. This book is offered in a format so that pilots can customize the checklists to their exact needs. Please print out this handbook, make notes while watching the video regarding the checklist, then change the wording and order to suit your needs. Then print out the revised form and laminate it in plastic. Use it every time you operate your aircraft. Keep the log books regarding the following:

1) Pilot flight time 2) Aircraft flight time 3) Aircraft maintenance and updates 4) Battery usage, date put into service, voltage, mah vs time

Print out and make readily available the error message legend of various flashing lights. Know what to do without hesitation should you observe warnings.

The FAA requires pilots to acquire authorization from the FAA to operate any sUAS for commercial purposes. TBM can assist pilots to acquire the necessary training, flight certification, airworthiness exemptions, certificates of authority, etc. to operate legally in the USA.

Insurance is highly recommended! TBM offers courses wh ich meet the guidelines of insurance companies. We highly recommend obtaining training from TBM. Not only will it be expensive to repair your aircraft in the event of an incident, if you injure bystanders or damage other people’s property you are liable for damages which could run into the millions of dollars. Troy Built Models recommends various insurance companies on this webpage: http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/ns/tbminfo/suasinsurance.shtml

Errors & Omissions should be sent
to cu stomerservice@troybuiltmodels.com . We will promptly update the POH for everyone to have the latest updates available. Check the Troy Built Models website for the latest version of a variety of POHs.3

o Va – Typical Maneuvering Speed – 10 m/s

• POWER & POWERPLANT LIMITATIONS

o 10 Amps max per motor

o 10 Amps max per speed control

o 40 Amps max total

o Do not exceed 80-90% discharge of rated battery capacity

o Do not charge batteries which are warmer than air temperature

o Allow batteries to cool after use before charging

o Leave an air gap between batteries when multiple batteries are used simultaneously

• WEIGHT LIMITS

o Takeoff Weight Max: 3 lbs

 Must be checked prior to takeoff if any change in
eq uipment is made

• CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS

o 3mm from the center of any of the three pairs of arms

 Must be checked before every flight to ensure ba tteries were installed in the proper location.

 Check all 4 pairs of arms before flight

• MANEUVER LIMITS

o This aircraft is intended for non-aerobatic operations

© 2015 DJI Innovations. All Rights R eserve d

.

 Keep Batteries above 5°C before flight

 Do not fly with any frost or ice on the propellers

o In warm temperatures

 Batteries heat up when discharged

 The higher the discharge rate the higher the te mperature increase during use

 At temperatures above 45°C, use of 2 or more ba tteries is required to lower the load on any one battery pack to keep it cooler.

• WEATHER LIMITS

o Light dust and light rain require the use of a shield for the electronics in the center section.

o Light dust and light rain are acceptable for the unshielded motor and ESC.

• RANGE LIMITS

o FUEL

 Fuel capacity is a primary limiting factor.

 Flying into the wind will use more battery power to
tr avel the same ground distance. Higher air speeds will be required to penetrate the wind which used more battery power. Take this into account when flying a mission.

 Where possible, fly upwind at the start of a mission

an d downwind at the end to avoid depleting the battery before returning to base. Have alternative landing sites available in case of emergency landing.

o WIRELESS LINK

 Wireless links will be stable in LOS (line of sight) in

mo st conditions

 Wireless links are always susceptible to shorter

ra nges due to

• Atmospheric conditions

• Other transmission devices in the area

• Jamming

• Antennas not aligned properly

• Improper voltage

• Antenna blockage from AV in certain positions7

### SECTION 3

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

• MOTOR FAILURE

o Operation is not possible with one motor/ESC/propeller failure

• COMMUNICATION FAILURE

o Video link failure

 5.8 Ghz being the shortest wavelength in general AV

use has the least ability to penetrate. This link should be the first to be lost.

 It is best to lose video first! It is the least likely to

cau se a crash when it fails.

 5.8 Ghz can lose link with little warning.

 Ensure that the GCS station antennas are
p e rpendicular to the AV. Do not point the antenna at the AV.

