DJI Inspire 1 Remote Controller [54/63] Flight

6 Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight

maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location.

6.1 Flight Environment Requirements

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog.

(2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass.

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight.

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or

radio transmission towers.

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas.

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations.

6.2 Preflight Checklist

(1) Remote Control, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged.

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly.

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed.

(4) Camera lens cap has been removed.

(5) Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary.

(6) Gimbal is functioning as normal.

(7) Motors can start and are functioning as normal.

(8) DJI Pilot App can connect to the camera.

6.3 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 flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum

performance.

(1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite,

parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.

(2) DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones.
