# Re: Exemption Request Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations

Dear Sir or Madam: ;



## Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (the Reform Act), Sky Capture Studios,, a photography services company and operatorofsmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), hereby applies for an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed belowto allow commercial operation ofour UAS in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) so long as such operations are conducted with and underthe conditions outlined herein oras may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333. The requested exemption would permit Sky Capture Studios to pursue its commercial interests in providing services to clients using a UAS in the following areas:

• Real estate photography and videography • Construction site inspection and monitoring • Precision aerial surveying • Pipeline inspection and patrolling • Utility system inspections and patrolling • Communications infrastructure inspection and monitoring • Wildlife and forestry monitoring • Private event photography and videography As described below, the requested exemption would permitthe operation ofsmall and relatively inexpensive UAS undercontrolled conditions in airspace that is 1) limited, 2) predetermined, 3) controlled as to access, and 4) would provide safety enhancements to the already best practices safety protocolsfollowed by Sky Capture Studios at each ofits client project locations. Approval ofthis exemption would enhance safety and fulfill the FAA Administrator's responsibilities under Section 333(c) ofthe Reform Act.

# I. STATUTORYAUTHORITY FOR EXEMPTIONS The Federal Aviation Act grants the FAA authorityto issue exemptions.This statutoryauthority includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under§40101 ofthe Act, including UAS, from the requirement thatall civil aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate. The Administrator may grantan exemption from a requirement ofa regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or(b) ofthis section orany sections44702-44716 ofthis title iftheAdministratorfinds the exemption in the public interest. 49 U.S.C. §44701(f) See also 49 USC §44711(a); 49 USC §44704; 14 CFR §91.203(a) (1). Reform Act §333(a). Ifthe Secretary determinesthata UAS may operate safely in the National Airspace System (NAS), the Secretary shall establish requirementsforthe safe operation ofsuch aircraft in the national airspace system. Reform Act §333(b). Assists the Secretary in determiningwhether UAS may operate in the National Airspace System without creating a hazard to the user, the public, orathreatto national security. In making this determination,the Secretary must consider:


# 2

## • The UAS size, weight, speed, and operational capability,**~** 

## Whetherthe UAS operateswithin thevisual line ofsight ofthe operator, • Whetherthe UAS operates outside ofhighly populated areas and awayfrom close proximityto airports. Sky Capture Studios UAS are multi-rotor, thatweigh 55 orfewer pounds including payload.They operate, under normal conditions at a speed of no morethan 

## SO knots and have the capabilityto hover, and move in thevertical and horizontal plane simultaneously.Theywill operate only in line ofsight and will operateonlywithin a restricted area. Such operationswill insure thatthe UAS will"not create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public." We are petitioning for exemption to enable Sky Capture Studios to operate a OJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus multi-rotorequipped with a three-axis gimbaled camera and a DJI Phantom 3 Professional/Advanced multi-rotorequipped with a three-axis gimbaled camera. These UAS all weigh less than 25 pounds, have a built- in capabilityto limitthe height itflies abovethe ground, to limitthe radius ofthe distance itflies from the operatorand to exclude itfrom Class B, Cand D airspace including a nofly zone feature. Each system also has thefailsafe function ofthe autopilot system, which meanswhen the communication between the main controller and the transmitter is lost, the system will automaticallytrigger Return to Home and will land safely. Operators Manualsforthese UAS are provided in AttachmentA. Given the small size ofthe UAS involved and the restricted environmentwithin which theywill operate, ourapplication falls within the zone ofsafety (an equivalent level ofsafety) in which Congress envisioned thatthe FAA must, by exemption, allow commercial operations of UAS to commence immediately. Also dueto the small size ofthe UAS and the low altitudes and restricted areas in which the UAS will operate, approval ofthe application presents no national security issue. Given the clear direction in Section 333 ofthe Reform Act, the authoritycontained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended; the strong equivalent level ofsafety surroundingthe proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, including enhanced safety, the grantofthe requested exemptions is in the public interest. Accordingly, Sky Capture Studios, respectfully requests that the FAA grantthe requested exemption without delay. 

## II. PUBLIC INTEREST

. This exemption application is expressly submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 333(a) through (c) ofthe Reform Act. This law directsthe Secretary ofTransportation to considerwhether certain unmanned aircraft systems mayoperate safely in the national airspace system {NAS) before completion ofthe rulemaking required underSection 332 ofthe Reform Act. By granting an exemption the FAA will fulfill Congress's intentofallowing UAS to operate with significant safety precautions in low risk environments. The use of UAS on a work site can significantly reduce the risk to workers offalls while inspecting, surveying, or monitoring site progress. UAS can inspect, photograph, and collect data on hard to getto areas that otherwise would require worker inspection. Falls are a leading source ofworkplacefatality and injury on construction sites, and reducingfalls through UAS use forsite imaging could save workers lives.



