%, motors will stop automatically. 

## N o t e s o f I n t e l l i g e n t M o d e & I m m e d i a t e l y M o d e (1) If you choose the Immediately Mode, you should not pull throttle stick under 10% during flight, because it will stop motors. If you do it accidenta lly, you should push the throttle stick over 10% in 5s to re-start motors. (2) DO NOT execute the CSC during normal flight without any reason, or it will stop motors at once. (1) If you choose the Intelligent mode, and the throttle stick is under 10%, this will trigger the landing Procedure, in any control mode. In this judgment, pitch, roll and yaw controls are denied except the throttle, but multi-rotor will still auto level. (2) In any control mode, DO NOT pull throttle stick under 10% during normal flight without any

reason. (1) Any of these two cut off types will only work properly if TX calibration is correct done. (2) In failed-safe, CSC is denied by the main controller, motors will hold their state.

. When the GPS is abnormal, the Main controller will tell you by the LED blinking Red and Yellow alternately ( ), disa ble the GPS Module, and automatically enter the aircraft into the ATTI. Mode. 2
. You don’t need to rotate your multi- rotor on a precise horizontal or vertical surface, but keep at least 45° difference between horizontal and vertical calibration. 3
. If you keep h aving calibration failure, it might suggest that there is very strong magnetic interference around the GPS /Compass module, please avoid flying in this area. 4
. When to do re-calibration (1) The flight field is changed. (2) When the multi-rotor mechanical setup has changed: a) If the GPS/Compass module is re-positioned. b) If electronic devices are added/removed/ re- positioned (Main Controller, servos, batteries, etc.). c) When the mechanical structure of the multi-rotor is changed. (3) If the flight direction appears to be shifting (meaning the multi-rotor doesn’t “fly straight”). (4) The LED indicator often indicates abnormality blinking when the multi- rotor spins. (It is normal for this to happen only occasionally)

(2) If you enable the Immediately Mode of Motor Stop; you should not pull throttle stick under 10% during flight, because it will stop motors. If you do it accidentally, you should push the throttle stick over 10% in 5s to re-start motors. (3) DO NOT execute the CSC during normal flight without any reason, or it will stop motors at once. (4) Pay attention to the GPS satellite status LED indicator. Bad GPS signal may lead the aircraft to drift when hovering. (5) DO NOT fly near to ferromagnetic substanc es, to avoid strong magnetic interference with the GPS. (6) Please avoid using GPS ATTI. Mode in the areas, where GPS signal is most likely bad. (7) If the LED flashes quickly Red then this indicates battery voltage is low, land ASAP. (8) If the transmitter indicates low- battery alarm, please land ASAP. In this condition the transmitter may cause the aircraft to go out of control or even crash. (9) In GPS ATTI. Mode, make sure that the home point is recorded when the GPS signal is well; otherwise the home point recording may be not so precise. (1) In ATTI Mode, throttle stick center position is for 0m/s along the vertical direction. You should keep the position of throttle stick higher than 10% from cut- throttle during the flight! In any control mode, DO NOT pull throttle stick under 10% during normal flight without any reason. (2) It is recommended to land the aircraft slowly, to prevent the aircraft from damage when landing. (3) If Low- Voltage Alarm is set, the aircraft will act according to the configuration of the Assistant Software once Low- Voltage Alarm is triggered. Make sure you remember what you have set before.

r t In order to prevent your multi-rotor from a crash or other harmful consequences caused by low battery voltage, there are two levels of low voltage protection available to use. You can choose to use or not to use them; however we strongly recommend using the protections if available! Low-Voltage Alert is to indicate that the battery cannot provide enough power for the aircraft, in order to warn you to land the aircraft ASAP. You can configure this function in the assistant software, and please read the text in the software carefully before your flight. Make sure to carry out the Current Voltage Calibration.

There are both first level and second level protections. Th e first level protection has LED warning. During second level protection the aircraft will land automatically with LED warning. Meanwhile the center point of throttle stick will move up slowly to 90% of endpoint, you should land ASAP to prevent your aircraft from crashing! It is not for fun, you should land your aircraft ASAP to prevent your aircraft from crashing or other harmful consequences!!!

(1) Configure the FailSafe function in the a s s i s t a n t s o f t w a r e - > “ A d v a n c e d ”

- > “ F / S ” and read the instruction thoroughly and carefully. (2) Configure the Low-Voltage Alert function in the a s s i s t a n t s o f t w a r e - > “ A d v a n c e d ”

- > “ V o l t a g e ” and read the instruction thoroughly and carefully.

### Multi -rotor will fly along this direction when you push the elevator stick ( ). 

## S t e p 

# 1 B e f o r e Y o u S t a r t Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using IOC, wherever the nose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction. The red and blue arrows on the transmitter are corresponding to pitch and roll operations in the following diagram. z In course lock flying, the forward direction is the same as a recorded nose direction. All the following requirements are met: the autopilot system is in ATTI. Mode or GPS ATTI. Mode.

Normal flying Course Lock Flying
z In home lock flying, the forward direction is the same as the direction from home point to multi-rotor. All the following requirements are met: 6 or more GPS satellites are found, in GPS ATTI. Mode, and the aircraft is further than 10m away from the home point.

Normal flying Home Lock Flying 

## S t e p 

# 2 I O C S w i t c h S e t t i n g Before using the IOC function, you have to choose a 3-position switch on your transmitter as the IOC switch, which is also used for recording the orientation, home position in corresponding modes. Refer to the assistant software; click the “Advanced” to find the “IOC”.

IOC Switch

IOC Function OFF Course Lock Home Lock The above table is for example. The function of the switch position may be reversed since the normal/reversed setting of the switch channel. Toggle the switch and observe the slider position of channel X2 on the assistant software screen, the corresponding area should turn blue.

Course Lock Home Lock

Automatically 30 seconds after you power on the autopilot system. Before takeoff, the current position of the aircraft will be saved as home point when you start the motors for the first time after 6 or more GPS

satellites have been found for 10 seconds.

Manually 30 seconds after you power on the autopilot system. Toggle the IOC switch from Off to Course Lock, and back to Off quickly 3 to 5 times. After 6 or more GPS satellites have been found. And the aircraft can be hovering. Toggle the IOC switch from Course Lock to Home Lock, and back to Course Lock quickly 3 to 5 times.

# 78I O C F L Y I N G N O T E S ͜ ͜ ͜ (1) When Multi- rotor is flying by home lock far away from you and the home point, please DO NOT toggle the IOC switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without your attention. (1) Home lock flying requires that 6 or more GPS satellites are found and the aircraft is further than 10m away from the home point. (2) If the IOC flying requirement is not satisfied, the autopilot system will quit IOC control mod e. Please be aware of the LED indicator, to know the current control mode of the autopilot system.

(1) Blinking indications of IOC are: a) Before motors start: b l i n k , all sticks (except throttle stick) return to center; b l i n k , stick(s) (except throttle stick) not at center. b) After motors start and throttle stick is over 10% in 3 seconds: b l i n k , all sticks return to center; b l i n k , stick(s) not at center. (2) Before you do the home lock flight, you have to fly the aircraft out of the 10m range around home point, and then flip the IOC switch to Home Lock position to fly in home lock when all the requirements are met. If you ha ve already toggled the IOC switch to Home Lock position when the aircraft is still in 10m range around home point, and this is the first time you are going to fly in home lock during the current flight, then if all the requirements are met, the main contro ller will change into home lock automatically when Multi- rotor flies out the 10m range around home point. (1) When flying in Home Lock mode, if any of the following situations happen, then the system will quit Home Lock flying and automatically enter Course Lo ck flying. The aircraft will fly in Course Lock using the earlier forward direction. a) The aircraft fly’s within 10m range of the home point. b) You toggle the control mode switch to the ATTI. Mode. c) The GPS signal becomes bad (The GPS signal LED is blinking Red twice or three times). (2) We suggest that you should know clearly which flight lock method you are going to fly, and you know the locked forward direction or home point, before you switch on IOC mode during the flight.

n You are asked to enable this function by connecting to the Assistant Software, please set it at the section of Basic->R/C-> Receiver Advanced Protection. If you choose enable it, the FailSafe will be triggered if the following situations occur during flight. According to the difference of the aircraft height, there are two situations. a) Lower than 100m, the A/E/R channel is not at the mid point. b) Higher than 100m, the A/E/R channel is not at the mid point or the throttle stick is above the mid point. In the GPS Mode or ATTI. Mode, if the requirement a) or b) is satisfied, and the output data of four channels A/E/R/T have not changed for 20 seconds, then the aircraft will hover automatically. After that, if the output data of four channels A/E/R/T still do not any changes and last for 10 seconds, the autopilot system will think that the data from receiver is abnormal, and then enter the FailSafe Mode. B r i e f i n t r o d u c t i o n o f h o w t o q u i t t h e F a i l S a f e M o d e If there is any command change from the receiver, the autopilot system thinks that the receiver is regained.

i t s The flight limits function is default enabled in the NAZA-M Flight control system, it’s aimed to restrict the flying height and distance of the aircraft. The Max Height restricts the vertical distance between the aircraft and the Home point, the Max Radius restricts the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home point. The default Max Height is 2000m and Max Radius is 2000m. Users can write the values of the Max Height and Max Radius in the Assistant software, the range of the Max Height is 10m-100000m, the range of the Max Radius is the same. So that the aircraft will fly in the entered range, which is a cylinder space above the Home point.

