Flight Controller

The Inspire 1 Pro’s ight controller is based on DJI ight controller with several enhancements such as new ight 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

ight recorder stores crucial ight data for each ight.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight 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 Pro 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

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on P29 for more information.

Return to Home (RTH)

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.

Description

Home Point

GPS

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 ( ). 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.

Smart RTH

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P30 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI GO 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.

INSPIRE 1 PRO User Manual

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 GO 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.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below

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

Vision Positioning System

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 Pro can hover in place more precisely and y 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 Pro, including [1]two

sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

[2]

[1]

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 Pro 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 Pro can perform precision hovering even

when no GPS is available.

Page 19

INSPIRE 1 PRO User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the gure to the right:

2. Place the Inspire 1 Pro on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations.

3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. The aircraft status indicator will ash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 Pro will hover in place.

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

ying 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 reective 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 deect 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 ying over water.

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

conditions (less than 100lux).

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.

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.

This chapter describes the flight safety

and ight restrictions.

Page 50

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the ight simulator to learn how to y safely. Ensure that all ights are carried out in a suitable location.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , snow, rain and smog.

2. Only y 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 ying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft

performance may be reduced.

6. The Inspire 1 Pro cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these ight 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 ight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The ight 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 ight. In A mode only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limit ying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 Pro will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI ofcial website at http://www.dji.com/ysafe/no-y. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and ying elds 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 ight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the ight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The ight 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 GO app.
