Flight

This chapter describes the flight safety 

and flight restrictions.
50 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , 

snow, rain and smog.

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board 

compass and GPS signal.

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

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. 

Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced.

6. The Inspire 1 Pro cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following 

section.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national 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 limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones.

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI 

GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 Pro will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

120m and under. 

Warning: Height limit 

reached. None.

Max Radius No limits

 If you fly out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1 Pro, but cannot fly it further. 

 If the Inspire 1 Pro flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back 

within range automatically. 

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly 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 borders between countries or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below:

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, 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 is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

in the DJI GO app.

INSPIRE 1 PRO User Manual

Restricted Areas: 

(1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight altitude restriction. 

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within 

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area. 

(3) A “warning zone” has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 

km) of this zone, a warning message will appear in the DJI GO app.

Calibrating the Compass

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very 

sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight 

performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.

 DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such 

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.

 DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular 

phones.

 DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.

Calibration Procedures

Choose an open space 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 Aircraft Status 

Indicator bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow the on-screen instructions.

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a 

solid green light. 
© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 55

INSPIRE 1 PRO 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 show solid red.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a 

different location to carry out compass calibration.

Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI GO App, follow the on-screen instruction 

to calibrate the compass.

When to Recalibrate

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow.

2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight. 

3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 Pro has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of 

the compass.

4. When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the Inspire 1 Pro does not fly in straight lines.

Auto Take-off and Auto Landing

Auto Take-off

Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking 

green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off:

1. Place the aircraft on open, flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you.

2. Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery.

3. Launch the DJI GO App and enter the Camera page.

4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly 

now. If it flashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off.

5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off.

Stopping Motors

There are two methods to stop the motors.

Method 1: When the Inspire 1 Pro has landed, push the throttle down , then conduct CSC . Motors will 

stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop.

Intelligent Flight 

Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POI), Follow Me and 

Waypoints features to assist users to create professional shoots during the flight. Course Lock and Home 

Point lock helps to lock the orientation of aircraft so that the user can focus more on other operations. 

Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to fly automatically according to the preset flight maneuvers.

Course Lock Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft’s forward direction. The aircraft 

will move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle). 

Home Lock Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorded Home 

Point. 

Point of Interest The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator 

can be more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest.

Waypoints

Record a flight path, then the aircraft will fly along the same path repeatedly 

while you control the camera and orientation. The flight path can be saved 

and re-apply in the future.

Enable Multiple Flight Mode by launching the DJI GO app > Camera View > > Advanced Settings > 

Multiple Flight Mode before using the Intelligent Flight Mode for the first time.

How to Update Firmware

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery.

Updating the Aircraft Firmware

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100 MB of free space on 

the SD card.

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/

inspire-1-pro-and-raw).

2. Insert the SD card into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SD card. 

Remove the SD card from your PC. Ensure the aircraft is powered off then insert the SD card into the

SD card slot on the camera.

Step 3- Update the Aircraft

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera status indicator 

will blink green and red to indicate the upgrade is in progress and stop blinking when the update is 

complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the “.txt” file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text “result: successful” is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text “result: failed” is found or the camera status indicator shows solid red.

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware

Ensure the DJI GO app has been updated to v1.2.0 before updating the remote controller. The 

System Status bar in Camera View of the DJI GO App will flash several times if a firmware update is 

available. Follow these steps to update the firmware via the DJI GO App.

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

1. The remote controller has at least 50% battery level.

2. Your mobile device is able to access the internet.

3. There is at least 30 MB of free space on your mobile device.

Step 2- Download and Update the Firmware

1. Go to the DJI GO App > Camera View > System Status bar > Overall Status. Tap Download the 

firmware update package to download and update the firmware. Track the update progress from 

progress bar in the DJI GO App. The status LED on the remote controller will blink blue during update 

and blink green when update is complete with success.

Firmware update through the DJI GO app will not work with older versions of the remote controller 

firmware. If the firmware update fails, follow the instructions below to update the firmware using the 

traditional method:

a. Update the latest firmware package files from DJI official web site. 

b. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SD card or USB flash drive.

c. Turn off the remote controller, Insert the SD card into a SD card reader or the USB disk onto the 

remote controller USB port when remote controller is turned off. 

d. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off 

the remote controller during the update.

e. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound 

a beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the 

update is in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping 

sound will stop if the upgrade is completed with success.

f . If you do not have a SD card reader, you may insert the SD card into the gimbal and connect the 

gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller.

You will only be able to update the remote controller firmware through the DJI GO app from 

this point onwards.
