Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator in the DJI Pilot App to practice
the flight skills and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , snow, rain
and smog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass
and GPS signal.
3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water.
4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, in- cluding
mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature.
Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft
performance may be reduced.
6. The The Phantom 4 cannot operate within the polar areas.
Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area
Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section.
All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as
the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety
reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight
limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones.
When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode
only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters.
Max Height & Radius Limits
Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App.
Once complete, your The Phantom 4 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The
tables below show the details of these limits.
