Flight Environment Requirements

- Do not fly inside your house/office/store unless you really want to trash it. Why? Just have a quick look a the

“Failsafe” section then measure the height of your ceiling. But if you really need to fly inside, watch this:

Flying your DJI Phantom inside? Some things to consider...

- Note wind direction

and weather conditions (actual and forecast). Do not use the aircraft in severe weather

conditions. These include wind (more that moderate breeze), snow, rain and smog. Watch out for wind gusts as they

are more of a problem that steady wind, especially when up in the air. To watch: High Wind/Wind Shadow-Flying Tips

- Planning to do some winter flying, watch:

Winter R/C Flying Tips

and Tips for winter flying with your Phantom - snow, fog, ice, batteries...

- Check for any hazards, high buildings, steel structures, constructions, vehicular traffic, personal property that may

affect the accuracy of the onboard compass or flight plan.

- Be careful when flying near tall structure/building. If you fly behind, you may lose connection. Also air/wind is a

matter and if it encounters an obstruction, huge pressure shifts are taking place that might create a vortex big

enough to get you into trouble.

- Stay away from obstacles, crowds, pets, birds, trees, bushes, or water. Do not fly over people or moving vehicles (the

Phantom is heavy; if it drops...) and keep children away. Use common sense to stay safe and protect others from harm.

- It is recommended not to take off from any kind of metallic structure like manhole cover, top of your car, reinforced

concrete and so on. Best way to take off will always be on a flat surface: ground, grass, portable landing pad…

- Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference (EMI) by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism,

including cellular towers, electricity pylons or power lines. Urban environments have more EMI interference.

- Avoid interference between the Remote Control or on-board Wi-Fi device and other wireless equipment including

your own or nearby houses wireless routers. This explains why it’s not really wise to fly in your backyard. Also, it’s

a good idea to ask other persons near you and carrying a smartphone to turn then off.

- Watch out for geomagnetic/solar storms. When the K-Index is at higher level(5+), it has a direct impact on GPS and

affect radio signals which can cause issues in obtaining lock in regards to satellites. To monitor the K-Index you can

use the following website: Planetary K-index or this Estimated 3-hour Planetary K Index.

- Check out what are the rules/laws/regulations in your country about flying these “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” (UAVs).

At the same time, check if you need any kind of license, insurance or personal liability insurance, especially if you're

planning on flying it commercially.

- Verify for airport, air traffic and restricted air space. Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local

laws and regulations. If you’re in the US or Canada, a good site to visit is the Don't Fly Drones Here

web site.

This map represents areas where it is not recommended to fly drones due to regulations.

- Planning a trip? Be sure to watch Traveling with your DRONE + New FAA Rules about FPV

- For people who have issues with weak GPS satellites locked, someone recommended this nice tool to check and

see exactly how many GPS satellites should be visible based on a specified location, the day and time. Have a look:

Satellite Predictor Tool

(Just make sure “glonass” is unticked, otherwise you will think its fine to fly all day). There

are some interesting APPS that shows GPS status, for IOS: GPS Plan

and Android: GPS Test / AndroiTS GPS Test

- Do not fly if you’re drunk, taking drugs, under the influence of anesthesia, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and any other

conditions both physical and mental that could impair your ability.

- In case of emergency/problem…DON’T PANIC! Make sure you read the “Always be prepared for the worst” section.

- Plan you flight in advance. Where are you going, what are you going to do and so on

- Remember, this is literally a “flying camera”, so be sure you protect the privacy of others.

- Be sure to watch: Dude where can I fly my drone?

- And finally, try to never lose Line of Sight (LOS) with your Phantom.

Better Fly Safe Than Sorry!
