Safety

After completing pre-flight preparations, it is recommended to train your flying skills and practice flying safely. Pick a suitable area to fly in according to the following flight requirements and restrictions. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when flying. Read the Safety Guidelines before flight to ensure safe use of the product.

Flight Restrictions

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights. Before that, you must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area.

The GEO system may not fully align with local laws and regulations. You are responsible for your own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a restricted area.

Flight Limits

For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help you operate the aircraft safely. You can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Altitude and Distance Limits

Max altitude restricts the flight altitude of the aircraft, while max distance restricts the flight radius around the Home Point of the aircraft. These limits can be changed in the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety.

1. Max Altitude
2. Home Point (Horizontal Position)
3. Max Distance
4. Height of the aircraft when taking off

Strong GNSS Signal

• Each time the aircraft is powered on, the altitude limit will be automatically removed as long as the GNSS signal becomes strong (GNSS signal strength ≥ 2), and the limit will not take effect even if the GNSS signal becomes weak afterwards.
• If the aircraft flies out of the set flight range due to inertia, you can still control the aircraft, but cannot fly it any further away.

GEO Zones

The DJI GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights, and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude.

Unlocking Zones

Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones.  Once the unlocking request is approved, you can synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Fly app. To unlock the zone, alternatively, you can launch or fly the aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Fly to unlock the zone.

• To ensure flight safety, the aircraft will not be able to fly out of the unlocked zone after entering it.
• If the Home Point is outside the unlocked zone, the aircraft will not be able to return home.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. DO NOT fly in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, snow, rain, and fog. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system.
2. Fly the aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS). Any flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can be conducted only when the aircraft performance, the knowledge and skills of the pilot, and the operational safety management are compliant with local regulations for BVLOS. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water.
3. When the GNSS signal is weak, fly the aircraft in environments with good lighting and visibility. The vision system may not work properly in poor light conditions. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
4. The braking distance of the aircraft is affected by the flight altitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When flying at high altitudes, you should reserve adequate braking distance to ensure flight safety.
5. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead. DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes. DO NOT take off from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reflections, such as a car roof.

Operating the Aircraft Responsibly

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:

1. After landing, power off the aircraft first, then switch off the remote controller.
2. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been accidentally damaged, crashed, or is not in good condition.
3. Make sure to train sufficiently and have contingency plans for emergencies or if an incident occurs.
4. Make sure to have a flight plan. DO NOT fly the aircraft recklessly.
5.  Respect the privacy of others when using the camera.
6. Make sure to comply with localprivacy laws, regulations, and moral standards.
7. DO NOT use this product for any reason other than general personal use.
8. DO NOT use it for illegal or inappropriate purposes such as military or unauthorized investigations.
9. DO NOT trespass onto the private property of others.
10. Make sure you are NOT under the influence of anesthesia, alcohol, or drugs, or other conditions that could impair the ability to operate the aircraft safely.

Aircraft

Flight Mode

The aircraft supports the following flight modes, which can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller. Normal Mode: Normal mode is suitable for most flight scenarios. The aircraft can hover precisely, fly stably, and use Intelligent Flight Modes.

Sport Mode: The maximum horizontal flight speed of the aircraft will be higher when compared with Normal mode. Note that obstacle avoidance is disabled in Sport mode. Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited flight speed, making the aircraft more stable during recording.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision system is unavailable or disabled, and the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings.

• The flight modes are only effective for manual flight and cruise control.
• You must stay alert to the surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode.
• A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
• Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
• You may experience shaking in videos recorded in Sport mode.

Aircraft Status Indicators

The aircraft has two aircraft status indicators.

When the aircraft is powered on, but the motors are not running, the aircraft status indicators will display the current status of the aircraft.

Aircraft Status Indicators Descriptions

If the aircraft cannot take off while the status indicators are blinking red slowly, view the warning prompt in DJI Fly. Lighting requirements vary depending on the region. Observe local laws and regulations.

Return to Home

Carefully read the contents of this section to ensure you are familiar with the behaviorof the aircraft in Return-to-Home (RTH).  The Return to Home (RTH) function will automatically fly the aircraft back to the lastrecorded Home Point. RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH, the aircraft has a low battery, or the remote controller signal has been lost (Failsafe RTH istriggered). If the aircraft has recorded the Home Point successfully and the positioning system is functioning normally, when the RTH function is triggered, the aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point.

Home Point: The Home Point will be recorded at takeoff as long as the aircraft has a strong GNSS signal or the lighting is sufficient. After the Home Pointis recorded, DJI Fly will issue a voice prompt. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as if you have changed your position), the Home Point can be manually updated in > Safety page in DJI Fly. When the aircraft is used with the DJI RC 2 remote controller, Dynamic Home Point is available.

Advanced RTH

When Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Fly and will be adjusted according to the environment. During RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically according to environmental factors such as the wind speed, wind direction, and obstacles. If the control signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is good, exit RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. After exiting  RTH, you will regain control of the aircraft.

Trigger Method

The user actively triggers RTH.

During flight, you can trigger RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller, or tapping from the left side of the camera view and then pressing and holding the RTH icon. If the remote controller signal is lost during RTH, the aircraft will continue the RTH procedure regardless of the preset Signal Lost Action.

