# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phan tom 3 Ad vanced's flight controller features several important upg r ades, includ i ng a new flight mode. Safety modes incl u de Failsa fe and Re turn-to -Ho me. These features ensure th e safe re t urn o f your a ircraft if the control signal is lost. The f ligh t co ntr oller can also save critical f li g h t data from each fl i gh t to th e on-board storage dev ice . The ne w flight contro l l er also provides i nc reased stability and a new ai r b rak in g f eat ure.

Three flight modes are ava il ab l e. The detail s of each flight mode are found below P -mode (Posit io ni ng) : P-mode works bes t w l 1en GPS sig n al i s strong . There are th re e di fferen t sta t e s o f P - mode , which will be au tomatically se l ected by the P hantom 3 Advanced depending on signal s treng t h o f GP S and Vision Position i ng sensors : P-GPS : GPS and Vi sion Pos itio n ing bot h are avai lable. The a i rcraft is using GPS for positioning P-OPTI Vis i on Pos iti on in g is available but the GPS s igna l strength is n o t suffic i ent . The ai rc r aft is using only the Vision Pos ition i ng Syst em for pos i t ioning. P -A Til Neither GPS nor Vision Posi t i on i ng is avai l ab l e. The a irc raft is using only i ts ba r ometer for position in g, so on ly altitude can be stabi li zed. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Viston Position i ng System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft on ly u ses i t s barometer. The aircraft can st il l a ut omatically re tu rn to the home po in t i f the cont ro l s i gn al i s lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully.
