Calibrating the Compass
IMPORTANT: Be sure to calibrate the compass for every new ight location. The compass is a very
sensitive instrument that requires regular calibration to ensure optimal ight performance. Abnormal
compass data due to a lack of calibration can lead to poor ight performance or even failure.
Do NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference,
such as magnetite quarries, parking structures, and underground steel reinforcements.
Do NOT carry ferromagnetic objects such as keys with you during calibration.
Do NOT calibrate besides massive metal objects.
Do NOT calibrate in an indoor space.
Calibration Procedures
Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures.
1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-ight
preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap the System
Status bar in the app and select Calibrate, then follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the
aircraft step-by-step.
2. Hold the aircraft horizontally, and rotate it 360 degrees along the central axis. The Aircraft Status
Indicator will emit a solid green light.
3. Hold the aircraft vertically with its nose pointing downwards, and rotate it 360 degrees around its
central axis.
4. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator becomes solid red.
If the Aircraft Status Indicator ashes red and yellow alternatively after compass calibration,
move your aircraft to a different location to carry out the calibration.
Calibrate the compass after you launch the DJI Pilot app if you are prompted to do so.
When to Recalibrate
1. The compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is ashing red and yellow alternatively.