RTH Procedure

After Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place. When the environment or lighting conditions are suitable for the vision system:

• The aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings, and then return to the Home Point if GNSS was available at takeoff.
• If GNSS was unavailable and only the vision system was working during takeoff, the aircraft would adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings, and then return to the position wita h strong GNSS signal based on the RTH settings.
• Make sure that the obstacle avoidance is enabled.
• DO NOT fly in narrow spaces, and the environmental wind speed should be less than 3 m/s.
• You need to confirm whether the flight path is correct and pay attention to flight safety.
• After confirmation, the aircraft will continue to return to the home point at a low speed.
• If an obstacle appears on the return path, the aircraft will brake and may exit RTH.
• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.

RTH Settings

RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Fly, tap > Safety, and scroll to Return to Home (RTH).

Optimal

• If the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will automatically plan the optimal RTH path and adjust the altitude according to environmental factors, such as obstacles and transmission signals, regardless of the RTH Altitude setting.
• The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible to reduce the amount of battery power used and to increase flight time.
• If the lighting is insufficient or the environment is not suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will perform Preset RTH based on the RTH Altitude setting.

Preset

1. If the forward-facing LiDAR detects an obstacle ahead, the aircraft will ascend to avoid the obstacle.
2. It will stop climbing once the path ahead is clear and then continue to RTH.
3. The aircraft will brake and hover, and the user will need to take control.

The RTH plans for different environments, RTH trigger methods, and RTH settings are as follows:

Landing Protection

During RTH, landing protection activates once the aircraft begins to land. The specific performance of the aircraft is as follows:

• If the ground is determined suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly.
• After reaching the area above the Home Point, the aircraft will land precisely on the takeoff point.
• Performing a precision landing is subject to the following conditions:
• The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight.
• During takeoff, the aircraft must vertically ascend at least 7 m before moving horizontally.
• The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
• The lighting conditions must not be too bright or too dark.
• During landing, movement of any other control stick apart from the throttle stick will be regarded as giving up precision landing, and the aircraft will descend vertically.

Dynamic Home Point

When Dynamic Home Point is enabled, the RTH icon will turn blue. After RTH is triggered, the aircraft will return near the Home Point, exit RTH, and hover. Users can control the aircraft.

• In camera view, tap > Update Home Point > Dynamic Home Point > Update.
• In camera view, tap > Safety > Update Home Point > Dynamic Home Point > Update.
• After enabling Dynamic Home Point for the first time, if the GNSS signal of the remote controller is weak, the dynamic Home Point may not be available.
• Use the Dynamic Home Point function in an open environment with a strong GNSS signal. Otherwise, the Home Point will have a large deviation from the actual remote controller location.
• Once the dynamic Home Point is available, if the GNSS signal of the remote controller is weak, the Home Point will remain at the last successfully updated location. When RTH is triggered, check if the Home Point location is the latest remote controller location.

Sensing System

1. Omnidirectional Vision System
2. Auxiliary Light
3. Downward Vision System
4. 3D Infrared Sensing System
5. Forward-Facing LiDAR

When using the auxiliary light, make sure to comply with local regulations and DO NOT obstruct the LED lights on the arms.

• When Vision Positioning and Obstacle Avoidance is disabled, the aircraft relies only on GNSS to hover, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance is unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically decelerate during descent close to the ground.
• Disabling Vision Positioning and Obstacle Avoidance takes effect only when flying manually, and will not take effect when using RTH, auto landing, or using Intelligent Flight Modes.
• Vision Positioning and Obstacle Avoidance can be temporarily disabled in clouds and fog or when an obstacle is detected when landing. Keep Vision Positioning and Obstacle Avoidance enabled in regular flight scenarios. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Avoidanceares enabled by default after restarting the aircraft.

Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems

The Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) feature is available in Normal mode and Cine mode. When APAS is enabled, the aircraft will continue to respond to your commands and plan its path according to both control stick inputs and the flight environment. APAS makes it easier to avoid obstacles, obtain smoother footage, and give a better flying experience.

When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the remote controller. The aircraft brakes and hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot commands.

• When aircraft orientation changes rapidlywhile flying near obstacles.
• When flying through narrow obstacles such as canopies or bushes at high speed.
• When flying near obstacles that are too small to detect.

Landing Protection

If obstacle avoidance action is set to Bypass or Brake, Landing Protection will be activated when you push the throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land.

• If the ground is determined to be suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly.
• If the ground is determined to be unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover when it descends to a certain height above ground. Push down on the throttle stick for at least five seconds, and the aircraft will land without obstacle avoidance.

Vision Assist

The vision assist view, powered by the vision systems, changes the image on the view from the corresponding vision sensors according to the flight speed direction to help users navigate and observe obstacles during flight.

• When using vision assist, the quality of the video transmission may be lower.
• It is normal for components of the aircraft to appear in the vision assist view.
• It is normal that image seams or brightness differences may occur in the vision assist view.
• Vision assist should be used for reference only. Glass walls and small objects such as tree branches, electric wires, and kite strings cannot be displayed accurately.
• Vision assist is not available when the aircraft has not taken off or when the video transmission signal is weak.
• When the direction is not locked in a specific direction, the vision assist view automatically switches to the current flight direction.
