Flight
After completing the pre-ight preparation, it is recommended to train your ying skills and practice ying safely. 
Make sure that all ights are carried out in an open area. The ying height is limited to 500 m. DO NOT exceed this 
height. Strictly abide by local laws and regulations when ying. Make sure to read the DJI Avata Safety Guidelines 
to understand the safety notices before ying.
Flight Environment Requirements
1.  Do not operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 10.7 m/s, snow, 
rain, and fog.
2.  Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard 
compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.
3.  Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m above water).
4.  Minimize interference by avoiding areas with  high  levels  of  electromagnetism such as locations near power 
lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
5.  The aircraft and battery performance are limited when ying at high altitudes. Be careful when ying 16,404 ft 
(5,000 m) or more above sea level.
6.  GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in the polar regions. Use the vision system instead.
7.  DO NOT take o from moving objects, such as cars and ships.
8.  In strong winds, the vertical  speed of the  aircraft may be limited. Adjusting  the nose of  the aircraft to fly 
downwind can reduced power loss for a greater vertical speed.
Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
DJI’s  Geospatial  Environment Online  (GEO) System  is  a global  information  system that  provides real-time 
information on ight safety and restriction updates and prevents UAVs from ying in restricted airspace. Under 
exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow ights in. Prior to that, the user must submit 
an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended ight area. The GEO system may not 
fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own ight safety and must consult 
with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a ight in a 
restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji.com/ysafe.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, ight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set ight 
limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage ight 
safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
Maximum ight altitude restricts an aircraft’s ight altitude, while maximum ight distance restricts an aircraft’s ight 
radius around the Home Point. These limits can be set using the goggles for improved ight safety.
