capable of selecting the best transmission channel automatically.

Intelligent Flight Modes: The user can focus on operating the aircraft while the Advanced Pilot

Assistance System 5.0 (APAS 5.0) helps the aircraft to avoid obstacles in all directions and effortlessly

capture complex shots using FocusTrack, MasterShots, QuickShots and Hyperlapse.

• The maximum flight time was tested in an environment without wind while flying at a

consistent flight speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum flight speed was tested

at sea level altitude without wind. Note that the maximum flight speed is limited to 42

mph (68.4 kph) in the European Union (EU). These value are for reference only.

• The remote controller reaches its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-

open area with no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m).

The maximum transmission distance refers to the maximum distance that the aircraft

can still send and receive transmissions. It does not refer to the maximum distance

the aircraft can fly in a single flight. The maximum runtime was tested in a laboratory

environment and without charging the mobile device. This value is for reference only.

• 5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Observe the local laws and regulations.

• DJI RC-N1, DJI RC remote controller, and all types of ND filters are fully compatible with

Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 Classic contains a flight

controller, video downlink system,

vision systems, infrared sensing system,

propulsion system, and an Intelligent

Flight Battery.

Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 Classic contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared

sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mavic 3 Classic has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches

to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote

controller.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and

Downward Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When

the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS

is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the

vision systems to locate and stabilize itself. When the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward,

and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment conditions are

sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.

Sport Mode: In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses

are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note

that obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in

the EU).

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the

aircraft more stable during shooting.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are

unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences

interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings.

Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards,

especially when flying in confined spaces.

• The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode,

which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.

• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport

mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.

• A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft

is ascending and descending.

• The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means

a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft

moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during

flight.

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning

system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and

Failsafe RTH. The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH

is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during flight.

GNSS

Description

Home

Point

The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received

a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The

Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives

a strong to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the

Home Point cannot be updated.

Smart RTH

If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping

in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH

button on the remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping

in DJI Fly or by

pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Advanced RTH

Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the

vision systems when Smart RTH is triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH

path, which will be displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.

RTH Settings

RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Fly and tap

Safety > RTH.

1. Optimal: Regardless of the RTH Altitude settings, the aircraft automatically plans the optimal

RTH path and adjusts the altitude according to environmental factors such as obstacles

and transmission signals. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest

distance possible reducing the amount of battery power used and increasing flight time.

2. Preset: When the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the

aircraft will plan the RTH path, fly to an open area while avoiding obstacles, ascend to the

RTH Altitude, and return to home using the best path. When the aircraft is at a distance of

5 to 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not ascend to the RTH

Altitude and instead return to home using the best path at the current altitude. When the

aircraft is near the home point, the aircraft will descend while flying forward if the current

altitude is higher than the RTH Altitude.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

Advanced RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Advanced RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH

begins.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will

plan the best path according to the RTH settings and fly to the home point while avoiding

obstacles and GEO zones. The aircraft front will always point in the same direction as the

flight direction.

4. The aircraft will fly automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and the

transmission signal during RTH.

5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

Straight Line RTH

The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sufficient and the environment

is not suitable for the Advanced RTH.

Straight Line RTH Procedure:

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Straight Line RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH

begins.

b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the

aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the

current altitude is lower than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and

files to the Home Point.

c. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft

adjusts its orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point.

If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft flies to the Home Point

at the current altitude.

4. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

• During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to

environmental factors such as wind speed and obstacles.

• The aircraft cannot avoid small or fine objects such as tree branches or power lines.

Fly the aircraft to an open area before using Smart RTH.

• Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot

avoid on the RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.

• The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH

settings are changed during RTH.

• If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will

descend to the max altitude and return to home.

• The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.

• If there is a large difference in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount

of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at different

altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly.

• Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were not

suitable for vision systems during takeoff or RTH.

• During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and

environment was not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles.

An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.

• When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick

can be used to control the flight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be

controlled and the aircraft cannot be flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing

speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from RTH if the pitch stick is

pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

• When ascending in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from

RTH if the throttle stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after

the throttle stick is released. When flying forward in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will

brake and hover in place and exit from RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down.

The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

• If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft

stops and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude.

• The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after

detecting obstacles in front.

• During Straight Line RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using

the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the

aircraft and the direction of flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot

avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the

effective sensing speed.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

Low Battery RTH

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the

safe return of the aircraft may be affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when

prompted.

In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, the aircraft automatically

calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current

position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the

battery level is low and the aircraft can only support Low Battery RTH.

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is

cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have

enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being

lost.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long

enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote

controller can be used to alter the direction and the speed of descent of the aircraft during

landing. The throttle stick can be used to increase the ascent speed by 1 m/s if there is sufficient

power. The throttle stick cannot be used to increase the ascent speed and the aircraft will land

if there is no power left.

During auto landing, find an appropriate place to land the aircraft as soon as possible. The

aircraft will fall if there is no power remaining.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe

RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds.

Note that the action the aircraft performs when the remote controller is lost must be set to

Return to Home in DJI Fly.

When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display

the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost

and return to home using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain

in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored.

When the lighting is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter

Original Route RTH.

Original Route RTH Procedure:

1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

2. a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters

Straight Line RTH.

c. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjust its orientation

and flies backwards for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH.

3. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is

restored during Original Route RTH.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

• If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the

Home Point, a prompt will appear in the app to select a landing option.

• The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal

is weak or unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes

weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a

while before landing.

• It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set

the RTH altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m.

• The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are

unavailable.

• GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones.

• The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too

high. Fly with caution.

• Be aware of small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent

objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually

in an emergency.

• RTH may not be available in some environments even if the vision systems are

working. The aircraft will exit RTH in such cases.

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate during Smart RTH. When aircraft begins landing, Landing

Protection is enabled.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable

ground.

2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for pilot

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mavic 3 Classic is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward,

Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems.

The Upward and Downward Vision Systems consist of two cameras each, and the Forward,

Backward, and Lateral Vision Systems consist of four cameras in total.

The Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System

and Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place

more precisely, and to fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

In addition, the Auxiliary Bottom Light located on the underside of the aircraft improves visibility

for the Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.

Using the Vision Systems

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear

texture and sufficient light.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when

the aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is

set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when

using the Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems. The Forward, Backward,

Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked

or textured obstacles. Due to inertia, users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a

reasonable distance.

• Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance

may be affected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of

sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

• The Downward Vision Systems work best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5

to 30 m if there is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the

aircraft is above 30 m as the Vision Systems may be affected.

• The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Fly. If set to Auto, it is automatically

enabled when the environment light is too weak. Note that the Vision System cameras

performance may be affected when the Auxiliary Bottom Light is enabled. Fly with

caution if the GNSS signal is weak.

• The Vision Systems may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or

snow-covered areas. Aircraft may not be able to land properly over water. Make sure

to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

• The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern

variations. The Vision Systems cannot work properly in any of the following situations.

Operate the aircraft cautiously.

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

b. Flying over highly reflective surfaces.

c. Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

d. Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

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

f. Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.

g. Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).

h. Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

i. Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the

same design).

j. Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches).

• Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the

aircraft in dusty or humid environments.

• Vision System cameras may need to be calibrated after being stored for an extended

period. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly and calibration will be performed automatically.

• DO NOT fly when it is raining, foggy, or if there is no clear sight.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

• Check the following before each takeoff:

a. Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the Infrared

Sensing and Vision Systems.

b. If there is any dirt, dust, or water on the Infrared Sensing and Vision Systems, clean

it with a soft cloth. Do not use any cleanser that contains alcohol.

c. Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the glass of the Infrared Sensing and

Vision Systems.

• DO NOT obstruct the Infrared Sensing System.

Intelligent Flight Mode

FocusTrack

FocusTrack includes Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0, and ActiveTrack 5.0.

Spotlight 2.0

Control the aircraft manually while the camera remains locked on the subject. The mode

supports both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. Move the roll

stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the

throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.

• Refer to the Remote Controller and Controlling the Aircraft sections for more

information about the roll, pitch, throttle, and pan sticks.

In Spotlight mode, the aircraft will hover in place when there is an obstacle detected when the

vision systems are working normally, no matter the behavior is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly.

Note that the vision systems are disabled in Sport mode.

Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0)

The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and flight speed that is set. The

mode supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. The max

flight speed is 12 m/s and the flight speed may be adjusted dynamically according the actual

radius. Move the roll stick to change the speed, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the

subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in this mode regardless of the settings in DJI Fly when the

vision systems are working normally.

ActiveTrack 5.0

ActiveTrack 5.0 is divided into Trace and Parallel, which support tracking both stationary and

moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine mode, the max

flight speed is 12 m/s. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, the pitch stick to alter the distance

from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 5.0 regardless of the settings in DJI Fly.

Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude with a constant angle

in the direction of the subject. The aircraft can track subjects in eight directions including front,

back, left, right, forward diagonal left, front diagonal right, backward diagonal left, and backward

diagonal right. The direction is set to back by default and this setting is only available when the

subject is moving in a stable direction. The direction of tracking can be adjusted during tracking.

Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side.

In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people with an altitude

of 2-20 m (the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude is 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m

when tracking vehicles or boats with an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m

and altitude is 10-50 m). The aircraft will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the

distance and altitude is out of range when ActiveTrack begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal

distance and altitude for the best performance.

the risk of crashing with the obstacles increases. Fly with caution.

Nifty cannot work normally in the following situations:

1. When aircraft orientation changes rapidly flying near obstacles when using Bypass.

2. When flying through narrow obstacles such as canopies or bushes at high speed.

3. When flying near obstacles that are too small to detect.

4. When flying with the propeller guard.

Landing Protection

Landing Protection will activate if Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake and the user

pulls the throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft

begins to land.

1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable

ground.

2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover when the aircraft

descends below 0.8 m. Pull down on the throttle stick for more than five seconds and the

aircraft will land without obstacle avoidance.

• Make sure you use APAS when the Vision Systems are available. Make sure there are

no people, animals, objects with small surface areas (such as tree branches), or objects

with transparent surfaces (such as glass or water) along the flight path.

• Make sure you use APAS when the Downward Vision System is available or the GNSS

signal is strong. APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water

or snow-covered areas.

• Be extra cautious when flying in extremely dark (<300 lux) or bright (>10,000 lux)

environments.

• Pay attention to DJI Fly and make sure APAS is working normally.

• APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying near flight limits or in a GEO zone.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides

real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from flying

in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to

allow flights in. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current

restriction level in the intended flight area.

The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible

for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and

regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area. For more

information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe.

Flight Limits

For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely.

Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones

function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be

limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the

aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

Radius

The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be

received in the app.

• The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong

GNSS signal when the aircraft was powered on.

• If the aircraft reaches a limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any

further. If the aircraft flies out of the max radius, it will automatically fly back within

range when the GNSS signal is strong.

• For safety reasons, do not fly close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines,

city centers, or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.

GEO Zones

All GEO zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe/geo-map. GEO

zones are divided into different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields

where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive

locations such as power plants. There will be prompts in the DJI Fly app to fly in GEO zones.

FAR Remote ID Compliance Information

The aircraft complies with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89:

The aircraft automatically broadcasts Remote ID messages from takeoff to shut down. An

external device such as a cell phone or tablet is required to be connected as a location

source to DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system

[1]

, and must run the DJI

flight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app

to obtain its accurate location information. The connected external device must minimally be

one of the following:

1) FCC Certified personal wireless device that uses GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location

services; or

2) FCC Certified personal wireless device with integrated GNSS.

Also, the external device must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location

reported and its correlation to the operator location.

The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-flight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system

before takeoff and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST

[2]

. The results of the PFST of

the Remote ID system can be viewed in either a DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI

goggles.

The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-flight to shut down. If the

Remote ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in either a DJI

flight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.

Footnotes

1. DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system such as DJI RC-N1, DJI FPV Goggles V2,

and DJI Goggles 2.

2. The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-

data source and transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
