safe to allow access to the internet. The second application is the Flight app, which is used
to actually fly the drone, and therefore includes DJI code which could potentially leak data.
The Launcher app creates a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service that blocks all internet
traffic from the Flight app, effectively acting as a firewall. Since the Launcher creates a
Virtual Private Network, this app is incompatible with other Virtual Private Network apps.
Uninstall other VPN apps in order to ensure that the firewall functions properly. The firewall
will automatically start after the device is booted, so the Flight app can be safely run even
if the Launcher app hasn’t been run first.
The second mechanism is a fail-safe in case the firewall is somehow compromised. This
could happen if the DA Launcher app is uninstalled, or force-stopped. The Flight app
makes a check 20 times a second that checks to see if the app can connect to the internet.
If the Flight app detects an internet connection, it will immediately kill its process. This
immediately kills the Ignis application and all of the services started by the DJI Mobile SDK,
preventing any leakage of data.
8 Service and Maintenance
The Ignis system was designed with minimal maintenance requirements. Key to the longevity
of the system is to regularly clean any dust or other buildups from the system and flushing
the fluid reservoir system with clean water as outlined in the Section 4.6. We also recommend
inspecting the needles for clogs or other damage before and after each flight and replacing
them as needed. This section outlines additional maintenance procedures. Please contact
Drone Amplified with any questions.
8.1 Every Flight Maintenance
Before and after every fight the needles should be removed and inspected for blockage and
debris as detailed in 4.1.19. The needles can be cleaned and reused after using a thin rigid
wire to remove any blockage. Eventually the custom-cut of the needle that prevents blockage
may wear and the needle should be replaced. This should be done if a needle regularly collects
debris buildup during flight.
8.2 Daily Maintenance
The post-flight checklist (Section 4.5) goes over all of the daily maintenance that is needed
before storing. This includes:
