Re: Request for Exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R. 

Robert Hal Youens, "Youens Studios." 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform 

Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11. Robert Hal Youens, an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems 

("UAs") 

Seeks to file a petition for exemption for the purposes of aerial videography and aerial 

cinematography. Specifically, petitioner seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations 

("FARs") listed in Appendices A and B to allow commercial operation of its UAs, so long as such 

operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by 

the FAA in a grant of this petition. This request is substantially similar to other data collection petitions 

previously approved, and should be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure. 

Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow commercial operation of the DJI 

Phantom 2 +in Class G airspace nationwide unless otherwise prescribed by an Air Traffic 
Organization (ATO) issued COA. This UA has been previously approved for commercial 

operations in Exemption Nos. 11204, 11224, 11254, 11279, 11280, 11288, 11295, 11301, 11303, 

11313,11314,11318,11323,11327,11336,11342,11359,11377,11384, 11385,and 11394.The 

UA covered by this petition is a small battery-powered craft, weighing approximately 6.5 lbs., 

inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UA under the strict conditions proposed below 

will provide an equivalent level of safety, as Congress intended, while still allowing commercii)! 

operations. Operations using these UAs are far safer than conventional operations conducted with 

helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, carry highly flammable fuel, 

and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, infrastructure, and people. 

Congress directed the FAA to consider seven factors in deciding whether to approve 

Section 333 exemption petitions- size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, 

proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight. In this case, each factor 

supports the exemption request. In particular, the UA is small, and will operate at slow speeds and 

close to the ground. It will be able to more safely and efficiently conduct operations versus a larger air 

craft.

I. Publishable Summary 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11, the following summary is provided for publication in the 

Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: 

Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules: 

14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 

C.F.R. 45.29; 14 C.F.R. 61.23(a) and (c); 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4) and (5); 14 C.F.R. 

61.113(a); 14 C.F.R. 61.31S(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 

91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 

91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.119 (c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 

91.203(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 

91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) to operate 
commercially small unmanned aircraft systems (UAs) (6.5 lbs. or less). 

Approval of the exemption requested by petitioner will allow commercial operation of 

the DJI Phantom 2 + for the purpose of aerial cinematography in Class G airspace 

nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an A TO-issued COA. The requested 

exemption should be granted because operation of a small UA weighing approximately 

6.5 lbs. (2.9 kg.), inclusive of battery and payload, conducted in the strict conditions 

outlined below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing 

commercial operations. The lightweight aircraft covered by the exemption are far safer 

than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft 

weighing thousands of pounds and carrying highly flammable fuel, and operating in 

close proximity to the ground and people. The seven factors Congress directed the FAA 

to consider when approving Section 333 exemption petitions- size, weight, speed, 

operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and 

operation within visual line of sight- each support the request. In particular, the aircraft 

are small, and will operate at slow speeds, and close to the ground. The substantial 

increase of safety and decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk use of 

UAs to conduct these operations, weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption.

Ill. Proposed Operations 

A. The UAs 

The requested exemption will permit petitioner to operate the Phantom 2 +.The Phantom 2 + 
has been previously approved for commercial operation in Exemption Nos. 11204, 11224, 11254, 

11279,11280,11288,11295,11301,11303,11313,11314,11318,11323,11327,11336,11342, 

11359, 11377, 11384, 11385, and 11394. 

This petition, along with Exhibits 1-9 which include the supporting documentation of the 

UA, are hereinafter referred to as the "operating documents." The specific conditions of the 

proposed exemption that relate to the characteristics of the UAs are numbers 1, 5, and 16-20 in 

Section VI below. Each has been adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of 

Section 333 exemption petitions. The Phantom 2 + has the ability to hover and move in the vertical 

and horizontal planes simultaneously. 

The Phantom 2 + has the following specifications or equivalent: 

Airframe Phantom 2 +Control system: internal to the Phantom 2 +.This includes the main controller 

(MC), which receives 

the battery voltage, capacity, and current, the internal measurement unit (IMU), which receives 

telemetry data, compass, and GPS. 

Maximum speed: 43 knots 

Weight, inclusive of battery and technical payload: 6.5 lbs. (2.9 kg.) 

Transmitter (Tx): DJI Phantom 2 + Remote Control 

Receiver (Rx): internal to the control system 

Motors: DJI 3510 

Propellers: 13" x 4 

Combined data and video link: HD Lightbridge 

Gimbal: Zenmuse X3 

Batteries: Lithium Polymer 6S High voltage battery with 4500-5700 mAh capacity 

Telemetry display: DJI Pilot App 

Automatic return to home procedure: lfTx signal is lost for more than three seconds and the UA 

is under 65ft. (20m.) AGL, the UA will rise to 65ft. AGL, travel horizontally to the predesignated 

home spot, hover for 15 seconds, then land. If the UA is above 65ft. AGL, travel 
horizontally to the pre-designated home spot, hover for 15 seconds, then land. 

B. The Crew 

The crew will consist of a pilot in command (PIC) and a visual observer (VO). The PIC 

and VO will have been trained in operation of UAs generally and received up-to-date information 

on the UA to be operated pursuant to this grant. The PIC will receive Phantom 2 +specific training to 

ensure proficiency on the platform. The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to 

the 

training and characteristics of the crew are numbers 3 and 6-9 in Section V below. Each has been 

adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions. 

7 

C. Flight Conditions 

The UA will be used for aerial cinematography in Class G airspace (unless otherwise 

prescribed by an A TO-issued COA) under 200 feet above ground level ("AGL") and under 

controlled conditions over restricted property. Petitioner will work with the local FSDO when 

planning operations. Petitioner will only operate its UA in visual meteorological conditions 

(VMC). The UA will at all times be no less than 500 feet below and no less than 2,000 feet 

horizontally from a cloud, and petitioner will not conduct operations unless visibility is at least 3 

statute miles from the PIC. The flight crew will always make a safety assessment of the risk of 

every operation, and will only operate when it is determined that no hazards are present. 

Additionally, petitioner will follow DJI's guidelines for flight conditions. These are found 

in Exhibit 2, beginning on page 45 of that document. 

The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to the flight conditions in 

which the UA will be operated are numbers 2, 4, 16, and 28-29 in Section V below. Each has been 

adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions. 

D. Flight Operations 

The purpose of the UA flights for which exemption is requested will be for aerial 

Aerial videography and aerial cinematography. Every UA flight will use at minimum a two person 
flight crew: a PIC and a VO.Petitioner will limit flights to 200ft. AGL, and requests the FAA to allow it 

to 

operate no closer than 175ft. from nonparticipating individuals when operating at or below 65ft. 

AGL. 

Petitioner will be able to maintain the safety of nonparticipants while decreasing the 

nonparticipant parameter, by applying the same ratio the FAA has previously determined to be safe. 

Petitioner anticipates that every flight, even one that is planned to be at 30ft. AGL, may 

rise to 65 ft. AGL if the automatic return-to-home program is activated. 

Petitioner has selected the 175ft. "nonparticipant parameter" by looking at the FAA's 

"safety ratio" for previous Section 333 approvals. Under the new "blanket 200ft. COA'' procedure, 

an approved operator may operate their UA up to 200ft. AGL while keeping nonparticipants 500 

ft. away from operations, giving the following ratio: 

Nonparticipant parameter 

Maximum height AGL =Safety Ratio 

500ft. 

200ft.= 2.5 

By multiplying the maximum height AGL of an operation by 2.5, petitioner will maintain 

this same "safety ratio" previously approved by the FAA. For example, if an operation will have 

a maximum AGL of 100ft., petitioner will require nonparticipants to remain at least 250ft. from 

the operational area. 

For operations that will take place at or below 65ft. AGL, application of the "safety ratio". 

would require nonparticipants to remain at least 162.5 ft. from the operational area. In an 

abundance of caution, petitioner will increase this distance an additional12.5 ft. to maintain a 175 

ft. perimeter from the operational area. Regardless of this minimum, petitioner will require a 

greater perimeter should it determine one is necessary for a given operation. 

