Return-to-Home (RTH) and Dynamic Home Point 

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There 

are three events that will trigger RTH procedure: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

Smart RTH 

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (see RTH Button on P35 for more details) or the RTH 

button in the DJI GO app when GPS is available to enable Smart RTH. With Smart RTH, you may 

control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision when it is returning to the Home Point. Press the 

Smart RTH button once to start the RTH procedure, tlien press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain control of the aircraft. 

Low Battery RTH 

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point which may 

affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to fly back or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shown. The DJI GO app will advise users to return the aircraft to the Home 

Point when the low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point 

if no action is taken after 10 seconds. User can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing on the Rl'H 

button once. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current 

aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. 

The aircraft will land automatically (cannot be canceled) if the current battery level can only support 

the aircraft to land to the ground from its current position. Users can use the remote controller to 

control the aircraft's movement during the landing process. 

The figure below describes the behavior of the Battery Level Indicator during different stages of 

events.

Once pre-flight preparation is complete. it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to 

fly safely. Ensure rat all flights are carried out in an open area. 

1. Do not use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions including raining, snowing, fog, and wind 

speeds exceeding 10 m/s. 

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the compass 

and the GPS signal. 

3. Avoid flying near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines. trees and bodies of water. 

4. Avoid flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations and 

radio transmission towers. 

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

temperature. Be very careful when flying over 14700 feet (4500 meters) above sea level as the 

battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

6. The M100 cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth's polar regions. 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. 

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory 

organizations such as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), the FAA and their local 

aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users use this 

product safely and legally. 

When ope!ating in P-Mode, the height limit, distance limit and No Fly Zones work together to monitor 

flight. In A-iylode, only the height limit prevents the aircraft from going above 120 meters. 

Maximum Height and Radius Limits 

Users can change the maximum height and radius limits in the DJI GO app. Once complete, your 

M100 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the 

details of these limits.

afterwards, it will fly back within range automatically. 

No AyZones 

All No Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No Fly Zones are 

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields 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: 

Airports (requires GPS): 

Airport No Fly Zones are comprised of a no fly zone and an altitude-restricted zone. Each type of 

zone encompasses a radius of a certain size. 

2. R1 miles around the airport (depending on its shape and size) encompasses the no fly zone, inside 

of which takeoff and flight are prohibited. 

54 

'• 
DJI MA TRICE 100 User Manual 

3. From R1 to R1+1 miles around the airport, the flight altitude is limited at a 15 degree incline. 

starting at 66 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outwards. The flight 

altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+ 1 miles. 

4. When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of a no fly zone, a warning message will 

appear in the DJI GO app. 

Restricted Areas (requires GPS): 

1+-Restricted Areas -1 

1. Restricted Areas do not have an altitude-restricted zone. 

2. R miles around the Restricted Area (depending on the regulation) is a no fly zone, inside of whi9h 

takeoff and flight are prohibited. 

3. A Warning Zone is set on the perimeter of the Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.062 

miles (100 m) of the no fly zone (inside the Warning Zone), a warning message will appear in the 

DJI GOapp.