# 3

## Additionally, UAS could replace the use ofhelicopters and small aircraftto monitor sites. The UAS we propose tofly in this application are less than 25 pounds, and carry no combustible material on board, as opposed tothe much larger conventionally powered small aircraft. Shiftingto UAS from helicopters presents a marked safety increase forourworkers and the public. Lastly, UAS reduce the environmental impact by dramatically decreasing theenergy used foraerial imaging and·data collection over awork site. Our UAS use rechargeable lithium ion batteries, as opposed to fossil fuels burned in operation ofsmall aircraftthat are many hundreds oftimes heavier. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests that the FAA grantthe requested exemption without delay. Ill. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY Sky Capture Studios proposesthat the exemption requested herein applyto UAS that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein.These limitations provide for at least an equivalent oreven higher level ofsafety to operations underthe current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent asafety enhancement to the already safe operations conducted with conventional aircraft.These limitationsand conditions to whichSky Capture Studios agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations underan FAA issued exemption include: 

## 1. The UAS will be less than 55 pounds. 2. Flights will be operated within visual line ofsight ofthe pilot. 3. Maximum total flight time foreach operationalflight will be 30 minutes.The UAS calculates battery reserve in real time, and will return to its ground stationwith at least 20% battery power reserve should thatoccur priorto the 30 minute limit. 4. Flights will normally be operated at an altitude ofless than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), never exceeding 400 feetAGL. 5. Crew for eachoperation will consist ofthe UAS Pilot who will keep the UAS within his visual line ofsight at all times. 6. The UAS Pilot will be trained in flight, operations, and safety procedures as detailed in the Sky Capture Studios Flight Manual (Flight Manual) (Attachment B). 7. The UAS will only operate within a confined "Safe Area" as defined in the Flight Manual. The Flight Manual also requires the establishment ofa "Safety Perimeter" forthe flight operations area. 8. A briefingwill be conducted in regard to the planned UAS operations priorto each day's production activities. Itwill be mandatorythat all personnel who will be performing duties within the boundaries ofthe safety perimeterbe present forthis briefing. 9. All onsite personnel will consentto the UAS flyover on site by waiver, and the operatorwill obtain additional verbal orwritten consent ofall persons whowill be allowed within 100feet of theflight operation. 10. Pilot will have been trained in operation ofUAS generally aAd received up-to-date information on the particular UAS to be operated as required by the Flight Manual. 11. Written and/ororal permission fromthe relevant property holders will be obtained. 12. All required permissions and permitswill be obtained from territorial, state, county orcity jurisdictions, including local lawenforcement, fire, orotherappropriate governmental agencies. 13. Ifthe UAS loses communications or loses itsGPS signal, it.will have capabilityto enter "loiter mode" and hover, reestablish satellite connection, and return to a predetermined location within the Safety Perimeter and land.

# IV. DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC REGULATIONS 14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (a) 

# (b). Identification and registration markings Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption is needed as the UAS will have no entrance to thecabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" may be placed. Given the size ofthe UAV, two-inch letteringwill be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29 (f). The equivalent level ofsafety will be provided by having the UAV marked on its fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the UAV will see the identification ofthe UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the following exemptionsto this regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 10167A. 

# 14C.F.R§ 61.113 (a) 

# & (b): Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command Sections 61.113 (a) 

## & (b) limit private pilots 

# tq non-commercial operations. Because the UAS will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level ofsafety ofcurrent operations by requiring the Pilot operatingthe aircraft to have completed UAS flight training. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries the pilot and passengers, the UAS is remotely controlled with no living thing orcargo on board. Sky Capture Studios UAS is also operated by an autopilot, which greatly reduces the danger of human error. 

# 14C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness. The regulation requires that no person may operate acivil.aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. The FAA has ruled thatthis make and model of UAS does not require an airworthiness certificate. The FAA has issued previous exemptions to this regulation (Exemptions No. 11138). 

# 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. The regulation requires that no person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft -(2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 ofthis chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, orany combination thereof. The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such aflight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the UAS. The equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained by keeping the Flight Manual at the ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to it.The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 10167A,10602,32827,and10700.

