# Aircraft

The flight controller provides stability, safety and control to the Phantom 3Standard. The supported flight modes are designed to optimize aircraft control for different conditions and purposes. The flight controller allows the aircraftto automatically Return-to-Home (RTH) ifthe remote controller signal is lost (i.e. Failsafe RTH) orwhen instructed to bythe pilot (i.e. Smart RTH), ensuring the safe return ofyour aircraft. Flight data is stored to the device everytime you fly and can be accessed anytime.

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-Mode (Positioning): P-Mode works bestwhen the GPS signal is strong. One of itstwo states will be selected bythe aircraft automatically depending on GPS signal strength. P-GPS: GPS is available. The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. P-ATII: GPS is notavailable. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. A-Mode (Attitude): GPS is not used for positioning,**~nd** the aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If aGPS signal is present, the aircraftwill still return to the last recorded Home Point ifthe remote controller signal is lost. F-Mode (Function): IntelligentOrientation Control (IOC) is supported in this mode. Referto the IOC section in the Appendixfor more information. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P-Mode by default. To enable otherflight modes, go to the OJI GO app

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI GO appto practice flying or have an experienced pilot accompanyyou for supervision. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. '


### I. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions including rain, snow, fog, and wind speeds exceeding I0 m/s. 2. Onlyfly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy ofthe onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid flying near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees and bodies of water. 4. Avoid flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying over 19685 feet (6000 m) above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Phantom 3 Standard cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth's polar regions.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide bythe regulations from self-regulatory organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and their local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by defaultto help users use this product safely and legally. When operating the aircraft in P-Mode, the altitude limit, radius limit and No Fly Zones work together to bound the aircraft. In A-Mode, the aircraft cannot exceed altitudes of 400 feet (120m). 

### Altitude and Radius Limits The pilot can set the altitude and radius limits in the DJI GO app to create a cyliderical geo-fence to bound the aircraft. The tables below showthe details ofthese limits.
