Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI GO
app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open
area.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,
snow, rain and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the on-
board compass and GPS system.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations
and radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature.Be very careful when flying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea
level, as the performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.
6. The Phantom 3 4K cannot operate within the polar areas.
Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones
All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and
regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default,
which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance
limits, and No-Fly Zones.
When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to
manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft
altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .
Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits
Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum
flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 3
4K will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:
