Aircraft
DJI Air 2S contains a ight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, 
propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Air 2S has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain 
scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and  the Forward, Backward, Upward and Downward Vision 
Systems and Infrared Sensing  System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS  signal is strong, 
the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other 
environment conditions are sucient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate itself and stabilize. 
When the Forward, Backward, Upward and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and 
other environment conditions are sucient, the maximum ight altitude angle is 35° and the maximum 
ight speed is 15 m/s.
Sport Mode: In  Sport Mode, the  aircraft uses GNSS  for positioning  and the  aircraft responses are 
optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum 
ight speed is 19 m/s. Obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport mode.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal  mode and the ight speed is limited, making  the aircraft 
more stable during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or 
disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, 
the aircraft may  be more easily  aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors  such as wind can 
result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces.
The Forward, Backward and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the 
aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft signicantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum 
braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending 
and descending.
The responsiveness of the aircraft signicantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control 
stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make 
sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.
