Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the ight simulator in the
DJI GO app to practice ying or have an experienced pilot accompany you for supervision. Ensure
that all ights are carried out in an open area.
Flying Conditions
1. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions including rain, snow, fog, and wind
speeds exceeding 10 m/s.
2. Only y in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-
board compass and GPS signal.
3. Avoid ying near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees and bodies of water.
4. Avoid ying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone 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 ying over 19685 feet (6000 m) above sea level as the battery
and aircraft performance may be reduced.
6. The Phantom 3 Standard cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth’s polar regions.
Flight Limits and No Fly Zones
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory
organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and their local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, ight limits are enabled
by default to help users use this product safely and legally.
When operating the aircraft in P-Mode, the altitude limit, radius limit and No Fly Zones work together
to bound the aircraft. In A-Mode, the aircraft cannot exceed altitudes of 400 feet (120 m).
Altitude and Radius Limits
The pilot can set the altitude and radius limits in the DJI GO app to create a cyliderical geo-fence to
bound the aircraft. The tables below show the details of these limits.
