## 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 figure 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 flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicator: 

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1’s flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight 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 flight recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight 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 flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on P27 for more information.

## Return to Home (RTH) The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Batter y RTH and Failsafe RTH.

GPS Description

Home Point The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon ( ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green.



### Smart RTH Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P28 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.

### 15 Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an reasonable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter “Camera” view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. 

### Failsafe RTH Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if a remote controller signal is resumed. 

### Failsafe Illustration When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator reflect estimated remaining flight time and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft’s cur rent status.

### 16 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. There are two options for Dynamic Home Point. 1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point. 2. Set the remote controller’s coordinate as the new Home Point.
Setting Up Dynamic Home Point Follow the steps below to setup Dynamic Home Point: 1. Connect to the mobile device and launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the “Camera” page. 2. Tap“ ”and select“ ”, to reset the remote controller’s coordinates as the new Home Point. 3. Tap“ ”and select“ ”, to reset the aircraft ’s coordinates as the new Home Point. 4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set successfully. 

## Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available. [1] [2]© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 17 Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light,

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place.
The performance of your Inspire 1’s Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, p ure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 m eter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or dras tically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. In the event of loss of remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then auto-land if it is in “P” mode. Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the ai rcraft is flying over water. Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz wh en Vision Positioning system is in operation. Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly,

### 18 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. Ensure propellers are attached to its corresponding motors, oth erwise the aircraft cannot take off. Handling the propellers with care. Manually tighten each of the propellers on the corresponding mo tors to ensure it is attached firmly.


### Detaching the Propellers Hold the motor still. Then spin the propeller in the unlock direction indicated on the propeller itself. 

### Detaching 1345s Quick-Release Propellers Press the 1345s Quick-Release propellers downward firmly then rotate the propeller in the unlock direction to unlock the propellers.

# Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable lo cation. 

## Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s ,

snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, tre es or bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature.

Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode. 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, dist ance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 1 20 meters. 

### Max Height & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

Max Height Max Radius

Home Point Height of aircraft when powered on

### 46 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. GPS Signal Weak Blinking Yellow Flight Limits DJI Pilot App Aircraft Status Indicator
Max Height Flight height restricted to 120m and under. Warning: Height limit reached. None.

Max Radius No limits

If you fly out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1, but cannot fly it further. If the Inspire 1 flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back within range automatically.


### No-Fly Zones All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below:
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 flight is prevente d. (3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight 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
Max Height Flight altitude must be under the set height. Warning: Height limit reached. None.

Max Radius Flight distance must be within the max radius. Warning: Distance limit reached. Rapid red flashing when close to the max radius limit.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 47 Restricted Areas: (1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight altitude restriction. (2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area. (3) A “warning zone” has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 km) of this zone, a warning message will appear in the DJI Pilo t app.

## Preflight Checklist
1. Remote controller, aircraft battery, and mobile device are full y charged. 2. Propellers are mounted correctly and firmly. 3. Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary. 4. 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 flight 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 the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you

have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap “MODE” in the app and select “Compass Calibration” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions. 2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a

solid green light.

### 50 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center

axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a different location to carry out compass calibration. Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass.



### When to Recalibrate 1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicato r is blinking red and yellow. 2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different f rom your last flight. 3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the

compass. 4. When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the Inspire 1 does n ot fly in straight lines. 

## Auto Take-off and Auto Landing
Auto Take-off Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off: 1. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter “Camera” page. 2. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 3. Go through the pre-flight checklist. 4. Tap“ ”, and confirm flight condition. Slide to confirm and take-off. 5. Aircraft takes off and hovers at 1.5 meters above ground.© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 51 Auto-Landing Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto-landing: 1. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 2. Check the landing area condition before tapping “ ”, to perform landing. 3. Aircraft lowers the landing gear and proceed to land automatically.

Landing gear will automatically raise when the aircraft reaches an altitude of 1.2m for the first time, and automatically lower every time it descends to 0.8m. U sers can turn this feature ON/OFF in the Pilot app.


## Starting/Stopping the Motors Starting Motors The Combination Stick Command (CSC) listed below are used to start the motors instead of simply push

ing the stick up. Ensure that you perform the CSC in one motion.



## Flight Test Take off/Landing Procedures 1. Place the aircraft on open, flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 2. Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery. 3. Launch the DJI Pilot App and enter the Camera page. 4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly

now. If it flashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off. 5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off. 

### Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Method 1: When the Inspire 1 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. The motors will stop after 3 seconds.

Do not perform CSC when aircraft is in midair, otherwise the motors will be stopped

. OR

OR

### 52 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 6. Shoot photos and videos using the DJI Pilot app. 7. To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle slowly to 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 off the Intelligent Flight Battery first, followed by the R emote Controller.

When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Watch video tutorials about flight for more flight information.



### Video Suggestions and Tips 1. Work through the checklist before each flight. 2. Select desired gimbal working mode in the DJI Pilot app. 3. Aim to shoot when flying in P mode only. 4. Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 5. Change camera settings to suit you. These include photo format and exposure compensation. 6. Perform flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 7. Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.
