This chapter describes the features of
the Flight Controller, Vision System and
the Intelligent Flight Battery.
Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Inspire 2 ight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe
and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is
lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage
device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.
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 the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward
and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between
obstacles. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient, the maximum
ight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing are disabled, the maximum ight
attitude angle is 35°.
When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and
Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control
altitude.
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.
S-mode (Sport):
The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are
disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground
Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode.
Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick
movements.
A-mode (Attitude):
When neither the GPS nor the Vision System is available, the aircraft will only use its barometer
for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also
not available in A-mode.
The forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight path. Be vigilant and stay clear
of nearby obstacles.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless
conditions.
The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.
Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.
The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking
distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft.
The Inspire 2 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of
these LEDs are shown in the gure below:
Rear LEDFront LED
The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft
is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft (Front and rear LEDs can be turned off
in the DJI GO 4 app). The Aircraft Status Indicator communicates the system status of the ight
controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicator.

Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are
three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these
three scenarios in detail.
GPS
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is
the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is
Home Point
indicated by the GPS icon (
GPS signal.). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home
point is recorded.
The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and
lighting conditions are sufcient. The aircraft will automatically climb up to avoid obstacles and
descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it
cannot rotate or y left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is enabled.
Failsafe RTH
The Forward Vision System allows the aircraft to create a real-time map of its ight route as it ies. 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
aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original ight route home. The aircraft will hover for
10 seconds at its current location. When it regains signal connection it will wait for pilot commands.
The Return-to-Home process may be interrupted and the pilot given control of the aircraft if the
remote controller signal connection is re-established.

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies within a
65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately
return to the Home Point if you move the left stick if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters)
altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during Failsafe RTH if Forward Vision System is
disabled. It is important to set a suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI
GO 4 app, enter “Camera” and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.
User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from the
current altitude. However, user can press RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 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. Use the remote controller to control the
aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns,
it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe
route home. 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.
Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)
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 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning
is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a tensecond 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 DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:
Tap “Go-home” to have the
aircraft return to the Home
point and land automatically,
or “Cancel” to resume normal
flight. If no action is taken,
the aircraft will automatically
go home and land after 10
seconds. Remote controller
will sound an alarm.

Failsafe Safety Notices
The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH when
the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set
a suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO 4
app, enter Camera and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.
If the aircraft is ying under 65 feet (20 meters) and Failsafe (including
10 m
Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH ) is triggered, the aircraft will first
automatically ascend to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude.
You can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe.

Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point
if you move the left stick if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters)
altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.
Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak
( [
] displays less than four bars) or unavailable.
if you move the left stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet (20
meters) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will
stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.
Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that the
lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the
aircraft will act as follows:
1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 984 feet (300 meters) in
front, allowing it to plan a safe route home.
2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.
3.The aircraft stops and hover then start ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the
aircraft will stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.
4. Failsafe RTH procedure resume, the aircraft will continue ying to the Home Point at the current altitude.

The Obstacle Sensing function is disabled during RTH descent. Proceed with care.
To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate during RTH while the For-
ward Vision System is enabled.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles beside or behind the aircraft.
Landing Protection Function
Landing Protection will activate during auto landing.
1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the Inspire 2 will
land gently.
2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Inspire 2 will hover
and wait for pilot conrmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for
landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will the
aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft ight orientation.
3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Inspire 2
descends below 0.7 meters. Tap to conrm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when
the environment is appropriate for landing.
Landing Protection will not be active in the following circumstances:
When the user is controlling the pitch/roll/throttle sticks (Landing ground detection will
re-activate when control sticks are not in use)
When the positioning system is not fully functional (e.g. drift position error)
When the downward vision system needs re-calibration
When light conditions are not sufcient for the downward vision system
If an obstacle is within 1-meter of the aircraft, the aircraft will descend to 0.7m above the
ground and hover. The aircraft will land upon with user conrmation.
DO NOT guide the aircraft to y towards people, animals, small and ne objects (e.g. tree
branches and power lines) or transparent objects (e.g. glass or water).
Watch for the obstacles in the ight path and stay clear of them.
There may be deviations between the expected and the actual ight path of TapFly selection.
The selectable range for the target direction is limited. You cannot make a TapFly selection
close to the upper or lower edge of the screen.
TapFly Mode may not work properly when the aircraft is ying over water or snow covered areas.
Be extra cautions when ying in dark (< 300 lux ) or bright (>10,000 lux) environments.
Enable control stick control of the gimbal inside the DJI GO 4 app to control gimbal
orientation using the remote controller. When control sticks are in use, the gimbal will
automatically change into Free Mode. In this situation, the control stick used to control pitch
on the aircraft now controls gimbal pitch, and the control stick used to control aircraft roll
now controls gimbal pan. The left dial now controls ight speed.
After conrming the TapFly selection, the aircraft will y in the direction marked by the icon. Note that you
can still use the control stick to control the movement of the aircraft during the ight.

