Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the DJI Pilot
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 speed exceeding 10 m/s ,
snow, rain and smog.
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 Advanced cannot operate within the polar areas.
Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones
All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as
the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For
safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and
legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones.
When operating in “P” Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In “A”
mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 1640 feet (500 m) .
Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits
Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI Pilot app. Be aware that the
maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your
Phantom 3 Advanced fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:
