Flight Safety

2 Flight Safety

After completing pre-ight preparations, it is recommended to train your ying skills

and practice ying safely. Pick a suitable area to y in according to the following ight

requirements and restrictions. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when ying.

Read the Safety Guidelines before ight to ensure safe use of the product.

2.1 Flight Restrictions

GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System

The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system

that provides real-time information on ight safety and restriction updates and prevents

UAVs from ying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas

can be unlocked to allow ights. Prior to that, you must submit an unlocking request

based on the current restriction level in the intended ight area. The GEO system may

not fully align with local laws and regulations. You are responsible for your own ight

safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory

requirements before requesting to unlock a restricted area. For more information about

the GEO system, visit https://y-safe.dji.com.

Flight Limits

For safety reasons, ight limits are enabled by default to help you operate the aircraft

safely. You can set ight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and

GEO zones function concurrently to manage ight safety when Global Navigation Satellite

System (GNSS) is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

Max altitude restricts the ight altitude of the aircraft, while max distance restricts the

ight radius around the Home Point of the aircraft. These limits can be changed in the DJI

Fly app for improved ight safety.

• When using Palm Control and Mobile App Control, the max ight altitude is 30

m and the max ight distance is 50 m. These limits can not be changed in the DJI

Fly app. The following information is suitable for when using the aircraft with the

remote control devices.

sensing system is functioning.

• Altitude is restricted to 30m

from the takeo point if light-

ing is not sucient and the in-

frared sensing system is not

functioning.

Max ight altitude reached.

Max Distance No limit

• Each time the aircraft is powered on, the altitude limit of 2m or 30m will be

automatically removed as long as the GNSS signal becomes strong (GNSS signal

strength ≥ 2), and the limit will not take eect even if the GNSS signal becomes

weak afterwards.

• If the aircraft ies out of the set ight range due to inertia, you can still control

the aircraft but cannot y it any further away.

DJI Flip User Manual

GEO Zones

The DJI GEO system designates safe ight locations, provides risk levels and safety

notices for individual ights, and oers information on restricted airspace. All restricted

ight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted

Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude

Zones. You can view such information in real-time in DJI Fly. GEO Zones are specic

ight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where

public emergencies have occurred (such as forest res), nuclear power plants, prisons,

government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeos

and ights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that

contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the

ocial DJI website: https://y-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.

Unlocking GEO Zones

To satisfy the needs of dierent users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-Unlocking

and Custom Unlocking. You can make a request on the DJI Fly Safe website.

Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking,

you must submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://y-

safe.dji.com. Once the unlocking request is approved, you can synchronize the unlocking

license through the DJI Fly app. To unlock the zone, alternatively, you can launch or y the

aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Fly to

unlock the zone.

Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special requirements. It designates user-

dened custom ight areas and provides ight permission documents specic to the

needs of dierent users. This unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and

can be requested via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://y-safe.dji.com.

• To ensure ight safety, the aircraft will not be able to y out of the unlocked

zone after entering it. If the Home Point is outside the unlocked zone, the

aircraft will not be able to return home.

2.2 Flight Environment Requirements

1. DO NOT y in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, snow, rain, and fog.

2. Only y in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may aect the

accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. Therefore, DO NOT take o

from a balcony or anywhere within 15 m of buildings. Keep a distance of at least

15 m from buildings during ight. After takeo, make sure you are notied with the

DJI Flip User Manual

prompt “Home Point is updated” before continuing ight. If the aircraft has taken o

near buildings, the accuracy of the Home Point cannot be guaranteed. In this case,

pay close attention to the current position of the aircraft during auto RTH. When

the aircraft is close to the Home Point, it is recommended to cancel auto RTH and

manually control the aircraft to land at an appropriate location.

3. Fly the aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS). Avoid mountains and trees blocking

GNSS signals. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended

height is at least 6 m above water). For safety reasons, DO NOT y the aircraft near

airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas,

unless any permit or approval is obtained under local regulations.

4. When the GNSS signal is weak, y the aircraft in environments with good lighting and

visibility. The vision system may not work properly in poor light conditions. Only y

the aircraft in the daytime.

5. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, such

as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting

towers.

6. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when ying at high altitudes.

Fly with caution. DO NOT y above the specied altitude.

7. The braking distance of the aircraft is aected by the ight altitude. The higher the

altitude, the greater the braking distance. When ying at high altitudes, you should

reserve adequate braking distance to ensure ight safety.

8. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead.

9. DO NOT take o from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.

10. DO NOT take o from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reections such

as a car roof.

11. DO NOT take o from or land on surfaces with sand such as deserts or beaches. DO

NOT take o or land on grass or surfaces with fallen leaves or other small, lightweight

matter. This is to prevent sand, grass, leaves and other foreign matter from entering

aircraft parts and causing damage to the motors, gimbal, or propellers.

12. DO NOT operate the aircraft in an environment at risk of a re or explosion.

13. Operate the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and battery charging

hub in a dry environment.

14. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, battery charger, and the battery

charging hub near accidents, re, explosions, oods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides,

earthquakes, dust, sandstorms, salt spray, or fungus.

15. DO NOT operate the aircraft near bird ocks.

DJI Flip User Manual

2.3 Operating the Aircraft Responsibly

DJI Flip User Manual

Aircraft

4 Aircraft

4.1 Flight Mode

The aircraft supports the following ight modes, which can be switched via the Flight

Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode: Normal mode is suitable for most ight scenarios. The aircraft can hover

precisely, y stably, and use Intelligent Flight Modes.

Sport Mode: The maximum horizontal ight speed of the aircraft will be higher when

compared with Normal mode. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport mode.

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited ight speed, making the

aircraft more stable during recording.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision system

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

interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily aected by its surroundings.

Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal drift of the aircraft, which may

present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces. The aircraft will not be able

to hover or brake automatically, therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as

possible to avoid accidents.

• The ight modes are only eective for manual ight and cruise control.

• The vision system is disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft

cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. You must stay alert to the

surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.

• The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft signicantly 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 in Sport mode or Normal mode.

• The responsiveness of the aircraft signicantly 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 ight.

• You may experience shaking in videos recorded in Sport mode.

prompt in DJI Fly.

4.3 Return to Home

Carefully read the contents of this section to ensure you are familiar with the behavior

of the aircraft in Return-to-Home (RTH).

The Return to Home (RTH) function will automatically y the aircraft back to the last

recorded Home Point. RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH,

the aircraft has low battery, or the remote controller signal has been lost (Failsafe RTH is

DJI Flip User Manual

triggered). If the aircraft has recorded the Home Point successfully and the positioning

system is functioning normally, when the RTH function is triggered, the aircraft will

automatically y back and land at the Home Point.

• Home Point: The Home Point will be recorded at takeo as long as the aircraft

has a strong GNSS signal . After the Home Point is recorded, DJI Fly will

issue a voice prompt. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a ight

(such as if you have changed your position), the Home Point can be manually

updated in > Safety page in DJI Fly.

During RTH, the AR RTH route will be displayed on the camera view, helping you to view

the return path and ensure ight safety. The camera view also displays the AR Home

Point. When the aircraft reaches the area above the Home Point, the gimbal camera will

automatically ip downwards. The AR aircraft shadow will appear in the camera view

when the aircraft is approaching the ground, enabling you to control the aircraft to land

more accurately in your preferred location.

The AR Home Point, AR RTH route, and AR aircraft shadow will be displayed in the camera

view by default. The display can be changed in > Safety > AR Settings.

• The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual

ight route in dierent scenarios. Always pay attention to the liveview on the

screen during RTH. Fly with caution.

• During RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt to point the

camera toward the RTH route by default. Using the gimbal dial to adjust

the camera orientation or pressing the customizable buttons on the remote

controller to recenter the camera will stop the aircraft from automatically

adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH route from being

viewed.

Notice

• The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point as normal if the

positioning system is functioning abnormally. During Failsafe RTH, the aircraft

may enter ATTI mode and land automatically if the positioning system is

functioning abnormally.

• When there is no GNSS, do not y over water surfaces, buildings with glass

surface, or in scenarios where the altitude above the ground is greater than

30 meters. If the positioning system is functioning abnormally, the aircraft will

enter ATTI mode.

DJI Flip User Manual

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

and set the RTH altitude.

• The aircraft cannot sense obstacles during RTH if the environment conditions

are not suitable for the sensing system.

• GEO zones may aect the RTH. Avoid ying near GEO zones.

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

high. Fly with caution.

• Pay extra attention to small or ne 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.

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

will descend to the max altitude rst and then continue returning to home.

• The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.

• If there is a large dierence between the current altitude and the RTH altitude,

the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind

speed dierences at dierent altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power

prompts and warning prompts in DJI Fly.

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

be used to control the ight speed, but the orientation and altitude cannot

be controlled and the aircraft cannot be controlled to y to the left or right.

Constantly pushing the pitch stick to accelerate will increase the battery power

consumption speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit RTH if the

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

pitch stick is released.

• If the Home Point is within the Altitude Zone but the aircraft is not in the Altitude

Zone, when the aircraft reaches the Altitude Zone it will descend below the

altitude limit, which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution.

• The aircraft will exit RTH if the surrounding environment is too complex to

complete RTH, even if the sensing system is working properly.

• RTH cannot be triggered during auto landing.

Trigger Method

The user actively triggers RTH

During ight, you can trigger RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote

controller, or tapping

from the left side of the camera view and then pressing and

holding the RTH icon.

DJI Flip User Manual

Aircraft low battery

During ight, if the battery level is low and only sucient to y to the Home Point, a

warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly. If you tap to conrm RTH or do not take action

before the countdown ends, the aircraft will automatically initiate low battery RTH.

If you cancel the low battery RTH prompt and continue ying the aircraft, the aircraft

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

enough to descend from its current altitude.

Auto landing cannot be cancelled but you can still y the aircraft horizontally by moving

the pitch stick and roll stick, and change the descent speed of the aircraft by moving the

throttle stick. Fly the aircraft to a suitable place for landing as soon as possible.

• When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough

power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the

aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.

• DO NOT keep pushing the throttle stick upward during auto landing. Otherwise,

the aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.

Loss of remote controller signal

When the remote controller signal is lost, the aircraft will automatically initiate Failsafe

RTH if the Signal Lost Action is set to RTH.

The aircraft will y backwards 50 m along its original ight route and then perform

the RTH procedure. The aircraft will directly perform the RTH procedure if the signal is

restored when ying backward along the original ight route.

RTH Procedure

After RTH is triggered, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place.

• If the RTH distance is farther than 50 m, it ascends to the RTH altitude and ies back

to the Home Point. The aircraft ies to the Home Point at the current altitude if the

current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude.

[1]

• If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its

orientation and ies straight at the current altitude back to the Home Point.

[2]

• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.

[1] If the forward 3D infrared sensing system detects an obstacle ahead, the aircraft will ascend to

avoid the obstacle. It will stop climbing once the path ahead is clear and then continue to RTH.

If the obstacle height exceeds the altitude limit, the aircraft will brake and hover, and you will

need to take control. If the distance to the obstacle ahead is less than 3 meters, the aircraft will

y backward to a safe distance and then ascend to avoid the obstacle. The aircraft cannot sense

obstacles when ying backward.

DJI Flip User Manual

[2] If the forward 3D infrared sensing system detects an obstacle ahead, the aircraft will brake and

hover, and you will need to take control.

4.4 Auto Landing

In some situations, DJI Flip will land automatically with the landing protection function

supported.

• DO NOT prevent DJI Flip from landing continuously due to a critical low battery.

Otherwise, the battery will be damaged or DJI Flip will crash.

Trigger Method

In the following situations, DJI Flip will land automatically:

• DJI Flip reaches above the Home Point after RTH is triggered.

• DJI Flip has a critical low battery level.

• In Palm Control and Mobile App Control, positioning fails or DJI Flip detects a collision

but does not crash.

Landing Protection

Landing Protection activates during auto landing

The specic actions of DJI Flip are as follows:

• If the ground is determined suitable for landing, DJI Flip will land directly.

• If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, DJI Flip will hover and wait for pilot

conrmation. You can perform palm landing or land DJI Flip manually.

