Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act of the Federal Aviation Regulations from 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a)&(b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b) (2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 119.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a)&(b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409(a) (2); 91.417(a)&(b)



# Dear Sir or Madam, I, Norman Hirsch , am writing pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11, to request that I, Norman Hirsch , an owner and operator of small unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed below so t hat I, Norman Hirsch , may operate my small ultra light weight unmanned aircraf t system (“UAS”) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”).
As described herein I, Norman Hirsch , am a licensed pilot for over 40 years living in Florida ; experienced in flying hobby helicopters for recreational purposes. I have added 2 hobby grade quad-copter s 1 ,2 

# UAS to my inventory equipped with GoPro3 BE and DJI camera s with intent for aerial videography/cinematography to enhance academic community awareness for those individuals and compani es unfamiliar with the geographical layout of the SE Florida area, and will augment real estate listing videos; following exemption and approval by the FAA. There by enhancing their academic research experience for the SE Florida area. I plan to add additional quad-copter s to my inventory in the future with comparable safety capa bilities.
I have flown small single engine aircraft for over forty (40 ) y ears without incident. Committed to safety with each fligh t. My, Norman Hirsch 's, exempt ion request would permit operation of ultra light weight, unmanned (piloted by remote control) and comparatively inexpensive UAS(s) in tightly controlled and limited airspace. 3 

# Predetermined in areas away from general public, airports, heliports and vehicular traffic for community videos, and within property boundaries for individual homeowner real estate listing videos/photos. Currently, similar lightweight, remote controlled UAS's are legally operated by unmonitored amateur hobbyists w ith no safety plan or controls in place to prevent catastrophe. I, Norman Hirsch , have personally instilled safety

# to avoid and prevent public hazard, as well as manned aircraft hazards/catastrophe. This will act to further safety protocols exclusive to lightweight UAS's specific to real estate video and photography usage as I, Norman Hirsch
, record flight data and other information gained th rough permitted flight operations to share with the FAA through any required FAA reports to assist with future protocol and safety regulation. Granting my, Norman Hirsch ’s, request comports with the Secretary of Transportation’s (FAA Administrator’s) responsibilities an d authority to not only integrate UAS's into the national airspace system, but to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS's ] in the national airspace system” under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act specific to the use of UAS's for real estate/Realtor purposes. Further I, Norman Hirsch , will conduct my operations in compliance with th e protocols described herein or as otherwise establ ished by the FAA.
For the reasons stated below I, Norman Hirsch , respectfully request the grant of an exemption allowing me to operate ultra light we ight, remote controlled UAS’s for academic community awareness to benefit/stimulate attraction to the SE Florida area and to enhance real estate listing video s for homeowners who cannot afford expensive manned aircraft for the same purpose. Both of which will promote local economic growth through increased employment and increased tax base. Both with public safety in mind by keeping heavier manned aircraft containing combustible fuel that that poses potential public hazard.

# III. The Extent of relief Norman Hirsch seeks and the Reason He Seeks Such Relief:
I, Norman Hirsch , submit this application in accordance with the Reform Act, 112 P.L. 95 §§ 331-334, seeking relief from an y currently applicable FARs operating to prevent me, Norman Hirsch , contemplated commercial cinematic, academic and other flight operations within the national airsp ace system. The Reform Act in Section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into our national airspace system as it is in the public’s interest to do so. My, Norman Hirsch ’s, ultra light weight UAS meets the definition of “small unma nned aircraft” as defined in Section 331 and therefore the integration of my ultra light weig ht UAS is expressly contemplated by the Reform Act. I would like to operate my ultra light weight UAS prior to the time period by which the Reform Act requires the FAA to promulgate rules governing such craft. Thereby, providing direct experience and valuable information for formal regulation that can be administered uniformly to all real estate related UAS aerial video and photography. The Reform Act guides the Secretary in determining the types of UAS's that may operate safely in our national airspace system. Considerations include: The weight, size, speed and overall capabilities of the UAS's ; Whether the UAS will be operated near airports or heavily populated areas; and, Whether the UAS will be operated by line of sight. 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (a). Each of these items reflect in favor of an exemption for me, Norman Hirsch . My UAS utilize four (4) counter-rotating propellers for balance, control and stability. My UAS is equip ped with GPS and auto return safety technology. Weighing less than five (5) pounds (far below the maximum 55 pound limit); including camera with gimbal.
I, Norman Hirsch , consider safety as foremost with each flight. My small unmanned aircraft is designed to hover in pl ace via GPS and operate in less than a 24 knot (15 mph) wind. For safety, stability and fear of financial loss I will not fly in winds exceeding 16 kph (10 mph). Built in safety systems include a GPS mode that allows my UAS to hover in place when radio controls are released. With three modes to choose from, I utilize the GPS Mode 5



# for aerial videography/photography. This is the safest, most reliable and stable mo de to prevent accident and hazard. When pilot communication is lost UAS is designed slowly descend to point of take off. I do not operate my UAS near airports, Hospitals nor Police heliports, and do not operate near areas where general public is within fifty to one hundred (50-100) yards depending on location, conditions and weather. I am constantly on alert for any manned aircraft (Police/Medical helicopters, etc.) and prepared to land/abort immediately to the nearest and safest ground point should a manned aircraft approach my location or I suspect manned aircraft may approach near my location. My UAS is capable of vertical and horizontal operations, and are flown only within my line of sight of me, as the remote control pilot. Utilizing battery power rather than combustible fuels, flights generally last between five ( 5 ) to nine ( 9 ) minutes, with an altitude under one hundred fifty (150) feet. I, Norman

5 

### GPS Mode includes safe circle for operation, position hold, self-leveling, altitude command, GPS, return home feature, and safety control to return ho me or land in the event of communication interruption between RC transmitter and UAS. See Appendix A - Operator Manual.

# Hirsch , utilize a fresh fully charged battery with each flight as a safety precaution; full flight time limit for each batte ry is ten ( 10 ) to fifteen ( 15 ) minutes as tested. I do not operate my UAS at o r below manufacture recommend minimum charge levels for operation; preferring to remain well within a safe operating range to insure adequate communication between radio control and UAS to eliminate potential for crash, loss of control or hazard. Reserve batteries are at hand with each exercise to insure replacement for sufficient safe level of operation. I do not believe in taking risk that may cause a crash, that could create hazard to the public/property/manned aircraft, and have no desire to lose an investment. I have clocked numerous practice flights in remote areas as a hobbyist simulating flights for future commercial use to gain familiarization with the characteristics of this specific UAS's performance under different temperature and weather conditions. I also practice computerized simulated flights to maintain adequate skills and response reflex time. All for the sake of safety.
I, Norman Hirsch , am extremely cautious when operating of my UAS/ultra light weight unmanned aircraft and wil l not “create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public.” 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (b). Given the small size and weight of my UAS it falls well within Congress’s contemplated safety zone when it promulgated the Reform Act and the corresponding directive to integrate UAS's into the national airspace system. Norman Hirsch ’s UAS, used in hobby flight, has a demonstrable safety record and does not pose any threat t o the general p ublic or national security.
IV. How Norman Hirsch ’s Request Will Benefit the Public As A Whole: Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. For small budget real estate companies and average homeowners the expense of such aerial videography is cost prohibitive. Only large companies and high end Realtors or luxury homeowners can afford to absorb such expense. Depriving non-luxury homeowners and lower budget Realtors from a valuable marketing tool. Manned aircraft pose a threat to the public through potential catastrophic rash that the various communit ies h a ve experienced in the past with milit ary aircraft and medical helicopter crashes within a even cities . Each resulting in loss of life
, e ach with combustible fuel that exploded and burned on impact. Police helico pters have made emergency hard landings within city limits. My, Norman Hirsch 's, UAS pose no such threat since size and lack of combustible fuel alleviates any po tential threat to the public. Congress has already proclaimed that it is in the public’s interest to integrate commercially flown UAS's into the national airspace system, hence the passing of the Reform Act. Granting my, Norman Hirsch ’s, exemption request fur thers the public interest through academic/visual awareness of the geographical benefits in and around the SE Florida area. My ultra light weight UAS is battery powered and creates no emissions that can harm the environm ent. The consequ ence of my ultra light weight UAS crashing is far less than a full size helicopter or fixed wing aircraft; which are heavy, contain combustible fuel and can cause catastrophic devastation to the public.