in open areas.
Exiting ActiveTrack
Use the following methods to exit ActiveTrack:
1. Tap the “ ” button on the screen.
OR
2. Press the Intelligent Flight Pause button on the remote controller.
After exiting ActiveTrack, the aircraft will hover in place, at which point you may choose to fly
manually, track another subject, or return to home.
Tripod Mode
Tap the icon in the DJI GO app to enable Tripod Mode. Tripod Mode reduces the Inspire 2’s
maximum speed (this can be adjusted in DJI GO 4 app), and the control stick sensitivity of the
remote controller is dulled to give you the precision you need for accurate framing. Tripod Mode
allow the Inspire 2 to be used as a rocker arm or slide rail as in this mode it can shoot smoother,
more stable footage.
Only use Tripod Mode where the GPS signal is strong or light conditions are ideal for
the vision system. If GPS signal is lost and the vision system cannot function, it will
automatically switch to Atti mode. In this case, ight speed will increase and the aircraft
cannot hover in place. Use Tripod Mode carefully.
Spotlight Pro
Spotlight Pro is a powerful new tracking mode that allows a single pilot to capture complex,
dramatic images. The gimbal will automatically adjust to keep the camera pointing at the subject.
Lock onto a subject in Spotlight Pro mode and the gimbal will capture the locked subject regardless
of the directions that the aircraft ies.
Quick Mode: Use your nger to draw a square around the object in to begin tracking.
Composition Mode: Use your nger to draw a square. When the subject enters the square, press
the C2 button to begin tracking. Press the C2 button again to stop tracking.
In Free mode, you can control the aircraft’s heading independently of the camera.
In Follow mode, the aircraft heading will be the same as that of the camera.
You can drag on a subject in the DJI GO 4 app or move the gimbal control sticks to
change the subject's position in the shot.
Aircraft auto spin is enabled by default in Free Mode. It spins the aircraft in the opposite
angle to gimbal rotation to avoid rotation limits during shooting.
Spotlight Pro can be used in S-Mode, A-Mode, TapFly Mode and Tripod Mode.
Vision System and Infrared Sensing System
The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the Inspire 2,
including [1] [2] two stereo vision sensors and [3] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision Sys tem uses
ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly
scans for obstacles, allowing the Inspire 2 to avoid them by going over, around, or hovering.
The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top side of the aircraft. These
scan for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain ight modes.
[1]

[3]
Detection Range
The detection range of the Vision System is depicted as follow. Note that the aircraft cannot sense
and avoid the obstacles that are not within the detection range.
The aircraft cannot detect objects in shadow. Fly carefully.
Ultrasonic sensor detection range is as follows.
Calibration
Forward and Downward Vision Systems cameras installed on the aircraft are calibrated on delivery.
However these cameras are vulnerable to excessive impact and will require occasional calibration
via DJI Assistant 2.
Calibration via the Visual Calibration Plate
1. Ensure the aircraft is in landing mode. Power on the Intelligent Flight Battery and toggle the USB
Mode Switch down.
2. Connect the Inspire 2 and the PC via a USB cable with Double A ports.
3. Launch DJI Assistant 2 and login with a DJI account.
4. Click Inspire 2 and the calibration button.
5. Place the side of visual calibration plate with the dots facing the forward vision system, and follow
the instructions in the DJI Assistant 2 to complete calibration.
6. Place the aircraft straight, and ensure the dotted side of the visual calibration plate faces the
downward vision system. Follow the instructions in the DJI Assistant 2 to complete calibration.
DO NOT power off or unplug the USB cable after calibration. Wait for data calculation.
Using Vision System
Vision System is activated automatically when the Inspire 2 is powered on. No manual action is
required. Vision System is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By
using the sensors on the Vision system, Inspire 2 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS
is available.
Follow the steps below to use Vision System:
1. Toggle the ight mode switch to P-mode.
2. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. Note that the Vision System cannot work
properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.
3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will ash green two times, which
indicates the Vision System is ready. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and
the aircraft will hover in place.
Powered by the Obstacle Sensing, the aircraft will now be able to actively brake when obstacles
are detected around the aircraft. Note that Obstacle Sensing function works best when lighting
is adequate and the obstacle is clearly marked or textured. The aircraft must y at no more than
31mph (50kph) to allow sufcient braking distance.
The forward vision system will be disabled after the landing gear lowers. Stay alert.
The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are affected by the surface
being own over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when
operating above 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 neither
GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with
great caution in the following situations:
a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).
b) Flying over a highly reective surfaces.
c) Flying at high speeds of over 31mph (50kph) at 2 meters or over 11mph (18kph) at 1
meter.
d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces.
e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects.
f) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.
h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).
i) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.
j) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling).
k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.
l) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reective surface.
m) DO NOT position the sides of two aircraft toward each other to avoid interference between
the 3D infrared modules.
n) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.
Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness.
Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.
The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.
The Vision System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light
conditions (less than 100 lux).
Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision System is in
operation.
Keep animals away from the aircraft when Vision System is activated. The sonar sensor
emits high frequency sounds that are audible to some animals.
Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight
telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access this data, connect the aircraft
to the PC through the USB port and launch the DJI Assistant 2.