• If DJI Flip fails to determine whether the ground environment is suitable for landing,

DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when DJI Flip descends to a certain distance from

the ground. Conrm the landing prompt and DJI Flip will land. You can also perform

palm landing or land DJI Flip manually.

• Landing Protection only assists in determining the landing environment. Pay

attention to the surrounding environment during landing to ensure safety.

• In the following situations, Landing Protection may be unavailable and DJI Flip

may land directly on unsuitable ground:

◆

Flying over monochrome, reective, or low-light surfaces, a large area of

surfaces without clear texture, or surfaces with dynamic texture, such as

DJI Flip User Manual

smooth ceramic tiles, garage oors with insucient light, and grass blowing

in the wind.

◆

Flying over obstacles without clear texture, such as large rocks, or reective

or monochrome surfaces, such as raised tiles.

◆

Flying over small or ne obstacles, such as power lines and tree branches.

◆

Flying over surfaces that resemble at ground, such as trimmed and at

shrubs, at tree tops, and hemispherical ground.

• In the following situations, Landing Protection may be triggered by mistake

and DJI Flip is unable to land. You can perform palm landing or land DJI Flip

manually.

◆

Flying over surfaces that the vision system may confuse for water, such as

wet ground and areas with puddles.

◆

Flying over at surfaces, but there are surfaces with clear texture (oblique

surfaces or stairs) nearby.

4.5 Sensing System

23 3

1. Forward 3D Infrared Sensing System

2. Downward Vision System

3. Downward Infrared Sensing System

* The 3D infrared sensing system meets the human eye safety requirements for Class 1 laser

products.

DJI Flip User Manual

The forward 3D infrared sensing system can sense the obstacles in the front. It will

activate automatically when the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle

Avoidance Action is set to Brake in DJI Fly. The positioning function of the downward

vision system is applicable when GNSS signals are unavailable or weak.

Obstacle sensing is only available when manually controlling the aircraft to y forward

or during auto RTH. There is no obstacle sensing when using Intelligent Flight Modes

or Smart Snaps.

Notice

• Pay attention to the ight environment. The sensing system only works in

certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During a

ight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings in

DJI Fly, and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times.

• If there is no GNSS available, the downward vision system will assist with aircraft

positioning, and works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 m to 10

m. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 10 m as the

vision positioning performance may be aected.

• The downward vision system may not work properly when the aircraft is ying

near water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below

it when landing. It is recommended to maintain ight control at all times, make

reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid over-

relying on the downward vision system.

• The vision system cannot accurately identify large structures with frames and

cables, such as tower cranes, high-voltage transmission towers, high-voltage

transmission lines, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges.

• The vision system cannot work properly near surfaces without clear pattern

variations or where the lighting is too weak or too strong. The vision system

cannot work properly in the following situations:

◆

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

◆

Flying near highly reective surfaces.

◆

Flying near water or transparent surfaces.

◆

Flying near moving surfaces or objects.

◆

Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes.

◆

Flying near extremely dark (<15 lux) or bright (>10,000 lux) surfaces.

◆

Flying near surfaces that strongly reect or absorb infrared waves (e.g.,

mirrors).

DJI Flip User Manual

◆

Flying near surfaces without clear patterns or textures.

◆

Flying near surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles

with the same design).

◆

Flying near obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches, and

power lines).

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

DO NOT use the aircraft in dusty or humid environments.

• The 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 y when it is rainy, smoggy, or the visibility is lower than 100m.

• DO NOT obstruct the sensing system.

• Check the following each time before takeo:

◆

Make sure there are no stickers or any other obstructions over the glass of

the sensing system.

◆

Use a soft cloth if there is any dirt, dust, or water on the glass of the sensing

system. DO NOT use any cleaning product that contains alcohol.

◆

Contact DJI Support if there is any damage to the lenses of the sensing

system.

• When the aircraft accelerates forward, it will tilt forward. If the aircraft is

manually controlled to y close to the ground, the forward 3D infrared sensing

system may detect obstacles near the ground ahead, causing the aircraft to

automatically decelerate and hover. The aircraft automatically returns to a level

attitude when hovering, and thus the obstacles close to the ground are no

longer detected, allowing the aircraft to continue responding to forward control

stick input. The above phenomenon is normal behavior for the aircraft.

