![]() Control settings – Confirm all settings based on Mission and Flight Requirements.Aircraft status bar – Displays Connected/Ready when all units powered up.In this case and for the scope of this Check List document you are flying Manually in ‘P Mode’ which means you are in complete control. Mode – To get to ‘Orbit’ or additional ‘Assisted Intelligent Flying Modes’ you need to toggle from ‘P’ to ‘F’ on the RC Unit.DJI GO settings – Pre-selected prior to mounting on RC Unit if possible (convenience).DJI GO App – Ensure you are using the latest Stable Build. ![]() Screen Brightness – Set to bright and Auto-Brightness Disabled in Settings.Allow Multiple Apps Enabled in Settings.It means you are piloting but the DJI GO App knows where you and the aircraft are in 3D airspace. This means the Flight Control and Piloting is assisted by the aircraft utilizing all or a combination of GPS positioning, Vision positioning and Barometer positioning. Flight Mode Toggle Switch in ‘P Mode’ which is Positioning Mode.If using Sun Shroud ensure cable is properly routed through access hole and plugged in without sharp bends or binding.Apple MFI Certified Lightening cable plugged into iPad with USB connector plugged into RC Unit.iPad securely mounted and locked into RC Unit clamping bracket.SD card inserted into Aircraft camera slot (metal contacts down) and clicked into place flush with slot.Camera lens filters in-place and securely tightened (Pilot preference if not stock camera set-up).Lens cover, gimbal lock and Aircraft gimbal clamp removed and stored.Battery ( iPad) – Fully charged to 97-100%.Next four (4) LEDs lit white and not flashing when powered on.First LED lit solid Red and not flashing when powered on.Battery ( RC Controller) – Fully charged.Four (4) Green LEDs lit and not flashing.Battery ( Aircraft) – Fully charged and installed correctly (fully seated and locked in-place flush with hull).Props – Secure by hand or with DJI wrench ( Gray cap props on gray posts and clock-wise to tighten, Black cap props on black posts and counter clock-wise to tighten).This typically requires a WiFi connection which might not be available on-site. Firmware – Make sure Aircraft, RC Unit, Smart Batteries and iOS device control software and firmware has been updated prior to arriving on-site.Confirm maximum height of structure to be Orbited or flown over (Minimum Collision Height).Īircraft and Controller Preflight Checklist.Make note of minimum altitude for RTH (Return to Home) flight path based on potential obstructions (posts, trees, structures).Confirm a clear “As the crow flies” direct path from POI to Launch/Land position.Max heights of all vertical structures (buildings, hydro wires, trees, … hydro poles & light posts are typically 20 – 25 metres).Centre of POI to Max Radius for Orbit Mode.Confirm and record distances (use Laser Range Finder if possible).Verify no sources of potential interference such as large metal surfaces, ferromagnetic materials on person or near UAV or metal underground structures (rebar, pipes or conduit, etc) in or around the immediate calibration area.‘ RC Unit‘ is used to refer to the DJI Radio Control unit. Note: This document is written specifically for use with an Apple iOS device and does NOT take into account any functional differences for Operators using an Android device to run the DJI GO App. ‘ iPad‘ is used to refer to the iOS or Android SmartPhone or Tablet used to run the DJI GO App software. ‘ Aircraft‘ is used to refer to the DJI Phantom 3 Professional and is considered interchangeable with UAV, Drone, Quadcopter. It is, however, to ONLY be considered as a minimum baseline reference list and GDSS assumes no liability for content and procedural errors and omissions. It has been compiled using information from multiple sources including the official DJI Owners and Operations Manual, other Owners and Pilots observations, suggestions and SOPs and by the crew at GDSS. NOTE: This is by no means an exhaustive list of checks and procedures. ![]() These checklists are written primarily for a DJI Phantom 3 using an Apple iPad Air 2 and iOS 9.2 (at the time of this writing) :
