## 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 fgure below:

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the Rear LED displays solid green. Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the fight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicator: 

# Aircraft

Flight Controller The Inspire 1’s fight controller is based on DJI fight controller with several enhancements such as new fight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A fight recorder stores crucial fight data for each fight.



## Flight Mode Three fight modes are available. The details of each fight 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 dep ending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the a ircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning 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 Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point 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 fight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on P27 for more information.

### No-Fly Zones All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI offcial website at http://fysafe.dji.com/no-fy. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and fying felds 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:
Airport: (1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles of various size. (2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and fight is prevente d. (3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the fight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The fight altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile. (4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear in the DJI Pilot app. GPS Signal Strong Blinking Green Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator

Gimbal is functioning as normal. 5. Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 6. DJI Pilot app connected to the aircraft.



## Calibrating the Compass 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 fight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required fo r optimum performance.
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such

as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements unde rground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.



### Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-fight preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap Aircraft Status Indicator bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow th e on-screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a solid green light.
