# Aircraft

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 datafor each flight.

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found inthe section below: Pmode (Positioning) : Pmodeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automaticallyselected bythe Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and 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-ATil: NeitherGPS orVision 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 aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, referto the IOC in Appendix. 

# o\): Usethe Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27for more information.

The INSPIRE 1comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

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 monocularcamera.

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.

### Manual
Follow the steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on aflat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

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

which indicates the Vision Positioning systern is ready.**Gen~y** 

### push the throttle up to liftoff, and the Inspire 1will hoverin place. 

# & The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonicwaves 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 aircraft cautiouslywhen in anyofthe following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2meters orover 4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying overextremely dark (lux< 1 O) or bright (lux > 1 0,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with sarne design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hoverfor 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 ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft isfrom 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use**o~er** 

### ultrasonic devices with frequency of40 KHz when Vision Positioning systern is

in operation. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

# 0 Keep the animals away frorn the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is onlyaudibleto some anirnals.

Flight data is automatically recorded to the SD card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

Pmode (Positioning) : Pmode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and 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 GPS orVision 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 aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, referto the IOC in Appendix. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensurethat all flights are carried out in asuitable location.

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, 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 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode.

Flight limits on heightand distance can be set. The details ofthese flight limits are described in the following section.

# Fly

# Safe

• Calibrating the Compass Make sure to calibrate the compass in every newflight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poorflight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. Recalibrate the compass when: a) The Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. b)

**F~ing** in a new location. • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking

structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOTcarryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys orcellular phones. • DO NOTcalibrate beside massive metal objects. • Ifthe Flight Status LED is showing solid red, then trytocalibrate again. If it is blinking red and yellow alternatelyafterplacing

the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.


### • P Mode: Safe to fly. In this mode, the Inspire 1 has astrong GPS signal and can usetheVision Positioning System allowing itto hoveraccurately in position indoors and out. Ifoutdoors, this mode also meansthata Home Point has been locked so that it can Return to Home ifthe control signal is lost. Ifyou are not in this mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to Pposition to enable it. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode bydefault. Refer to the User Manual on howto unlockthe switch. There arethree states in Pmode. P-GPS: GPS works bestwhen outdoors in awide open area, and your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS signal is strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning System available, aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is controlled. NotethattheVision Positioning System may notworkproperlywhen the Inspire 1isflying overwater, oversurfaceswithoutaclear pattern, or in alow light environment.

## t The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in the following cases (all require astrong GPS signal). Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the remote controller orintheApp. Low Battery RTH: The DJI Pilot app notifies userstotake action when the battery levelfalls to aspecified threshold. Failsafe RTH: When the remote controllersignal is lost.

### • Environmental Considerations: 

# ®

.

.

.

1. Do notfly in severe weather conditions. This includes high wind, snow, rain and smog.

2.

**On~**fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures mayaffectthe accuracyofthe onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile

phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5.Aircraft and batteryperformance is subjectto environmentalfactors such as airdensityandtemperature. Beverycareful when

flying 14700feet (4500 meters) ormore above sea level as batteryand aircraft performance may be reduced. 6.The Inspire 1cannot operate in Pmodeoruse GPS at polar latitudes. Itonlycanflyin A Til modeand usetheVision Positioning System.