# The public’s interest is furthered by minimizing ecological and crash threat by permitting aerial video/photo capture through my battery operated ultra light weight UAS's. Permitting me, Norman Hirsch , to immediately fly within national air space furthers economic growth. Granting my exemption request substantially furthers the economic impact for the SE Flor i da community for companies looking to relocate or build in the SE Florida area as well as individuals looking to relocate for career advancement through academic and geographical aware ness. Both of which serve as a stimulus to the community. V. Reasons Why Norman Hirsch ’s Exemption Will Not Adversely Affect Safety Or How The Exemption Will Provide a Level of Safety At Least Equal To Existing Rule: My, Norman Hirsch ’s, exemption will not adversely affect safety. Quite the contrary, for the reasons stated permitting me, Norman Hirsch , to log more flight time in FAA controlled airspace, with communication wi th the FAA, will allow me to contribute to the innovation and implementation of new and novel, as of yet undiscovered safety protocols for Realtors that can be embraced by the NAR 6



# , F AR 7 

# , and RAPB 8 

# for development in cooperation with the FAA. In addition to being a private pilot for 40 yrs I, Norman Hirsch, submit the f ollowing r epresentations o f enhancements to current aerial videography and p hotography for real estate: My UAS weighs less than 5 pounds compl ete with a small ultra light weight high quality GoPro 3 Black camera or DJI Phantom Vision camera ; I only operate my UAS below 3 00 feet 9 

# (well within the 400 foot permissible ceiling set by the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012); my UAS will generally only be operate d for 5

- 9 minutes per flight; I land my UAS prior to manufacturer recommended minimum level of battery power . The UAS has built in warning for low battery as well ; I pilot my UAS through remote control only by line of sight; My UAS has GPS a flight safety feature whereby it hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost; I actively analyze flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance safety protocols; I only operate in reasonably safe environment that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas; I conduct extensive pre-flight inspections and protocol, during which safety carries primary importance; I always obtains all necessary permissions prior to operation; and, I have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger.

# My, Norman Hirsch ’s, safety protocols provide a level of safety equal to or exceeding existing rules. It is import ant to note that absent the integration of commercial UAS into our national airspace system, helicopters are the primary means of aerial video and photography for community awareness and real estate. While the safety record of such helicopters is remarkably astounding, there has been local incident involving loss of life as well as extensive property damage; it is far safer to operate a battery powered ultra light weight UAS. First, the potential loss of life is diminished because UAS's carry no people on board and I only operates my UAS in specific areas away from mass populations. Second, there is no fuel on board a UAS and thus the potential for fire or explosions is greatly diminished. Third, the small size and extreme maneuverability of my UAS allow me to remotely pilot away from and avoid hazards quickly and safely. Lastly, given its small size and weight, even when close enough to capture amazing images, my UAS need not be so close to the objects they are focused on through the technology and use of post editing software allowing pan and zoom. Accordingly, my UAS has been experimentally operated for familiarization/competency and will continue to operate at and above curre nt safety levels. VI. A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Register:
A. 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals and The Like. 14 C.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR § 91.203(a)(1). The size, weight and enclosed operational area of my, Norman Hirsch ’s, UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because my UAS meets (and exceeds) an equiva lent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. My, Norman Hirsch ’s, current and projected UAS's meet or exceed each of the elements. 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is inapplicable. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no on board pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a

# s afety/flight manual delineating areas of where safety can be defined. 10 

# The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700 and 32827.
14 C.F.R. § 91.121 regarding altimeter settings is inapplicable insofar as my UAS utilizes electronic global positioning systems with a barometric sensor. 14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrations. They are inapplicable for the same reasons described above. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations by me, Norman Hirsch

. B. 14 C.F.R. § 45.23: Marking of The Aircraft. Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain specifications. My UAS are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, two-inch lettering is difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller that minimal lettering requirement. Regardless, I will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing the word “EXPERIMENTAL” on i ts fuselage as required by 14 C.F.R. §45.29 (f) so that I the pilot, or anyone assistin g me as a spotter with the UAV will see the markings. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation through Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 10167A and 107 00. C. 14 C.F.R. § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: PIC. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limited to non-commercial operations. I, Norman Hirsch , can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current Regulations because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. Further, I do possess a n FAA pilot license 11 

## w hich helps remo te control piloting skills. The risks attend ed to the operation of my UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus, allowing me, Norman Hirsch , to operate my UAS meet and exceed current safety levels in relation to 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b).
D. 14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. 14 C.F.R. § 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. My UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 3 00 AGL; safely below the standard of 400 AGL. I, Norman Hirsch , will however operate my UAS in safe areas away from public and traffic, providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be a chieved. E. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections.

