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, flights 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 flight 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 Pilot app. Be aware that the maximum ight
altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Standard will y

No-Fly Zones
All 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 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-
o restricted zone, inside of which take o 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 flight 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 appear
(1) Restricted Areas does not have ight altitude restrictions.
(2) R miles around the designated restriction area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot take off

Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Always calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive
to electromagnetic interference, which can produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight
performance or ight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance.
Do not calibrate your compass where there is any possibility of strong magnetic interference.
Flight
Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures, and subterranean
metal structures
Do not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular
phones.
Do not calibrate in direct proximity to large metal objects.
DO NOT calibrate indoors.
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-flight
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.
If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your
aircraft to a dierent location and try again.
Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot 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, scaolding.
Flight
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 dierent from the most recent ight.
3.When the mechanical or physical structure of the Phantom 3 Standard has been changed.
4.When severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. Phantom 3 Standard does not y in straight line.
