This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning 

System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery 
10 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

Aircraft 
Flight Controller 

The Phantom 3 Advanced’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. 

Flight Mode 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below:Pmode (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 

Advanced depending on signal strength of GPS 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 only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision 

Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only 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 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, 

refer to the IOC section in the Appendix. 

Use the Flight Controller 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 Advanced has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions 

of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: 

Aircraft Status Indicator 

Front LED 

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when 

the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status 

Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table 

below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators:

The Return-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. 

Home Point 

Smart RTH 

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from 

which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( 

). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home 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 Pilot app and follow the on-screen 

instructions when GPS is available to ini- tiate 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.

Sufficient battery level(Green) 

Phantom 3 Advanced 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 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:

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

automatically, you may 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 remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the 

aircraft’s current location and status. 

Failsafe RTH 

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, 

Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for 

more than three seconds. The Return- to-Home process may be interrupted and the 

operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal connection is 

re-established.

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

to set an suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter 

“Camera” and 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. 

Vision Positioning System 

The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current 

position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Advanced can hover in place more precisely 

and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the 

Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Advanced; they include [2] two 

ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera. 

[1] [2] 
14 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Advanced 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. 

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:1. Toggle the flight mode switch to P-mode.2. 

Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot work 

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 Pmode 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 over a highly reflective surfaces.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). Flying over inclined 

surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. 

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 function properly 

when the aircraft is flying over water. The Vision Positioning System may not be able to 

recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux). 

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning 

system is in operation.Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft 

when flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds..

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight 

simulator in the DJI Pilot app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure 

that all flights are carried out in an open area. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

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 on- board compass and GPS system. 

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations and radio transmission towers. 

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

density and temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 

685 feet (6000 meters) above sea level, as the performance of the battery and 

aircraft may be affected. 

6. The Phantom 3 Advanced cannot operate within the polar areas. 

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones 

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 1640 feet (500 m) . 

Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits 

Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI Pilot app. Be 

aware that the maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In 

accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Advanced will fly in a restricted 

cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones 

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. NoFly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports 

and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas 

include border lines between countries or sensitive institute. The details of the No-Fly 

Zones are explained as follow: 

Airport 

. (1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted 

Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles of various sizes. 

. (2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around 

the airport is a Take- off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented. 

. (3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 

degree inclination. Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and 

radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 

mile 

. (4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning 

message will appear on the DJI Pilot app.

Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORTANT: Always calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass 

is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can produce abnormal 

compass data and lead to poor flight 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 interference include magnetite, parking structures, 

and subterranean metal structuresDo not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during 

calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

Do not calibrate in direct proximity to large metal objects. DO NOT calibrate indoors. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.1. Ensure that the compass 

is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight 

preparations, or if you have moved 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 light. 

Flight 

44 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual 3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing 

downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center 

axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator glows solid red. 
Flight 

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, 

move your aircraft to a different location and try again. 

Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate the compass. DO NOT calibrate 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 yellow. 2.When flying in a new location or in a location that is different from the 

most recent flight. 3.When the mechanical or physical structure of the Phantom 3 

Advanced has been changed. 4.When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom 3

FAQ 

48 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

What is the difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced? 

The biggest difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced is in the camera. 

The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting spectacular 4K video at up to 30 frames per second, 

and the Phantom 3 Advanced is capable of shooting at resolutions up to 1080p60. Both models shoot 12 

megapixel photos. 

The other main difference is the Intelligent Flight Battery charger. The Phantom 3 Advanced comes with a 

57-watt charging unit and the Phantom 3 Professional comes with a 100-watt charger, the latter of which 

allows for shorter charging times. 

Can I remove the camera and attach my own? 

No. The cameras that come with both models are permanently attached. Attempting to remove, replace, or 

modify the camera may damage the product and will void your warranty. 

Can I charge my Remote Controller and Intelligent Flight Battery at the same time? 

While the Remote Controller charger and Intelligent Flight Battery charger have been integrated into one 

unit for your convenience, it is recommended that you only charge one item at a time. We recommend that 

you never charge both items using the same charger at the same time. 

What are the buttons on the back of my Remote Controller for? 

The two buttons on the back of the Remote Controller can be customized and assigned to function as you 

choose through the DJI Pilot app. Refer to the manual for more information. 

How far can I fly my Phantom 3? 

The signal transmission distance will vary depending on environmental conditions, but the Phantom 3 

series can reach distances of up to 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away from the pilot. 

What app should I use with my Phantom 3? 

The Phantom 3 is compatible with the DJI Pilot app for iOS and Android, which is already used with the DJI 

Inspire. The app will detect which aircraft is connected and automatically adjust accordingly. 
Which mobile devices are compatible with the app? 

The DJI Pilot app is only compatible with devices running iOS 8.0 or later or Android v4.1.2 or later.The 

following devices are recommended:iOS: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Air Wi-Fi +

FAQ 

Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual 

How do I use the Director automatic video editor? 

Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI Pilot app. After recording several video clips, simply 

tap “Director” from the app’s home screen. 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 the control mode of 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 Pilot app. This is only 

recommended for advanced users. 

Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controller with the Phantom 3? 

No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller 

operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz. 

Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with 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 a voltage 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 have to 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 support dual Remote Controllers? 

No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same 

time. 

What does the “P, A, F” switch on the Remote Controller do? 

This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight 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 of the User Manual.By 

default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other 

modes.

FAQ 

What is the Phantom 3 flight time? 

Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight 

Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged. 

How can I restore a video file if the power is turned off during recording? 

Do not remove the Micro-SD card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. 

Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored. 

How can I ensure that my pictures and videos will be synchronized to my iOS album? 

You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab, 

select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the DJI Pilot app icon. If the Pilot app has not 

been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized. 

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? 

Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the 

ground. 

Why is the discharge time of the battery not zero, 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 mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? 

No, it cannot. 

How to safely operate the 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 DJI Pilot 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 off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a 

different location and then resume the flight. 

• 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 midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch back to P-GPS mode when the automatic 

adjustment is completed.
