Re: Request for Exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

2012 and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R.

Robo Aerial LLC

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform 

Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Antonelli Law files this petition for exemption on behalf of Robo 

Aerial LLC (“Robo Aerial”) an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAs”) for the 

commercial purposes of (1) aerial photography and videography for closed-set filming; (2) openset cinematography; (3) mapping and surveying; and (4) inspections. Specifically, petitioner seeks 

an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A to allow 

commercial operation of its UAs, so long as such operations are conducted within and under the 

conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in a grant of this petition. This 

request is substantially similar to other data collection petitions previously approved, and should 

be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure.

Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow operation of the DJI S1000, DJI Inspire 

1, and DJI Phantom 3 for the proposed uses in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise 

prescribed by an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued COA. These UAs have been previously 

approved for the proposed use in the exemption grants identified in Section VII of the petition. 

The UA covered by this petition is a small battery-powered craft, weighing no greater than 24.3 

lbs. (11 kg), inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UA under the strict conditions 

proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, as Congress intended, while still 

allowing commercial operations. Operations using this UA are far safer than conventional 

operations conducted with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, 

carry large amounts of highly flammable fuel, and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, 

infrastructure, and people. 

Congress directed the FAA to consider seven factors in deciding whether to approve 

Section 333 exemption petitions - size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, 

proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight. In this case, each factor

I. Publishable Summary

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11, the following summary is provided for publication in the 

Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed:

Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules: 

14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 C.F.R. 

45.29; 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 

C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.119 (c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 

C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 

91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) 

to operate commercially small unmanned aircraft systems (UAs) (24.3 lbs. or less).

Approval of the exemption requested by petitioner will allow commercial operation of the 

DJI Inspire 1, S1000, and Phantom 3 for the purposes of (1) aerial photography and videography 

for closed-set filming; (2) open-set cinematography; (3) mapping and surveying; and (4) 

inspections in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO-issued COA. 

The requested exemption should be granted because operation of small UAs weighing no greater 

than 24.3 lbs. (11 kg), inclusive of battery and payload, conducted in the strict conditions outlined 

below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing commercial operations. The 

lightweight aircraft covered by the exemption are far safer than conventional operations conducted 

with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft weighing thousands of pounds and carrying large amounts 

of highly flammable fuel, and operating in close proximity to the ground and people. The seven 

factors Congress directed the FAA to consider when approving Section 333 exemption petitions -

size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and 

operation within visual line of sight – each support the request. In particular, the aircraft are small, 

and will operate at slow speeds, and close to the ground. The substantial increase of safety and 

decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk use of UAs to conduct these operations, 

weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption.

If Tx signal is lost for more than three seconds and the UA is under 65 ft. 

(20 m.) AGL, the UA will rise to 65 ft. AGL, travel horizontally to the 

predesignated home spot, then land. If the UA is above 65 ft. AGL, travel 

horizontally to the predesignated home spot, hover for 15 seconds, then 

land.

B. The Crew

The crew will consist of a pilot in command (PIC) and a visual observer (VO). The PIC 

and VO will have been trained in operation of UAs generally and received up-to-date information 

on the UAs to be operated pursuant to this grant. The PIC will have, at a minimum, a sport pilot 

license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. driver’s license.

The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to the training and 

characteristics of the crew are numbers 3 and 6-9 in Section V below. Each has been adopted or 

imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions.

For more information regarding the flight crew and training, please refer to the following 

Exhibits:

Exhibit 2: Section 5.5 Scheduling; 6.4: Safety Training; 7: Training; 

Exhibit 3: Operator Minimum Requirements.

C. Flight Conditions

The UAs will be used for (1) aerial photography and videography for closed-set filming; 

(2) open-set cinematography; (3) mapping and surveying; and (4) inspections in Class G airspace 

(unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO-issued COA) under 400 feet above ground level (“AGL”) 

and under controlled conditions over either (a) public rights of way where there is no expectation 

of privacy; or (b) over private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and 

consent of participating individuals. Petitioner will work with the local FSDO when planning 

operations. Petitioner will only operate the UAs in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). The 

UAs will at all times be no less than 500 feet below and no less than 2,000 feet horizontally from 

a cloud, and petitioner will not conduct operations unless visibility is at least 3 statute miles from 

the PIC. The flight crew will always make a safety assessment of the risk of every operation, and 

will only operate when it is determined that no hazards are present.

The specific conditions of the proposed exemption that relate to the flight conditions in 

which the UA will be operated are numbers 2, 4, 16, and 28-29 in Section V below. Each has been 

adopted or imposed by the FAA in numerous previous grants of Section 333 exemption petitions.

operations, please refer to Exhibit 3: Robo Aerial Motion Picture and Television Operations 

Manual.

IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety

Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that 

operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a level of safety at least 

equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft operations under the current regulatory structure. 

Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petitioner agrees to be bound 

when conducting commercial operations under a grant of this petition. Appendix A contains a 

matrix connecting (i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it 

provides an equivalent level of safety and (iii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants 

in which the FAA recognized this equivalent level of safety.

Approval of the commercial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security 

issue. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate. Therefore, he or she will have 

been subject to security screenings by the Department of Homeland Security.

V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption

1. The UA, including battery and technical payload, will weigh no more than approximately 24.3

lbs. (11 kg).

2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose 

of (1) aerial photography and videography for closed-set filming; (2) open-set cinematography; 

(3) mapping and surveying; and (4) inspections in Class G airspace nationwide, unless 

otherwise prescribed by an ATO issued COA.

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a PIC and VO.

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the 

procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet 
9

AGL.

5. The UA will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 31 knots. 

6. Minimum flight crew for each operation will consist of the UA PIC and a VO.

7. The PIC will possess, at a minimum, a sport pilot license and either a third class medical 

certificate or a U.S. driver’s license.

8. The petitioner will not permit any PIC to operate the UA unless the PIC meets its qualification 

criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAs in a manner consistent with how 

the UAs will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers 

and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC 

qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

§61.51(b). A record of the PIC training will be documented and made available upon request 

by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training 

sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential 

for flight operations will be considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UAs with 

appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 

9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding 

other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to 

operate the camera or other instruments.

10. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her 

designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the 

functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents.

11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day’s 

activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties in connection 

with the operations be present for this briefing. 

12. Prior to each flight, the PIC will inspect the UAs, including the Ground Control Station, to 

ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the 

safe operation of the UAs, the PIC will not operate the UAs until the necessary maintenance 

has been performed and the UAs are found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance 

and alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft records.

13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenance or 

alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight 

critical component. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the 

aircraft records. 

14. The petitioner will carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in 

accordance with the UA manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, 

replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. 

Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will 

be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work 

accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The 
10

authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against 

discrepancies discovered between inspections.

15. The UA will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. 

This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than 

corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate verbally. They will not 

be permitted to use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations. 

16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there 

is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and prepare to 

land with at least 25% battery power remaining.

17. Actual total flight time for each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery 

reserve.

18. The UA will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unexpected obstacles or 

emergencies. 

19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will 

return to a pre-determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered 

in accordance with the operating documents

20. If the UA and its radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection 

will be triggered and the multirotor will return to home and land automatically, rather than 

flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location. 

21. The operating documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and 

available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time the UAs are operating. 

These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official 

upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemption 

grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the grant conditions and 

limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petitioner will follow the 

procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or revises its operating documents, 

it will present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. If the 

petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA 

granted the exemption, then the Petitioner will petition for an amendment to the grant of 

exemption. 

22. Petitioner will obtain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of 

the landowners over which flights will be conducted.

23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city 

jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental 

agencies. 

24. UA operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations 

will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights will not be 

conducted under special visual flight rules (SVFR). 
11

25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. 

Petitioner will request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but 

not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance 

with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, altitude level 

and potential transponder requirements. 

26. The UA will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted 

on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s 

management has been obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM 

as required by the operator’s COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport management will 

be made available to the Administrator upon request. 

27. The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, 

a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 

28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO 

issued COA. 

29. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number,

registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N-Number) markings 

in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large as practicable. 

30. Before conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used 

for operation and control of the UA complies with the Federal Communications Commission 

(FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 

31. The UA will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and 

activities at all times. 

32. The UA will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 

33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, 

vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the 

UAs and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that 

nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where 

nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UAs, the PIC 

will ensure that flight operations cease immediately.

b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of 

such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety 

assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not 

present an undue hazard.

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an 

undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a).

34. Petitioner will report any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or 

vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UAS 

Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the National 
12

Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: 

www.ntsb.gov. Petitioner’s 

When conducting operations for the purpose of closed-set photography and videography, 

petitioner will adhere to the following additional conditions and limitations:

35. The operator will have available at the ground control station site a copy of the Motion Picture 

and Television Operations Manual (MPTOM) during all operations. Petitioner’s MTPOM has 

been submitted confidentially as Exhibit 3.

