operations will adhere to the Reform Act's safety requirements. The approval ofthis application presents no national security issues. Regarding the level of safetysurrounding the proposed operations and the public benefit, reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to reduced emissions and noise, the grant ofthe requested exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly, the applicant graciously requests thatthe FAA grantthe requested exemption. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

The operation limitations proposed for an equivalent or higher level of safety because operations will further enhance the safety ofthe persons and/or property using conventional aircraft. These limitations and conditions to which the applicant agrees to adhere to when conducting commercial operations underthe FAA issued exemption as setforth in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) include:

1.The UAS will weigh significantly less than 55 lbs. It weighs less than 4 pounds with battery and camera.

2. The UAS, depending on the model in operation, will have a maximum operating speed of no more than 50mph.

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight ofthe Pilot in Command (PIC) and/or Visual Observer (VO).

4. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be depending on the UAS model in operation, but will not exceed 30 minutes. Flights will be terminated at25% battery power reserve or 30 minutes offlight time whichever occurs first.

5. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and not morethan 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. 6. Minimum crewfor each operation will consist ofthe UAS Pilot and at least one Visual Observer (VO), and may include a third, but separate, Camera Operator (CO).

### 7. The UAS 

### pilot will be a designated Pilot in Command (PIC)

.The PIC 

### will have logged a minimum of 20 hours on the designated UAS. 

### 8. A safety briefing will be performed priorto each day's flights consisting of all the days' Production activities. 9. All flight activities will be logged. 10. All flights will occur under Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) only. 11. The flights will occur in Class G airspace no closerthan a Smile radius ofthe geographic center/Airport Reference Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or uncontrolled airport. 12. Flights will not be closerthan a 5 mile radius ofthe geographic center/Airport.

13. The operator will do a pre check of aircraft priorto each flight. And log each flight. 14. The operatorwill obtain verbal/written consent of all persons involved with the planned operation and ensure that onlyconsenting persons will be allowed within 100 feet ofthe flight operation, and the radius may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an equivalent level of safety determination, as U.S. 

### Department ofTransportation required underthe FOM. With the advanced permission ofthe FSDO, 

### operations at closer range may be approved.

15. The PIC 

### and VO will have been trained in operation of UAS 

### and receive up to date information for the particular UAS

### to be operated.

16. The PIC 

### and VO will be able to communicate byvoice and/or radio at all times.

17. The PIC will abide byall rules 18. Ifthe UAS 

### loses communications with the remote controller or loses GPS 

### signal, the UAS 

### will have the capabilityto return to a predetermined location within a designated location and land autonomously.

19. The UAS

### will havethe capabilityto abort a flight in case of emergencies with an automated "Return Home and Land" function.

20. The UAS

### will havethe capabilityto abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles, weather, or emergencies such as low battery.

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: 

### Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) Subpart H, 

### entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of

### airworthiness certificates as required by FAR 

### §91.203 (a) (1). Given the size and limited operating area associated with the aircraftto be utilized bythe Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAA 

### to exempt aircraftfrom the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximityto airports and populated areas ofthe particular UAS. 

### In all cases, an analysis ofthese criteria demonstrates thatthe UAS 

### operated without an airworthiness certificate in the restricted environment and underthe conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The UAS

### to be operated hereunder is less than 551bs. fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusivelywithin a secured and designated area. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations underthis exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the operatorand underthe requirements and in compliance with local public safety requirements. These safety enhancements provide a greaterdegree of safetyto the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. 

### Part 

### 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application ofthese same criteria demonstratesthatthere is no credible threatto national security posed bythe UAS, 

### due to its size, speed of operation, location ofoperation, lack of explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and inabilityto carry a substantial external load. 14 C.F.R. §

### 45.23 (b). Marking ofthe Aircraft The regulation requires: When marks include onlythe Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionallycertificated aircraft, the operator must also displayon that aircraft neareach entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited! "restricted! "light sportf "experimental! or "provisional! as applicable 14 C.F.R. §

### 45.23 (b). Marking ofthe Aircraft The regulation requires: When marks include onlythe Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also displayon that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited! "restricted! "light sportf "experimental! or "provisional! as applicable. Even though the UAS 

### will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS

### will have no entranceto the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can be placed. Given the size ofthe UAS, 

### two inch lettering will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29 (f). 

## us Department ofTransportation February20, 

### 2015 The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the UAS 

### marked on its fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the UAS 

### will see the identification ofthe UAS 

### as "Experimental." 14 C.F.R. 

### § 61.113 (a) and (b The proposed UAS 

### operations may achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current Regulations because the applicant's UAS

### do notcarry any pilots or passengers nor property. The risks attendantto the It is believed thatthe operation and limitations setforth in the FOM will equate to the safe operation ofthe UAS. 

