RE: ExemptionRequest

- Section 333 ofthe FAAReport Act andPart 11 of theFederalAviationRegulations
DearSirorMadam: Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Pub. L. No. 112-95, 126 Stat.ll (amending49 U.S.C.) (hereinafter, the "Reform Act") and 14 C.P.R. Part 11, Unified Building Sciences, Inc. ("UBS"), an operator of small unmanned aircraft systems (singularly a "sUAS" or cumulatively "sUASs") seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulationslistedbelow, to allowcommercialoperationofits sUASs. UBS analyzes and evaluates losses to buildings andother structures resulting from casualties suchas wind, hail, fire, waterandothersuchevents. As described more fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation ofsmall, unmanned sUAS under controlled condition in airspace that (a) is limited, (b) 

# is predetermined, (c) is controlled as to access, and (d) would provide safety enhancements to the building loss investigation industry. Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary ofTransportation'sresponsibilities to"
... establishrequirements for the safe operation ofsuch aircraft systems in the national airspace system." Reform Act333 (c).

Inorderto ensure atleast anequivalentlevel ofsafetytocurrentlyauthorizedoperationsusing manned aircraft, all operations will be subject to the strict operating requirements defined in the UBS UAS Flight Operations Manual and Preflight Checklist (UBS will provide these documents ifrequired, butrequests that the FAA treat them as proprietary under 14 C.F.R. 11.35(b) and not include this document in the public docket). Additionally, this petition for exemptionis supportedbytheinformationcontainedinthePhantom2Vision+ UserManual, Phantom3ProfessionalUserManual, Phantom2Vision PilotTraining Guide, andthe Smart Flight Battery Safety Guidelines (hereafter collectively referred to as "Manufacturer's OperationsManuals"). All UBS UAS willbe operatedonlyby individuals whohold atleast anFAAissuedprivate, recreational, or sport pilot certificate and who have successfully completed UBS's UAS Training Program (the UBS UAS Training Program Outline will be submitted separately if required andUBS requests thattheFAAtreatthis document as proprietaryunder 14 C.P.R. 11.35(b)andnotincludethis documentinthepublicdocket). The characteristics ofthe sUAS, detailed sUAS operatorrequirements, and sUAS operating parameters given below will ensure that all UBS UAS operations are carried out with an
UBS Section 333 ExemptionRequest- Page 2

# equivalent or higher level of safety than currently authorized manned aircraft operations. The details below regarding UBS's intended UAS applications provide clear evidence that approvalofthis exemptionis inthepublicinterest. 

# CHARACTERISTICS OFTHEsUAS The Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 2 Vision+ are very similar UAS. The Phantom 2 Vision+ andPhantom3Professionalhave a diagonalmotor-to- motordistance ofapproximately 14 inches. The Phantom 3 Professional is approximately 27 inches across, measured diagonally andincludingthepropellers. EachUAis constructedprimarilyoffrangible materials(plastic) and weigh less than 3 pounds each. The Phantom Vision+ is powered by a 5200 mAh 3S LiPo battery. ThePhantom3Professionalispoweredbya 6000mAh2S LiPobattery. The maxflight speed ofthePhantom2 Vision+ is approximately 34 mph, while the maxflight speed ofthe Phantom3 Professional is approximately 36 mph. EachUAcontains an on-board GPS and an inertial measurement unit for flight stabilization and automatic failsafe return to homeincase ofalostcontrolsignal. Additionally, theseUASoffergeo-fencingandmaxaltitude features to restrict the maximum vertical and horizontal distance the aircraft will fly from its home point. The Phantom 3 and Vision+ also display real time flight data, including battery status, altitudeanddistancefromhome, withintheDJIApp. Each sUAS operated by UBS for commercial use will be registered in accordance with 14 C.F.RPart47, andwillbe markedin accordance with 14 C.P.R. Part45, Subpart C, ina size as large aspracticalfor the size ofthe sUAS. All sUASs operated by UBS will be maintained in accordance with the manufacture's maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, andlife limitrequirements for the aircraft and aircraft components and all pertinent instructions in the user manuals. Repairs, component changes, and software/firmware updates will be recorded in the sUAS's maintenance log. Maintenance log entries will include the date, sUAS ID number, registration number, current sUAS flight time, a description of work performed, and the name of the individual who completed the work. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the sUAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement ofa flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight, priorto use in any commercial operations. The functional test flight mustbe conducted in such a manner so as to notpose an undue hazard to persons and property. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry in the aircraft records. A pre-flight inspection ofthe sUAS will be completedbythe PICprior to each flight operation as specified in the UBS sUAS Flight Operations Manual. Ifthe inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation ofthe UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating untilthe necessary maintenance has beenperformedandthe UAS is found tobe in a condition for safeflight. AllUBS UASwillcomplywithallapplicablemanufacturersafetybulletins. Additional information on the aircraft specifications, performance limitations, operating procedures, and pre-flight inspections is contained in the attached documents. The safety and reliability ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ sUAS is further supported by the fact that numerous FAAexemptions have previouslybeen approved for its use in commercial operations. As noted above, the DJI Phantom 3 Professional is very similar to the DJI Vision+ and incorporates additionalsafetyfeatures.

# OPERATORREQUIREMENTS All UBS sUAS operators will hold at least an FAA issued private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate andwill have successfully completed UBS's UAS Training Program. Completion of the UBS sUAS Training Program will ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate a sUAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, that he/she is able to safely operate the sUAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. All operators will either meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 orwill annually complete andlog atleast 4hours ofgroundinstruction with a certified flight instructor (CFI)coveringregulations andissuespertinentto commercialoperationofthe Phantom3ProfessionalandPhantom2Vision+ sUAS. The individual acting as PIC of a sUAS will be identified prior to any flight and will not change oncethe flight hasbegun. The PICis the individualin operational control oftheflight operation from beginningto end and is responsible for safe flight ofthe sUAS. All PIC flight hours used to demonstrate qualifications and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14CFR§61.51(b). In order to act as PIC, all UBS sUAS operators will hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state, the District ofColombia, Puerto Rico, aterritory, apossession, ortheFederalgovernment. 

# UAS OPERATINGPARAMETERS In order to provide for a level of safety at least equivalent to operations conducted using manned aircraft, all UBS commercial sUAS operations willbe conducted in accordance with thefollowing specificoperatinglimitations:

• The sUAS may notbe operated ata speedexceeding 30 knots (34 miles perhour). In no case will the sUAS be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum sUAS operatingairspeedrecommendedby the aircraftmanufacturer.
• Alloperations shallbe conductedinaccordancewithanATO-issuedCOA.
• All sUAS operations will occur at or below 500 ft AGL or the maximum altitude specified in the COA limitations, unless the purpose of the flight is to inspect a building or structurewhich is 

# tallerthan500 ft. Ifthepurpose ofthe flight is to inspect a building or structure which is taller than 500 ft then the max altitude ofthe sUAS will be restricted to 20 ft above the highest point ofthat building or structure. All altitudes mustbereportedinfeetAGL.

• No sUAS willbe operatedwithin 3nauticalmiles ofanairportreference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denotedwithanARP, the centerofthe airport symbol as denotedonthe currentFAA published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport's managementis obtainedorotherwisepermittedbya COAissuedtoUBS. Theletterof agreement withthe airport management mustbe made available to the Administrator oranylawenforcementofficialuponrequest.

# • No sUAS will be operated within class B, C, D or E airspace unless a letter of agreement from the controlling ATC office is obtained or the flight is otherwise permittedby a COAissued to UBS. The letterofagreementfrom ATC mustbe made availabletotheAdministratororanylawenforcementofficialuponrequest.
• The sUAS mustbe operatedwithinvisualline ofsight (VLOS) ofthePICatalltimes. ThisrequiresthePICtobeable touse humanvisionunaidedby any device otherthan corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver'slicense.

• All operating documents and a grant ofexemption must be accessible during sUAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the grant of exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations in the grant ofexemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the PIC must followtheproceduresas outlinedintheoperatingdocuments. UBS mayupdate orrevise its operating documents. However, it is UBS's responsibility totrack suchrevisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. UBS must also present updated and revised documents if it petitionsfor extensionoramendmenttothe grantofexemption. IfUBS determinesthat any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, thenUBSmustpetitionfor anamendmenttothegrantofexemption.

• sUAS operations may notbe conducted during night, as defmed in 14 CFR 

# § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. The sUAS may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or whenvisibilityis less than3 statutemilesfromthePIC.

• Priorto eachflight thePICmustinspectthe sUAStoensure thatitis ina conditionfor safe flight. Ifthe inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation ofthe sUAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the sUAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenanceandalterationsmustbeproperlydocumentedinthe aircraftrecords.

• Any sUAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the sUAS operation orflight characteristics, e.g. replacement ofa flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make anentryintheaircraftrecords.

• Ifthe sUAS loses communications orloses its GPS signal, the sUAS mustreturn to a predeterminedlocation.

• ThePICmustaborttheflight intheeventofunpredictedobstacles oremergencies.

• The PICis prohibitedfrombeginning a flight unless the sUAS'sbatterylevel is at 75% orhigher. ThePICmustbeginreturningthe sUAS tothe designatedlanding areawhen thebatteryleveldropsbelow25%.

• Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight ofthe sUAS UBS Section 333 ExemptionRequest-Page 5

• The sUAS must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities atalltimes.

• ThesUASmaynotbe operatedbythePICfrom anymovingdevice orvehicle.

• sUAS will not be operated directly over nonparticipating persons unless barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/ordebris inthe event ofan accident. UAwillnotbe operatedover any open-air assemblyofpeople.

• Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries ofthe operational area as definedbythe applicable COAwillbereported to the PAA's UAS Integration Office (APS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents will be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions containedontheNTSBWeb site: www.ntsb.gov. 

# APPLICATIONS ANDPUBLIC INTEREST TherequestedexemptionwouldallowUBS tooperatetheDJIPhantom3ProfessionalandPhantom 2 Vision+ for the purposes of inspection of buildings and other structures for the purpose of investigating and evaluating casualty losses. These inspections and investigations are completed on both residential and commercial properties and are typically conducted in support ofthe property insurance industry. Use of sUAS for these applications will offer significant advantages related to safety, time, andcost. Mostproperties throughoutthe country areinsured, andpropertyownershave aninterest in insurance underwriting, coverage, andclaims processing; therefore it is clearthatgrant ofthisexemptionwouldbe inthepublicinterest. Current options for gathering the data which under this exemption wouldbe collected using sUAS, include use ofladders, lifts, and manned aircraft. Use ofladders and lifts are inherently dangerous and result in numerous injuries each year. Use of manned aircraft is typically not feasible and therefore valuable informationremains beyondthe reach ofthe investigator. In most cases, use ofa sUASis quickerandeasierthananyotheralternative andoftenyieldsbetterinformation. Duetotheir small size andthe fact they carry nofuel, 

# eachmodel ofthe DJIPhantomposes a very lowriskofdamagetopersons orstructures onthe ground. Because these sUAS are electricpowered, theycreatenoharmfulemissions andmakeverylittlenoise. SUMMARY

# THAT CANBEPUBLISHED INTHEFEDERALREGISTER UBS requests the grant ofan exemption to the following specific sections ofthe Title 14 Code of federal RegulationswhichwouldallowittooperatemicroUASfor commercialuse: 14 CPR 21, subpart H, 14 C.P.R Sections 61.3, 61.113(a)&(b), 61.133(a), 91.9 (b)(2), 91.103(b), 91.105, 91.109(a), 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.203(a) &(b), 91.319(a)(1), 91.405, 91.407, 91.409, 91.417
UBS Section 333 ExemptionRequest- Page 6

# CONCLUSIONS 

# UBS respectfully requests that the FAA grant the exemption sought in this request. UBS believes that considering the small size and weight ofthe sUAS, along with the sUAS PIC training and certification requirements stipulated above and the strict operating guidelines proposed herein, it is clearly demonstrated that the sUAS will be operated safely in the national air space (NAS) with an equivalent or greater level ofsafety compared to manned aircraft. We are prepared to modify or amend any part ofthis request as deemed necessary by the FAAto satisfy the needfor anequivalent level ofsafety. Please contactus atany time ifyou require additionalinformationorclarification. Respectfully submitted, UNIFIEDBUILLDINGSCIENCES,

# APPENDIXA: REGULATIONSREQUIRINGEXEMPTION 

# UBS requests anexemptionfromthefollowingregulations as well as any additionalregulations that may technically apply to the operation ofthe Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 2 Vision+ sUAS: 14C.F.R.Part21, SubpartH:Airworthiness Certificates 14CFR§91.203(a)(1) 

# Section 91.203 requires all civil aircraft to have a certificate ofairworthiness. Part 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR 

# § 91.203(a). Given the size of the sUAS, its light weight, andthelimitedoperating area associatedwithits utilization, itis unnecessarytogo through the certificate ofairworthinessprocess underPart21 SubpartH inordertoachieve orexceedcurrent safetylevels. Suchanexemptionmeetstherequirementsofanequivalentlevel ofsafetyunderPart 11 andSection 333 ofthe Reform Act. TheFederalAviationAct andSection 333 ofthe ReformActbothauthorize theFAAtoexemptaircraftfrom therequirementfor anairworthinesscertificate, uponconsideration ofthe size, weight, speed, operational capability, andproximity to airports andpopulated areas of the sUAS involved. An analysis of these different criteria demonstrates that the sUAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, under the conditions proposed in that exemption, will be at leastas safe, orsafer, thana conventionalaircraftwithanairworthinesscertificate. 14C.F.R. 

# §61.3: Requirementsforcertificates, ratingsandauthorizations 14 C.F.R. 

# § 61.113(a) & (b); 61.133(a): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations; Pilot in Command; CommercialPilotPrivilegesandLimitations 

# The regulation provides that no person may serve as a required pilot flight crewmember ofa civil aircraftofthe UnitedStates, unlessthatperson: (1) 

# Has apilotcertificate orspecialpurposepilotauthorizationissuedunderthispartinthatperson's physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges ofthatpilot certificate orauthorization. However, whenthe aircraft is operatedwithin a foreign country, a pilot license issuedbythatcountrymaybe used. The regulation provides also that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command ofan aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) 

# allows a private pilot to act as pilotincommandofanaircraftinconnectionwithanybusinessoremploymentif: (1)

# Theflight is onlyincidentaltothatbusinessoremployment; (2)

# The aircraftdoes notcarrypassengersorpropertyfor compensationorhire. Given the size, weight, speed, operational limitations, and range ofthe sUAS, UBS proposes that operators of the UAS should not be required to hold a commercial pilot certification. Instead, operatorsshouldberequiredto: Hold atleast anFAAissuedprivate, recreational, or sportpilot certificate. All operators will either meettheflightreviewrequirements specifiedin 14 CFR§61.56 orwill annuallycomplete andlog at

# least 4 hours ofground instruction with a certified flight instructor (CFI) covering regulations and issues pertinent to commercial operation ofthe Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS. 14 C.F.R. §91.9: Civilaircraftflightmanual, marking, andplacardrequirements. 

# This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manualis inthe aircraft. UBS proposestoprovide an equivalentlevel ofsafetyby maintaining a copy ofall documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight ofthe UAS as well as documentation ofanexemption andCOAwith the ground control station and accessible to the PIC duringflightoperations. 14C.F.R. §91.103: Preflightaction 

# This regulation requires that eachpilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar withall available informationconcerningthatflight. This informationmust include runwaylengths at airportsofintendeduse, andthe following takeoffandlandingdistanceinformation. This regulation is not applicable due to the fact UBS sUAS operations will not occur at an airfield. To provide anequivalent level ofsafety, the PICwill complete a preflight inspection as directedby the manufacturer'smanuals andUBS UAS operationsmanualbefore anyflight. 14C.F.R. §91.109(a) &91.319(a)(l):FlightInstruction 

# The regulation provides that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight instructionunless thataircrafthasfully functioning dualcontrols." The equivalent level of safety will be achieved through UBS's sUAS flight training program and conductingflight trainingwithincontrolledenvironments. 14 C.F.R§91.105: FlightCrewmembersat Stations 

# The regulation states that required crewmembers must be at their stations in the aircraft during specificportions ofaflight. This is not applicable since the sUAS carry no crewmembers. An equivalent level ofsafety will be maintainedby ensuringthatthePICis identifiedpriorto any flight andthatthe PIC does notchange during aflight. ThePICwillmaintaincontroloftheUASforthedurationoftheflight. 14CFR§91.119:MinimumSafeAltitudes 

# The regulation provides that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the UA will be operating at a maximumof500feet AGL, these operationscannotcomplywiththisrequirement. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight and speed of the sUAS. Additionallythe sUAS willbe operated in a defined andrelatively smallAOI. Moreover, the sUAS willnotbe operatedover any open-airassembly ofpersons oroveranypersonnotinvolvedwiththe operation. The aircraft willbe operated at an altitude allowing, ifa power unit fails, an emergency landingwithoutunduehazardtopersons orpropertyonthe surface.
UBS Section 333 ExemptionRequest-Page 9

# 14CFR91.121-Altimetersettings 

# This section requires that each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising altitude or flight level ofthataircraft, as the casemaybe,byreferenceto analtimeterthatis set, whenoperating below 18,000feetMSLto:
• The current reported altimeter setting ofa station along the route and within 100 nauticalmiles oftheaircraft;

