Aircraft

Flight Status Indicator

The Phantom 3 Standard has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. 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:

Aircraft

Flight 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 Mode

Two 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.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are

three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes

these three scenarios in detail.

GPS Description

Home Point

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point

is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal

strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status

indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 26 for more information) or

tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to ini-

tiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use

the remote controller’s control sticks to control the aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart

RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH

button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately

when prompted. The DJI Pilot app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The

aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The

user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds

for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from

the Home Point.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is important to set an

suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter “Camera” and

select “MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode” to set the Failsafe altitude.

The aircraft will stop its ascent and return to the Home Point immediately if the throttle stick is

moved during the Failsafe RTH procedure.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will

be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Return-

to-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote

controller signal connection is re-established.

Failsafe Illustration

When Critical battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically,

you may push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an

opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location.

The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated

remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location

and status.