Before conducting an operation, the flight crew will examine the operational area to 

identify at least two potential safe emergency landing areas, should nonparticipating individuals 

enter into the flight area. 

Additionally, petitioner will follow DJI's guidelines for flight operations, including DJI's 

preflight checklist. Please refer to the following exhibits: 

Exhibit 2 beginning on page 49 of that document 
Exhibit 3 

Petitioner will follow DJI's maintenance guidelines found in Exhibit 6. Only individuals 

who have experience and training on the Phantom 2 +system will be approved to conduct inspection 

and maintenance. If it is determined that the UA requires more specific maintenance than can be 

conducted in-house, petitioner will send the UA to the manufacturer or manufacturer-certified 

repair center to be repaired. 

The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to flight operations are 

numbers 11-12, 17-25, and 32-35 in Section V below. Each has been accepted or imposed by the 

FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions. 

IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety 

Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that 

operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a level of safety at least 

equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft operations under the current regulatory structure. 

Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petitioner agrees to be bound 

when conducting commercial operations under a grant of this petition. Appendix A contains a 

matrix connecting (i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it 

provides equivalent level of safety and (iii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants in 

which the FAA recognized this equivalent level of safety. 

Approval of the commercial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security 

issue. Petitioner is willing to require its PICs to undergo a background check, including the 

proposed Transportation Security Administration Vetting process, to ensure that no national 

security threat is present. Operation and Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft, 80 Fed. Reg. 

9543 at 9572 (proposed Feb. 23, 2015 (to be codified at 14 C.F.R. Parts 21, 43, 45, et al.). 

V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption 

1. The UAs, including battery and technical payload will weigh no more than approximately 6.5 

lbs. (2.9 kg.). 

2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose 

of utility and infrastructure inspections in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise 
prescribed by an ATO issued COA. 

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a PIC and VO. 

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 200 feet AGL, as indicated by the 

procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet 

AGL. 

5. The UA will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 43 knots. 

6. Minimum flight crew for each operation will consist of the UA PIC and aVO. 

7. The PIC will have completed UA-specific training provided by the manufacturer prior to 

commercial operations. 

8. The petitioner will not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC meets its qualification criteria 

and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UA in a manner consistent with how the UA 

will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and 

maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC 

qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

§61.51(b). A record of the PIC training will be documented and made available upon request 

by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training 

sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential 

for flight operations will be considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UA with 

appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 

9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding 

other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to 

operate the camera or other instruments. 

10. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her 

designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the 

functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents. 

11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day's 

activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties in connection 

with the operations be present for this briefing. 

12. Prior to each flight, the PIC will inspect the UA, including the Ground Control Station, to 

ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the 
safe operation of the UA, the PIC will not operate the UA until the necessary maintenance has 

been performed and the UA is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance and 

alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft records. 

13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenance or 

alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight 

critical component. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the 

aircraft records. 

14. The petitioner will carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in 

accordance with the UA manufacturer's aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, 

replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. 

Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will 

be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work 

accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The 

authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against 

discrepancies discovered between inspections. 

15. The UA will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. 

This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than 

corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate verbally. They will not 

be permitted to use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations. 

16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there 

is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and prepare to 

land with at least 25% battery power remaining. 

17. Actual total flight time for each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery 

reserve. 

18. The UA will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unexpected obstacles or 

emergencies. 

19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will 

return to a pre-determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered 

in accordance with the operating documents 

20. If the UA and its radio control link disconnect during flight, the system's failsafe protection 
will be triggered and the multi rotor will return to home and land automatically, rather than 

flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location. 

21. The operating documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and 

available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time the UA is operating. 

These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official 

upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemption 

grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the grant conditions and 

limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petitioner will follow the 

procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or revises its operating documents, 

it will present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. If the 

petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA 

granted the exemption, then the Petitioner will petition for an amendment to the grant of 

exemption. 

22. Petitioner will obtain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of 

the landowners over which flights will be conducted. 

23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city 

jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 

24. UA operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations 

will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions {VMC). Flights will not be 

conducted under special visual flight rules {SVFR). 

