10The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a newflight 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.

Threeflight modes are available. The details of eachflight mode arefound below: P-mode (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 Professional 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 onlythe 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 aircraftonly uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refertothe IOC section inthe Appendix. 

## ~<)= Usethe FlightController mode switch to changetheflight modeofthe aircraft, refertothe "Flight Mode Switch" on Pa_g_e 26for more information.

The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in thefigure below:

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. Refertothetable belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the OJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a pointthat may affectthe safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or landthe aircraft immediately when prompted. The OJI GO 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 forthesewarnings are automatically determined based onthe aircraft's current altitude and distancefrom 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 OJI GO app, and is described below:

The details ofthe No-FlyZones are explained as follow: Airport (1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised ofTake-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each zonefeatures circlesofvarious sizes. (2) R1 miles (value ofthe R1 depends on the size and shape ofthe airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside ofwhich 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.
