5 Aircraft
5.1 Flight Mode
The aircraft supports the following ight modes, which can be switched via the Flight
Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode: Normal mode is suitable for most ight scenarios. The aircraft can hover
precisely, y stably, and use Intelligent Flight Modes. If obstacle sensing is enabled,
obstacles can also be avoided using the omnidirectional vision system.
Sport Mode: The maximum horizontal ight speed of the aircraft will be higher when
compared with Normal mode. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport mode.
Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited ight speed, making the
aircraft more stable during recording.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision system
is unavailable or disabled and 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 drift of the aircraft, which may
present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces. The aircraft will not be able
to hover or brake automatically, therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as
possible to avoid accidents.
• The ight modes are only eective for manual ight and cruise control.
• The vision system is disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft
cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. You must stay alert to the
surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
• 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 in Sport mode or Normal mode.
• 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.
• You may experience shaking in videos recorded in Sport mode.