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.103: Preflight action This regulation requires each pilot in command totake certain actions before flightto insure the safety oftheflight. Since FAA approved rotorcraftflight manualswill not be provided forthe aircraft an exemption will be needed. An equivalent level ofsafety will be provided. The operatorwill take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoffdistances and aircraft performance data before initiation offlight using the Flight Manual. 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.109: Flight instruction: The regulation requires that no person may operate acivil aircraft {except a manned free balloon) that is being used forflight instruction unlessthataircraft has fullyfunctioning dual controls. UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, bytheirdesign do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use ofacontrol boxthat communicates with the aircraftvia radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptionsforflighttraining withoutfully functional dual controlsfor a numberofaircraft and forflight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K 

## & 9862A. 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.119: Minimum safe altitudes §91.119 establishes safe altitudes foroperation ofcivil aircraft. The UAS will neveroperate at higherthan 400AGL. Compared to flight operations with aircraftor rotorcraftweighting far more than the maximum 55 poundsthe UAS proposed here and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating atorbelow500AGL in other industries. Additionally, the low-altitude operations ofthe UAS will ensure separation between these UAS operations and the operations of conventional aircraftthat must complywith§ 91.119. 

# 14 C.F.R. 

# § 91.121: Altimeter Settings This regulation requires each person operating an aircraftto maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeterthat is set "

...to the elevation ofthe departure airportoran appropriate altimetersetting available before departure." The UAS does not have a barometric altimeter, but is equipped instead with aGPS altitude read out. Due tothe limited altitude requested in this exemption, the FAA has previouslygranted exemption for these types ofoperations {Reference Exemption No.11138). 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions {a) No person may begin aflight in an airplane underVFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weatherconditions) there is enough fuel tofly to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed- · · (1) During the day, to fly afterthatforat least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthatfor at least45 minutes. 

# 6

## Applicant requests exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 because applicant believes that an equivalent level ofsafety can be achieved by limiting flights to 30 minutes or25% ofbattery powerwhichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area. Similar exemptions have been granted to otheroperations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, and 10808. 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.203 (a) (1) & (b): Civil aircraft: Certifications required (a) Except as provided in §91.715, no person may operate acivil aircraft unless it has within itthe following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. Each U.S. airworthiness certificate used to comply with this subparagraph (except a special flight permit, acopy ofthe applicable operations specifications issued under§21.197(c) ofthis chapter, appropriate sections ofthe air carrier manual required by parts 121 and 135 ofthis chapter containing that portion ofthe operations specifications issued under§ 21.197(c), oran authorization under §91.611) must have on itthe registration number assigned tothe aircraft under part47 ofthis chapter. However, the airworthiness certificate need not have on it an assigned special identification number before 10 days afterthat number is first affixed to the aircraft. A revised airworthiness certificate having on it an assigned special identification number, that has been affixed to an aircraft, may only be obtained uponapplication to an FAA Flight Standards district office. (b) No person may operate acivil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) ofthis section oraspecial flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin orcockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers orcrew. The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 55 pounds and is operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents orto display them on the UAS. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the pilotflying the UAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they are applicable to the UAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptionsto this regulation. A representative sample ofother exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700. 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.405 (a): Maintenance Required The Applicant requests exemption from §91.405(a) because the FAA has not developed maintenance standards that would allow an operatorto meetthe part 91 requirements. Also reference Exemption No. 11138. 

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.407 (a) (1): Operation after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding or alteration The applicant requests exemption from §91.407(a) (1) because the FAA has notdeveloped maintenance standards thatwould allow an operatorto meetthe part 91 requirements. Also reference Exemption No. 11138.



# 7

# 14C.F.R. 

# § 91.409 (a) (1) (2): Inspections The applicant requests exemption from §91.409(a) (1) (2) because the FAA has notdeveloped maintenance standards that would allow an operatorto meetthe part 91 requirements. Also reference Exemption No. 11138. 

# 14 C.F.R. 

# § 91.417(a) & {b): Maintenance Records The applicant requests exemption from §91.417(a) (b) because the FM has notdeveloped maintenance standardsthatwould allow an operatorto meetthe part 91 requirements. Also reference Exemption No.11138. Sky Capture Studioswill maintain the UAS as instructed in the owner's manual, and will notoperate the UAS until it has determined that any needed repairs havebeen made. 

# Privacy All flights will occurover private orcontrolled access propertywith the propertyowner's priorconsent and knowledge. Filming will be ofpeople who have also consented to being filmed orotherwise have agreed to be in the area where filming will take place. The grant ofthis exemption request will provide improved safety in both day and nightoperations. Satisfaction ofthe criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of2012-size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line ofsight and national security
- provide more than adequate justification forthe grant ofthe requested exemptions allowing commercial operation ofapplicant's UAS. ASummary for Federal Register Publication is provided in Attachment C.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affectthe accuracyof the onboard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom awayfrom obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. (4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers. (5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. (6) Do notfly the aircraftwithin no-flyzones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. (5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. (8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (10) OJI VISION App can connectto the camera.**~-------~---------·---·-** ..