### 14 C.F.R. 

### §91.7{a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness. The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthinesscertificate issued forthe aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will existfor determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraftfor maintenance and use of safety checklists priorto each flight, an equivalent level of safetywill be provided. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) {2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. Section 91.9 (b) {2) provides: No person mayoperate a U.S.registered civil aircraft

... (2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 ofthis chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or anycombination thereof. The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carrysuch a flight manual on the aircraft, not only becausethere is no pilot on board, but because there is no room orcapacityto carry such an item on the aircraft. The equivalent level ofsafetywill be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control pointwhere the pilotflying the UAS will have immediate access to it.
14 C.F.R. § 91.103: PreflightAction. This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safetyofflight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided forthe aircraft an exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions as stated in the FOM in Section 4 under Normal Procedures including but not limited to reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation offlight 14 C.F.R. §91.109: Flight Instruction. Section 91.103 provides that no person mayoperate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fullyfunctioning dual controls. UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, bytheir design do not have fullyfunctional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. the FAA has approved exemptions for flight training withoutfully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. The equivalent level of safety is provided bythe fact that neithera pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and bythe size and speed ofthe aircraft. 14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation ofcivil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicoptercomplies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters bythe FAA. As this exemption is for a UAS that is a helicopter and the exemption requests authorityto operate at altitudes upto 400 AGL, or not more than 200 above an elevated platform from which filming is planned, an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As setforth herein, the UAS will never operate at higherthan 400 AGL with the exception that in circumstances where the UAS is used to survey or photograph a structure whose height exceeds 400 feet AGL, the UAS will not be operated more than 200 feet above the highest point on the structure. Itwill however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations withouttheir pre obtained consent. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed ofthe UAS as well as the location where it is operated. No flight will be taken withoutthe permission ofthe property owner or local officials. Because ofthe advance notice to the propertyownerand participants in the filming activity, all affected individuals will be aware of the planned flight operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far morethan the maximum SSibs. proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating ator below 500 AGL. In addition, the low altitude operations ofthe UAS will ensure separation between these UAS operations and the operations ofconventional aircraftthat mustcomplywith Section 91.119. 14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings. This regulation requires each person operating an aircraftto maintain cruising

### altitude by reference to an altimeterthat is set "

...tothe elevation ofthe departure airport oran appropriate altimeter setting available before departure." As

### the UAS 

### may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS 

### altitude read out, an U.S. 

### exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved bythe operator, pursuantto the safetycheck list a!)d live flight data monitoring, confirming the altitude ofthe launch site shown on the GPS 

### altitude indicator before flight. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to flyto the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly after that for at least30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthatfor at least45 minutes."The applicant believes that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. Operating the UAS 

### in a tightly controlled area where only people and propertyowners orofficial representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed does not engenderthe type of risks that Section 91.151(a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed ofthe small UAS. 

### The applicant believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 30 minutes or 25% of battery power- whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS

### to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area.

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Exceptas provided in§ 91.715, no person mayoperate a civil aircraft unless it has within itthe following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate

.... (b) No person mayoperate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) ofthis section ora special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is

### displayed at the cabin orcockpit entrance so

### that it is legible to passengers orcrew. The UAS 

### fully loaded weighs well underthe proposed 551b limit and is operated without an onboard pilot. As 

### such, there is 

### no abilityor place to carry certification and registration documents orto displaythem on the UAS. 

### An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved by keeping these documents atthe ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS

### will have immediate access to them, to the extentthey are applicable to the UAS. 

### 14C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & 

### (b): Maintenance Inspections. These regulations require that an aircraft operator orowner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E ofthis part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 ofthis chapter

...," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that these sections and Part 43 applyonlyto aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not applyto the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished bythe operator pursuantto the flight manual and operating handbook. An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved because the UAS is

### very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for a limited period oftime. If mechanical issues arise the UAS 

### can land immediatelyand will be operating from no higherthan 400 feet AGL. 

### The operatorwill ensure thatthe UAS is 

### in working order priorto initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is 

### the person most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the UAS 

### Manufacturer's User Manual. As 

### provided in the FOM, and a link on last page, the operator will ensure thatthe UAS 

### is in working order priorto initiating flight and perform required maintenance needed.

### Additional Information. The applicant William ArthurWilson Jrbelieves this exemption request and associated safety considerations adequately satisfy criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012, providing sufficientjustification for the granting of commercial operations ofthe applicant's UAS.