 Yaw the AV to change the antenna position

 Other links should still be good. Return back to the GC S until link is restored.

 Transmitters produce heat when in operation. When

ov erheated they may have thermal protection which interrupts use temporarily. Use of a heat sink or fan may be required especially with high ambient temperatures.

 Higher gain antennas may be used, but do so with

cau tion. High gain antennas are directional.

 Multiple antennas using “diversity” can be used. Di versity is a device which determines the best signal, and uses that.

 5.8 Ghz even at high wattages theoretically has less

ra nge than lower frequencies. Changing to 1.3 Ghz is an option, though there are other issues to be considered.

o RC link failure

 2.4 Ghz antennas can lose link with little warning.

 Anything in between the two antennas can cause
t e mporary signal loss especially a person.9

© 2015 DJI Innovations. All Rights R eserve d

.

 Hold the transmitter up in the air and walk in the ge neral direction of the AV (aerial vehicle).

 Ensure that the antenna is vertical. Do not point the

an tenna at the AV.

 The failsafes on the RC link should be set so that the AV returns to home. Should this require a heading change, the antenna may move into a more desirable position and link will be restored.

 The onboard equipment may block the signal. Yaw th e AV so that the antennas point towards the GCS.

 A LRS (long range system) can be used as a
pe rmanent solution. This is higher in wattage and usually on 433 Mhz.

o Data Link Failure (if used)

 900 Mhz do not lose link without some warning. W h en drop outs are noticed to increase in frequency that is the limit of the range.

 If using 900 Mhz, this is on cell phone frequency. If a cel l tower is nearby it can swamp the signal. 900 Mhz may not be usable in that area. Change to a different freq. or remain closer to the AV

o LOW BATTERY POWER

 Auto landing will occur when battery power is low. It

ma y land in a tree or a lake, so this is not desirable.

 Landing with 80-90% of battery depleted is best.

o GCS FAILURE

 Takeover by the external pilot should happen ASAP usi ng the RC link.

 Most often happens due to a low battery.

 Keep a spare 3 cell LiPoly battery with the
ap propriate plug to plug into the charge jack for emergency use. Most chargers are 19V output which is roughly equivalent to a 4-cell battery. 3-cell batteries may work.

o COMPASS CALIBRATION ERROR10

© 2015 DJI Innovations. All Rights R eserve d

.

 If the compass is out of calibration the warning light wi ll flash red. This is the same signal as low voltage. If the voltage is correct, there is a calibration error.

 Recalibrate the compass following the instruction

ma nual

o FIRE

 Fires can occur due to a short circuit or battery fa ilure.

 Disconnect the battery ASAP unless there is danger in doing so if there is any electrical issue.

 It is not possible to put out a battery fire.

 Do not attempt to put out a battery fire. Use a fire

ex tinguisher to put out fires surrounding the battery. A CO2 fire extinguisher is better than the powder or chemical type. CO2 does not leave a residue. Water can be used though it may cause other electrical component failures.

o FORCED LANDINGS

 If alternate emergency landing zones should be ch o sen ahead of time.

 Be sure that the LZ is clear of people to avoid any in cidents.

 Land in the nearest LZ which is clear of people.

 Announce your intentions of landing as loud as

ne cessary to alert people of the incoming AV.11

The R e turn-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes
these three scenarios in detail.

GPS Descr i ption

Home Point If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point
is th e location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 26 for more information) ortap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot 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 to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

The l o w battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI I ntelligent 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 Pilot 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 by pressing 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. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below:

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is important to set an

select “MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode” to set the Failsafe altitude. The aircraft will stop its ascent and return to the Home Point immediately if the throttle stick is
moved during the Failsafe RTH procedure.

If th e Home Point was successfully recorded and the compas s is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH willbe automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Returnto-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal connection is re-established.






 When Critical battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically,

you m a y push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location. The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated

 Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is

above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in subop t imal 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, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent 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 or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design).

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters.

The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light
condi t ions (less than 100 lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in op e ration. Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

groun d (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds.. properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
