Controlling the Aircraft
Control Mode
The control sticks control the aircraft’s orientation (pan), forward/backward movement (pitch), altitude
(throttle), and left/right movement (roll). The control stick mode determines the function of each
control stick movement. Three preprogrammed modes (Mode 1, Mode 2, and Mode 3) are available
and custom modes can be congured in DJI Fly. The default mode is Mode 2. In each of the three
pre-programmed modes, the aircraft hovers in place at a constant orientation when both sticks are
centered. See the gures below to see the function of each control stick in the three preprogrammed
modes.

DJI RC Pro User Manual
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate
and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself.
When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sucient, the aircraft
uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize itself.
Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are
optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that
obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport Mode.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft
more stable during shooting.
Refer to the ight modes section in the aircraft’s user manual for more information about ight mode
features for dierent aircraft types.
RTH Button
Press and hold the RTH button until the remote controller beeps to start RTH. Press this button again to
cancel RTH and regain control of the aircraft. Refer to the Return to Home section for more information
about RTH.
Optimal Transmission Zone
The signal between the aircraft and the remote controller is most reliable when the antennas are
positioned in relation to the aircraft as illustrated below.
The optimal transmission range is where the antennas are facing toward the aircraft and the angle
between the antennas and the back of the remote controller is 180° or 270°. The illustrations show
situations where the operator and aircraft are far away.
Do not use other wireless devices operating at the same frequency as the remote controller.
Otherwise, the remote controller will experience interference.
A prompt will be received in DJI Fly if the transmission signal is weak during flight. Adjust the
antennas to make sure that the aircraft is in the optimal transmission range.