• Ifthere is no station withinthe areaprescribedin paragraph (a)(l)(i) ofthis section, the currentreportedaltimetersettingofanappropriate available station;

• In the case ofan aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation ofthe departure airportoranappropriate altimetersetting available before departure. To provide an equivalent level of safety, the sUAS utilize a GPS system, barometric pressure sensors, andinternalgyroscopestocalculatethe altitude. 14C.F.R. §

# 91.151(a): FuelRequirementsforFlightinVFRConditions 

# Theregulationprovides thatnoperson maybegin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unlessthere is enoughfuel to fly to thefirstpointofintendedlanding andtofly afterthatfor atleast 30 minutes. Giventhe area ofoperationfor the UAS, UBS believes that anequivalent level ofsafety is achieved byrequiring at least 75% battery power in order to begin a flight andrequiring the UAto return to landwhenthebatterypowerreaches 25%. 14 C.F.R.§91.203 (a) & (b): 

# CarryingCivilAircraft CertificationandRegistration 

# Thisregulationprovides as follows:

• No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has an appropriate and current airworthiness certificate.

• Noperson may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers orcrew.

# Theregulation provides thatthe operator is primarily responsible for maintainingthe aircraft in an UBS Section 333 ExemptionRequest- Page 10

# airworthy condition, including compliance with Parts 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require thatthe aircraftbe "approvedfor returnto service by aperson authorized under43.7" after maintenance andinspection. Section 91.409(a)(2) requires an annual inspection for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. Section 91.417(a) requires the owner or operator to keep records showing certain maintenance work that has been accomplished by certificated mechanics, under Part43, orlicensedpilotsandrecords ofapprovalofthe aircraftforreturnto service. UBS proposes that the maintenance, as well as preflight inspections of the sUAS will be accomplished by the PIC. All maintenance will be conducted and logged in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. An

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Trarning Gurde to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are earned out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affectthe accuracy of the onboard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom awayfrom obstacles, crowds, highvoltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when rn 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 operatewithin the polar areas. (6) Do notfly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### PreflightChecklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are tully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in goodcondition, not broken orworn. (5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro-SO card has been inserted it necessary. (8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (1

0) DJI VISIONApp can connectto the camera.
IMPORTANT: 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 pertorrnance or evenflight 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 materialswith you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOT calibrate besidemassive metal objects.

### 1.2 When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator w1ll blink red andyellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight. (3) Mechanicalstructure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position ofthe compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines.


### 2.1 Starting Motors A Combinat'1on 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. Oncethe motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously.



### 2.2 Stopping Motors There are two methods to stopthe motors. l=igure 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 will stop after 3 seconds.



### [1) [2] Ftgure 60 Figure 51 

# 0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the arrcraft to dropwithout control. 

## :\j: •Conductthe 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 releasethrottle lock.



### 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on openflat groundwith battery indicatorsfacing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart 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 Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has Initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Readyto Fly (non-GPS) mode andwill require more careful flight. Executethe

## esc command tostart motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowlyto take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18)for more details. (6) Shoot photos and VIdeos usingthe 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 gentlyto descend. (8) After landing. execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn offthe smart battery, Range Extenderand Remote Controller.Flight 

# & •When the Rear LED Flrght 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 aboutflightfor moreflight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training. • Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be

very careful whenflying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

### 3.2Video Suggestions andTips (1) Workthrough the check list before eachflight. (2) Setthe gimbalworking mode to Stabilized (3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. (4) Alwaysfly in goodweather, such as sunny or windless days. (5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photoformat and exposure compensation. (6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gentlyto make arrcratt movements stable and smooth.

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 landto prevent injury or damage. 

## 1:§ 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 coordrnates and land. • Horne point coordinates are used to calculatethe horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the

GUI ofthe DJI VISION App). • After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. Dynamic Home Point: The Home pointwill be resetto position ofthe 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 service to obtain higher accuracyof 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 FailsafeActivate? (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 modefrom different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing The FightControl Systemwill keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be driftduringthe descentand landing process. Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircrafttofly backto the home point and land.

### 3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-point error? If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC andthe Phantom will not take off. The beloware some possiblefixes 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+. Solutron: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leadingto a deviation in the mid-point position. Solutron: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cycle the Phantom 2Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. If the above solutions do not solveyour issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service lor repair. 

### 3.2 Howto restore avideofile

### 3.9 SomeAndroid devices have a problem connectingtothe Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi Extender. Solution: Some Android devices donot allowfor both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the sametime. When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a cerlain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan tor the next available connection. Example: For the Sarnsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings ·> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You mightsee a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored.

### 3.11 Howto landthe aircraft more smoothly? Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

### 3.12Why is the dischargetime ofa battery not zero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test rs performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is why the discharge trme of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okayto use. 

### 3.13 Do I need extra hardwareto utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

### 3.14 Does ground station support caching mapdataoffline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

### 3.15 What if I accidentlyexit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If OJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraftwithin 1rninute, aircraft returns home point automatically.The content is subjectto change. [Download the latest version from J

# Fly Safe

DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional in a safe, responsible, and smart way. To do this, rt is impOrtant to understandsome basic ffight guidelines, both for your protection and forthe safety ofthose around you. 1. FlyinOpenAreas:Always ffyin locationsthatarefree and clear ofbuildings, trees, powerlrnes, andother obstacles. Do notfly above

or near people or animafs. 2. Maintain Control atAll Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to

Home, always keepyour hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control ofyouraircraft when it is in ffight. 3. Maintain UneofSight: Keep youraircraft in sight at ail times, and avoidflying behindbuildingsor otherobstaclesthatmayliJck)lOUr """"- 4. MonitorYourAltitude: Forthe safety offull-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always ffyat altitudes less than 400 teet (120 meters)

above ground level, or in line with your local laws and regulations. Visit http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly tor more information on critical safety features such as No-FlyZones. • Calibrating the Compass: Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetrc interterence, which can cause abnormal compass data, leading to poor flight pertormance or even failure. Regular calibrat1on is

# requ~red tor optimal pertormance.
1. DO NOT calibrate your compasswhere there is a chance ofstrong magnetic interterence, such as magnetite. park1ng structures, and

steel reinforcements underground. 2. DO NOTcarry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 3. DO NOTcalibrate beside massive metal objects. 4. If the Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid red, then try to calibrate again. If they are blinking red and yellow alternately after

placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Changeyour location. • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not fty in severe weather conditions. Th1s includes high winds (speeds of22 mp11 or 10 m/s or more). snow, ra1n, and tog. 2. Only fty in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS s1gna1. 3.Avoid obstacles, crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interterence byavoiding areas with high levels ofelectromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission towers, orWi-Fr hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery pertormance

### are subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when

flying 19,600feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efficiency. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATTl Mode and the Vis1on Positioning

system will be operational. • P Mode: In this mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision Positioning system, allowingit to hover accurately rn position indoors and out. When GPS

## s available, a Home Point will be locked so that the Phantom 3 Professional can Return to Home if the Remote Controller signal is lost.



# s
To enable P Mode, toggle the Flight ModeSwitch to the P position.
There are three states in P mode: PHGPS: GPS works bestwhen outdoorsandin a wide open area. Your Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover rn place wt1en there is a strong GPS signal. P-OPTJ: IfGPS is notavailable, the aircraft can usethe Vision Positioning system to hoveraccurately. P-ATTI: N81ther GPS nor the Vision Position1ng system are available. The aircraft will only use its barometer for altitude and other on-board sensors for attitude stabilization. Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when the Phantom 3 Professional is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low-light envtronment.

## This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

# Aircraft

The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air brakingfeature.

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found 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 Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors . P-GPS: GPS andVision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning Systemfor positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, soonly altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not usedfor stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refertothe IOC section in the Appendix.



## :¢; Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Fiig!:11 Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-rnode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Flyingover a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces

. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects

. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently ordrastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfacesthat can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles withthe same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft. :\): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 3 meters
. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying overwater. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of40 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 (below0.5 meters) at fast speeds

# Flight
This section describes safe flight practices and flight restrictions.

# II Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended thatyou use the flight simulator in the OJI GO app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area.

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and

temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greaterthan 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea level, asthe performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits. and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitudefrom exceeding 1640teet {500 m)

. 

### Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the OJI GO app. Beaware thatthe maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.
How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? 

### If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has tailed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal. -n )> 

### 0"Tl )> 

### 0 Phantom 3 Professional User Manual
Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing the suggestions listed below:
• Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. II the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted. it indicatesthe sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI tor repairing.
• Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed lormore than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, lor instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.
