Flight Controller 

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based an 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 slores crucial flight data for each flight. 

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

 D P mode (Posilioning) : 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 

w 

-- Positioning sensors: 

 P-GPS: GPS and Vision Posilioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS fcr 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 Posifloning 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. Far more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

Use the Flight Controller mode switch lo change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer lo the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

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. 

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 

Home Point 1l0111 the GPS icon (%,illl ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

seiting, the Home Point will be updated to your current posifion as you 

move around and when the AircraH Status Indicator biinks green. 

Smart RTH 

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

RTH button in the Ddl Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircrafl 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 lhat 

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 

 D landing process.

~ Vision Positioning System 

~ 

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data lo 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 

ccmponents of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire i, 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 Posit3oning 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. 

16 02015DJ1.AliFi1hl,1n111l11u. 
INSPIREI UserManual 

Follow lhe 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. Nolice that lhe Vision Positioning system ; p 

cannot work properly an surfaces without pattern variations. ` 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft stalus 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. 

Q The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. Theultrasonic 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 Posilioning D 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of lhe following situalions: ° 

w 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure 61ack, 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). 

• Flyingoverwaterortransparentsurfaces. . 

• 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 palterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating pafterns 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 aII times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effecliveness 

of the sensors. 

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

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircra8 is flying over water. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

condHions (less than t001ux). 

• 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. - 

0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

Flight Recorder ~

temperature environments (those wilh air temperatures below 5"C). Ensure that the battery is fully 

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.35 V before each flight. 

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature environments (those with air 

temperatures below -10°C) is not recommended. When flying in environments with temperatures 

between 5°C and -10°C, the Intelligent Flight Battery shoutd be able to achieve the appropriate voltage 

levels (above 4.2 V), but it is recommended thatyou apply the included insulation stickerto the battery 

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures. 

3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warning' when flying in low temperature 

y environments, stop flying and land lhe aircraft immediately. You will still be able to control the aircraft's 

o movement when this warning is triggered. 

~ 4. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature envlronment and ensure that its temperature 

exceeds 5°C before using It in the low temperature environment. 

5. When using the Inspire 1 in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a 

low altitude, for approximately one minule, to heat the battery. 

6. To ensure optimum perrormance, keep the Intelligent Flight Battery's care temperature above 20°C 

when in use. 

In cold environments, insert the battery into the battery compartment and allow the aircraft lo 

warm up for approximately 1-2 minutes before taking off.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator lo learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure lhal all flights are carried out in a suitable localion. 

~~Fligtit'EnVitoiusieht RequireY ~ents '" ~ " - `' 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10mk , 

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 tlying 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. -n

Flight limits on height and distance can be sel. The details of these flight limits are described in the following 

section. 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (l operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (international Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and lheir 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 Iimits, distance limils 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 seffings 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.

No-Fly Zones 

AII 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-Aititude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

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

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

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, lhe flight altilude is limited on a 15 degree inciine, 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 wili appear 

in the DJI Pilot app.