36. At least 3 days before aerial filming, petitioner will submit a written Plan of Activities to the 

local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed 

filming. The 3-day notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of 

activities will include at least the following: 

a) Dates and times for all flights;

b) Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under 

this grant of exemption;

c) Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on-scene operation of the 

UAS;

d) Make, model, and serial or N-Number of UAS to be used;

e) Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming;

f) A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or 

local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave 

permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; 

g) Signature of exemption holder or representative; and

h) A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, 

town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes 

essential to accomplish the operation.

37. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting 

to be involved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the MPTOM.

VI. Privacy

There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy. All flights 

will occur over either (a) public rights of way where there is no expectation of privacy; or (b) over 

private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and consent of participating 

individuals.

If data collected is made available for public view, all images containing uninvolved 

persons will be blurred or blacked-out. No attempt will be made to identify any individuals filmed 

during the flights except in cases where they are trespassing upon or damaging customer property, 

or interfering with the petitioner’s or its customers’ operations.

VII. Public Interest and Safety

The planned UA use will increase ground safety for (1) aerial photography and 

videography for closed-set filming; (2) open-set cinematography; (3) mapping and surveying; and 

(4) inspections. This type of data collection has previously been performed by manned aircraft or 
13

by individuals on the ground. Both are more time consuming and are more expensive than using 

UAs. Use of manned aircraft poses enhanced risk to the pilot and onboard crew, who would be 

several hundred feet in the air. 

The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using UAs and carrying 

no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater mass, carrying crew 

in addition to large amounts of highly flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the 

UA operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.

Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012 – size, 

weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation 

within visual line of sight and national security – provide more than adequate justification for the 

grant of the requested exemption allowing commercial operation of petitioner’s UA for (1) aerial 

photography and videography for closed-set filming; (2) open-set cinematography; (3) mapping 

and surveying; and (4) inspections.

1. Aerial Photography and Videography for Closed-Set Filming

The FAA has previously determined that using each of the requested UAs for aerial 

photography and videography for closed-set motion picture and television filming is in the public 

interest.

The S1000 family has been approved for this commercial purpose in the following

Carbon fiber arms give you the strength to maneuver in the air and they transform, moving out of the camera’s way at the flick of a switch. With a full 360

 unobstructed view, you now have the freedom to capture shots independent of the direction you are flying.

ROTOR DESIGN

The all new 13 inch quick release rotors are built with the unique DJI "Z-Blade"

26
 design. They have been reinforced with new carbon fiber compound material

 to ensure excellent performance with increased stability.

CURVED MAGNETS

Brushless motors pioneered by DJI are now the standard in the multirotor

 industry. But the Inspire 1 takes the next step in brushless development by

 integrating curved magnets that fit flush around the edge of each motor.

 Although much more difficult to produce, these magnets eliminate airflow

 gaps within the motor, greatly increasing efficiency.

SINGLE-WIRE DESIGN

Several strands of copper wire have been replaced by a single, dense strand.

 Reducing the wasted space between wires results in more copper within each

 motor, providing more power and less resistance. A centrifugal pump

 increases airflow inside the neat, tight copper windings dissipating heat much

 faster while greatly increasing the life of the motors.

27
NEW ESCS

The revolutionary Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) with sinusoidal drive

 replaces the square wave drive of traditional ESCs redefining the whole drive

 system. The patented algorithm in the ESCs have been tuned and customized

 specifically for the Inspire 1 offering features such as closed loop torque control

 and distinct functional redundancy with the highest efficiency and the most

 reliability.

INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A fully integrated intelligent battery powers your Inspire 1 and virtually manages

 itself.

28
When in flight, your remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know

 how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms calculate the distance

 of your aircraft and estimated time to return home, letting you know when it’s

 time to fly back.

The battery reports the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and

 discharges, and the overall health and battery status. All this helps you keep

 your Inspire 1 in the air and flying for years to come.

POSITIONING

As it flies, the position of your Inspire 1 is constantly updated and recorded

 using a high-strength, intelligent GLONASS + GPS system. This dual

 positioning system enables higher precision and quicker satellite acquisition,

 allowing you to see where the aircraft is on a live map and giving it a point to

 hover at when you release the controls.

29
MAIN CONTROLLER

This is the "brain" of the entire system, receiving thousands of bits of data every

 second and translating that data into action as you fly. The Main Controller tells

 every part of your Inspire 1 what to do, calculates environmental conditions in

 real-time, and ensures that the aircraft responds to your control commands

 instantly.

IMU

Automatically keeping the Inspire 1 stable and steady during flight only looks

 easy, as DJI’s advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) handles everything.

 The IMU incorporates both a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer to

 monitor miniscule changes in tilt and movement. This allows the aircraft to

 compensate and adjust immediately, holding its position at all times.

30
FAILSAFE

All of these features combine to put your Inspire 1 on autopilot when needed. If

 the battery runs low or connection with your remote controller is lost, the

 Inspire 1 uses its positioning system and smart flight technology to return back

 to you.

31
HOVER IN PLACE WITHOUT GPS

You can take off and land at the press of a button and keep your Inspire 1

 steady indoors or when GPS satellites can’t be acquired with the new DJI Vision

 Positioning System.

THE COMBINED VISUAL DATA AND SONAR WAVES

DJI built the Vision Positioning System from the ground up, customizing it to meet the rigorous requirements in place

 for anything that handles position holding on our flying platforms.

This system combines visual data and sonar waves in a single unit, detecting both variance in patterns on the ground

 and current altitude. With this information, your Inspire 1 can hover in place and automatically raise or lower its arms

 as you liftoff or descend to the ground.

32
THE CPU CHIP

But the sonar and visual information is just one half of the fully integrated

 package: processing this information is handled by a dedicated CPU chip. This

 chip takes in feedback and outputs data in real-time, and is intelligent enough

 to distinguish between objects and ground patterns. All of this data is given to

 your Inspire 1’s flight controller, which in turn communicates with the entire

 aircraft.

PHANTOM 3 ADVANCED AIRCRAFT CAMERA REMOTE GO APP

55
EASY TO FLY

Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying

 remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing, it's

 completely under your control, responding to your

 commands while automatically handling the most

 complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

GPS-ASSISTED HOVER

Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its location

 and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the new

 availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time.

Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you

can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.

56
VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every

 sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a

 worry-free flight experience .

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGS

Your Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time,

 flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your

 fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your

 Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions or

 issues.

57
INTELLIGENT BATTERY

Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a

 vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight Battery

 has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status and

 remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3

 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of

 power needed to return, so you always know how long you can continue

 flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSION

Each motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best

 flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast ESCs

 to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive.

These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase or

 decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking

 mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as

 soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening

 propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.

58
INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

Follows Your Commands Instantly Orders Your Phantom 3 To Stop And Hover In

 Place When You Release The Control Sticks

Allows Customized Control Settings To Fit

 Your Preferences

Enables Your Phantom 3 To Return To You 

Whenever Needed

59
MAIN CONTROLLER

Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power. The

 Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects data

 from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your

 command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to

 tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.

IMU

INERTIAL

MEASUREMENT

UNIT

Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis

 gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at

 work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.

60
ESCs

ELECTRONIC

SPEED

CONTROLLERS

Motor speed is critical to flight, and each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs not only

 relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller, they also send commands back to the motors based on your

 input. This constant communication keeps your Phantom stable in flight, and also helps you achieve any flight movement,

 from gentle pans to rapid acceleration.

RETURN TO HOME

Bringing your Phantom 3 back to you is as simple as pressing a button on the remote or within the Pilot app. Your system automatically remembers* the point at which it took off, and returns

 and lands safely at this point when you command it to Return to Home.

61
 *When a sufficient GPS connection is available.

EASY TO FLY

Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying

 remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing,

 it's completely under your control, responding to your

 commands while automatically handling the most

 complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

GPS-ASSISTED HOVER

Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its

 location and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the

 new availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time.

Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you

can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.

77
VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from

 every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving

 you a worry-free flight experience .

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGS

78
Your Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time,

 flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your

 fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your

 Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions

 or issues.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY

Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a

 vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight

 Battery has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status

 and remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3

 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of

 power needed to return, so you always know how long you can

 continue flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSION

79
Each motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best

 flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast

 ESCs to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive.

These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase

 or decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking

 mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as

 soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening

 propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.

INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM

Whenever Needed

MAIN CONTROLLER

Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power.

 The Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects

 data from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your

 command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all

 to tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.

81
IMU

INERTIAL

MEASUREMENT

UNIT

Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis

 gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at

 work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.