(1) Height Limit works when the control mode is GPS or ATTI. Mode. Radius Limit works when the control mode is GPS and the satellite number ≥ 6. (2) If the aircraft flies out of the limits, it's still controllable except flying further away. (3) If the control mode is changed to GPS when the aircraft is out of Max Radius, the aircraft will fl y back within the entered range. (4) The Failsafe and the Ground Station operations are not restricted to the Flight Limits.

t During the Checking Procedure, if abnormal LED Indicator occurs or even the system cannot work normally, please refer to the following list and aids troubleshooting.

(1) “System initializing and self-checking LED flashes” are not correct ( Red LED appears in the last four green flashes). The autopilot system works abnormally. Please contact your dealer. (2) LED blinks Yellow 4 times quickly ( )

. The system is warming up. You cannot start the motors until the 4 rapid yellow flashes disappear. If the warm up waiting is longer than 2 minutes, please power off for 5 minutes, cold start, and then connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" - > IMU calibration, carry out the Advanced calibration. (3) After the system start and self-checking has finished, if the LED blinks Red, Green and Yellow ( ) continually. Sensor error is too big. Please connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" - > IMU calibration, carry out calibration. (4) At the first motors start, the system will check the sensors Bias and you are asked to keep the aircraft stationary (no need of horizontal level). If you cannot start the motors and the LED blinks Green 6 times quickly ( ), it means that the sensor error is too big. Please connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" - > IMU calibration, carry out basic calibration. Note: after the first successful motors start, this checking will be disabled and it is no need any more to keep the aircraft stationary during starting motors. (5) The system blinks Red LED quickly during flying. Low- voltage protection is triggered. Please land the aircraft ASAP. (6) The system blinks Yellow LED quickly during flying. FailSafe Mode is triggered. Pay attention tha t there is no tall buildings and trees to block your aircraft during go-home. (7) The LED blinks Red and Yellow alternately ( ). Compass error is too big. a) There may be a ferromagnetic substance close to the Phantom. Lift the aircraft up about 1m from the ground, if there is no Red and Yellow flashing, then it will not affect the flight. b) Otherwise, re-calibrate the compass. c) If re-calibration does not work, please connect to the Assistant Software, select the “Tools” and follow the tips to carry out the required operation.

o b i g If the TX stick(s) mid point error is too big, Motors Start will fail when you execute the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) and lead to the aircraft will not takeoff.. And the LED will blink Red four times per second continually to warn you. TX stick(s) mid point error too big can be caused by the following reasons: (1) There is TX stick (except the throttle stick) not at center when power on the autopilot system. (2) The TX sticks has been trimmed, which leads to the large deviation of mid point. For example, the SUB-TRIM has been adjusted for Futaba transmitter. (3) The TX stick(s) travel has larger asymmetry. For the reason (1), please put all TX sticks at the mid point, and then power cycle the autopilot system to re-record the mid point. If the problem continues, that can be caused by the reason (2) or reason (3), yo u need to adjust the output range of your TX, and then use the Assistant Software to redo the TX cali bration. Please carry out the following procedures. (1) Connect to the Assistant software, click Basic-> R/C-> Command Sticks Calibration, and push all TX sticks throughout their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its largest position. (2) Adjust the largest travel of TX stick until the cursor on the Assistant software can reach both end positions, according to your TX manual. (3) Power cycle the autopilot system, note that power cycle is required. (4) Redo the TX calibration according to the Assistant software.

d For Hexa-rotor, including Hexa-rotor I, Hexa-rotor V, Hexa-rotor IY and Hexa-rotor Y, aircraft is attitude controllable when one motor output is failed. The NAZA-M can still control the attitude of the Hexa-rotor for a safe landing when one motor output of the Hexa-rotor has failed, for example, one motor is stopped or one propeller is broken, etc. The control mode of NAZA-M should be in Atti. Mode or GPS Atti. Mode. The aircraft will rotate, due to an imbalance of torque; however, it can still be controlled by the Transmitter. Select Course lock or home lock mode for flying the aircraft into a safe area to land when the aircraft is far away or the attitude can’t be recognized. Even when the multi rotor is rotating, using Course lock or home lock mode will allow you to move the multi rotor in the corresponding Transmitter stick direction.

t s The NAZA-M system communicates with other DJI products (e.g. H3-2D gimbal, BTU module, iOSD mini and iOSD Mark II) via the CAN-Bus port ( ) of the NAZA PMU V2. You can plug new DJI products into any spare CAN-Bus port, since CAN-Bus ports on NAZA-M, CAN HUB, GCU, iOSD mini, iOSD Mark II and 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink are the same for the communications. When there are not enough CAN-Bus ports for additional DJI products, then a DJI CAN HUB module is recommended. The following diagram is for your connection reference.

d

e for 6 to 10 times. The LED indicator will turn on solid BLUE. 2. Rotate your Multi-rotor around the horizontal axis (about 360 o ) until the LED changes to solid GREEN , and then go to the next step. 3. Hold your Multi-rotor vertically and rotate it (its nose MUST be downward) around the vertical axis (about 360 o ) until the LED turns off, meaning the calibration is finished.

4. The LED indicator will show whether the calibration is successful or not. z If the LED keeps WHITE for 3 seconds, meaning the calibration is successful, and then calibration mode will exit automatically. z If the LED keeps flashing quickly RED , the calibration has failed. Switch the control mode switch one time to cancel the calibration, and then re-start from step 1.

1
. You don’t need to rotate your multi- rotor on a precise horizontal or vertical surface, but keep at

least 45° difference between horizontal and vertical calibration. 2
. If you keep having calibration failure, it might suggest that there is very strong magnetic

interference around the GPS & Compass module, please avoid flying in this area. 3
. When to do re-calibration.

z The flight field is changed. z The multi-rotor mechanical setup has changed, including the following situations:

a) If the GPS & Compass module is re-positioned. b) Electronic devices added, removed or re-positioned (Main Controller, servos, batteries, etc). c) When the mechanical structure of the multi-rotor is changed. z If the flight direction appears shifting (meaning the multi-rotor doesn’t “fly straight”). z The LED indicator often indicates abnormality blinking when the multi-rotor spins. But i t is normal for this to happen only occasionally. z LED blinks yellow and green ( ) continually, indicating that the compass data is abnormal.

Take off the aircraft after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (RED LED blinks once or no blinking). If in Manual Mode or ATTI. Mode, you can skip this step. 2. Place the aircraft three meters away from you and others (especially child), to avoid accidental injury. 

### 3. Start-up

9 Switch on the transmitter, and then power on autopilot system! You MUST NOT move your multi- rotor or sticks on transmitter until the system initialization is finished (about 5 second). 9 Push both sticks of transmitter to the left bottom or right bottom to start the motors. 9 Release the yaw, roll and pitch sticks and keep them at the neutral position, avoiding the aircraft to tilt to one side. At the same time raise the throttle stick from the bottom quickly. The motors will stop if you do not push the throttle stick from the bottom within 3s and you will need to execute the start- up procedure again. When the aircraft is on the point of leaving the ground, continue to push the throttle stick upwards to take off from the ground, pay attention not to push the stick excessively. 

### 9 Pay attention to the aircraft movement at any time when flying, and use the sticks to adjust the aircraft’s position. Keep the yaw, roll, pitch and throttle sticks at the neutral position to hover the aircraft at the desired height. 

### 4. Lower the aircraft slowly. Pull the throttle stick to the bottom and then push the sticks to the left bottom or right bottom to stop the motors after landing. (Also, with throttle stick under 10%, and after landing 3s the motors will stop automatically) 

### 5. Power off the autopilot system, and then switch off the transmitter after landing.

z DO NOT fly near to any ferromagnetic substances, to avoid strong magnetic interference with the GPS. Otherwise, it may cause the aircraft to FailSafe, crack or even fly away. z If abnormal compass data occurs during flying, LED will blink Yellow and Green alternatively ( ). If in ATTI and Manual Mode, it is free from influence. In any other control mode, the autopilot system will enter into ATTI. Mode automatically; once the compass data goes back t o normal, the autopilot system will regain the original control mode. z If the LED flashes quickly YELLOW then this indicates battery voltage is low, land ASAP. z It is recommended to land the aircraft slowly, to prevent the aircraft from damage. z If the transmitter indicates low- battery alarm, please land ASAP. In this condition the transmitter may cause the aircraft to go out of control or even crash. z The LED will blink White to indicate h uge cumulative yaw errors caused by spinning the craft continuously. In this case, you can stop or slow down the spinning, and continue flying after the White blinking has stopped, so as to have better flight performance. z If Low- Voltage Alarm is set, the aircraft will act according to the configuration of the Assistant Software once Low-Voltage Alarm is triggered. z If Fail- Safe function is set, the aircraft will act according to the configuration of the Assistant Software once Fail-Safe is triggered.

If necessary, please select the Intelligent Mode in the Assistant Software. By using the Intelligent Mode, different control mode has different way of stopping motors. z In Manual Mode, only executing CSC can stop motors. z In ATTI. Mode or GPS Mode, any one of following four cases will stop motors:

a ) You don’t push throttle stick after motors start within three seconds; b ) Executing CSC;

c ) Throttle stick under 10%, and after landing 3 seconds. d ) The slope angle of multi-rotor is over 70°, and throttle stick under 10%. 