### The applicant, WilliamArthurWilsonJrrequests your respective approval of this Section 3 exemption petition request

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Please notifyWilliam ArthurWilson Jrofyour actions, and or approvals. Thank you, for your interest in this request.

Sincerely,

# Aircraft
This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

1Q © 2015 DJI All Rights Res(wed

## Aircraft

The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controllerfeatures several important upgrades, including a newflight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return ofyour aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The newflight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Threeflight modesare available. The detailsofeach flight mode arefound below: ? P-mode (Positioning) : P-rnode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states 

### Q of P-rnode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal §. strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used forstabilization. The aircraftonly uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refertothe IOC section inthe Appendix. 

### jJ: Use the FlightController modeswitch to changetheflight mode ofthe aircraft, refertothe "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information.

The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEOs are shown in thefigure below:

Aircraft Status Indicator
Front LED

The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status oftheflight controller. Refertothetable belowfor more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

Home Point If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (**~**

### ,un). The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidlywhenthe home point is recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button againto terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a pointthat mayaffectthe safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return tothe Horne Point if no action is taken after aten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds forthese warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distancefrom the Home Point.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the OJI GO app, and is described below:

meters (65 feet) radius ofthe Home Point. Aircraftwill stop ascending and immediately return to the Horne Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. •The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is importantto set an

suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter "Camera" and select "MODE >Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode" to setthe Failsafe altitude. • User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to its failsafe altitude. However

the user can rapidly toggle S1 switch to regain control to cancel the ascending.

The OJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.

14 @201b DJJ Ali R:ghts Rnscrv0dPhantom 3 Professional User Manual

Using Vision Positioning [1] [2]

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS ?. is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 

## o Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

### ~

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

# 0

1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. ; P 2. Place the aircraft on aflat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork '.

properlyon surfaceswithout clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle upto lift off and the aircraftwill hover in place. 

### 6 The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure green). • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters orover 4 m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfacesorobjects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changesfrequently or drastically. • Flying overextremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying oversurfaces without clear patternsortexture. • Flying oversurfaceswith identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tileswith the same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft.

Various factors contribute to the aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue by following the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 secondsto resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attempt to power on the aircraft in this scenario.

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 ofyour 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.

### 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 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on 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 lift off, andthe Inspire 1will hover in place. 

# & 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. So operate the aircraft cautiouslywhen in any ofthe 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 at2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) 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 same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 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 is from 0to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 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 data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

### Optimal Transmission Range The signal transmission between aircraft and remote controller perform best within the range that displayed in the picture shown below:

Optimal Transmission Range

Strong Weak



### Ensure the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position between the operatorand the aircraftto achieve optimal transmission performance.

More than one remote controller can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Remote Controller mode. In Dual Controllers mode, the "Master" remote controller operator controls the orientation ofthe aircraft, while the "Slave" remote controller controls the movement ofthe gimbal and camera operation. When multiple "slave" remote controllers (max of 6) are connect to the aircraft, only the first connected "slave" remote controller is ableto control the gimbal, the remaining "slave" remote controller can viewthe live feed video from the aircraft and setthe camera parameters, butthey cannot control the gimbal.

# Flight
This chapter describes the flight safety and flight restrictions.

# Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable 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 environmentfactor 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 operatewithin the polarareas in "P" mode.

Flight 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 Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogether to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot 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 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables belowshowthe details ofthese limits.

### No-FlyZones All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. The details ofthe No-FlyZones are explained below: Airport: (1) 

### Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised ofTakeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each zone features circles ofvarious size. (2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is aTakeoff Restricted Zone, inside ofwhich take-off and flight is prevented. (3} From R1 to R1 + 1mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1
