Flight Controller

The Phanicm 3 Professional's Flight controller features several important upgratles, incWtling a new flight

mode. Safety modes include Faiisaie and Rciurn-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your

aircraft if the control signal is Icst The !light con±roller can also save critical flight data from each flight

to the on-board storage device. The new flight conholler also provides Inaeasetl stablliry anti a new air

braking feaMe.

Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below, D

P-mode (Positioning) -. P-mode works bes±when GPS signal is strong, There are three differen, states °

m

of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal

strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors

P-GPS~. GPS and Visioe Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI~. Vision Posi6oning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient The aircraft is

using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.

P-ATTP. N2iCner GPS nor Vision Posifioning Is available. The aircraft Is using only its barome?er for

positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.

A-mode (Attitude)- GPS and Vision Posi1'ioning System are not used for stanillzaYioa The aircrafr ony uses

Its 6aromoter. The aircraH can still automatically rstum to the home point rf the cgntrol signal is lost and

Che Homy Point was recorded successfully.

F-mode (Functlon): Intelii~enr Orientatlon Control (IOC) is ectivatod in this made. For more Informan'on

about IOC, reterto the IOC section in iha Appendix.

=~; Use tl~e Flight Conholler mode switch to change the tight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Right

Low Battery RTH

The low battory level failsafe is triggered when the DJI intelligent Flight Battery is deple[ed to a point that

may affect the sate return of the aircraft. Users are advised io return home or land the airoraft immediately

when prompted. The ~JI GO app will display a notice when a low bai[ery warring is triggered. The

aircraft will automatically return fo the Home ?oint if nc action Is taken after aten-second countdown. The

user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller, The Yhresholds

for these vea;nings are automatically deYermined'oased on the aircraft's currant altitude and dlsYanco from

the Home Point.

The aircraft will land automatically if 51?e curront baHery level can only support the aircraft long enough

to descend from its current altlNde. The user can sfill use the remote conVoiler to alter the aircraft's

orientation during the landing process.

area.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weamer conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 mks ,

snow, rain and tog.

2 Only fly in open areas. Tail structures and large metal simetures mzy affect the acwracy of the onboard compass and GPS system.

3. Avoid obsYades, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodes of water.

4. Minimize interference by avoid!ng areas wish high levels of electromagnetism, Including base stations

and radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmonial factors such as air density and

tempeiature.Be very careful when Plying at altlCudes grea(er than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea

~ level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft maybe aNectetl.

~ 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas.

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones

AID unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should a61de by alt regulations set forth by govemmeoC find

regulatory z~gencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by defaWt,

which helps users operate this product safety and legally. Right limitations Include height limits, distance

limits, and NaFly Zones.

When operating in P-mode, holght limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to

manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height ':units are in effec[, which by default prevent the aircraft

altinade from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m)

Maximum flight altitude &Radius Limits

Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. 8e aware that the maeimum

flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accortlance with these settings, your Phantom 3

1. Remote conholler, Inteillgerrt Flight Battery, and mobile device are fully charged.

2 Propellers are mounted corcectly and firmly.

3. Micro-SD card has bee,^. inserted, ii necessary.

4. Gimbal is functioning normally.

5. Motors can start and are functioning normally.

6. The DJI GO app is successfully connected to the aircraft.

Galibra#ing the Compass

IMPORTANT: Always calibrate the compass in every new tlighl location. The compassis very sensitive

to electromagne!ic interference, which can produce abnormal compass data and lead +.o poor fligh?

performance or flight failure, Regular calibration is required for optimal performance,

• Do not calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interference.

Sources of potential 'mterferonce Include magneCite, parking structures, and subterranean

~' rc~eCal sSucP~~s

• Do not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones.

• Do not calibrate in direct oroximily to large metal objecCs

• DO NOT calibrate indoors.

Calibration Procedures

Choose an opon area to carry out the following procedures.

1. Ensure that tYic~ compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part or your pre-flight

preparations, or it you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap the Aircraft Status

Bar in the app and select "Calibrate°, then fo0ow ire on-^,creep inshuctions.

2. Hold the aircraR horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid

green light.

aimrah to a different location and try again.

;OE Calibrate the compass before each flight Launch the DJI GO app acd follow the on-screen

instructions to calibrate the compass. DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such

as a metal bridge, cars, scaffoltling.

When to Recaiibrate

How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?

A compass error may occur whan the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g.

power transmission Il,~es). Aircraft Status indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error

occurs and the ~7JI GO app will display one of the following mess~ges.

• Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft !s receiving abnormal compass roadings. It (s recommended

to power off the aircraft and re-callbrete the compass at a different location and then resume the flight.

• Compass srtor, exi; P-GPS Mode

This warning mossage indicates thaP the eireraft is cinfting severely. Bring tl~e aircraft to a higher altiCude

to gein enough GPS satelliCe locks when Yhis wxming message Is prompted. The flight controller will

automaticaly adjust the orien[afion of the aircraft In the midair to mitigate the drifts The alrerafC will switch

back to P-GPS mode when the automaHe edjusCment Is completed.

How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error?

if you observe tP~e Pollowtrg symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to inifiallzed:

The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed nn the