25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization {ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization {COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. 

Petitioner will request a Notice to Airman {NOT AM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but 

not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance 

with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, and altitude 

level. 

26. The UA will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of tower-controlled airport reference point 

as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with 

that airport's management has been obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance 

with a NOT AM as required by the operator's COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport 
management will be made available to the Administrator upon request. 

27. The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, 

a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 

28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO 

issued COA. 

29. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number, 

registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N-Number) markings 

in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large as practicable. 

30. Before conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used 

for operation and control of the UA complies with the Federal Communications Commission 

(FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 

31. The UA will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and 

activities at all times. 

32. The UA will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 

33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 175 feet from all nonparticipating persons, 

vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met: 

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the 

UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that 

nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where 

nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 175 feet of the UA, the PIC 

will ensure that flight operations cease immediately. 

b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of 

such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety 

assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not 

present an undue hazard. 

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an 

undue hazard to those persons per§ 91.119(a). 

34. Petitioner will report any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or 

vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UAS 

Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the National 
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: 

www.ntsb.gov. 

VI. Privacy 

There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy. All flights 

will occur over either (a) public rights of way where there is no expectation of privacy; or (b) over 

private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and consent of participating 

individuals. 

If data collected is made available for public view, all images containing uninvolved 

persons will be blurred or blacked-out. No attempt will be made to identify any individuals filmed 

during the flights except in cases where they are trespassing upon or damaging customer property, 

or interfering with the petitioner's or its customers' operations. 

VII. Public Interest and Safety 

The planned UA use will increase ground safety for aerial Real Estate and aerial Videography 

operations. This type of data collection has previously been done by manned aircraft or by individuals 

on 

the ground. Both are more time consuming and are more expensive than using a UA. Use of manned 

aircraft poses enhanced risk to the pilot and onboard crew, who would be several hundred feet in 

the air. Additionally, manned aircraft carry highly flammable fuel. 

The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using a UA and carrying 

no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying 

crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UA operation 

enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. 

Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012- size, 

weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation 

within visual line of sight and national security- provide more than adequate justification for the 

grant of the requested exemption allowing commercial operation of petitioner's UA in the utility 

and infrastructure inspection industries, pursuant to Youens's rules of operation. 
The FAA has previously approved similar commercial operations in the 

following Exemptions: 

11279 (aerial photography); 

11288 (aerial photography); 

11313 (aerial cinematography and photography); 

11359 (photography); 

11336 (aerial photography); 

11377 (aerial videography and cinematography); and 

11385 (aerial videography and cinematography).

Appendix B: Youens's argument for exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 

61.101(e)(4) and (5L 61.113(a), 61.315(a). 

Youens requests an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 

61.113(a), 61.315(aL so that the PIC of the UA will not be required to possess any pilot license 

(sports, recreational, private or commercial). As the FAA and numerous other national airspace 

regulators have recognized, UA operations conducted by persons who do not hold a pilot's license 

can still achieve the equivalent level of safety of current operations by manned aircraft with pilots 

holding any level of pilot's license. 

Although it recognizes that a pilot's license is unnecessary for safe UA operation, the FAA 
has to date declined to allow grant exemptions under Section 333 that would permit individuals 

who possess any pilot license (sports, recreational, private or commercial) to conduct commercial 

UA operations. It has specified two reasons for declining to do so. First, it has stated that it does 

not possess the authority under Section 333 to exempt individuals from the requirement under 49 

U.S.C. §44711 to hold an airman certificate authorizing the airman to serve in the capacity for 

which the certificate was issued. Exemption No. 11110 at 14. Second, the FAA has concluded that 

the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) security screening required of all certified airmen 

meets the statutory requirement in Section 333 that operations not pose a threat to national security. 

Exemption No. 11110 at 15. 

Youens respectfully requests that the FAA reconsider its position. There is no dispute that 

it is unnecessary for an operator of a UA to go through the rigorous process of becoming a certified 

pilot in order to safely operate a UA. In addition, the FAA does have the authority to exempt UA 

operators from the requirement in 49 U.S.C. §44711to hold an airman certificate for "serv[ing] in 

the capacity for which the certificate was issued." Indeed, it has exercised that authority repeatedly 

in the Section 333 process. Finally, the FAA's security concerns can be addressed by a variety of 

methods involving operator background checks to be conducted by government agencies. 

1. The FAA and foreign regulators recognize that obtaining a manned aircraft 

pilot license is unnecessary for safe operation of a UA. 

The FAA, like the other national airspace regulators that have considered the issue, has 

concluded that UA operations conducted by persons who do not hold a pilot's license can still 

achieve the equivalent level of safety of current operations by manned aircraft with pilots holding 

any level of pilot's license. In its recent UAS NPRM, the FAA stated: 

"While these airman certification requirements are necessary for manned aircraft 

operations, they impose an unnecessary burden for many small UAS operations. 

This is because a person typically obtains a private or commercial pilot certificate 

by learning how to operate a manned aircraft. Much of that knowledge would not 

be applicable to small UAS operations because a small UAS is operated differently 

than manned aircraft. In addition, the knowledge currently necessary to obtain a 

private or commercial pilot certificate would not equip the certificate holder with 

the tools necessary to safely operate a small UAS ... Thus, requiring persons 
wishing to operate a small UAS to obtain a private or commercial pilot certificate 

imposes the cost of certification on those persons, but does not result in a significant 

safety benefit because the process of obtaining the certificate does not equip those 

persons with the tools necessary to mitigate the public risk posed by small UAS 

operations." Operation and Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft, 80 Fed. Reg. 

9543 at 9550 (proposed Feb. 23, 2015 (to be codified at 14 C.F.R. Parts 21, 43, 45, 

etal.). 

The FAA's conclusion that manned aircraft flying experience is unnecessary for the 

operation of a UA is supported by research by the FAA and the Army Research Laboratory. They 

demonstrate that UAs, even those much larger than the UAs proposed by petitioner, can be safely 

flown by non-certificated pilots with a small amount of training. For example, one Army Research 

Laboratory study concluded: 

"[T]he specific motor skills needed to control the radio-controlled UAV would have 

to be learned by aviators independently of the motor skills learned in flying an 

aircraft. In particular, the somatic and visual cues that pilots use during aircraft 

landings would not be useful (and perhaps even counter-productive) for the 

different skill sets and perceptual viewpoint necessary for radio-controlled 

landings."! 

Additional research reports lend further support for the exclusion requested. For example, 

a report sponsored by the FAA concluded that "We know that certain systems, like the U.S. Army 

Hunter and Shadow systems, are successfully flown by pilots with no manned aircraft 

experience."2 

In addition, foreign government airspace regulators that have examined the issue have 

consistently recognized that the skills required to fly a manned aircraft are irrelevant to operating 

a UA. For that reason, they have concluded that UA operators do not need to have a private or 

commercial pilot's license. Canada, for example, does not require a pilot's license to operate a 

UA. Transport Canada requires training of UA operators, but that training is limited to pilot ground 

school and flight operation training on UAs, not manned aircraft.3 Moreover, Canada allows this 

training to be "provided by other pilots, manufacturers, [UA] flight training organizations or ... 

self taught." 4

populated areas may change this assessment, indicating further research was needed to address 

this concern, this concern is inapplicable as petitioner's flights will not be in congested areas.

41d. at 14. 

Similarly, the United Kingdom's Civil Aviation Authority {CAA) recognized that 

determining "Remote Pilot qualification requirements on the same basis as manned aircraft may 

yield requirements that are too inflexible, too onerous and inappropriate for UAS operations."S As 

a result, the CAA only requires UA operators to demonstrate UA operator competence.6 While 

there are a variety of ways to demonstrate competence, the most common is to complete a course 

that will lead to a ground exam and flight test. Australia, too, requires only passage of a UA specific 

ground school program in lieu of a manned airman certificate. 7 

Finally, more than a dozen countries, including Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the 

Netherlands, have adopted the National UAS Certificate for Small Unmanned Aircraft (BNUC-S) 

Standard for UA pilot certification.8 This standard results in a type-specific UA certificate and does not 
require the operator to have a pilot's license. The process involves taking a short ground school 

course, 

passing a ground school test and then passing a practical test on commercial operation of the specific 

UA per the UA manufacturer's operations manual. 

