### 45Flight 

# Flight
Once pre-fight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the fight simulator to learn how to fy safely. Ensure that all fights are carried out in a suitable lo cation. 

## 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 fy 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, tre es 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 fying 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. 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these fight 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 fight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The fight limits function includes height limits, dist ance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage fight. In A mode only height limits work and fights cannot go higher than 1 20 meters. 

### Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit fying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fy in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

Max Height Max Radius

Home Point Height of aircraft when powered on

### 46 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.Flight INSPIRE 1 User Manual

GPS Signal Weak Blinking Yellow Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator Max Height Flight height restricted to 120m and under. Warning: Height limit reached. None.
Max Radius No limits

If you fy out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1, but cannot fy it further. If the Inspire 1 fies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fy back within range automatically.


### No-Fly Zones All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI offcial website at http://fysafe.dji.com/no-fy. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and fying felds 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 fight is prevente d. (3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the fight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The fight 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 Pilot app. GPS Signal Strong Blinking Green Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator Max Height Flight altitude must be under the set height. Warning: Height limit reached. None.

Max Radius Flight distance must be within the max radius. Warning: Distance limit reached. Rapid red fashing when close to the max radius limit.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 47Flight INSPIRE 1 User Manual

Restricted Areas: (1) Restricted Areas do not have a fight 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 defnition 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 Pilo t app.

Warning: You are in a restricted zone. Descending to safe altitude. (If you are between the range of 1.5 mile and 5 mile radius) Warning: You are in a restricted zone. Max fight height restricted to between 10.5m and 120m. Fly Cautiously. Warning zone No fight restriction applies, but there will be warning message. Warning: You are approaching a restricted zone, Fly Cautiously. Free zone No restrictions. None. None.

Semi-automatic descent: All stick commands are available except the throttle stick command during the descent and landing process. Motors will stop automatically after landing.

When fying in the safety zone, aircraft status indicator will blink red quickly and continue for 3 seconds, then switch to indicate current fying status and continue for 5 seconds at which point it will switch back to red blinking. For safety reasons, please do not fy close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers and other special areas. Try to ensure the aircraft is visible.© 2015 DJI.

### 49Flight INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

## Prefight Checklist
1. Remote controller, aircraft battery, and mobile device are full y charged. 2. Propellers are mounted correctly and frmly. 3. Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary. 4. Gimbal is functioning as normal. 5. Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 6. DJI Pilot app connected to the aircraft. 

## 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 fight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required fo r optimum performance.
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements unde rground. 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-fight

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 th e on-screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a

solid green light.

### 50 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.Flight INSPIRE 1 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 fight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass.



### When to Recalibrate 1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicato r is blinking red and yellow. 2. When fying in a new location, or a location that is different f rom your last fight. 3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the

compass. 4. When severe drifting occurs in fight, i.e. the Inspire 1 does n ot fy 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. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter “Camera” page. 2. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 3. Go through the pre-fight checklist. 4. Tap“ ”, and confrm fight condition. Slide to confrm and take-off. 5. Aircraft takes off and hovers at 1.5 meters above ground.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 51Flight INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Auto-Landing Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto-landing: 1. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 2. Check the landing area condition before tapping “ ”, to perform landing. 3. Aircraft lowers the landing gear and proceed to land automatically.
Landing gear will automatically raise when the aircraft reaches an altitude of 1.2m for the frst time, and automatically lower every time it descends to 0.8m. U sers can turn this feature ON/OFF in the Pilot app. 

## Starting/Stopping the Motors Starting Motors The Combination Stick Command (CSC) listed below are used to start the motors instead of simply push

ing the stick up. Ensure that you perform the CSC in one motion.



## Flight Test Take off/Landing Procedures 1. Place the aircraft on open, fat 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 Pilot 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 fy

now. If it fashes 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 has landed, push the throttle down , then conduct CSC . Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3 seconds.

Do not perform CSC when aircraft is in midair, otherwise the motors will be stopped
