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 OJI 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 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Three tllght modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in Ille section below: 

?. P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are lhree different states of P 

~ mode, which will be automatically selected by Ille Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strenglh and Vision 

= Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and Ille aircraft is using GPS for posrrioning. 

P~OPTI: Vision Positioning Is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

PwATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Atti'1Jde): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding posttion. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. tt It is stilt receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automaticaJly 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in lhls mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to Ille IOC in Appendix. 

~ Use the Flight Controller rrode switch to change the flight mode of 1he aircraft refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

The INSPIRE 1 comes wilh the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEDs are shown in the figure below:

Home Point 

Smart RTH 

The Home Point is 1he location at which your aircraft takes off 'Nhen the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( 1',nll ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setllng, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Stal!Js lndicalllr blinks green. 

Using lhe RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH butllln" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH butllln in the DJ! Piiot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return Ill the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH butllln once Ill start lhe process, press the Smart RTH button again Ill exit

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 re1um home or land the aircraft imrnedlatety 

when these warnings are shown. OJI 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 1he RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automaticaJly determined based on the current aircraft altitude and lts 

distance from the Home Point. 

Aircraft will land auromatioally ff the current battery level can only support the ai'craft to kmd to the ground 

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the

Low Temperature Notice: 

1. The performance of the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when flying In a low 

temperature environments (those with air temperatures below 5°C). Ensure that the battery is fully 

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.35 V before each flight. 

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature environments (those with air 

temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying In environments with temperatures 

belWeen 5'C and. 10'C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriate voltage 

levels (above 4.2 V), but It is recommended that you apply the Included insulation sticker to the battery 

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures. 

3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warning" when flying in low temperature 

envronments, stop flying and land the aircraft Immediately. You will still be able to control the aircralt's 

movement when this waming is triggered. 

4, Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature 

exeeeds 5°C before using It In the low temperature environment.

safely. EnSt.re that all flights are carried oiJI In a sulla.ble rocatlon. 

1. Do not use 1he aircraft in severe weather conditions. These irclude wind speed exceeding 1om/s , 

snow, rain and Sfl'I09, 

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

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, CRM!ds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize eleciromagne!J.c interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

Including mctine phone base statioos or radio transmission towers. 

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

Be very carolul when ftyin:g 14700 feet (4SOO m."lters) or rrore above S(')8 level as haltfl!Y and aircraft

No-Fly Zones 

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the OJI official website at http:f/flysafe.dji.corrv'no-fty. No-Ry Zones are 

dMdect Into Aitports and Restricted Areas. Airports Include major airports anc! flying fields where manned 

aircraft op,;it"&te at low alt1tudes. Restricted Areas Include borders between courrtlies or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No-Fly Zonei; .;ire explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Ry Zones are comprised of Takeoff Re&rict.ed Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

ZOila features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and Is <'Il1 area arou'ld the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, Inside otwhich take-off and flight Is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to A1+ 1 nile arouid the airport, the flight altttude is IIITited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 foot (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radlating outward. Toe trrght altitude is limlted 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 rnesi,ago will appear 

iri the OJI PilOt app.

Restricted Areas: 

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

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

this zone. The value of R varies deperdng on the definltian Of the Restricted Area. 

(3) A ''wami~ zone" has been set around each Restricted Arna. When tho aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1
