Aircraft
Flight Status Indicator
The Phantom 3 Advanced has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are
shown in the gure below:
The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is
turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the
system status of the ight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status
Indicators:
Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Phantom 3 Advanced’s ight controller features several important upgrades, including a new ight
mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your
aircraft if the control signal is lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight
to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air
braking feature.
Flight Mode
Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found below:
P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of
P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Advanced depending on signal strength
of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors :
P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufcient. The aircraft is
using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.
P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for
positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized.
A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses
its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and
the Home Point was recorded successfully.
F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information
about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.
Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight
Mode Switch” on Page 26 for more information.
