# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's 

### f!!ght 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 braking feature. 

## FlightMode Three flight modes are available. The details of eachflight 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 and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPSfor 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: Neitl1er GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so onlyaltitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for 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 Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (!OC) is activated in this mode. For more Information about IOC, referto the !OC section in the Appendix.



## :(;j: Use the Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information.

The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions ofthese LEDs are shown in the figure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status ofthe flight controller. Referto the table belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

. 

### GPS

Home Point

**~tllli** Description If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (

**ull** ). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhen the home pointis recorded. .

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the OJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to startthe process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.

The OJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom ofyour Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [i] one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning [1] [2]

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to 

### liftoff and the aircraftwill hoverin place
. 

## .&. 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-mode 

### 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, pure white, pure red, pure green)
. • Aying overa highly reflective surfaces
. • Flying at high speeds{over8 m/s at2meters orover4 rn/s at 

### 1 meter)
. • Flying overwaterortransparent su1iaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects
. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently ordrastically. • Flying overextremelydark(lux< 10}or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thickcarpet). • Rying oversurfaces without clear patterns ortexture
. • Aying oversurfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with the same design)
. • Aying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

**~o~** 

# .Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affectthe effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is only effectivewhen the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater
. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1 DO lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith 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) atfast speeds
.. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensoremits high frequency sounds that are onlyaudibleto some animals.

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This Includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraftto the PC through the Mlcro-USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

## Calibrating thirCollipas$ IMPORTANT: Always calibrate the compass In every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight pertormance orflight failure. Regularcalibration is required for optimal pertormance. 

# 0 . Do not calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interterence. Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures, and subterranean metal structures • Do not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular

phones
. • Do not calibrate in direct proximityto large metal objects. • DO NOTcalibrate indoors. 

### Calibration Procedures Choose an open areato carry outthe following procedures. 1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-flight

preparations, or ifyou have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap the Aircraft Status Barin the app and select "Calibrate", then follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators wi!l display a solid

green light.

### 49Phantom 3 Professional User Manual How do I use the Director automatic video editor? Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI GO app. After recording several video clips, simply tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately. How do I changethe control modeof my Phantom 3? By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement of the aircraft andthe leftcontrol stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only recommended for advanced users. Can I usea Phantom 2 Remote Controllerwith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a differentfrequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz. Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Batterywith the Phantom 3? No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Batterywith greater power. The Phantom 3 has a4 cell batterywith a capacity of4480 mAh and a voltage of 15.2V. My Phantom 3 does notturn off right away, is something wrong? This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your datafrom being lost or corrupted. Do I have to buy the Remote Controllerseparately? No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller that is already linkedtothe aircraft. Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt atthe same time. What doesthe "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controller do? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle differentflight modes: P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom 3will attemptto stabilize using both. In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return tothe Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal is available. F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (!OC) functionality. Refer to the lOC section in the Appendix ofthe User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other modes. 50 @2015 DJt All Rlghls

**FU,,n~lll**Phantom3 ProfessionalUser Manual What isthe Phantom 3 flight time? Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged. Howcan I restore avideo file ifthe power isturned offduring recording? Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately30 seconds as the video file is restored. Howcan I ensure that my pictures and videoswill be synchronized to my iOS album? You may need to adjustthe settings ofyour mobile device. Open the Settings menu, selectthe Privacytab, selectthe Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the OJ! GO app icon. If the GO app has not been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized. What should I doto land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the ground, Why isthedischargetime ofthe battery not zero, even though I have never used it? Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new battery and is the reason thatthe dischargetime is notzero. The battery is safeto use. Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? No, it cannot. Howto safely operatethe aircraft when encountering compasserror? A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI GO app will display one ofthefollowing messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicatesthe aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power offthe aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted, The flight controller will automatically adjustthe orientation ofthe aircraft in the midairto mitigatethe drifts. The aircraftwill switch backto P-GPS mode whenthe automatic adjustment is completed. Howto troubleshootaircraft initialization error? If you observe thefollowing symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed 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 © :m5 OJL All Rights R>l8<>1Veti, 

### 51Phantom3 Professional User Hanual Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following 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. If the sensors remains unchanged at an time and the problem persist even when the

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

aircraft and ensurethe aircraft is stationed for more 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, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.
