Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual Preflight Checklist 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Remote controller, Intelligent Flight Battery, and mobile device are fully charged. Propellers are mounted correctly and firmly. Micro-SD card has been inserted if necessary. Gimbal is functioning as normal. Motors can start and are functioning as normal. DJI Pilot app connected to the aircraft. Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location.
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual 3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red. Flight If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a different location to calibrate the compass. Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass.
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. Follow the steps below to use auto-landing: 1. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode. 2. Check the landing area condition before tapping “ ”, to perform landing. Starting/Stopping the Motors Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors.
Phantom 3 Advanced User Manual When the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. A low battery level warning is indicated by the Aircraft Status Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Watch video tutorials about flight for more flight information. Video Suggestions and Tips 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Go through the checklist before each flight. Select desired gimbal operation mode in the DJI Pilot app.