### ---------·

### L~**Ca~I:JrC11if19!_he ~~llll>~ss**  IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poorflight performance orevenflight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

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

### 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more details.·

:\;\: If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App's camera page. It will disappear after successful calibration. 

### 1.2When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicatorwill blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to lastflight. (3) Mechanical structure ofthe Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position ofthe compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does notfly in straight lines.


### 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead ·of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to startthe motors. Oncethe motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously

.



### 2.2 Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Figure 49 Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds.

[1] [2] Figure 50 Figure 51 

# 0 Do not execute CSC during normalflight. This will stopthe motors and cause the aircraftto dropwithout control. :\;\: • Conductthe

## esc as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors starVstop. • Pull down the throttle stickto descend. The stick will lockinto place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock.



### 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Ex1ender, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphonethen enter the camera preview page. {4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Ready to Ry (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC commandto start motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18)for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32)for more details. (7) To land, hoverover a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gentlyto descend. (8) After landing, execute the 

## esc command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn offthe smart battery, Range Ex1ender and Remote Controller.

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC andthe Phantom will 

### nottake off. The beloware some possible fixes forthis. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks attheir mid-point posiUons and then power cycle the Phantom 2Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controllersticks have been trimmed, leading to adeviaUon inthe mid-point position. Solution: UseAssistantto perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through theircomplete travel range to see

# n any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Powercycle the Phantom 2Vision+. Powercycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. IIthe above solutions donot solve your issue, please send your Remote Controllerto OJI Customerservice lor repair. 

### 3.2 Howto restore avideo file ifpower isturned offduring a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back intothe camera. Powercycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for the video file to be restored. 

### 3.3 Failure to acquirethe SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switchedto "Wi-Fi ON.· 

### 3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out ofsight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? Solution: Tum off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land atthe Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and thatyou are familiarwith the procedure for regaining control. 

### 3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double check the current Wi·Fi connection status ofthe mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to otherWi-fi networks after aconnection breakswith the Phantom 2Vision+.

### The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature. 

# --·---'-··**~-·--,** Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode arefound below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength ofGPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can bestabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point 

### if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refertothe IOC section in theAppendix.



## :<;/: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight modeofthe aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26for more information.

## l'l.oull). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidly when the horne point is recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again toterminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

# ] The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure bypressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude.

# e

1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. , P 

### 2. Place the aircraft on aflat surface. Note thatthe Vision Positioning system cannotwork '.

properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place. 

## &, The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution.in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flyin.g at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over4 m/s at 1meter). • Flying over water ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying 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 the same design). • Rying over inclined surfacesthat will deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended thatyou use the flight simulator in the DJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.

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

snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radio transmission towers.

### All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitude from exceeding 1640feet (500 m)

. Maximum flight altitude 

### & Radius Limits Maximumflight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 164q feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately.
How do I change thecontrol modeof my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a differentfrequency.·The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.
Can I usea Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Batterywith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and avoltage of 15.2 V. My Phantom 3 does not turn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or corrupted.
Do I haveto buy the Remote Controller separately? No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linked to the aircraft.
Does my Phantom 3 supportdual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control boththe aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same time.
What does the "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controllerdo? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle differentflight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3 will attempt to stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC section in the Appendix ofthe User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes.Phantom 3 Professional

## i ground. Why is the dischargetime of the battery notzero, even though I have never used it? 

### Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use.
Can the mobiledevice holder be used on the Phantom 2 series**~emote** Controller? 

### No, it cannot.
Howto safely operatethe aircraft when encountering compass error? 

### A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI GO app will display one of the following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power offthe aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume theflight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midairto mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.
Howto troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? 

### If you observe the following symptoms, it'indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

Various factors contributeto the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraftto DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 secondsto resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, lor instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.

