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.

Nokia Solutions and Network Holdings, USA, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates Nokia 

Solutions and Networks US LLC, Nokia Networks US SON LLC, Nokia USA Inc., SAC 

Wireless LLC, Eden Rock Services, Inc., NN US SON LLC, SAC Wireless of CA Inc., 

and SAC Design Group, Inc.

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, Antonelli Law files this petition for exemption on behalf of Nokia 

Solutions and Network Holdings, USA, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates Nokia Solutions 

and Networks US LLC, Nokia Networks US SON LLC, Nokia USA Inc., SAC Wireless LLC, 

Eden Rock Services, Inc., NN US SON LLC, SAC Wireless of CA Inc., and SAC Design Group, 

Inc. (collectively, “Nokia” or “petitioner”), an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems 

(“UAs”) for the commercial purposes of remote aerial inspection of cellular towers, 

telecommunications network planning and optimization, aerial videography, telecommunications 

testing and other technology experimenting. Specifically, petitioner seeks an exemption from the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A 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 dozens of other aerial photography and videography petitions previously approved, and should 

be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure.

Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow operation of the DJI Phantom 2 

Vision+, DJI Phantom 3 and DJI S1000+ for the proposed uses in Class G airspace nationwide, or 

as otherwise prescribed by an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued COA. The UAs covered by 

this petition have been previously approved for the proposed uses in the exemption grants 

identified in Section VII of the petition. The UAs covered by this petition are small batterypowered craft, weighing no more than 55 lbs. (24.9 kg), inclusive of battery and payload. Operation 

of the UAs under the strict conditions proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, 

as Congress intended, while still allowing commercial operations. Operations using these UAs are

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. 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. 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) (55 lbs. (24.9 kg), or less).

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

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3 and DJI S1000+ for the purposes of remote aerial 

inspection of cellular towers, telecommunications network planning and optimization, aerial 

videography, telecommunications testing and other technology experimenting in Class G airspace 

nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO-issued COA. The requested exemption should 

be granted because operation of small UAs weighing no more than 55 lbs. (24.9 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 large amounts of 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.

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 UAs to be operated pursuant to this grant. The PIC will have, at a minimum, a sport pilot 

license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. driver’s license.

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.

For more information regarding the flight crew and training, please refer to Exhibit 3: 

Phantom Training Guide, as well as the following sections of Exhibit 1: Nokia’s Flight Operations 

Manual:

Section 3: Safety Management System (SMS)

Section 4: Flight Training and Certification/Re-Certification

Appendix A: Risk Management Tool

Appendix D: Example Crewmember Log

C. Flight Conditions

The UAs will be used for remote aerial inspection of cellular towers, telecommunications 

network planning and optimization, aerial videography, telecommunications testing and other 

technology experimenting in Class G airspace (unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO-issued 

COA) under 400 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 
10

operate the UAs in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The UAs 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.

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

which the UAs 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 remote aerial 

inspection of cellular towers, telecommunications network planning and optimization, aerial 

videography, telecommunications testing and other technology experimenting. 

Every UA flight will use at minimum a two person flight crew: a PIC and a VO. 

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

numbers 11-12, 17-25, and 32-34 in Section V below. Each has been accepted or imposed by the 

FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions.

Appendix B: Example Aircraft Maintenance Log

Appendix C: Example Aircraft Flight Log

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 an 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. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate. Therefore, he or she will have 

been subject to security screening by the Department of Homeland Security.
11

V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption

1. The UAs, including battery and technical payload, will weigh no more than approximately 55 

lbs. (24.9 kg).

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

of remote aerial inspection of cellular towers, telecommunications network planning and 

optimization, aerial videography, telecommunications testing and other technology 

experimenting 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 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the 

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

AGL.

5. The UAs will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 29 knots (DJI Phantom 2 

Vision+) and 31 knots (DJI Phantom 3 and DJI S1000+).

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

7. The PIC will possess at a minimum sport pilot license and either a third class medical certificate 

or a U.S. driver’s license.

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

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

the UAs 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 UAs 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 performing duties in connection with the 

operations be present for this briefing. 
12

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 are 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 UAs 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 UAs 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 UAs and their radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection 

will be triggered and the UA 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 
13

procedures outlined in its operating documents. If the petitioner 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 (NOTAM) 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, altitude level 

and potential transponder requirements. 

