# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJI 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 flightdatafor each flight.



## Flight Mode Threeflight modes are available. The details of each flight modeare found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : Pmodeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P rnode, which will be automatically selected bythe Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATII: 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 a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lostand ifthe Horne Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For rnore information about IOC, refertothe IOC in Appendix.

:\;): Use the Flight Controller modeswitch to changethe flight rnode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight ModeSwitch" on P27 for more information. 

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

## Return to Home (RTH) The Return to Home (RTH) bringsthe aircraft backtothe last recorded Home Point. There are three cases thatwill trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH.
GPS

Home Point

Smart RTH Description The Home Point is the location atwhichyouraircrafttakes offwhenthe GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon ( 

### ;>!. 1u!i ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Home Pointwill be updatedtoyour current position asyou move around andwhen the AircraftStatus Indicator blinks green.
Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.



### 13 )>INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJilntelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a pointthat may affectthe safe return of the 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 10seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distancefrom the Home Point. Aircraft will land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraftto landto 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 indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilotapp, and is described below

## Vision Positioning.System DJI 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 DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

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.

### 1 User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Togglethe switch to "P" as shown lhefigure tothe right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that lhe Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without patternvariations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to liftoff, and the Inspire 1will hoverin place. 

# & The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not beableto accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraftcautiouslywhen in anyofthe following situations: • Flying over monochromesurfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over Sm/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changesfrequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux 

### < 1 0) or bright (lux 

### > 1 0,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfacesthat can absorbsoundwaves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying oversurfaceswithoutclear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsoundwaves away from 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. 

# :¢: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequencyof40 KHzwhen 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 sensor emits high frequency soundthat is only audibleto some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the SO card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only OJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that allflights are carried out in asuitable location.



## Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 1 Om/s , snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compassand GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, highvoltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radiotransmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmentfactor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance maybe reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operatewithin the polar areas in "P" mode.



## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details ofthese flight 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 flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. Theflight limitsfunction includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work andflights cannot go higherthan 120 meters.