## F o r I n t e l l i g e n t M o d e z In ATTI. / GPS Mode, it has landing judgment, which will stop motors. z Start motors in ATTI. / GPS Mode, you have to execute CSC and then push throttle stick over 10% in 3 seconds, otherwise motors will stop after 3 seconds. z During normal flight, only pull throttle stick under 10% will not stop motors in any control mode. z For safety reason, when the slope angle of multi- rotor is over 70° during the flight in ATTI. / GPS Mode (may be caused by collision, motor and ESC error or propeller broken down), and throttle stick is under 10%, motors will stop automatically.


## F o r B o t h I n t e l l i g e n t M o d e & I m m e d i a t e l y M o d e z If you choose the Immediately Mode, you SHOULD NOT pull throttle stick under 10% during flight, because it will stop motors. If you do it accidentally, you should push the throt tle stick over 10% in 5s to re-start motors
z When transmitter commands are valid under any control modes, the motors will start or stop immediately when you execute CSC. It has nothing to do with the current throttle stick position. Please DO NOT executes CSC during flight without a good reason.
z If you choose Intelligent , throttle stick under 10% will trigger landing judgment in any control mode. In this judgment, pitch, roll and yaw controls are denied except throttle, but multi- rotor will still auto level. z In any control mode, DO NOT pull throttle stick under 10% during normal flight without any

reason. z The two cut off types will only work correctly if the transmitter calibration is correct.
z In failed-safe, CSC is denied by the main controller, motors will hold their state.

### I O C F L Y I N G N O T E S ͜ ͜ ͜ When Multi- rotor is flying by home lock far away from you and the home point, please DO NOT toggle the IOC switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without your attention.
z Home lock flying requires that 6 or more GPS satellites are found and the aircraft is further than 10m away from the home point.
z In POI flying, avoid using POI in areas where the GPS signal might be lost or the transmitter /receiver signal might be lost (such as built up urban areas), to make sure 6 or more GPS satellites are found. And the multi- rotor is required to fly further than 5m (and less than 500m) away from the Point of Interest.
z Continuously spinning will cause a yaw error. In this case, you can stop or slow down the spinning, so as to have better flight performance. z If the IOC flying requirement is not satisfied , the autopilot system will quit IOC control mode. Please be aware of the LED indicator, to know the current control mode of the autopilot system.
z Before you do the home lock flight, you have to fly the aircraft out of the 10m range around home point, a nd then flip the IOC switch to Home Lock position to fly in home lock when all the requirements are met. If you have already toggled the IOC switch to Home Lock position when the aircraft is still in 10m range around home point, and this is the first time you are going to fly in home lock during the current flight, then if all the requirements are met, the main controller will change into home lock automatically when Multi- rotor flies out the 10m range around home point.. z When you are flying in home lock mo de, if the aircraft is back into the 10m range around home point, or you switch into ATTI. Mode, or the GPS signal becomes weak, the autopilot system will fly in course lock by the current forward direction automatically. But this forward direction is NOT the recorded forward direction. If you open the course lock now, it will fly in course lock still by the earlier recorded forward direction. z We suggest that you should know clearly that, by which lock method you are going to fly, and the locked forward direction or home point, before you switch on IOC mode during the flight.

z Refer to the LED Description in the Appendix for more details.

# 4 F a i l S a f e FailSafe methods include Hover, Go-home, and Altitude Go-home. Choose one as your failsafe method, which will be triggered when the MC loses the control signal in one of the following situations: 1) Signal lost between transmitter and receiver, e.g. multi-rotor is out of the communication range, or transmitter has failed, etc. 2) One or more connections of A, E, T, R, U channels between the MC and receiver is lost. If this happens before take-off, the motors will not start if you raise th e throttle stick. If this happens during the flight, the LED will flash blue to warn you, in addition to the fail-safe method. If Hovering fail-safe method is configured and U channel is disconnected, multi-rotor will auto land.
Also, you can select the Go-Home Switch item to start go-home (Go-home, and Altitude Go-home) by using a TX switch during the flight, when selected during flight the LED will flash purple instead of blue. The multi-rotor position before takeoff, including reference longitude, reference latitude and r e f e r e n c e a l t i t u d e , is saved as home point by the MC automatically when you raise the throttle stick for the first time AND it has 6 or more GPS satellites acquired for more than 8 seconds ( blinks once or no blinking >8secs) After taking off, every time the aircraft recorded a home-point successfully the LED will blink Cyan quickly for indicating.

T H E R E F O R E : to use any form of Go-home (including failsafe return home), you must make sure 6 or more GPS satellites are acquired for more than 8 seconds ( blinks once or no blinking >8secs) before take-off, this will assure correct recording of the Home position.

