Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery

Aircraft Status Indicators

DJI Mavic 3 has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.

When the aircraft is powered on but the motors are not running, the front LEDs glow solid red to display the orientation of the aircraft.
When the aircraft is powered on but the motors are not running, the aircraft status indicators display the status of the flight control system. Refer to the table below for more information about the aircraft status indicators.

Aircraft Status Indicator States

After the motor starts, the front LEDs blink red and green alternately and the aircraft status indicators blink green

To obtain better footage, the front LEDs turn off automatically when shooting if the front LEDs are set to auto in DJI Fly. Lighting requirements vary depending on region. Observe local laws and regulations

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.

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 vision systems when Smart RTH triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.

Advanced RTH Procedure

The Home Point is recorded.
Advanced RTH is triggered.
The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
1. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
2. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the best RTH path 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.
In order to save power and time, the aircraft will automatically adjust to an angle of 19° and fly to the Home Point once it is near the Home Point. The time when the aircraft adjust the angle and flies to the Home Point varies depending on the environment and video transmission signal.
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 vision systems. Straight Line RTH Procedure:

The Home Point is recorded.
Straight Line RTH is triggered.
The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

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. The aircraft will return to the Home Point on the best possible path according to the environment. 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:

The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
1. 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.
2. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line RTH.
3. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

The aircraft will remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored during Original Route RTH.

Landing Protection

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

During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable ground.
If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for pilot confirmation.
If Landing Protection is not operational, DJI Fly will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends below 0.5 m. Pull down on the throttle stick or use the auto landing slider to land..

Precision Landing

The aircraft automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features below during RTH. When the current terrain matches the Home Point terrain, the aircraft will land. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly if the terrain match fails.

Landing Protection is activated during Precision Landing.
The Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions:
- The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight. Otherwise, the aircraft will have no record of the Home Point terrain features.
- During takeoff, the aircraft must ascend at least 7 m before flying horizontally.
- The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged.
- The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as snow-covered areas are not suitable.
- The lighting conditions must not be too light or too dark.
The following actions are available during Precision Landing:
- Press the throttle stick down to accelerate landing.
- Move the control sticks in any direction to stop Precision Landing. The aircraft will descend vertically after the control sticks are released

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mavic 3 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.

Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS 5.0)

The Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems 5.0 (APAS 5.0) feature is available in Normal and Cine mode. When APAS is enabled, the aircraft continues to respond to user commands and plans its path according to control stick inputs and the flight environment. APAS makes it easier to avoid obstacles, obtain smoother footage, and gives a better flying experience.
Keep moving the control sticks in any directions. The aircraft will avoid the obstacles by flying above, below, or to the left or right of the obstacle. The aircraft can also response to the control stick inputs while avoiding obstacles.
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the remote controller or tapping the screen in DJI Fly. The aircraft hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot commands.
To enable APAS, open DJI Fly, enter System Settings, then Safety, and enable APAS by selecting Bypass