## The above-cited Regulations require, amongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to “have [the] aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter. . . .” These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. They will not, therefore, apply to my, Norman Hirsch 's, UAS. However, as a safety precaution I inspect my UAS before and after each flight.

Therefore, an equivalent level of safety will be achieved.

I n s ummary, Norman Hirsch s eeks a n e xemption f rom t he f ollowing Regulations:

14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H; 14 C. F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. § 91.7 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.103(b); 14 C.F.R. § 91.109; 14 C.F.R. § 91.119; 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. § 91.405 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.407 (a)(1); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a ) (2); and, 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417 (a) & (b) to commercially operate my, Norman Hirsch 's, small unmanned vehicle/lightweight unmanned aircraft vehicle in community awareness and real estate operations, and to de velop economic platforms for real estate to enhance the experience of those seeking to relocate to the SE Florida area. Currently, area awarene ss and real estate aerial videography/photography relies primarily on the use of larger aircraft running on combustible fuel. Posing potential risk to the public. Granting my, Norman Hirsch ’s, request for exemption will reduce current risk levels and thereby enhance safety. My UAS craft do not contain potentially

# explosive fuel, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than conventional real estate video and photographic aircraft with much less flight time. Further, I operate at lower altitudes and in controlled airspace eliminating potential public risk flying to and from established air fields. I, Norman Hirsch , have been informally analyzing flight information and will compile safety protoco ls and the implementation of a flight operations manual for real estate usage that exceeds currently accepted means and methods for safe flight. Formal collection of information shared with the FAA will enhance the FAA's internal efforts to establish protocols for complying with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. There are no personnel on board my, Norman Hirsch' s, UAS and therefore the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury is significantly diminished. My, Norman Hirsch ’s, operation of my UAS, weighing less than 5 pounds and travelling at lower speeds within limited areas will provide an equivalent level of safety as that achieved under current FARs. Accordingly I, Norman Hirsch , respectfully request that the FAA grant my exemption request and am willing to cooperate in sharing information to benefit the FAA, safety of manned aircraft, and the general public at large. Respectfully submitted,

The built

- in flight control system is u s ed to control the entire aircraft’s functions in flight such as Pitch (forward s
and backward s ) , Roll (left and right), Elevator (up and down) and Yaw (turn left or right). The flight controller
contains the MC (Ma in Controller) , IMU, GPS, compass, receiver and LED indicators. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built

- in inertial sensor and a barometric al timeter that measure s both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height in order to lock the aircraft in a stable hover. The receiv er
is used to communicate with t he remote controller and the MC acts as the brain s of the complete flight control
system connecting and controlling all the modules together.



### 8.3 LED Flight Indicators Description After powering on the intelligent battery, the LED flight indicators light up to show the aircraft ’s current status.

# 10 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures prior to the first flight.

The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which cause s abnormal compass data and lead s

to poor flight performance or even flight failure . Regular calibration of the compass enabl es the compass to perform at its optimal level.



### 10.1 Calibration Warnings (1)

(2) (3) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there i s a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic

interference such as magnetite, parking structures , and steel reinforcement under ground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materia ls with you during calibration such as keys or cell ular phones. Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly

.



### 10.2 Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM 2 VISION for more compass calibration details.



### 10.3 When Recalibration is Required (1) When Compass Data is abnormal, the LED flight indicator will blink alternating between red and yellow. (2) Last compass calibration was performed at a completely different flying field/location. (3) The mechanical structure of the aircraft has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. (4) Evident drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the aircraft doesn ’ t fly in straight lines.© 201 3-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.

# 11 Flight 11.1 Flying Environment Requirements

(1)

(2) (3)

(4) (5)

(6) (7) Before your first flight , please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice fly ing, getting instruction from an experienced person, etc.).

D O NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog.
The flying field should be open and void of tall build ings or other obstacles; the steel structure

within buildin gs may interfere with the compass. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. Try to avoid interference between the remote control ler and other wireles s equipment. (No base

station s or cell tower s around)
The flight control system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. All parts must be kept out of the reach of children to avoid CHOKING HAZARD S ; if a child has accidentally swallow ed any part , you should seek immediate medical assistance.



### 11.2 Starting the Motors
A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the throttle stick up
. This is a safety precaution to prevent the motors from accidentally spinning up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners as indicated in the diagram below to start the motors. Once the motors have sp un up, release both stick s simultaneously. The same c om bination stick command (CSC) is used to st op the motors.

