operations will adhere to the Reform Act's safety requirements. The approval of this application 

presents no national security issues. Regarding the level of safety surrounding the proposed 

operations and the public benefit, reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to 

reduced emissions and noise, the grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest. 

Accordingly, the applicant graciously requests that the FAA grant the 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 of the persons and/or property using conventional aircraft. These 

limitations and conditions to which the applicant agrees to adhere to when conducting commercial 

operations under the FAA issued exemption as set forth 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 of the 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 at 25% battery power reserve 

or 30 minutes of flight time whichever occurs first. 

5. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and 

not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. 

6. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the 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 prior to each day's flights consisting of all the days' 

Production activities. 

9. All flight activities will be logged. 

1 0. All flights will occur under Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) only. 

11. The flights will occur in Class G airspace no closer than a Smile radius of the geographic 

center/Airport Reference Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or uncontrolled airport. 

12. Flights will not be closer than a 5 mile radius of the geographic center/Airport. 

13. The operator will do a pre check of aircraft prior to each flight. And log each flight. 

14. The operator will obtain verbal/written consent of all persons involved with the planned 

operation and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 1 00 feet of the flight 

operation, and the radius may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an equivalent level of safety 

determination, as U.S. Department of Transportation required under the FOM. With the advanced 

permission of the 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 by voice and/or radio at all times. 

17. The PIC will abide by all rules 

18. If the UAS loses communications with the remote controller or loses GPS signal, the UAS 

will have the capability to return to a predetermined 

location within a designated location and 

land autonomously. 

19. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of emergencies with an 

automated "Return Home and Land" function. 

20. The UAS will have the capability to 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 aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 

Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 

of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 

333 of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an 

airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and 

proximity to airports and populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis 

of these criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate in 

the restricted environment and under the 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 

or flammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively within a secured and designated area. 

Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored 

by both the operator and under the requirements and in compliance with local public safety 

requirements. These safety enhancements provide a greater degree of safety to the public and 

property owners than conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued 

under 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application of these same 

criteria demonstrates that there is no credible threat to national security posed by the UAS, due to 

its size, speed of operation, location of operation, lack of explosive materials or flammable liquid 

fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load. 14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the 

Aircraft The regulation requires: When marks include only the 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 display on 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 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft The regulation requires: When marks include only the 

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 display on 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 

entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can be placed. 

Given the size of the UAS, two inch 

lettering will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance 

with §45.29 (f). us Department of Transportation February 20, 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 of the 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 not carry any pilots or passengers nor property. The risks attendant to the 

It is believed that the operation and limitations set forth in the FOM will equate to the safe 

operation of the 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 airworthiness 
certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard 

will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size of the aircraft for maintenance and use of 

safety checklists prior to each flight, an equivalent level of safety will 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 may operate a U.S.registered 

civil aircraft ... (2) For which an Airplane 

or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the 

aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, 

markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. The UAS, given its size and configuration has 

no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot 

on board, but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The 

equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control 

point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to it. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action. This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain 

actions before flight to insure the safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not 

be provided for the 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 of flight 

14 C.F.R. §91.1 09: Flight Instruction. Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a 

civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that 

aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design 

do not have fully functional 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 without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft and for 

flight instruction in experimental aircraft. The equivalent level of safety is provided by the fact that 

neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the size and speed of the 

aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for 

operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicopters to be operated at less than the 

minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route or 

altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this exemption is for a UAS that is a helicopter 

and the exemption requests authority to operate at altitudes up to 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 set forth herein, the UAS will never operate at higher than 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. It will however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, 

where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre obtained consent. 

The equivalent level of safety will be achieved 

given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS as well as the location where it is operated. No flight 

will be taken without the permission of the property owner or local officials. Because of the 

advance notice to the property owner and 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 more than 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 at or below 500 AGL. In addition, the low altitude 

operations of the UAS will ensure separation between these UAS operations and 

the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 91.119. 14 C.F.R. §91.121 

Altimeter Settings. This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising 
altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set " ... to the elevation of the departure airport or an 

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 safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the safety check list a!)d live flight 

data monitoring, confirming the altitude of the 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 fly to the first 

point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly after 

that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 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 property owners or official 

representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed does not engender the type of risks that 

Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of the 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) Except as provided in§ 91.715, no person may operate a civil 

aircraft unless it has within it the following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate 

.... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by 

paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at 

the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. The UAS fully loaded 

weighs well under the proposed 551b 

limit and is operated without an on board pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry 

certification and registration documents or to display them on the UAS. An equivalent level of 

safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the pilot 

flying the UAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they 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 or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as 

prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in 

paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this 

chapter ... ," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that 

these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sections 

will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator pursuant to the 

flight manual and operating handbook. An equivalent level of safety will 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 of time. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be 

operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL. The operator will ensure that the UAS is in working 

order prior to 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 that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight and perform required 

maintenance needed. 
Additional Information. 

The applicant William Arthur Wilson Jr believes this exemption request and 

associated 

safety considerations adequately satisfy criteria provided in Section 333 of the 

Reform Act of 2012, providing sufficient justification for the granting of 

commercial operations of the applicant's 

UAS.

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 controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight 

mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your 

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 new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air 

braking feature. 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found 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 GPS for positioning. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is 

using only the 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 for stabilization. The aircraft only uses 

its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and 

the Home Point was recorded successfully. 

F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix. 

jJ: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "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 the figure 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 of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the 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 

indicator will blink rapidly when the 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 aircraft will 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 again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI 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 prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The 

aircraft will automatically return to the Horne Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The 

user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds 

for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from 

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:

'\I: • When Critical battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically, 

you may push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an 

opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location. 

• The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated 

remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft's current location 

and status. 

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will 

be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Returnto-Horne process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote 

controller signal connection is re-established.

& • Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ~r1i'] displays grey) or 

unavailable. 

• Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 20 

meters (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will 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 important to set an 

suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter "Camera" and 

select "MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode" to set the 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.

Phantom 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 a flat surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot work '. 

properly on surfaces without 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 up to lift off and the aircraft will 

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, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Flying at high speeds( over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter). 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where 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. thick carpet). 

• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design). 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the OJI GO 

app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open 

area. 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 rn/s, 

snow, rain and fog. 

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations 

and radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and 

temperature. Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea 

!! level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected. 

3' 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas. r 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and 

regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, 

which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance 

limits, and No-Fly Zones. 

When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to 

manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft 

altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) . 

Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits 

Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum 

flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 

Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones 

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 border lines between countries or sensitive 

institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow: 

Airport 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various sizes. 

(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented. 

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination. 

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 + 1 mile 

(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

on the OJI GO app.

Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

What is the difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced? 

The biggest difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced is in the 

camera. The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting spectacular 4K video at up to 30 frames per 

second, and the Phantom 3 Advanced is capable of shooting at resolutions up to 1080p60. Both models 

shoot 12 megapixel photos. 

The other main difference is the Intelligent Flight Battery charger. The Phantom 3 Advanced comes with a 

57-watt charging unit and the Phantom 3 Professional comes with a 100-watt charger, the latter of which 

allows for shorter charging times. 

Can I remove the camera and attach my own? 

No. The cameras that come with both models are permanently attached. Attempting to remove, replace, or 

modify the camera may damage the product and will void your warranty. 

Can I charge my Remote Controller and Intelligent Flight Battery at the same time? 

While the Remote Controller charger and Intelligent Flight Battery charger have been integrated into one 

unit for your convenience, it is recommended that you only charge one item at a time. We recommend that 

you never charge both items using the same charger at the same time. 

What are the buttons on the back of my Remote Controller for? 

The two buttons on the back of the Remote Controller can be customized and assigned to function as you 

choose through the DJI GO app. Refer to the manual for more information. 

How far can I fly my Phantom 3? 

The signal transmission distance will vary depending on environmental conditions, but the Phantom 3 

series can reach distances of up to 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away from the pilot. 

What app should I use with my Phantom 3? 

The Phantom 3 is compatible with the DJI GO app for iOS and Android, which is already used with the DJI 

Inspire. The app will detect which aircraft is connected and automatically adjust accordingly. 

Which mobile devices are compatible with the app? 

The DJI GO app is only compatible with devices running iOS 8.0 or later or Android v4.1.2 or later. 

The following devices are recommended: 

iOS: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad Air Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi 

+ Cellular, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad mini 3, and iPad mini 3 Wi-Fi + Cellular. This app is 

optimized for iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus 

Android: Samsung S5, Note 3, Sony Z3 EXPERIA, Google Nexus 7 II, Google Nexus 9, Mi 3, Nubia Z7 mini 

Support for additional Android devices will become available as testing and development continues.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

How do I use the Director automatic video editor? 

Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI GO app. After recording several video clips, simply 

tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of 

clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately. 

How do I change the control mode of my Phantom 3? 

By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the 

movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These 

controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI GO app. This is only 

recommended for advanced users. 

Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controller with the Phantom 3? 

No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller 

operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz. 

Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3? 

No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has 

a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and a voltage of 15.2 V. 

My Phantom 3 does not turn off right away, is something wrong? 

This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few 

seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or 

corrupted. 

Do I have to buy the Remote Controller separately? 

No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller 

that is already linked to the aircraft. 

Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers? 

No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same 

time. 

What does the "P, A, F" switch on the Remote Controller do? 

This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight modes: 

P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and 

your Phantom 3 will attempt to stabilize using both. 

In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the 

barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS 

signal is available. 

F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC 

section in the Appendix of the User Manual. 

By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other 

modes. 

50 © 2015 DJI All Rights Reserved 
Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

What is the Phantom 3 flight time? 

Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight 

Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged. 

How can I restore a video file if the power is turned off during recording? 

Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera. 

Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored. 

How can I ensure that my pictures and videos will be synchronized to my iOS album? 

You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy tab, 

select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the OJI GO app icon. If the GO app has not been 

granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized. 

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible? 

Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the 

ground. 

Why is the discharge time of the battery not zero, even though I have never used it? 

Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new 

battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use. 

Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller? 

No, it cannot. 

How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error? 

A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. 

power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error 

occurs and the OJI GO app will display one of the following messages: 

• Compass error, calibration required 

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended 

to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. 

• Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode 

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude 

to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will 

automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch 

back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed. 

How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? 

If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: 

• The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the 

flat surface. 

• The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error". 

• No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal.

Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

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 seconds to 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.

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 data for each flight. 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending 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-ATII: Neither GPS 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 a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the 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 of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEOs are shown in the figure below: 

Front LED Rear LED 

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the 

Rear LED displays solid green. 

Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases 

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

Home Point 

Smart RTH 

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( ~.uU ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain the control.

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI 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. 

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground 

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the 

landing process.

• Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator reflect estimated remaining flight time 

and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft's current status. 

Failsafe RTH 

Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for 

more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working 

normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if 

a remote controller signal is resumed.

reasonable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter "Camera" 

view and select "MODE" to set the Failsafe altitude. 

• Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle 

stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. 

Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in 

motion and require a Home Point that is different from the 

takeoff point. GPS module is located at the position shown in

There are two options for Dynamic Home Point. 

1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point. 

2. Set the remote controller's coordinate as the new Home Point. 

Setting Up Dynamic Home Point 

Follow the steps below to setup Dynamic Home Point: 

1. Connect to the mobile device and launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the "Camera" page. 

2. Tap"9"and select"8", to reset the remote controller's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

3. Tap"9"and select"4.f", to reset the aircraft's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set successfully. 

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 monocular camera. 

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.

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 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work 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, and the Inspire 1 will 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 cautiously when in any of the 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 1 meter). 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where 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 or texture. 

• 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. 

• 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 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when 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 (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending 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: Neither GPS 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 a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

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 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 careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced. 

6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these 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 work together to manage flight. In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 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 below show the details of these limits.

range automatically. 

No-Fly Zones 

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 of the No-Fly Zones are explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3} From R1 to R1 + 1 mile 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 + 1 mile. 

(4} When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

in the DJI Pilot app. 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

1.- R 1 _____., 

+----------- R2-------------. No-fly zone Restricted-altitude flight zone Warning zone 

Restricted Areas: 

(1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight altitude restriction. 

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within 

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area. 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1 

km) of this zone, a warning message will appear in the OJI Pilot app.

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery. 

Updating the Aircraft Firmware 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100MB of free space on 

the SO card. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package 

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/ 

phantom-3/download). 

2. Insert the SO card into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SO card. 

Remove the SO card from your PC. Ensure the aircraft is powered off then insert the SO card into the 

SO card slot on the camera. 

Step 3- Update the Aircraft 

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera status indicator 

will blink green and red to indicate the upgrade is in progress and stop blinking when the update is 

complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the ".txt" file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text "result: successful" is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text "result: failed" is found or the camera status indicator shows solid red. 

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware 

Ensure the DJI GO app has been updated to v1.2.0 before updating the remote controller. The 

System Status bar in Camera View of the OJI GO App will flash several times if a firmware update is 

available. Follow these steps to update the firmware via the OJI GO App. 

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity 

1. The remote controller has at least 50% battery level. 

2. Your mobile device is able to access the internet. 

3. There is at least 30 MB of free space on your mobile device. 

Step 2- Download and Update the Firmware 

1. Go to the DJI GO App > Camera View > System Status bar > Overall Status. Tap Download the 

firmware update package to download and update the firmware. Track the update progress from 

progress bar in the OJI GO App. The status LED on the remote controller will blink blue during update 

and blink green when update is complete with success. 

Firmware update through the DJI GO app will not work with older versions of the remote controller 

firmware. If the firmware update fails, follow the instructions below to update the firmware using the 

traditional method: 

a. Update the latest firmware package files from DJI official web site.

b. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SO card or USB flash drive. 

c. Turn off the remote controller, Insert the SO card into a SO card reader or the USB disk onto the 

remote controller USB port when remote controller is turned off. 

d. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off 

the remote controller during the update. 

e. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound 

a beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the 

update is in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping 

sound will stop if the upgrade is completed with success. 

f . If you do not have a SO card reader, you may insert the SO card into the gimbal and connect the 

gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller. 

,& You will only be able to update the remote controller firmware through the DJI GO app from 

this point onwards. 

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware 

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft firmware upgrade process. It is recommended 

to keep the upgrade package files in your SO card. The upgrade will start automatically after power 

cycling the aircraft. 

,& • Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SO card. 

• Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for 

aircraft and remote controller firmware updates. 

• Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the firmware 

update package. 

• Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the firmware, as any incoming 

calls may disrupt the update process. 

• Do not perform firmware update while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

• Be sure to update the remote controller's firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the 

aircraft's firmware. 

• The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote 

controller and aircraft. 

• Confirm the update results based on the blinking pattern of camera status indicator or gimbal 

sound. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the LED to blink during the update process.