• The performance of the aircraft's infrared sensing system may be aected if

there is interference from infrared light sources in the environment.

4.6 Propellers

There are two types of propellers, which are designed to spin in dierent directions.

Marks are used to indicate which propellers should be attached to which motors. Make

sure to match the propellers and motors by following the instructions.

Notice

• Make sure to only use the screwdriver from the aircraft package for mounting

propellers. Using other screwdrivers may damage the screws.

• Make sure to keep the screws vertical while tightening them. The screws should

not be at a tilted angle to the mounting surface. After installation is complete,

check whether the screws are ush and rotate the propellers to check for any

abnormal resistance.

• The propeller blades are sharp. Handle with care to avoid personal injury or

propeller deformation.

• Make sure that the propellers and motors are installed securely before each

ight. Check to make sure the screws on the propellers are tightened after every

30 hours of ying time (approx. 60 ights).

• The screwdriver is only for mounting the propellers. DO NOT use the

screwdriver to disassemble the aircraft.

• If a propeller is broken, remove the two propellers and screws on the

corresponding motor and discard them. Use two propellers from the same

package. DO NOT mix with propellers from other packages.

• Only use ocial DJI propellers. DO NOT mix propeller types.

• Propellers are consumable components. Purchase additional propellers if

necessary.

• Make sure that all propellers are in good condition before each ight. DO NOT

use aged, chipped, or broken propellers. Clean the propellers with a soft, dry

cloth if there is any foreign matter attached.

• To avoid injury, stay away from rotating propellers or motors.

• To avoid damaging the propellers, place the aircraft correctly during

transportation or storage. DO NOT squeeze or bend the propellers. If propellers

are damaged, the ight performance may be aected.

• Make sure the motors are mounted securely and rotating smoothly. Land the

aircraft immediately if a motor is stuck and unable to rotate freely.

• DO NOT attempt to modify the structure of the motors.

DJI Flip User Manual

• DO NOT touch or let hands or body parts come in contact with the motors after

ight, as they may be hot.

• DO NOT block any of the ventilation holes on the motors or the body of the

aircraft.

• Make sure the ESCs sound normal when powered on.

Notice

• Read and strictly follow the instructions in this manual, in the Safety Guidelines

and on the battery stickers before using the battery. You shall take full

responsibility for all operations and usage.

1. DO NOT charge an Intelligent Flight Battery immediately after ight as it may be too

hot. Wait for the battery to cool down to the allowable charging temperature before

charging again.

2. To prevent damage, the battery only charges when the battery temperature is

between 5° and 40°C (41° and 104°F). The ideal charging temperature is from 22° to

28°C (71.6° to 82.4°F). Charging at the ideal temperature range can prolong battery

life. Charging stops automatically if the temperature of the battery cells exceeds 55°C

(131°F) during charging.

3. Low-Temperature Notice:

• Batteries cannot be used in extremely low-temperature environments of lower

than -10°C (14°F).

• Battery capacity is signicantly reduced when ying at low temperatures from -10°

to 5°C (14° to 41°F). Make sure to fully charge the battery before takeo. Hover

the aircraft in place for a while to warm up the battery after takeo.

• It is recommended to warm up the battery to at least 10°C (50°F) before takeo

when ying in low-temperature environments. The ideal temperature to warm up

the battery is above 20°C (68°F).

• The reduced battery capacity in low-temperature environments reduces the wind

speed resistance performance of the aircraft. Fly with caution.

• Take extra caution when ying at a high elevation with a low temperature.

4. A fully charged battery will automatically discharge when it is idle for a period of time.

Note that it is normal for the battery to emit heat during the discharging process.

5. Fully charge the battery at least once every three months to maintain battery health. If

the battery is not used for an extended period, battery performance may be aected

or may even cause permanent battery damage. If a battery has not been charged or

discharged for three months or more, the battery will no longer be covered by the

warranty.

6. For safety purposes, keep the batteries at a low power level in transit. Before

transportation, it is recommended to discharge the batteries to 30% or lower.
