# Aircraft This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

# Aircraft Flight Controller 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 contro l signal is lost. The flight controller ca n also save critical flight data from eac h flight to the on-board storage device. The new f light controller also prov ides increased stabi l ity and a new air braking feature . 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found 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 of GPS and Vision Positioning se nsors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available . Th e aircraft is using GPS for positioning . P-OPTI : Vision Pos iti oni ng is availab le but the GPS signal strength is not s uffi c ient . The aircraft is using only the Visio n Positioning System for positioning . P-ATII : Neither GPS nor Vision Posi ti o ning is availab le . The aircraft is us ing o nly its barometer for positioning , so only altitude can be stabilized . 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 contro l signa l is lost and the Home Po i nt was recorded successfully . F-mode (Function) : Intell igent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode . F or more info rmation about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix .



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

## Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indi cators . The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure be low :

Ai r craft Status lndtcator Fron t LED



### The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft . Th e Fro nt LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of th e aircraft . The Aircraft Status Indi cato rs communicate the system status of the fl ight cont r o ller .

The Return-to-Horne (RTH) function brings th e aircraft back to the last re co rded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures : Sma rt RTH , Low Battery RT H . and Fai lsafe RTH . This section describes these three scenarios in detail. GPS Home Poin t**~.u ll**  

## Smart RTH De scrip tion If a strong GPS signal was acquired be fore takeoff , the H o me Point is the location from wh ich the aircraft was launched . The GPS signal strength is ind icate d by the GPS icon (**~.u ll**  ) . The aircraft statu s indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is r ecorded .

Use th e 

### RTH button on the remcte contro l ler (refer to " RTH button " on page 26 for mere in formation ) or tap the RTH button in the DJ I GO app and follow th e o n-screen i nstructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH . The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point . Yo u may u se the remote con troller' s con tro l sticks to control the aircraft 's position to avoid a co ll ision during the Smart RTH process . Press and hold the Smart RTH b utton once to start the process , and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regai n full con tro l of the aircraft .Phantom 3 Profess i onal User Manual 

## Low Battery RTH 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 w i ll display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered . The aircraft wi ll automatica ll y return to the Horne Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown . The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote con troller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft ' s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. Th e aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the airc raft long enough to descend from its current altitude . The user can still use the remote controller to a lter the aircraft 's orientation during the landing process . The Battery Level I ndicator is disp l ayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below :

# Flight Th is section describes safe flight practices and flight restrictions.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparatio n is comp lete , it is recommended that you use the fligh t simu lator in the OJI GO app to hone your flight ski ll s and practice f ly in g safely . Ensure that a ll flights are carried out in an open area . 

## Flight Environment Requirements 1 . Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions . These include wi nd speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

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

and radio t ransmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmenta l factors such as air densi ty and

temperature. Be very ca refu l when flying at a ltitudes greater than 1 9 , 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea level , as the perlormance of the battery and aircraft may be affected . 6 . Th e Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar a reas . 

## Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones All unmanned aerial vehic le (UAV) ope rato rs shou ld abide by all regulations set forth by government and regu latory agencies inc l uding the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are li mited by default, which helps users operate this p r oduct safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits , distance l imi ts , and No-Fly Zones .

## Calibrating the Compass I MPORT ANT: A lways ca l ibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference , which ca n produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor fl i ght performance or flight fai l ure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 

# 0 • Do not calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interference . Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures , and subterranean metal structures • Do not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

pho n es . • Do not ca l ib rate in direct proximity to large metal objects . • DO NOT ca l ibrate indoors . 

### Ca li brati on Procedure s Choose an open area to carry out the followi n g procedures . 1. E nsure that the compass is ca l ibrated . If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight

preparations , or if you have move d to a new location since the last calibration , tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select " Calibrate" , then follow the on-screen instructions . 2 . Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees . The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid

green lightPhantom 3 Professional User Ma nu al 3 . Hold the aircraft vertica lly , with nose pointing downward , and rotate it 360 degrees a r ound the center ax is . Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator glows solid red .



# & If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the ca librati o n procedure , move your a irc raft to a different location and try again. :\;): Calibrate th e compass before each flight. Launch the DJ I GO app and follow the on-screen i nstru c ti ons to calibrate the compass . DO NOT ca l ibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars , scaffolding . 

### When to Recalibrate 1.When compass data is abnormal and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green and ye ll ow . 2.When flying in a new location or i n a location that is different from the most re cent flight. 3.When the mechan ica l or physical structure of the Phantom 3 Profess ional has b een changed . 4.When severe drifting occurs in flight , i.e .
