Altitude
Zones (Gray)
The aircraft altitude
is limited when flying
inside an Altitude
Zone.
When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft
cannot fly above the altitude limit.
In Flight: when the GNSS signal changes from
weak to strong, a 100-second countdown will
commence in DJI Pilot 2 if the aircraft exceeds
the altitude limit. When the countdown is
finished, the aircraft will descend below the
altitude limit and hover.
When the aircraft approaches the boundary of
an Altitude Zone and the GNSS signal is strong,
the aircraft will decelerate automatically and
hover if the aircraft is above the altitude limit.
Semi-Automatic Descent: All stick commands except the throttle stick command and the
RTH button are available during descent and landing. The aircraft motors will turn off
automatically after landing. It is recommended to fly the aircraft to a safe location before
the semi-automatic descent.
Buffer Zone
Buffer Zones for Restricted Zones/Authorization Zones: to prevent the aircraft from
accidentally flying into a Restricted or Authorization Zone, the GEO system creates a buffer
zone of about 20 meters wide outside each Restricted and Authorization Zone. As shown
in the illustration below, the aircraft can only take off and land away from the Restricted
or Authorization Zone when inside the buffer zone. The aircraft cannot fly toward the
Restricted or Authorization Zone unless an unlocking request has been approved. The
aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone after leaving the buffer zone.
Buffer Zones for Altitude Zones: a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide is established
outside each Altitude Zone. As shown in the illustration below, when approaching the
buffer zone of an Altitude Zone in a horizontal direction, the aircraft will gradually reduce
its flight speed and hover outside the buffer zone. When approaching the buffer zone from
underneath in a vertical direction, the aircraft can ascend and descend in altitude or fly
away from the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly toward the Altitude Zone. The aircraft
cannot fly back into the buffer zone in a horizontal direction after leaving the buffer zone.
