### 1**1**Aircraft 

# 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: Fa ilsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Po int. 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. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending 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 Po sitioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P

-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for 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 barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Re mote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Po int has been recorded successfully

. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” 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 LEDs are shown in the figure 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.

[2]
[1] Using Vision Positioning Vision Po sitioning 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 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.



### 1**6** © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.Aircraft INSPIRE 1 User Manual 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 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in gr een light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready

. Gently push the throttle up to lift off , and the Inspire 1 will hover in 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 be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function corr ectly in suboptimal envir onments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically

. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves 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 of the sensors. The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may not function properly when 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 100lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 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. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

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

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI 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. To attach the propellers properly , © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely

. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

## 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 fly in open areas. Ta ll 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, trees or bodies of water
. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone ba se 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 flying 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 flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UA V) 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

. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

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

## Calibrating the Compass IMPOR TANT: 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 flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. DO NO T 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 NO T calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

### Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap “MODE” in the app and select “Compass Calibration” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on -screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a solid green light.
