Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Phantom 3 Standard’s flight controller features several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control
signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device.
The new flight controller also provides increased stability.
Flight Mode
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 automatically 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.
Flight Status Indicator
The Phantom 3 Standard has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in
the figure below:
Aircraft Status Indicator
Front LED
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:

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
Home Point
Description
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 initiate 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 Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below:

5.8 Compliance Version Configuration
Remote Controller
As power levels vary between regulators, the Phantom Remote Control’s power output can be adjusted by
twisting the CE/FCC Control Knob (Figure 27) on the back of the Remote Control using a flathead screwdriver.
For CE compliance, set the Remote Control to CE with a full counterclockwise turn. For FCC compliance, set the
Remote Control to FCC with a full clockwise turn. Be sure to follow relevant local regulations.
Compliance can be configured using the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Select CE compliance version in Assistant to set
it, or do the same with FCC compliance version.
Turn the CE/FCC Control knob gently to avoid
damage.
CE compliant devices have an effective remote
control range of 400 meters in open spaces due
to power limitations.
FCC compliant devices have an effective range
of 800 meters in open spaces.
Watch your flight distance as the Phantom 3
Standard aircraft will enter Failsafe mode (autolanding or go home and land) if it flies beyond
the relevant range limits.
Always follow local laws and regulations.
It is recommended to use a Φ2.4mm flathead
screwdriver for adjustments.
There is another potentiometer for reserved use.
