Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator in the DJI Pilot App
to practice the flight skills and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a wide open area.


Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10 m/s ,
   snow, rain and smog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and
   GPS signal.
3. Avoid approaching the obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water.
4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in the area with high levels of electromagnetism,
   including 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 flying 19, 685 feet (6000 m) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft per-
   formance may be affected.
6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate within the polar areas.




                                                                                                                                Flight
Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area
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 flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and
legally. The flight 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 flight. In “A”
mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 1640 feet (500 m) .

Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits
Maximum flight altitude & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings
in the DJI Pilot App. For Be aware that, the maximum flight altitude value cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 m).
Once complete, your Phantom 3 Professional will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these
settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

         Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas
         Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at
         http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B.
         Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow and no-drone zones, while
         category B areas includes smaller airports.

         Category A Safety Zone
         (1) The category A “safety zone” is comprised of a small “no-fly zone” and a range of “restricted-altitude
             zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no-fly zone” but can continue with height restrictions in the restrict-
             ed-altitude zone.
         (2) A radius of R1 miles (km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is
             prevented. The value of R1 is determined by the size of the airport.
         (3) From R1 to R1 + 1 miles (R1 + 1.6 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum
             altitude going from 66 feet (20 m) at R1 miles to 1640 feet (500 m) at R1 + 1 miles (R1 + 1.6 km).
         (4) A “warning zone” has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the
             safety zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI Pilot App.

Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very
sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight
performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance.


          DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such
          as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.




                                                                                                                         Flight
          DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular
          phones.
          DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.
          DO NOT calibrate indoors.


Calibration Procedures
Choose an open area to carry out the following procedures.
1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you
   have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap “MODE” in the app and select “Compass
   Calibration” to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a
   solid green light.




                                                                                 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.   45


         Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

         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 show solid red.
Flight




                   If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a
                   different location to calibrate the compass.

                   Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction
                   to calibrate the compass.


         When to Recalibrate
         1.   When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow.
         2.   When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight.
         3.   When the mechanical structure of the Phantom 3 Professional has changed.
         4.   When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom 3 Professional does not fly in straight line.


         Auto Take-off and Auto Landing
         Auto Take-off
         Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking
         green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off:
         1. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter “Camera” page.
         2. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode.
         3. Go through the pre-flight checklist.

There are two methods to stop the motors.
Method 1: When Phantom 3 Professional has landed, push the throttle down , then conduct CSC . Mo-
tors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop.
Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3
seconds.




                                Method 1                                                         Method 2




Flight Test
Take off/Landing Procedures
1.   Place the aircraft on open, flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you.
2.   Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery.
3.   Launch the DJI Pilot App and enter the Camera page.
4.   Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly
     now. If it flashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off.
5.   Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off.
6.   Shoot photos and videos using the DJI Pilot app.
7.   To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle slowly to descend.
8.   After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or
     more until the motors stop.
9.   Turn off the Intelligent Flight Battery first, followed by the Remote Controller.

         Phantom 3 Professional User Manual


                    When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe
                    mode.
                    A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or
                    rapidly during flight.
                    Watch video tutorials about flight for more flight information.


         Video Suggestions and Tips
         1.   Go through the checklist before each flight.
         2.   Select desired gimbal operation mode in the DJI Pilot app.
         3.   Shoot the video when flying in P mode only.
         4.   Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days.
         5.   Change camera settings that suit you. These include photo format and exposure compensation.
         6.   Perform flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes.
         7.   Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.