All of this experience and evidence indicates that the proposed exemption will provide a 

greater level of safety than operations under 14 C.F.R. §61.113. In this instance, the PICs will have 

gone through training as described above in Section Ill B. This training and education is focused 

on UAs generally, and in particular on the aircraft to be operated, rather than taking additional 

time and risk to train on a manned aircraft, weighing several thousand pounds and carrying highly 

flammable fuel. 

The FAA has concluded in the NPRM that such UA-specific training is more than 

sufficient to provide an equivalent level of safety for UA operations. Sometime in the next 18-24 

months, that position will be enshrined in a valid regulation. However, in the meantime, the FAA 

claims it lacks the authority to relax the requirement to possess a pilot certificate. As we show in 

the next section, that position is both incorrect and contradicted by the FAA's recent decisions. 

2. The FAA does have, and has already, exercised the authority to exempt petitioners 

from the airman certificate requirement. 

The FAA claims that it lacks authority to exempt UA operators from the requirement of 49 

U.S. §44711 to hold an airman certificate authorizing the airman "to serve in the capacity for which 

the certificate was issued." See, e.g., Exemption No. 11110 at 14. This claim is inconsistent with 

both (i) the statutory language of that section and Section 333, and (ii) numerous recent FAA 

decisions. 

The operative part of 49 USC §44711 provides that a "person may not ... serve in any 

capacity as an airman with respect to a civil aircraft, ... used, or intended for use, in air commerce 

-(A) without an airman certificate authorizing the airman to serve in the capacity for which the

certificate was issued ... " If the FAA's interpretation were correct, this language would require 

that any person wishing to operate a UA for commercial operations have an airman certificate 

authorizing the person to serve as an airman in commercial operations. 

However, in all of its recent grants of Section 333 petitions, the FAA has- without 

explicitly acknowledging the fact- exempted commercial UA operators from the §44711(A) 

requirement that they hold an airman certificate authorizing them "to serve in the capacity for 

which the certificate was issued." It has done so by allowing them to operate UA so long as they 

hold a private pilot's or sport pilot's authorization, even though such a certificate does not permit 

commercial operations. Exemption No. 11062 at 15-18; Exemption No. 11110 at 14-16; 

Exemption No. 11191 at 3-5; and Exemption No. 11229 at 3 and 8. 

The FAA argues that it cannot exempt petitioners from the requirements of §44711 

because, while the specific language of Section 333 grants it limited statutory flexibility relative 

to 49 U.S.C. §44704 for the purposes of airworthiness certification, Section 333 does not provide 

flexibility relative to §44711 and other sections of Title 49. Exemption No. 11110 at 14. This 

argument ignores the plain language of Section 333. The relevant language of Section 333 is: 

(a) IN GENERAL-Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and 

not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 

Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate 

safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rulemaking 

required by section 332 of this Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this 

Act. 

(b) ASSESSMENT OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS.-In making the 

determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum-

(1) which types of unmanned aircraft systems, if any, as a result of their size, 

weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and 
operation within visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users of the national 

airspace system or the public or pose a threat to national security; and 

(2) whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness 

certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the 

operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1). 

(c) REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION.-Ifthe Secretary determines 

under this section that certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the 

national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe 

operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system. 

The language of Section 333(b) is permissive: it requires that the Secretary "determine, at 

a minimum ... whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness 

certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of 

unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1)." Nothing in (b) precludes the Secretary 

from determining whether or not a pilot's license is required for operation of a UA identified under 

paragraph (b)(1). 

20 

Indeed, the FAA has implicitly conceded the point by granting exemptions from the 

requirement that commercial UA operators hold a commercial pilot certificate. From an analytical 

standpoint, there is no difference between granting an exemption from the commercial pilot's 

license requirement and granting an exemption from the private or sport pilot's license 

requirement. Both are clearly exemptions from a specific statutory requirement in 49 U.S.C. 