Go-Home Switch ͹ Before using this function, you have to choose a 2-position switch on your transmitter as the Go-Home switch. Then connect the correct channel of the receiver to the X3 port of the MC.

You should assign: Position-1 to Start; Position-2 to Standby; or reverse the assignment for Position-1 and Position-2. Move the Tx switch of the channel X3 and check that the corresponding area Start and Standby turns blue on the assistant software screen. If required adjust the Tx channel end points.

# 110z Switching from Standby to Start will enable go-home during flight and you will no longer have flight control of the Multi rotor. If the multi-rotor is already in a failsafe condition, then the go-home switch will not work. z If you switch to Manual Mode or Atti. Mode, (and the multi rotor is not in a fail- safe condition), then the go-home is cancelled and you regain control of the multi copter. Once GPS. Mode is re-selected you can once again use the go-home function.

z Use end-point fine tuning on your transmitter to adjust the X3 channel, to give the correct switch indication in the assistant software. z The following example shows how to enable Go-home by the Tx Switch. Use position- 1 to Start and Position-2 to Standby for example. Position -1 Æ Position -2 Æ Position -1, if the initial switch position is at Start (Position -1). Position -2 Æ Position -1, if the initial switch position is at Standby (Position -2).
z The home point of the ground station one key go- home is the same as the point set by user in the ground station software. z If the home point is not set by the ground station, the home point of the ground station one key go-home function is the point recorded by the MC.
z If the Go-Home Switch cannot be selected in the assistant software, that may be due to the X3 channel been set for remote gain tuning, you should change this if required.

# 2 Flight Ctrl. 2.1

The FlightCtrl is already fitted with all needed components.

The FCV2.1 can be connected to the powerboard via the molex cable.
When using the Molexkabel between FlightCtrl and powerboard, you don't have to solder the I2C bus, the buzzer and the power cable to the FlightCtrl

. Only the power cable for the receiver still has to be soldered to the FlightCtrl

. The buzzer is connected directly to the appropriate solder points of the powerboard (Buzzer / -). The I2C-bus and the voltage supply are provided from the power distribution via the Molex. Alternatively, the FC V2.1 can be connected with individual cable to the power distributor. But then you don't have to use the Molexcable.

Furthermore, all electrolytic capacitors in the input area should be exchanged with 25V-rated types. All reconstructions of the FlightCtrl board are taken at your own risk. The voltage regulator must be replaced with one of a correspondingly high input voltage range (e.g. Traco TSR1-2450 ) as the Recoms only permits up to 18V input voltage. Costs about €9. • All SMD capacitors in the input area should be rated to 25V. However, the Kerko - subject to

availability upon placer - also only 16V. (yes, the FC is also sold as a max. 4s in the shop) If in doubt, replace. •

# GETTING STARTED Thank you for purchasing the Graupner HoTT 2.4 System Please re ad through this entire manual before you attempt the installation and usage of your Graupner HoTT 2. 4 System! These operating instructions are part of this product. They con tains important notes to the operation and handling. Please take this into consideration when you pass on the product to third parties. Neglect of the operating instructions and the safety instructions lead to expiring the warranty. Graupner constantly work on the advancement of all remote contr ol systems; changes of the scope of delivery in form, technology and equipment we must reserve ourselve s therefore. Please have understanding for the fact that from data and illustrations of this operating instructions no requirements can be derived. Please keep these instructions for further reference! 1. GENERAL NOTE When switching on or adjusting the radio control system it is e ssential to keep the transmitter aerial at least 15 cm away from the receiver aerials at all times. If the transmitter aerial is too close to the receiver aerials, the receiver will be overloaded, causing the red LED o n the receiver to light up. The transmitter responds by emitting a beep once every second; the red LED also goes out. The radio control system is now in Fail-Safe mode. If this should occur, simply increase the distance between the aerials until the audible warning signal ceases, and the red LED on the transmitter lights up again; at the same time the red LED on the receiver should go out. 2. FUNCTIONS 2.1. Binding When you wish to use the Graupner HoTT 2.4 GHz receiver with a particular transmitter, the fi rst step must always be to “bind” the unit to “its” Graupner HoTT 2.4 GH z RF module (transmitter). This “binding” procedure only needs to be carried out once for each combinatio n of receiver and RF module. The units supplied in the set are already bound to each other at the fact ory, i.e. the binding procedure described in the following section only needs to be carried out when you wis h to use an additional receiver. However, it can also be repeated at any time if required, e.g. after cha nging transmitters. When binding is required, this is the procedure: • Switch the transmitter and receiver on. • Locate the BIND / RANGE button on the back of the transmitter , and hold it pressed in while you press and hold the SET button on the receiver. Both LEDs on th e back of the transmitter now glow constantly, and the red LED on the receiver fl ashes. • Under normal circumstances the fl ashing red LED on the receiv er will cease to fl ash and switch to a constant green within about ten seconds. This indicates that the binding process is complete. You can now release both buttons, and your transmitter / receiver combination is ready for use. • However, if the red LED on the receiver continues to fl ash fo r longer than ten seconds, then the binding process has failed. If this should occur, repeat the w hole procedure. 2.1.1.Binding“ multiple receivers in one model If required, it is also possible to bind multiple receivers to the transmitter for a particular model. The fi rst step is to bind each receiver individually using the procedure already described. When the system is in use, the receiver which was bound last is the Master receiver. Any telemetry sensors installed in the model must be connected to this unit, as only the Master receiver transmits sensor data using the downlink channel. The second and all further rec eivers operate in parallel with the Master receiver but in Slave mode, with the downlink channel switched off. The control functions can also be distributed amongst multiple receivers; this is carried out using the Channel Mapping function of the SMART -BOX (Order No. 33700). In the same way it is possible to assign one control function to multiple receiver outputs; a typic al example would be the use of two servos for each aileron instead of only one, etc.

