Aircraft
The Mavic Air contains a ight controller, video downlink system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent
Flight Battery. Refer to the aircraft diagram in the Product Prole section.
Flight Modes
The Mavic Air has two ight modes that users can select, plus a third ight mode that the aircraft falls
back to in certain circumstances:
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS and
the Vision Systems to locate itself, stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes
such as SmartCapture, QuickShots, TapFly, and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward and Backward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting conditions are sucient, the
maximum ight attitude angle is 15° and the maximum ight speed is 17.9 mph (28.8 kph).
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.
S-mode (Sport): In S-mode the aircraft uses GPS only for positioning and the Forward and Backward
Vision Systems are disabled. As such, the aircraft is not able to sense and avoid obstacles and
Intelligent Flight Modes are not available.
Note: In S-mode aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to
stick movements.
ATTI mode: The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude mode (ATTI mode) when the Vision Systems
are unavailable or disabled and either the GPS signal is weak or the compass is experiencing
interference. When the Vision Systems are unavailable the aircraft is not able to position itself or auto-
brake, so potential ight hazards exist when ying in ATTI mode. In ATTI mode, the aircraft is easily
aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which
may present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces.
It is strongly recommended that you nd a safe place to land as soon as possible if the aircraft
enters ATTI mode. To reduce the likelihood of the aircraft entering ATTI mode and minimize
hazards if it does enter ATTI mode, avoid ying in areas where the GPS signal is weak and
avoid ying in conned spaces.
The Forward and Backward Vision Systems are disabled in S-mode, which means the aircraft
will not be able to automatically sense obstacles on its route.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode. A
minimum braking distance of 98.4 ft (30 m) is required in windless conditions.
Descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode.
The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode, which means a small stick
movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft. Be
vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.
Enable “Multiple Flight Modes” in the DJI GO 4 app to allow switching between S-mode and
P-mode.
Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to switch between Flight Modes.
S-mode is only available with a Mavic Air remote controller. S-mode is disabled when ying
with a mobile device.
