LED Indicators

The Phantom 3 Standard has two Front LEDs located under the two front motors and two Aircraft Status

Indicators located under the two rear motors.

The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on and help you orientate the aircraft when it

is in the air. You can switch off the Front LEDs in the DJI GO app to achieve a better lming result. The

Aircraft Status Indicators indicate the status of the ight controller. See the table below for details of its

blinking patterns.

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The ight controller provides stability, safety and control to the Phantom 3 Standard. The supported ight

modes are designed to optimize aircraft control for different conditions and purposes. The ight controller

allows the aircraft to automatically Return-to-Home (RTH) if the remote controller signal is lost (i.e. Failsafe

RTH) or when instructed to by the pilot (i.e. Smart RTH), ensuring the safe return of your aircraft. Flight

data is stored to the device every time you y and can be accessed anytime.

Flight Modes

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

P-Mode (Positioning):

P-Mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. One of its two states will be

selected by the aircraft automatically depending on GPS signal strength.

P-GPS:

GPS is available. The aircraft uses GPS for positioning.

P-ATTI:

GPS is not available. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude.

A-Mode (Attitude):

GPS is not used for positioning, and the aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain

altitude. If a GPS signal is present, the aircraft will still return to the last recorded Home Point if the remote

controller signal is lost.

F-Mode (Function):

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is supported in this mode. Refer to the IOC section

in the Appendix for more information.

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P-Mode by default. To enable other ight modes, go to the DJI GO

app > Camera View > > Advanced Settings > Enable Multiple Flight Modes.
