The positions of these LEDs are shown in the gure below:The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators:AircraftFlight Controller The Phantom 3 Standard’s ight controller features several important upgrades, including a new ight mode. Safe-ty modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability.Flight ModeTwo ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found below:P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three dierent states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Standard depending on signal strength of GPS. P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS is not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still auto-matically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully.F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight Mode Switch” on Page 26 for more information.
