# 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 crucialflightdatafor each flight. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available.The details ofeach flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning):P mode works bestwhen GPSsignal is strong.There are three different states of P mode,which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS:GPSand Vision Positioning both are available,and the aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATTI: Neither GPSor Vision Positioning available,aircraft is using only its barometerfor 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 barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPSsignal,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. 0 Use the FlightController mode switch to change theflight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27for more information. 

## Right Status Indicator The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED,Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEDs are shown in thefigure below:

## 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.

16 © 2015 all.All Rights Reserved.INSPIRE 1 User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1.Toggle the switch to "P"asshown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork 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 liftoff,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 notfunction correctly in suboptimal environments.The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A'mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are notavailable.So operate the aircraftcautiously when in any of the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces(e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water or transparentsurfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changesfrequently or drastically. • 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 withoutclear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures(e.g.tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom 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 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properly when the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions(less than 100Iux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40KHzwhen 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. 0 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.

44 © 2015 DJI.All Rights Reserved.

# 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 outin a suitable location. 

## 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 GPSsignal. 3. Avoid from obstacles,crowds,high voltage power lines,trees or bodies ofwater. 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 14700feet (4500 meters)or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6.The Inspire 1 cannotoperate within the polar areas in "P"mode.

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on heightand 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 limitsfunction includes height limits, distance 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 cannotgo higher than 120meters. 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.

•If you fly outof the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1,butcannotfly itfurther. •If the Inspire 1 flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS)mode,it will fly back within range automatically. Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. CategoryA Safety Zone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restricted

altitude zones". Flight is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles(2.4 km)around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone,inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km)to 5 miles (8 km)around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35feet(10.5 m) at 1.5 miles(2.4 km)to 400feet(120m)at5miles(8 km). (4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m)of the safety zone,awarning message will appear on the DJI PilotApp.