. R efer to the < DJI VISION App Usage> for more details. Be sure you are hovering over a level surface. Pull down on the throttle stick gently to de scend and land. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest pos ition for about 3 to 5

seconds which will automatically stop the motors.

You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight ! This will stop the motors and cause
the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. (1)

(2)

(3) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight , the aircraft has entered in to
Failsafe mode , refer to <Failsafe Function> for details.
A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blink ing red slowly or rapidly during flight . R efer to the <Low Battery Capacity Warning Function> for details. Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information.



### 11.4 Failsafe Function
The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost . T he flight control
system will auto matically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage

. T he following situations w ould make the aircraft fail to receiv e a signal from the remote controller and enter Fa ilsafe

mode: (1) The remote controller is power ed off. (2) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. (3) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller.
Failsafe works different ly depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode. Ready to Fly (non-GPS)

---- Automatic landing The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. N ote that the aircraft may

be drift ing during d escent and landing process. Ready to Fly ---- Automatic g o home and land

T he flight control system will auto matically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.© 201 3-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved. 

### 33 | Home Point When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated.



### Go Home Procedures

I n a Failsafe situation, if less than 6 GPS satellites are found for more than 20 seconds, the aircraft will descend automatically.
In Phantom 2 Vision mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “ Ready to fly ” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Q uickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controller from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2 VISION . When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on the LE D Flight Indicator. T he definition of “ home point ” is: i) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 VISION returns to when the control signal is lost , which is recorded last

time

. ii) The home point is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft, the distance will be displayed on the DJI VISION App

.

### 11.5 Low Battery Capacity Warning Function
The low battery capacity warning alerts users when the battery is close to depletion during flight. When it appears, users should promptly fly back and land to avoid accidental damage. The PHANTOM 2 VISION has two

levels of low battery capacity warning. The first appears when the battery has less than 30% power and the

second when it has less than 15 %. When battery power drops below 30% an LED indicator will blink red slowly and an alert will show on the DJI VISION app; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning>. A t lower than 15 % the LED indicator will blink red rapidly and the DJI VISION app will sound an alarm; refer to the <DJI VISION app Low Battery Capacity Warning> . The PHANTOM 2 VISION will also begin to descend and land automatically. After it has
landed, k eep the throttle stick at its lowest point or execute CSC; refer to <Starting the Motors>. If you push the throttle stick above the mid

- point, the PHANTOM 2 VISION will ascend slowly. Use the throttle, pitch, roll and yaw sticks normally to find a more app ropriate landing area if required.
There is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto

- landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling up on the throttle.)



### DJI VISION App Low Battery Capacity Warning DJI VISION App will show low battery capacity warnings. (1) A red rectangle will blink on the camera screen. (2) Audible alarm. Make sure the sound is turned on and volume is turned up on your mobile device. (3) The aircraft battery icon will turn red.© 201 3-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved. 

### 35 | Low Battery Capacity Warning

Refer to the <DJI VISION App Usage> for details. (1) Remember to fly your P HANTOM 2 VISION back as soon as you see a low battery capacity warning. (2) The PHANTOM 2 VISION is "Ready To Fly," "Ready to Capture" and "Ready to Share" but it is still an aircraft. Keeping the battery contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust

may cause a communication failure.



### 11.6 Flight Limits All UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations at ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and per country airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, distance limits. In Ready to Fly status, height and distance limits works together to restrict the flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) status, only height limit works and the flying height restricted to be not over 120m.

(1) The default parameters in the Assistant Software is compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace Classification to get more d etails). As each country has its

# 14 Troubleshooting ( FAQ ) 14.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) and the aircraft will not take off. Below are possible situations where the
Remote Controller’s stick(s) mid-point margins of error could be too big: (1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick position (except the throttle stick) is not center ed when powering on the
PHANTOM 2 VISION.
Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at the ir mid-point positions and then power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION to re-record the mid-point. If the problem persists, this can be caused by scenario (2). (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed which leads to a large deviation of the mid-point position

. Solution: Use the Assistant Software to perform a Remote Controller calibration. To do so, carry out the following procedures. (a) Connect to the Assistant Software, tap Basic-> RC-> Command Sticks Calibration, and push all Remote Controller sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outer most position. (b) Power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Note that a power cycle is required. (c) Redo the Remote Controller calibration according to the Assistant Software.

I f the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair.



### 14.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session?
