Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings
Flight Modes
To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:
1.
DO NOT switch from P-mode to either A-mode or F-mode unless you are sufciently familiar with
the aircraft’s behavior for each ight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to y
the aircraft safely.
2.
The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances:
a. Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference.
b. Active: Users toggle the ight mode switch to A-mode.
In A-mode, some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position in this mode
and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote
controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difcult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make
sure you are comfortable ying in this mode. DO NOT y the aircraft too far away as you might lose
control and cause a potential hazard.
Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be
forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential ight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as
possible.
P-mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A-mode where and when P-mode is
unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A-mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious
when ying in A-mode.
1. P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are different states of
P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Matrice 600 Pro depending on GPS signal strength:
a. P-GPS: GPS is available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
b. P-ATTI: When GPS is not available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only
altitude is controlled.
2. A-mode (Attitude): The GPS is NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain
altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the remote controller
signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.
3. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Flight is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar with Intelligent Flight
functions before use.
If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A-mode), you are required to accept the
prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree
that data including but not limited to ight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and
maintained on a DJI-designated server.