§44711. If the FAA has the statutory authority under Section 333(b) to do the former, it has the 

same authority to do the latter.9 

9 The FAA has not specifically identified the statutory provision that underpins its authority to 

grant the exemptions from the commercial pilot's license requirement. Whether the statutory basis 

is Section 333 or some other provision makes no difference. If there is a basis for a partial 

exemption from in 49 U.S.C. § 44711, that basis also justifies an exemption from the entire 

provision.

Experienced users, 

particularly those who have previously used DJI products, may choose to skip to the Phantom 2 + 

Quick Start 

Guide to begin preparing for flight. 

Individual Parts 

Remote Controller 

1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote 

controller. 

Refer to the user manual for more information about how to link the aircraft. 

2. If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. 

After 10 

minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the 

alert. 

3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft's flight. 

You may 

change it to a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link it to the aircraft to control 

flight. 

4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does not slip. 

5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be 

accurate, 

ensure the DJIIogo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller away from any metal objects. 

6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will 

greatly 

decrease performance. 

7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft's Intelligent Flight Battery. 
Camera 

1. Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the Intelligent Flight Battery is 

powered off. 

2. Be sure to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will 

not be saved 

and any recorded videos may be damaged. 

3. Test the camera by shooting a few test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting 

important 

pictures. 

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy 

laws, regulations 

and moral standards. 

5. Check camera settings before use to make sure you can adjust them to fit your needs. 

Gimbal 

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal 

connector, as any damage will cause it to function abnormally. 

2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects 

obstruct 

the gimbal's full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. 

Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protect the gimbal after powering up. 

3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop. 

4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or 

even 

2 © 2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

EN 

22 

lead to motor damage. 

5. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact, which will cause the 

gimbal 

to function abnormally. 

Compass 

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight 
performance or even failure. 

2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This 

includes areas 

where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or 

under bridges. 

3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones. 

4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces. 

5. If the rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate. 

6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the 

ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to 

another 

location and try again. 

Parameter Settings 

The Phantom 2 +features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. 

However, it is good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing 

other parameter settings. 

Battery 

Refer to the Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines and battery sticker for usage and maintenance 

information. 

Storage and Transportation 

1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct 

sunlight, 

to ensure the built-in liPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 

2rc and 28°C for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside 

the 

temperature range of -20°C to 45°C. 

2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. 

If it 

gets wet, wipe dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may 

cause 

permanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other 

flammable substances to clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dusty 

areas. 
3. Always keep all parts out of the reach of children, as the cables, straps or small parts may be 

dangerous 

if swallowed. If swallowed, go to the hospital immediately. 

4. Detach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over 

long 

distances. Also replace the Gimbal Cover when storing. 

Maintenance and Upkeep 

1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, 

please 

contact a DJI authorized dealer. 

2. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used. 

3. Regularly check the Battery Level Indicators to see the current battery level and overall battery life. 

When 

the battery life reaches 0%, it can no longer be used. 

4. After every 50 hours of flight time, DJI recommends you perform a thorough inspection of your 

Inspire 1 

and all of its parts and components to ensure the safe operation of your aircraft.

Flight Environment Requirements 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding lOm/s, 

snow, 

rain, smog, heavy wind, hail, lightning, tornado or hurricane. 

2. Do not use the aircraft in dust or sandstorms. 

3. Fly in open areas, as tall buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard 

compass 

and block the GPS signal. 

4. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, people, animals, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies 

of 

water when in flight. 

5. Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to turn 

off the 
Wi-Fi on your mobile device . 

. 6. Do not fly near areas with magnetic or radio interference. These include but are not limited to: high 

voltage lines, large scale power transmission stations, mobile base stations and broadcasting towers. 

Failing to do so may compromise the transmission quality of this product, cause remote controller and 

video transmission errors may affect flight orientation and location accuracy. The aircraft may behave 

abnormally or fall out of control in areas with too much interference. 

7. P mode is unavail~ble in polar zones. Users can use A TTl mode instead. 

8. Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Flight Warnings 

Failsafe and Return to Home 

1. Return to Home will not work if the GPS signal is insufficient or GPS is not active. 

2. Press the RTH Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead 

of 

turning off the remote controller. 

