Flight
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Once pre-flight preparation is complete it is recommended that you use the flight simulator to hone your
flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. Before fly, be sure
to read the “Disclaimer and Safety Instructions” for the safety.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
▪ DO NOT use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include above six-grade wind force，
snow, rain, etc.
▪ Only fly in open areas. Tall structure and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the
on-board compass and GPS system.
▪ Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and water.
▪ Minimize interference with the control between the remote control and the aircraft by avoiding areas
with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations, and radio transmission towers.
▪ Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature. Be very careful when flying at altitude greater 6000 meters above sea level, as the
performance of the battery and aircraft be affected seriously.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and
regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by default, which
helps user operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance limits, and
No-Fly Zones.
When operating in G-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to manage
flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect.
No-Fly Zone
No-Fly Zones are divided into Airport Restricted Zone and Restrictions Area
Airport
（1） Airport Restricted Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted Zones and Restricted Altitude Zones.
Each zone features circles of various sizes.
（2） R2 miles (value of the R2 depends on the size and shape of the special location) around the special
location is a Restricted Altitude Zones. R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of
airport) around the airport is a Take-off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.
47
（3） From R1 mile to R2 mile around airport, the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination starting at
20 meter from the edge of airport and radiating outward.
Restrictions Area
（1） Special Flight Restriction Areas refer to cities with special flight restrictions, such as Beijing and Xinjiang.
Special flight restrictions include: "Take-off Restricted Area" and "Warning Zone."
（2） R miles around the designated Restriction Area is a Take-off Restricted Area. Aircraft cannot take off
within this zone. The value of R varies based on the definition of the Restricted Area.