### 2.2. Range checking The method of checking the effective range of the Graupner HoTT 2.4 GHz system is described below. We recommend that you ask a friend to help you with this proced ure. After binding the receiver to your transmitter, switch the tran smitter and the receiver on, and wait until the green LED on the receiver lights up. • Install the bound receiver in the model in its fi nal intended position. • Switch the RC system on, so that you can observe the movement of the servos. • Set up the model on a fl at surface (pavement, closely mown gr ass or earth), and ensure that the receiver aerials are located at least fi fteen cm above the gro und. This may require a support for the model. • Hold the transmitter at hip-height, away from your body, but do not point the aerial directly at the model; instead turn and / or angle the aerial tip so that it s tands vertical, and keep it there for the duration of the range check. • Locate the BIND / RANGE button on the back of the transmitter , and press it to initiate range-check mode. Hold the button pressed in until the transmitter starts to beep at a regular rhythm; the red and green LEDs adjacent to the BIND / RANGE button now fl ash alter nately. • Walk away from the model, operating the transmitter sticks co nstantly. If you detect an interruption in the link within a range of about fi fty metres, stand still and attempt to reproduce it. • If the model is fi tted with a motor, switch it on in order to check whether the power system is gene- rating interference. • Continue to walk away from the model until you reach the poin t where perfect control is no longer possible. • Now press the BIND / RANGE button on the transmitter once mor e; this terminates range-check mode manually, and the model should respond normally to contro l commands. If this does not occur with 100% reliability, the system should not be used. Contact your local Service Department of Graupner GmbH & Co. KG. • Range-check mode is usually terminated manually when the user presses the BIND / RANGE but ton, but it terminates automatically after about ninety second s in any case. The red LED now glows constantly again, while the green LED either glows constantly or fl ashes continuously, according to the Country setting. • We recommend that you check effective radio range before ever y fl ight. While you are carrying out the check, simulate all the servo movements which will tak e place when the model is in fl ight. The ground range must always be at least fi fty metres in order to ensure safe, reliable model con- trol. Note: Range-check mode is usually terminated manually when the user p resses the BIND / RANGE button, but it terminates automatically after about ninety seconds in a ny case. CAUTION: During normal operations (i. e. when controlling a model) never press and hold the programming button on the transmitter module! 2.3. Fail-Safe function In its default state (as delivered) the receiver is set to “Hol d” mode, i.e. if a fail-safe situation occurs, all the servos connected to it maintain the last position detected as valid. In this mode the red LED on the receiver lights up when interference occurs, and the red LED on the transmitter goes out. The transmitter also starts beeping about once per second as an audible war ning. You can exploit the safety potential of the fail-safe option by at least programming the throttle channel to respond to a fail-safe situation: the throttle channel of an en gine-powered model should be set to idle, the throttle channel of an electric-powered model to “stop”, an d the throttle channel of a model helicopter to “Hold”. If interference should occur, these settings will he lp prevent the model fl ying out of control, possibly causing personal injury or property damage. IMPORTANT: The two functions “Binding” and “Range check” described above c an be used regardless of the method you last employed to program the transmitter, i.e. using the pr ogramming button or the SMART-BOX; neither of these two options causes signifi cant changes to the settings saved in the receiver. However,

