This chapter describes processes used in typical usage cases
6.4.1.1
AIRCRAFT FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Refer to the Overview and setup chapter, in the
Firmware upgrade
section.
6.4.1.2
CALIBRATING / TRIMMING AIRCRAFT
Trimming the aircraft is a mechanism to compensate for a horizontal drift while no controls are touched.
For a successful trimming, you need to be able to fly in a wide-open space with no obstacles or people in the
area for safety reasons. Turbulence can occur if the area is too narrow.
IF THE TRIMMING PROCEDURE OF DJI GO WAS USED IN THE PAST, PLEASE RECALIBRATE THE
STICKS BEFORE USING THE TRIM FEATURE IN COCKPIT.
TRIM RANGE IS VOLUNTARILY LIMITED TO A PART OF THE FULL CONTROL RANGE. THIS
PREVENTS CASES SUCH AS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING THE TRIM VALUE UP TO THE MAXIMUM
HORIZONTAL SPEED WHICH MAKES THE AIRCRAFT DIFFICULT TO STOP.
6.4.1.3
MANUAL TRIMMING
1.
Have the aircraft flying in a safe place, if possible open enough to avoid airflows from the propellers
blow back on the aircraft.
2.
Open trim panel in settings.
3.
For accurate trimming, tap the arrows on the upper right pad. You can alternately use the trackpad to
set a trim position.
6.4.1.4
USING THE AUTOTRIM FUNCTION
1.
Have the aircraft flying in a safe place, if possible open enough to avoid airflows from the propellers
blow back on the aircraft.
2.
Open trim panel in settings.
Using the pitch & roll stick, find the position in which the aircraft is stationary. The small cross indicates the
current stick position relative to the current trim. Don’t use aggressive stick motions, but instead try to find a
constant stick position combination that stabilizes the aircraft and prevents it from drifting horizontally.