26. The UAs will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of an 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 NOTAM 

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 UAs 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 UAs will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and 

activities at all times. 

32. The UAs will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 
14

33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 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 

UAs 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 500 feet of the UAs, 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.

For more information concerning Nokia’s privacy policy, please refer to Exhibit 1: Nokia’s 

Flight Operations Manual, Section 7: Privacy.

VII. Public Interest and Safety

The planned UA use will increase ground safety for remote aerial inspection of cellular 

towers, telecommunications network planning and optimization, aerial videography, 

telecommunications testing and other technology experimenting. This type of data collection has 

previously been performed by manned aircraft or by individuals on the ground. Both are more time 

consuming and are more expensive than using UAs. Use of manned aircraft also poses enhanced 

risk to the pilot and onboard crew, who would be several hundred feet in the air. 

The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using UAs and carrying 

no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater mass, 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.
15

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

Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings

Flight Modes

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule:

1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with 

the aircraft’s behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land 

the aircraft safely.

P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is 

unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious 

when flying in A mode.

1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states 

of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and 

Vision Positioning sensors:

a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. 

Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over 

water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment.

c) P-ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for 

positioning, so only altitude is controlled.

2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. 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 Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar 

with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the 

prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree 

that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and 

maintained on a DJI designated server.

Failsafe and Return to Home

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

2) Press the RTH (Return to Home) 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) 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.

47
14 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

6) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate 

Failsafe altitude before each flight.

7) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when flying above the surfaces that do 

not have a clear pattern. Refer to the “Vision Positioning System” section for complete indoor flying criteria. 

Low Battery

1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may 

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for 

landing.

2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid 

losing power during flight and causing damage to the aircraft, property, animals, and people.

Vision Positioning System

1) The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do NOT have pattern variations. 

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

ground level (AGL).

2) The Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying over water.

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

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

4) Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT function properly when the aircraft is flying too fast or too 

low.

5) Operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces;

c) Flying at high speeds (over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter);

d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces;

e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects;

 f) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically;

g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces;

h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thick carpet).

 i ) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture;

 j ) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design);

k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft

6) In the event of loss of the remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land 

if it is in “P” mode.

EASY TO FLY

Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying

 remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing, it's

 completely under your control, responding to your

 commands while automatically handling the most

 complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

54
GPS-ASSISTED HOVER

Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its location

 and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the new

 availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time. 

Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you 

can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.

55
VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every

 sensor and completes complex 

 calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience that:

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGS

Your Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time,

 flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your

 fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your

 Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions or

 issues.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY

Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a

 vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight Battery

56
 has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status and

 remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3

 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of

 power needed to return, so you always know how long you can continue

 flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSION

Each motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best

 flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast ESCs

 to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive.

These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase or

 decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking

 mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as

 soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening

 propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.

57
INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex 

 calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience that:

Follows Your Commands Instantly Orders Your Phantom 3 To Stop And Hover In

 Place When You Release The Control Sticks

58
Allows Customized Control Settings To Fit

 Your Preferences

Enables Your Phantom 3 To Return To You 

Whenever Needed

MAIN CONTROLLER

Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power. The

 Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects data

 from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your

 command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to

 tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.

59
IMU

INERTIAL

MEASUREMENT

UNIT

Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis

 gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at

 work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.

ESCs

ELECTRONIC

SPEED

CONTROLLERS

Motor speed is critical to flight, and each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs not only

 relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller, they also send commands back to the motors based on your

 input. This constant communication keeps your Phantom stable in flight, and also helps you achieve any flight movement,

 from gentle pans to rapid acceleration.

RETURN TO HOME

Bringing your Phantom 3 back to you is as simple as pressing a button on the remote or within the Pilot app. Your system automatically remembers* the point at which it took off, and returns

 and lands safely at this point when you command it to Return to Home.

60
 *When a sufficient GPS connection is available.

SDK DEVELOPMENT

Develop your own app by using the DJI Software Development Kit.

The Phantom 3 platform is fully open and allows you to program apps that:
