Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the ight simulator in the DJI Pilot App
to practice the ight skills and learn to y safely. Ensure that all ights 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 y 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 ying 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 ying 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 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 ight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and
legally. The ight 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 ight. In “A”
mode only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 1640 feet (500 m) .
Maximumightaltitude&RadiusLimits
Maximum ight altitude & Radius limit ying height and distance, and the user may change these settings
in the DJI Pilot App. For Be aware that, the maximum ight altitude value cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 m).
Once complete, your Phantom 3 Professional will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these
settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

If you y out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire, but cannot y it further.
If the Inspire ies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will y back within
range automatically.
Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas
Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI ofcial website at
http://www.dji.com/y-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-y zone” and a range of “restricted-altitude
zones”. Flight is prevented in the “no-y 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-y 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 y 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 ight
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.
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.
