# Aircraft
This chapter describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

# Aircraft

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJl flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorderstores crucial flight datafor each flight

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P modeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There arethree differentstates of P mode,whichwill be automaticallyselected bythe Inspire 1dependingon GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTl: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-A Til: Neither GPS orVision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lostand ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about lOG, referto the lOG in Appendix.

:\.): Usethe Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27for more information.

The INSPIRE 1comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown inthe figure below:

### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJl Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that mayaffectthe safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on th8 current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraftto land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process.
The Battery Level Indicatoris displayed in the DJI Pilotapp, and is described below

OJ! Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of OJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocularcamera.

# (~. [2]

# ~ [1] Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right 2. Place the Inspire 1on aflat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

cannot work properlyon surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Poweron the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light,

which indicatesthe Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up 

### to liftoff, and the Inspire 1wi!! hover in place. 

## & The performance of your Inspire 1 's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonicwaves may not be able to accurately measurethe distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "g mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are notavailable. So operate the aircraft cautiouslywhen in anyofthe following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Rying at high speeds(over8m/s at2 meters orover 4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically

. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thickcarpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying oversurfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft

. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

## {ft • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affectthe effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of40 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) in fast speed. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensoremits high frequency sound that is only audibleto some animals.

Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data through the OJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and otherparameters.