### if you call up the Fail-Safe function using the programming but ton as described below, this resets ALL the settings of the SMART-BOX at the Fail-Safe screen (RX FAIL SAFE) - and this includes the settings available through the facilities of the programming button. At the same time the Country setting will revert to Universal if you have previously selected “France” us ing the programming button - see below under “2.4”. You MUST therefore select the Country setting agai n if necessary. For this reason, wherever possible it is always best to maintain your programmed sett ings using the SMART-BOX. Switch your receiving system on. Locate the BIND / RANGE button on the back of the transmitter, and hold it pressed in while you switch the transmitter on. Release the button again once it is switched on. You can now call up the desired Fail-Safe mode (Fail-Safe on / off, Hold, or Standard) by cycling through the modes with a brief press of the BIND / RANGE button: • Fail-Safe mode: when you press the BIND / RANGE button, the transmitter beeps o nce; the red and green LEDs glow constantly. It is now possible to program positions to which the servos wi ll move in a Fail-Safe situation; this occurs after a “Hold” period of 0.75 seconds: move the corresp onding transmitter controls (sticks, rotary knobs, INC / DEC buttons etc.) to the desired Fail-Safe positions SIMULTANEOUSLY, then hold the BIND / RANGE button pressed in for three to four seco nds. When you release the button, both the red and green LEDs should light up constantly, and th e transmitter should not emit an au- dible signal: the transmitter now reverts to Control mode. If this does not occur, repeat the procedu- re. • Hold mode (recommended for model helicopters): when you press the BIND / RANGE button, the transmitter beeps twice; the red LED lights up constantly, and the green LED goes out (factory default setting). If interference occurs, all servos programmed to “Hold” remain at the last position detected by the receiver as correct; this situation is maintained until such t ime as the receiver picks up a new, valid control signal. You can save your selection by holding the BIND / RANGE button pressed in for three to four se- conds. When you release the button, both the red and green LED s should light up constantly, and the transmitter should not emit an audible signal: the transmi tter now reverts to Control mode. If this does not occur, repeat the procedure. • Fail-Safe OFF: when you press the BIND / RANGE button, the transmitter beeps t hree times; the green LED glows constantly, the red LED goes out. You can save your selection by holding the BIND / RANGE button pressed in for three to four se- conds. When you release the button, both the red and green LED s should light up constantly, and the transmitter should not emit an audible signal: the transmi tter now reverts to Control mode. If this does not occur, repeat the procedure. • Standard mode (suitable for fi xed-wing model aircraft only): when you press the BIND / RAN- GE button, the transmitter beeps four times; both LEDs are off

. In this mode the throttle servo (channel 1) moves to the Fail- Safe position, i.e. the position you have programmed for a Fail-Safe situation, while all the other chan nels remain at “Hold”. Move the throttle stick to the desired position, then hold the BIND / RANGE button pressed in for three to four seconds. When you release the button, both the r ed and green LEDs should light up constantly, and the transmitter should not emit an audible sig nal: the transmitter now reverts to Control mode. If this does not occur, repeat the procedure. 2.4. Range warning If the receiver signal in the down-link channel becomes too wea k, the transmitter always generates an audible range warning in the form of a beep emitted about once per second. Since the transmitter’s output is much higher than that of the receiver, you will still maintain full control of the model, but in the interests of safety you should fl y the model back towards you u ntil the warning signal ceases again. If the audible range warning signal does not cease when you red uce the distance, then the transmitter or receiver low voltage or temperature warning is active! In th is case you must land the model and cease operations without delay. 2.5. Firmware update or SMART-BOX connection The SMART-BOX is connected to the DATA socket on the back of th e transmitter.

3.1 Connections Plug the servos into the row of sockets on the right-hand end o f the receiver. The connector system is polarised; note the small chamfer on one edge. Never use force - the plugs should engage easily and fully. The socket polarity is also marked on the case: brown wi re (-), red (+) and orange (signal). The servo sockets of the Graupner-HoTT 2.4 receiver are numbere d. The socket marked “- +/B” is intended for the battery. If necessary, a servo can be connecte d to this socket in parallel with the power supply; a Y-lead (Order No. 3936.11) is required for this. It is also possible to program the channel 8 for the sum signal using a Graupner HoTT transmitter or the SMART-BOX (Order No. 33700). This is important for certain opti onal devices which require this signal. Power supply for receiver 33508, 33512 When using High Power servos, connect the receiver power supply /s preferably to the vertical ports of the receiver. If necessary, the servos can be connected to this sockets in parallel with the power supply; a Y-lead (Order No. 3936.11) is required for this. The lower sockets (33508 and 33512) should not be used, because an increased voltage drop occurs. When using a dual power supply, use the sockets on the outside: Receiver 33506/33508 (GR-12/GR-16): Channel 1 and 6 (or 2 and 5 ) Receiver 33512 (GR-24): Channel 11 and 12

The socket marked “T” - telemetry interface - on the left-hand end of the receiver is intended for the optional telemetry sensors. This socket is also used for loadin g fi rmware updates in conjunction with the USB interface. This socket is also polarised; note the small ch amfer on one edge. Never use force - the plugs should engage easily and fully. The socket polarity is al so marked on the case: brown wire (-), red (+) and orange (T). Servo sockets
