# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1 's flight controller is based on OJI 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. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: 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 GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATTI: NeitherGPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for 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 barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe 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. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

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

### §.. INSPIRE 1 User Manual Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the OJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraftwill land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraftto land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described 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 1can 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.

__________j 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 1can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available. 

# y

'=" 

### 16 ,-, · ..INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1on aflat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properlyon surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power oo 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, andthe Inspire 1will hover in place. 

# Lh 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 not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. 

### Sooperate the aircraftcautiouslywhen in anyofthe 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 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark(lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thickcarpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. 

## :JV: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying overwater. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequencyof 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system 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 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 Right data is automatically recorded to the SO card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

## Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicates the rotation direction of the propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly, match the nutwith the dots on the motors ofyour Inspire 1:

. 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, highvoltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 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 carefulwhen 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 and Flight RestrictionArea Right limits on height and distance can be set. The details ofthese 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 limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Ry Zones
. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Ry Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flightscannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### 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 1will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show thedetails of these limits.

### 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. CategoryASafetyZone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude 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 adesignated safety zone is ano-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 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km). (4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safetyzone, awarning message will appear on the OJI Pilot App.