3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude 

and 

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 

4. Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller. 

5. When updating the Home Point, do not block the GPS signal of the remote controller and ensure 

the new 

Home Point is correct on the live map. 

6. Do not update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an 

incorrect 

location being stored. 

7. Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected 

by 

the weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields. 

Low Battery 

1. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending 

automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more 

appropriate location for landing. 

2. When battery warnings are triggered, please bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to 

avoid 
losing power during flight. 

Vision Positioning System 

1. The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have pattern 

variations. 

The effective altitude for Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 2.5 meters. 

2. Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

3. Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize patterns on the ground in low light 

conditions (less 

than 100 lux). 

4. Keep your pets away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar 

sensors 

emit high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 

5. Note that Visual Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast or 

too low.

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capac1ty. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep tt in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges- (40%-50%}-0%--100%-(40%-50%). 

(4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recl1arge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged in any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more infom1ation, please see lhe Disclaimer. 

::\): Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on,

6 Preparing the Range Extender 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and otl1er sources of the same irequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details oi which are printed on the label as 

"Phantom_XXXXXX'. The ')()(){)()()(' represents the last 6letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide 

to prepare tor more complex flight maneuvers and leam to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable 

location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

(1) Do not use tl1e aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Ay in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on board compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines. trees or bodies of water when in flight. 

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulat1ons.

1 Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight locat1on. The compass is very sensitive to 

electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, 

parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

1.1 Calibration Procedures

1.2 When to Recalibrate 

(1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. 

(2) Aying in different location to last flight. 

(3) Mechanical structure oi the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. 

(4) Severe drifting occurs 1n flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the 

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There are two methods to stop the motors. 

Figu•e 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom 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. Motors wiD stop after 3 seconds. 

,.j 

Figure 50 Figure 51 

0 Do not execute esc during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. 

:IJ: • Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. 

• Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push 

the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

3 Flight Test 

3.1Take off/Landing Procedures 

(1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 

(2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smat1 Flight Battery. 

(3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. 

(4) Wait until the Rear LED Right Indicator blinks green. This means~ has initialized and is Ready to Ay. If it flashes yellow, 

it is in Ready to Ay (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. 

(5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. 

(6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. 

(7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. 

(8) After landing, execute the esc command or hold t11e throttle at tis lowest posit1on for 3 seconds or more until the 

motors stop. 

(9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller. 

26 
Flight 

Lh • When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinKing red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.corn/phantom2visionplusjtraining. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

(1) Work through the check list before each !light. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. 

(3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 

(5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

4 Failsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

EI§ Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded hOme point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic hOme point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data serv1ce to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Controller is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will resuhs in different landing processes. 

Ready to Ay(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Right Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land 

The Right Control System will autornatically co11trol the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

6 Flight Limits 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) 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. The flight limits function includes height, 

distance limits and No Ry Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Ry (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

ffi Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Umits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58) .

• It the Phantom flies out of the max radius in Ready to Ry (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back within range 

automatically_ 

6.2 Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas 

Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http:/,WWW.dji. 

com/fly-safe/categoty-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major 

international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. 

30 
Flight 

Category A Safety Zone 

(1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restricted-altitude zones". Flight 

is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height resttictions in the restricted-altitude zone. 

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. 

(3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 

35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km). 

(4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, a 

warning message will appear on the OJI Vision app. 

Category B Safety Zone 

(1) Category B "safety zone" is comprised of a "no-fly zone" and a "warning zone". 

(2) 0.6 miles (1 km) around the safety zone is a designated "no-fly zone". 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you ily within 0.6 miles (1 Km) of this zone, a warning 

will appear on the OJI Vision app.

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

Appendix 

It the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will tail to start when you execute the 

esc and the Phantom wiU not take off. The below ar,e some possible fixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle tl1e Phantom 2 Vision+ 

to re-record the mid-point 

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Contmller sticks 

through their complete travel range to see it any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

It the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to OJ I Customer service tor repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and 

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you 

are familiar with the procedure tor regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (tile sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video tiles.
