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 inctude wind speed exceeding 10m/s , 

snow, rain and smog. 

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

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, higii 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 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. „

No-Fly Zones 

AII No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://ftysafe.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. 

Ttie 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 ori 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 waming message will appear 

in the DJI Pilot app.
