these LEDs are shown in the gure below:

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the

Rear LED displays solid green.

Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the ight controller. Refer to the table below for more

information about the Aircraft Status Indicator:

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Inspire 1 RAW’s ight controller is based on DJI ight controller with several enhancements such

as new ight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and

Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A

ight recorder stores crucial ight data for each ight.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found in the section below:

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 RAW depending on GPS signal strength and

Vision Positioning sensors:

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision

Positioning for hovering

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so only altitude is controlled.

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on P30 for more information.

GPS Description

Home Point

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through

the GPS icon ( ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point

setting, the Home Point will be updated to your current position as you

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green.

Smart RTH

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on P31 for more information) or the

RTH button in the DJI GO app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies within a 20

meter (65 feet) radius of the Home Point.

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

reasonable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera”

view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.

Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle

stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.

When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land

automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more

appropriate location for landing.

Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator reect estimated remaining ight time

and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft’s current status.

Failsafe RTH

Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for

more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working

normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if

a remote controller signal is resumed.

Vision Positioning System

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 RAW can hover in place

more precisely and y indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1 RAW, including [1] two

sonar sensors and [2] one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 RAW is powered on. No manual action

is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 RAW can perform precision hovering even

when no GPS is available.

User Manual

INSPIRE RAW

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the gure to the right:

2. Place the Inspire 1 RAW on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning

system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations.

3. Power on the Inspire 1 RAW. The aircraft status indicator will ash twice in green

light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the

throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 RAW will hover in place.

The performance of your Inspire 1 RAW’s Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface

you are ying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance

over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal

environments. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and

Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the

following situations:

Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying over a highly reective surfaces.

Flying at high speeds (over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter).

Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces.

Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).

Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design).

Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

In the event of loss of remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in “P” mode.

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 3 meters.

Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.
