37
Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI Pilot
app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open
area.
Flight Environment Requirements
Flight
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,
snow, rain and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations
and radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea
level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.
6. The Phantom 3 Standard cannot operate within the polar areas.
Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones
All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and
regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default,
which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance
limits, and No-Fly Zones.
When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to
manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft
altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .
Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits
Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI Pilot app. Be aware that the maximum flight
altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3 Standard will fly
in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones
All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are
divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned
aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive
institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:
Airport
(1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each
zone features circles of various sizes.
(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.
(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination.
Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is
limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile
(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear
on the DJI Pilot app.

Director is an automatic video editor built into the DJI Pilot app. After recording several video clips, simply
tap “Director” from the app’s home screen. You can then select a template and a specified number of
clips, which are automatically combined to create a short film that can be shared immediately.
How do I change the control mode of my Phantom 3?
By default, the Remote Controller is set to Mode 2. This means that the right control stick controls the
movement of the aircraft and the left control stick controls the throttle and orientation of the aircraft. These
controls can be changed to Mode 1 or set to a customized configuration in the DJI Pilot app. This is only
recommended for advanced users.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Remote Controller with the Phantom 3?
No. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller operates on a different frequency. The Phantom 2 Remote Controller
operates at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom 3 Remote Controller operates at 2.4 GHz.
Can I use a Phantom 2 Intelligent Flight Battery with the Phantom 3?
FAQ
No. The Phantom 3 uses a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom 3 has
a 4 cell battery with a capacity of 4480 mAh and a voltage of 15.2 V.
My Phantom 3 does not turn off right away, is something wrong?
This is normal. After you attempt to power off the Intelligent Flight Battery, it may remain on for a few
seconds as any video data is saved to the Micro SD card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or
corrupted.
Do I have to buy the Remote Controller separately?
No, there is no need to buy a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom 3 comes with a Remote Controller
that is already linked to the aircraft.
Does my Phantom 3 support dual Remote Controllers?
No. The included Remote Controller can be used to control both the aircraft and the gimbal tilt at the same
time.
What does the “P, A, F” switch on the Remote Controller do?
This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight modes:
P-mode, or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and
your Phantom 3 will attempt to stabilize using both.
In A-mode, or Attitude mode, the aircraft does not use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the
barometer is used for stabilization. The aircraft can still return to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS
signal is available.
F-mode, or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer to the IOC
section in the Appendix of the User Manual.
By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer to your user manual for instructions on unlocking the other
modes.

Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the
ground.
FAQ
Why is the discharge time of the battery not zero, even though I have never used it?
Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new
battery and is the reason that the discharge time is not zero. The battery is safe to use.
Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller?
No, it cannot.
How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?
A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g.
power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error
occurs and the DJI Pilot app will display one of the following messages:
• Compass error, calibration required
This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended
to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight.
• Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode
This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude
to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will
automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch
back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)
IOC allows users to lock the control orientation of the aircraft in different modes. There are three working
modes for IOC that can be selected in the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works when the aircraft is in F-mode,
therefore the user must toggle the flight mode switch to activate IOC. Refer to the table below:
Course Lock (CL)
The nose direction, at the time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction
regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes. This will
remain fixed until you reset it or exit CL mode.
Home Lock (HL)*
Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward
controls will move the aircraft farther from and closer to the established Home
Pont, regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes.
Point of Interest (POI)*
Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POI). The aircraft can then circle
around the POI and the nose will always points toward the POI.
*Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon.
IOC Requirements
IOC is only available under the following conditions:
