Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems 5.0 (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 and obtain smoother footage for 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, go to DJI Fly and select
> Safety > Bypass.
Select Normal or Nifty mode when using Bypass. Nifty mode, the aircraft can fly faster,
smoother, and closer to obstacles obtaining better footage while avoiding obstacles. Meanwhile,
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.