temperature. Be very careful when ying at high altitudes, as the performance of the battery and
aircraft may be affected.
6. The compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will auto switch to A-mode and
use the Vision System for positioning.
Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones
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, ights 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 ight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft
altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .
Maximum ight altitude & Radius Limits
Maximum ight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO 4 app. Be aware that the
maximum ight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings,
your Inspire 2 will y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones
All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe/no-fly. No-Fly
Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying
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 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
Take-off 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
ight 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
1. Remote controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and mobile device are fully charged.
2. Propellers are mounted correctly and rmly.
3. Micro SD card has been inserted, if necessary.
4. Gimbal is functioning normally.
5. Motors can start and are functioning normally.
6. The DJI GO 4 app is successfully connected to the aircraft.
7. Ensure that the sensors for the Obstacle Sensing System are clean.
Calibrating the Compass
Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO 4 app or the status indicator prompt you to do so.
Observe the following rules when calibrating your compass:
DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference,
such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.
DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones.
The DJI GO 4 app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected
by strong interference after calibration is complete. Follow the prompted instructions to
resolve the compass issue.
Calibration Procedures
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.
1. Tap the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow the on-screen
instructions.
2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. The Aircraft Status Indicators will display a
solid green light.
3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the
center axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator glows blinking red.
If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move
your aircraft to a different location and try again.
DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars,
scaffolding.
If the aircraft status indicators are blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft
on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.
Auto Take-off and Auto Landing
Auto Takeoff
Use auto takeoff only if the Aircraft Status Indicators are blinking green. Follow the steps below to
use the auto takeoff feature:
1. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, and enter “Camera” page.
2. Complete all steps on the pre-ight checklist.
3. Tap“
4. Aircraft takes off and hovers at (1.2 meters) above ground.
Auto-Landing
Use auto-landing only if the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green. Follow the steps below to use
the auto-landing feature:
1. Tap on
”, and conrm that conditions are safe for ight. Slide the icon to conrm and takeoff.
Aircraft Status Indicator blinks rapidly when it is using the Vision System for stabilization.
The aircraft will automatically hover below 10 meters. It is recommended to wait until there
is sufcient GPS lock before using the Auto Take-off feature.
, to ensure the landing condition is ideal. Slide to conrm.
2. Abort landing process immediately by using the button on the screen.
3. a. When Landing Protection determines that the ground is suitable for landing, the Inspire 2 will
land gently.
b. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Inspire 2 will
hover and wait for pilot conrmation.
c. If Landing Protection is not operational, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when
the Inspire 2 descends below 0.7 meters. Pull down on the throttle or use the auto landing
slider to land.
4. Aircraft will land and turn off automatically.
Starting/Stopping the Motors
Starting Motors
A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors. Push both sticks to the bottom inner or outer corners to start the motors. Once the motors have started spinning, release both sticks
simultaneously.
OR
Stopping the Motors
There are two methods to stop the motors.
Method 1: When Inspire 2 has landed, push the left stick down , then conduct the same CSC that
was used to start the motors, as described above . Motors will stop immediately. Release both
sticks once motors stop.
Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push and hold the left stick down. The motors will stop
after three seconds.
Power on the remote controller and connect it with the DJI GO 4 app. A prompt will appear if a new
firmware upgrade is available. To start upgrading, connect a mobile device to the Internet and
follow the on-screen instructions.
The rmware update will take around 15 minutes. It is normal that the gimbal will go limp,
the aircraft status indicator blinks abnormally and the aircraft reboots. Wait patiently until
the update is complete.
Ensure the computer has access to the Internet.
Ensure the battery level is adequate for the remote controller.
Do not disconnect the aircraft from the computer during rmware upgrade.