# 8. Crew for each operation will consist ofthe UAS pilot (PIC) who will keep the UAS within his visual line ofsight at all times. 9. When training the PIC must be sure that they are in a very large open area, aware oftheir surroundings and always flying in areasvoid ofobstacles and awayfrom traffic and people. Important Safety Notice Use your Phantom carefully. It contains sensitive electronic components and may be damaged when dropped, crashed orexposed to water. Neverfly a damaged Phantom. Maintenance Do not open orattemptto repair a Phantom by yourself as doing so may cause damage to the Phantom orcause injury. Ifthe Phantom is not operating normally or has come into contactwith liquid, contact a DJI authorized dealer or DJI customer service. Learn more at www.dji.com/support Battery Never disassemble, pinch, crush, burn, drop ortread on the DJI smartflight battery. Never short orallow the metal contacts on the battery terminal to touch. Do not expose batteries to extreme temperatures. Always use the DJI approved chargerto charge the battery. Keep the DJI battery awayfrom children and store in a cool, dry place. 

# PRE-FLIGHT CHECK The PIC shall perform a thorough pre-flight check everytime before flight. Refer to the Phantom 2 Vision+ User Manual orthe Phantom 3 Professional/Advanced User Manual. 1. Checkthat the battery charged and properly installed. 2. Checkthe propellers, landing gearorother parts forshow signs ofwear. 3. Checkthat all the LEOs working. 4. Checkthat the compass has been calibrated. 5. Checkto see ifthere is anything in the motorsthat might cause obstruction. (Note: spinning props can cause injury-make sure the propellers are disarmed before handling the Phantom). 6. Establish a Safe Area within which the flightwill take place. 7. Establish a Safety Perimeterforthe flight operations area. 8. Before take-off, make sure that all personnel are a safe distancefrom the UAS. 9. Avoid taking offwith the drone facing towards the PIC ("nose in"). 10.Aiwaystum on the Remote Controller priorto turning on the Phantom. 11.Toggle S1, S2 to the top 12.Before actuallytaking off, be sure you have calibrated the compass and you have full GPS satellite reception (Slow Continuous Green Flashing). 13.Do NotTouch the propellers afterthe Phantom has been started. 14.Referto Section 3 Flight Test ofthe Phantom 2 Vision + User Manual orthe Phantom 3 Professional/Advanced User Manual.

# IN FLIGHT 1. Be sure there are no distractions when flying the UAS. · 2. Flights will always be operated within visual line ofsight ofthe PIC. Always watch the UAS. 3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be 30 minutes. The UAS calculates battery reserve in real time, and will return to its ground station with at least 20% battery power reserve should that occur priorto the 30 minute limit. 4. Flights will normally be operated at an altitude of less than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), neverexceeding 400 feet AGL. This is an FAA regulation and ensures yourflight doesn't interfere with manned flights in your area. 5. Maintain a distance of5 miles from airports (per FAA regulations) so as not to interfere with manned flights. 6. Maintain a safe distancefrom ·people, vehicles, buildings and other major structures orgeographical features. 7. Make sure no structures come between the PIC and the UAS that might interfere with the signal and cause loss ofcontrol. 8. Make sure you knowthe boundaries ofyoursafeflying area, and bring your UAS back ifyou exceed them. 9. Ifthe UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will have capability to enter "loiter mode" and hover, reestablish satellite connection, and return to a predetermined location within the Safety Perimeterand land. 1O.lfthe UAS starts behaving strangely in flight, bring it back home. 11.When in doubt, gently pull down on the throttle stick and land.

# Caution Fly with your eyes and ears open-not recklessly, or oblivious to congested and high traffic areas, or to sensitive areas such as airports or other "No-Fly Zones." Do not fly in ways that endanger people or property. Do notfly UAS in a reckless or aggressive mannerthatmight cause loss of control. Do notfly too far away, where PIC might lose control or lose the connection between the controller and the UAS. Do not fly the UAS where it's illegal to do so. Do notfly the UAS in away that might intimidate someone. While flying, do not take your eyes offthe UAS for stretches oftime. UAS have sharp, fast-spinning propellers that can hurt someone or damage property. CROWDS It is the PICsjobto ensure the safetyofthe people nearby, and should avoid flying over people and crowds atall times. Should the PIC lose control or battery power, the UAS mayfall and strike someone. Though UAS are relatively low-weight and the chances of them doing serious harm are quite slim, the sharp spinning propellers can do damage, and the UAS itselfcan cause a scare or injury. NO-FLYZONES The FAA plansto launch an app called B4UFLY, which will advise UAS users ofany flight restrictions in their area, based on their GPS location. It is expected thatthe FAA, whose mission it is to ensure a safe national airspace, will keep this database accurate and up to date. Anotheroption isto use Airmap, an app that serves much the same purpose. It is highly recommend that all 3DR users reference a resource likethese apps before anyflight. Following is a list ofcurrently off-limits areasto UAS in the US. This is not onlyforthe safety of people nearby, butforthe PIC as well because violations ofsome ofthese spaces could result in legal action.
