Flight Controller

The Mavic Pro aircraft comprise of a ight controller, video downlink , propulsion system and a Intelligent Flight Battery. This section introduces the features of the ight controller, video downlink and the rest of

the component of the aircraft.

Flight Mode

The following ight modes are available for Mavic Pro:

P-mode (Positioning):

P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and

Forward and Downward Vision System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between obstacles or track a moving object. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode. Note that handling gain values are reduced in P-mode.

S-mode(Sport):

The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. Handling gain values of the aircraft are

also adjusted in order to enhance manoeuvrability and increase the maximum ight

speed. Since Forward and Downward Vision System is disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacle in S-mode.

The aircraft will automatically switch to ATTI mode when the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision System. The aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude.

The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will not be able to automatically avoid obstacles on its route.

The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode

(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 20 meters is required in windless conditions.

The descending speed is signicantly increased in S-mode(Sport). A minimum breaking

distance of 20 meters is required in windless conditions.

The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly 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.

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

“Flight Mode Switch” on Page 34 for more information. Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on Page 34 for more information.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

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.

GPS

Description

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 ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Failsafe RTH

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-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal connection is re-established.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH when Forward Vision System is

disabled, therefore, it is important to set an suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. 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,

user can press RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.

Aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when Forward Vision System is enabled and the lighting

conditions is sufcient. The aircraft will automatically climb up to avoid obstacle and y to the

Home Point at the new altitude.

location and status.

Precision Landing

The aircraft will automatically scan and attempt to match the terrain features underneath during RTH. As

soon as the current terrain features are match with the home point terrain features, the aircraft will start

landing immediately, in the attempt to achieve precision landing. The DJI GO app will prompt terrain

feature matching failure, if the matching is failed.

The performance of Precision Landing is subject to the following conditions:

a. Home point is recorded upon take off, and it will not be refreshed during the ight.

b. Aircraft must take off vertically and the take off altitude is greater than 7 meters. c. Home point terrain feature remains largely unchanged. d. Home point terrain with no distinctive feature will affect the performance. e. Light condition cannot be too light nor too dark. The following actions are available during landing: a. Pull throttle down to accelerate landing speed. b. Push throttle elsewhere to abort the current landing.

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH

Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacle during FailSafe RTH, provided that the light condition is ideal for the Forward Vision System. The details on how the aircraft will behave during obstacle avoid is listed below:

1. Aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 65 feet (20 meters) ahead.

2. 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.

3. Failsafe RTH procedure resume, the aircraft will continue ying to the Home Point at the current

altitude.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH when the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set an suitable Failsafe

altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” and

select “MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode” to set the Failsafe altitude.

10 m

5 m

If Failsafe RTH (including Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH) triggered and Forward Vision System is activated:

1. If aircraft's current altitude is greater than 10 meters (32 feet), the aircraft will return to the home point at the current altitude.

2. If aircraft's current altitude is lower than 10 meters (32 feet), the aircraft will

rst automatically ascend to 10 meters (32 feet) from the current altitude.

The aircraft will start landing immediately if the Forward Vision System is deactivated. Note that the Forward Vision System status is determined when Failsafe RTH is triggered.

5 m

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 5 meters (16 feet) 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 5meters (16 feet) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.

Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] displays grey) or unavailable.

Press the Pause button once to allow the aircraft to exit from Failsafe. The aircraft will stop the current ascending process and hovers.

Calibrating Front Sensors

Forward and Downward Vision Systems cameras that installed on landing gear are calibrated on delivery. However these camera are vulnerable to excessive impact, hence it will require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 or DJI GO app from time to time. Follow the steps below to calibrate the camera when the DJI GO app prompt you to do so.

Detection Range

The detection range of the Forward and Downward Vision System is depicted as follow. Note that the

aircraft cannot sense and avoid the obstacles that are not within the detection range.

Using Downward Vision System Downward Vision System

is activated automatically when the aircraft is turned on. No further action is required. Downward Vision System is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Downward Vision System, the aircraft can hover precisely even without GPS.

Page 23

Aircraft

Mavic Pro User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Downward Vision System:

1. Toggle the ight mode switch to P-mode.

2. Place the aircraft on a at surface. Note that the Downward 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 Downward Vision System is ready. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.

The performance of your Forward and Downward Vision System are affected by the surface over

which it is ying. 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 Atti mode automatically if neither GPS nor Forward and Downward Vision 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 reective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 10 m/s at 2 meters or over 5 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 deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Assisted Brakingfrom Forward Vision System

are detected direct ahead of the aircraft. Note that Forward and Downward Vision System works best when

light condition is ideal and the obstacle does not have feature-less pattern. In addition, the aircraft speed

cannot exceed over 10 meter/second so that the aircraft can break and stop at the safe distance.

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 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 Take-

off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the ight 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

Calibrating the Compass

Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO 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 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. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-ight

preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, 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 solid red.

Mavic Pro User Manual

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your

aircraft to a different location and try again.

Calibrate the compass before each ight. Launch the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen

instructions to calibrate the compass. DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars, scaffolding.

If the aircraft status indicators is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on

the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.

When to Recalibrate

1.When compass data is abnormal and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green and yellow.

2.When ying in a new location or in a location that is different from the most recent ight.

3.When the mechanical or physical structure of the Mavic Pro has been changed.

4.When severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. Mavic Pro does not y in straight line.

Auto Takeoff 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 app, and enter “Camera” page.

2. Ensure the aircraft is in P- mode.

3. Complete all steps on the pre-ight checklist.

4. Tap“ ”, and conrm that conditions are safe for ight. Slide the icon to conrm and takeoff.

5. Aircraft takes off and hovers at (1.2 meters) above ground.

Aircraft Status Indicator blinks rapidly when it is using the Vision Position System for stabilization. The aircraft will automatically hover below 3 meters. It is recommended to wait until there is

sufcient GPS lock before using the Auto Take-off feature.

4. Re-calibrate the aircraft if the aircraft status indicators blink red.

Auto-Landing Use auto-landing only if the Aircraft Status Indicators are blinking green. Follow the steps below to use the auto-landing feature:
