2.2 Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
The DJI Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system that provides real-time information on flight safety and restriction updates and prevents
UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. Under exceptional circumstances, restricted areas can be unlocked to allow flights. Prior to that, you must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully align with local laws and regulations. You are responsible for your own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a restricted area. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://fly-safe.dji.com.
GEO Zones
The DJI GEO system designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety notices for individual flights, and offers information on restricted airspace. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, which are further divided into Restricted Zones, Authorization Zones, Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, and Altitude Zones. You can view such information in real-time in DJI Pilot 2. GEO Zones are specific flight areas, including but not limited to airports, large event venues, locations where public emergencies have occurred (such as forest fires), nuclear power plants, prisons, government properties, and military facilities. By default, the GEO system limits takeoffs and flights in zones that may cause safety or security concerns. A GEO Zone map that contains comprehensive information on GEO Zones around the globe is available on the official DJI website: https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query.
Flight Restrictions
The following section describes in detail the flight restrictions for the above mentioned GEO Zones.
Restricted Zones (Red)
UAVs are prohibited from flying in Restricted Zones. If you have obtained permission to fly in a Restricted Zone, visit https://fly-safe.dji.com or contact flysafe@dji.com to unlock the zone.
Scenario
Takeoff: the aircraft motors cannot be started in Restricted Zones.
In Flight: when the aircraft flies inside a Restricted Zone, a 100-second countdown will commence in DJI Pilot 2. When the countdown is finished, the aircraft will land immediately in semi-automatic descent mode and turn off its motors after landing.
In Flight: when the aircraft approaches the boundary of a Restricted Zone, the aircraft will automatically decelerate and hover.
Authorization Zones (Blue)
The aircraft will not be able to take off in an Authorization Zone unless it obtains a permission to fly in the area.
Scenario
Takeoff: the aircraft motors cannot be started in Authorization Zones. To fly in an Authorization Zone, the user is required to submit an unlocking request registered with a DJI-verified phone number.
In Flight: when the aircraft flies inside an Authorization Zone, a 100-second countdown will commence in DJI Pilot 2. When the countdown is finished, the aircraft will land immediately in semi-automatic descent mode and turn off its motors after landing.
Warning Zones (Yellow)
A warning will be displayed when the aircraft flies inside a Warning Zone.
Scenario
The aircraft can fly in the zone but the user is required to understand the warning.
Enhanced Warning Zones (Orange)
When the aircraft flies in an Enhanced Warning Zone, a warning will be displayed prompting the user to confirm the flight path.
Scenario
The aircraft can continue to fly once the warning is confirmed.
Altitude Zones (Gray)
The aircraft altitude is limited when flying inside an Altitude Zone.
Scenario
When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft cannot fly above the altitude limit.
In Flight: when the GNSS signal changes from weak to strong, a 100-second countdown will commence in DJI Pilot 2 if the aircraft exceeds the altitude limit. When the countdown is finished, the aircraft will descend below the altitude limit and hover.
When the aircraft approaches the boundary of an Altitude Zone and the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft will decelerate automatically and hover if the aircraft is above the altitude limit.

- Semi-Automatic Descent: all stick commands except the throttle stick command and the RTH button are available during descent and landing. The aircraft motors will turn off automatically after landing. It is recommended to fly the aircraft to a safe location before the semi-automatic descent.
Buffer Zone
Buffer Zones for Restricted Zones/Authorization Zones
To prevent the aircraft from accidentally flying into a Restricted or Authorization Zone, the GEO system creates a buffer zone of about 20 meters wide outside each Restricted and Authorization Zone. As shown in the illustration below, the aircraft can only take off and land in place or fly toward an opposite direction of the Restricted or Authorization Zone when inside the buffer zone, and cannot fly toward the Restricted or Authorization Zone unless an unlocking request has been approved. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone after leaving the buffer zone.
Buffer Zones for Altitude Zones
A buffer zone of about 20 meters wide is established outside each Altitude Zone. As shown in the illustration below, when approaching the buffer zone of an Altitude Zone in a horizontal direction, the aircraft will gradually reduce its flight speed and hover outside the buffer zone. When approaching the buffer zone from underneath in a vertical direction, the aircraft can ascend and descend in altitude or fly in an opposite direction of the Altitude Zone, but cannot fly toward the Altitude Zone. The aircraft cannot fly back into the buffer zone in a horizontal direction after leaving the buffer zone.

Unlocking GEO Zones
Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking, you must submit an unlocking request via the DJI FlySafe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com. Once the unlocking request is approved, you can synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Pilot 2 app. To unlock the zone, alternatively, you can launch or fly the aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and follow the prompts in DJI Pilot 2 to unlock the zone.
Custom Unlocking is tailored for users with special requirements. It designates user-defined custom flight areas and provides flight permission documents specific to the needs of different users. This unlocking option is available in all countries and regions and can be requested via the DJI FlySafe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com.
Unlocking on Mobile Device: Run the DJI Pilot 2 app and tap GEO Zone Map on the home screen. View the list of the unlocking licenses and tap ⓘ to view details of the unlocking license. A link to the unlocking license and a QR code will be displayed. Use your mobile device to scan the QR code and apply to unlock directly from the mobile device.

- To ensure flight safety, the aircraft will not be able to fly out of the unlocked zone after entering it. If the Home Point is outside the unlocked zone, the aircraft will not be able to return home.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
Max altitude restricts the flight altitude of the aircraft, while max distance restricts the flight radius around the Home Point of the aircraft. These limits can be changed in the DJI Pilot 2 app for improved flight safety.

| Flight Restrictions Prompt in DJI Pilot 2 App | ||
| Max Altitude | Altitude of the aircraft cannot exceed the value set in DJI Pilot 2. | Max flight altitude reached. |
| Max Distance | The straight-line distance from the aircraft to the Home Point cannot exceed the max flight distance set in DJI Pilot 2. | Max flight distance reached. |
Weak GNSS Signal
| Flight Restrictions Prompt in DJI Pilot 2 App | ||
| Max Altitude | • Altitude is restricted to 60 m from the takeoff point if lighting is sufficient.• Altitude is restricted to 3 m above the ground if lighting is not sufficient and the 3D infrared sensing system is functioning.• Altitude is restricted to 60 m from the takeoff point if lighting is not sufficient and the 3D infrared sensing system is not functioning. | Max flight altitude reached. |
| Max Distance No | limit | |

• Each time the aircraft is powered on, the altitude limit will be automatically removed as long as the GNSS signal becomes strong (GNSS signal strength ≥ 2), and the limit will not take effect even if the GNSS signal becomes weak afterwards.
- If the aircraft flies out of the set flight range due to inertia, you can still control the aircraft but cannot fly it any further away.
2.3 Flight Environment Requirements
- DO NOT fly in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, snow, rain, and fog.
- Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. After takeoff, make sure you are notified with the voice prompt that the Home Point is updated before continuing flight. If the aircraft has taken off near buildings, the accuracy of the Home Point cannot be guaranteed. In this case, pay close attention to the current position of
the aircraft during auto RTH. When the aircraft is close to the Home Point, it is recommended to cancel auto RTH and manually control the aircraft to land at an appropriate location.
- Fly the aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS). Avoid mountains and trees blocking GNSS signals. Any flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can be conducted only when the aircraft performance, the knowledge and skills of the pilot, and the operational safety management are compliant with local regulations for BVLOS. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water. For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft near airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas, unless any permit or approval is obtained under local regulations.
- Make sure the beacon and the auxiliary bottom light are enabled at night for flight safety.
- The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when flying at high altitudes. Fly with caution. DO NOT fly above the specified altitude.
- The braking distance of the aircraft is affected by the flight altitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When flying at high altitudes, you should reserve adequate braking distance to ensure flight safety.
- GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead.
- DO NOT take off from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.
- DO NOT take off from solid-colored surfaces or surfaces with strong reflections such as a car roof.
- Be careful when taking off in the desert or from a beach to avoid sand entering the aircraft.
- DO NOT operate the aircraft near bird flocks.

- Make sure to remove the gimbal protector before powering on the aircraft.
- Make sure the remote controller antennas are adjusted to the proper position.
- Make sure the firmware of all devices and DJI Pilot 2 have been updated to the latest versions.
- Power on the aircraft and the remote controller, and toggle the flight mode switch to N-mode. Make sure the status LED on the remote controller and the battery level indicators on the aircraft are solid green. This indicates that the aircraft and the remote controller are linked, and the remote controller is in control of the aircraft.
- Make sure your flight area is inside approved zones for UAVs, and flight conditions are suitable for flying the aircraft. Place the aircraft on open and flat ground. Make sure there are no obstacles, buildings, or trees nearby and that the aircraft is 5 m away from the pilot. The pilot should be facing the rear of the aircraft.
- To ensure flight safety, enter the flight view of DJI Pilot 2 and check the parameters on the preflight checklist.
-
Make sure DJI Pilot 2 is properly opened to assist your operation of the aircraft. WITHOUT THE FLIGHT DATA RECORDED BY THE DJI Pilot 2 APP, IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS (INCLUDING THE LOSS OF YOUR AIRCRAFT), DJI MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AFTER SALES SUPPORT TO YOU OR ASSUME LIABILITY.
-
Divide the airspace for flight when multiple aircrafts are operating simultaneously in order to avoid collision mid-air.
Starting/Stopping the Motors
Starting the Motors
Perform one of the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) as shown below to start the motors. Once the motors have started spinning, release both sticks simultaneously.

Stopping the Motors
The motors can be stopped in two ways:
Method 1: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle stick down and hold until the motors stop.

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, perform one of the CSC as shown below until the motors stop.

Stopping the Motors Mid-Flight

- Stopping the motors mid-flight will cause the aircraft to crash.
The Combination Stick Command (CSC) can be used to stop the motors once the flight controller detects critical error during flight.
Controlling the Aircraft
The control sticks of the remote controller can be used to control the aircraft movements. The control sticks can be operated in Mode 1, Mode 2, or Mode 3, as shown below.
The default control mode of the remote controller is Mode 2. In this manual, Mode 2 is used as an example to illustrate how to use the control sticks. The more the stick is pushed away from the center, the faster the aircraft moves.

4 Aircraft
4.1 Flight Modes
The aircraft supports the following flight modes, which can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

| Position Flight Mode |
| F Function mode |
| S Sport mode |
| N Normal mode |
Normal Mode
Normal Mode is suitable for most flight scenarios. The aircraft can hover precisely, fly stably, and use Intelligent Flight Modes. If obstacle sensing is enabled, obstacles can also be avoided using the vision system.
Sport Mode
The maximum horizontal flight speed of the aircraft will be higher when compared with Normal mode. Note that obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport Mode.
Function Mode
Function mode can be set to T-mode (Tripod mode) or A-mode (Attitude mode) in DJI Pilot 2. T-mode is based on Normal mode. The flight speed is limited to allow easier control of the aircraft. Attitude mode must be used with caution.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the vision systems are unavailable or disabled and the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal drift of the aircraft, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces. The aircraft will not be able to hover or brake automatically, therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
If the aircraft is flying in the EU, the aircraft will switch to Low Speed mode when the flight mode is switched to F (T-mode) on the remote controller. Low Speed mode limits the maximum horizontal flight speed to 2.8 m / s based on Normal mode, and there is no limit for the ascent or descent speed.

• DO NOT switch from Normal mode to other modes unless you are sufficiently familiar with the aircraft behavior under each flight mode. You must turn on
Multiple Flight Modes in DJI Pilot 2 before switching from Normal mode to other modes.

- The vision systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically. The user must stay alert to the surrounding environment and control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.
- The maximum flight speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode. When flying in windless conditions, make sure to maintain enough braking distance to ensure flight safety.
- When the aircraft is ascending or descending in Sport mode or Normal mode in windless conditions, make sure to maintain enough vertical braking distance to ensure flight safety.
- The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote control device translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.

4.7 Intelligent Flight Battery
Notice

- Refer to the Safety Guidelines and the stickers on the battery before use. Users shall take full responsibility for all operation and usage.
- DO NOT charge an Intelligent Flight Battery immediately after flight as it may be too hot. Wait for the battery to cool down to the allowable charging temperature before charging again.
-
To prevent damage, the battery only charges when the battery temperature is within the allowable charging temperature. The ideal charging temperature is from 22° to 28° C ( 71.6° to 82.4° F). Charging at the ideal temperature range can prolong battery life. Charging stops automatically if the temperature of the battery cells exceed 55° C ( 131° F) during charging.
-
Low Temperature Notice:
-
Batteries cannot be used in extremely low-temperature environments of lower than -10° C ( 14° F).
- Battery capacity is significantly reduced when flying in low-temperature environments. Hover the aircraft in place for a while to warm up the battery after takeoff.
- In low-temperature environments, it is recommended to warm up the battery to room temperature before take off and keep the battery warm before use
to reduce the warm-up time. In extremely cold weather, insulate the battery as required.
- The reduced battery capacity in low-temperature environments reduces the wind speed resistance performance of the aircraft. Fly with caution.
• Take extra caution when flying at a high elevation with a low temperature.
- When the aircraft is in flight after the above conditions are satisfied, and the DJI Pilot 2 app shows a critically low battery level warning, the user is advised to stop flying immediately and land the aircraft in an appropriate place. During auto landing, users can still use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation. For example, users can push the throttle stick to lift the aircraft.
-
A fully charged battery will automatically discharge when it is idle for a period of time. Note that it is normal for the battery to emit heat during the discharging process.
-
Fully charge the battery at least once every three months to maintain battery health. If the battery is not used for an extended period, battery performance may be affected or may even cause permanent battery damage. If a battery has not been charged or discharged for three months or more, the battery will no longer be covered by the warranty.
-
For safety purposes, keep the batteries at a low power level in transit. Before transportation, it is recommended to discharge the batteries to 30% or lower.
-
Over-discharge protection is enabled and discharging stops automatically to prevent over-discharge when the aircraft is idle. Charge the battery to wake it from over-discharge protection before using again. Over-discharge protection is not enabled during flight.
-
Over-discharging will lead to serious damage of the battery. If the battery level is less than 10% while the aircraft is idle, the battery enters Hibernation mode to prevent over-discharge.
Inserting/Removing the Battery
Insert the Intelligent Flight Battery into the battery compartment of the aircraft. Make sure the battery is fully inserted with a clicking sound, which indicates the battery buckles are securely fastened.

Press the battery buckle to remove the battery from the compartment.

- DO NOT insert or remove the battery while the aircraft is powered on.

4.8 Aircraft RTK
The built-in RTK module of the aircraft can withstand strong magnetic interference from metal structures and high-voltage lines, ensuring safe and stable flight. When used with
a D-RTK product (sold separately) or a DJI-approved Network RTK service, more accurate positioning data can be obtained.

- Visit https://enterprise.dji.com/matrice-4-series/downloads to view the accessory user guide and learn about how to use the product.
Enabling/Disabling RTK
Ensure that the RTK function is enabled and the RTK service type is correctly set before each use. Otherwise, RTK cannot be used for positioning. Go to DJI Pilot 2, tap Camera View >••• to view and check the settings.

- RTK positioning can be enabled and disabled during flight.
• After RTK is enabled, Maintain Positioning Accuracy Mode can be used.
Custom Network RTK
To use Custom Network RTK, make sure that the remote controller has been mounted with DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and install a nano-SIM card, or that the remote controller has a Wi-Fi connection. Keep the remote controller powered on and connected to the internet when using this function. Custom Network RTK can be used to replace the RTK station. Connect the Custom Network RTK account to the designated NTRIP server to send and receive differential data.
- Make sure that the remote controller is connected to the aircraft and the internet.
- Go to DJI Pilot 2, tap Camera View > ⋯, select Custom Network RTK as the RTK service type and fill in the required information. Then tap Save.
- Wait to connect to the NTRIP server. In the RTK settings, when the status of the aircraft's positioning in the status table shows "FIX", it indicates that the aircraft has obtained and used differential data from Network RTK.
4.9 Return to Home
Carefully read the contents of this section to ensure you are familiar with the behavior of the aircraft in Return-to-Home (RTH).
The Return to Home (RTH) function will automatically fly the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. RTH can be triggered in three ways: the user actively triggers RTH, the aircraft has low battery, or the remote controller signal has been lost (Failsafe RTH is triggered). If the aircraft has recorded the Home Point successfully and the positioning
system is functioning normally, when the RTH function is triggered, the aircraft will automatically fly back and land at the Home Point.

- Home Point: The Home Point will be recorded at takeoff as long as the aircraft has a strong GNSS signal or the lighting is sufficient. After the Home Point is recorded, DJI Pilot 2 will issue a voice prompt. If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as if you have changed your position), the Home Point can be manually updated in • >• >Control in DJI Pilot 2.
During RTH, the AR RTH route will be displayed on the camera view, helping you to view the return path and ensure flight safety. The camera view also displays the AR Landing Point. When the aircraft reaches the area above the Home Point, the gimbal camera will automatically flip downwards. The AR aircraft shadow will appear in the camera view when the aircraft is approaching the ground, enabling you to control the aircraft to land more accurately in your preferred location. The display can be changed in * > * > Assist.

- The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual flight route in different scenarios. Always pay attention to the liveview on the screen during RTH. Fly with caution.
- During RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt to point the camera toward the RTH route by default. Using the gimbal dial to adjust the camera orientation or pressing the customizable buttons on the remote controller to recenter the camera will stop the aircraft from automatically adjusting the gimbal tilt, which may prevent the AR RTH route from being viewed.
Notice

- The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point as normal if the positioning system is functioning abnormally. During Failsafe RTH, the aircraft may enter ATTI mode and land automatically if the positioning system is functioning abnormally.
- When there is no GNSS, do not fly over water surfaces, buildings with glass surface, or in scenarios where the altitude above the ground is greater than 30 meters. If the positioning system is functioning abnormally, the aircraft will enter ATTI mode.
- It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot 2 and set the RTH altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100m .
- The aircraft cannot sense obstacles during RTH if the environment conditions are not suitable for the sensing system.
- GEO zones may affect the RTH. Avoid flying near GEO zones.
- The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point if the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.
- Pay extra attention to small or fine objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such as water or glass) during RTH. Exit RTH and control the aircraft manually in an emergency.
- Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or transmission towers that the aircraft cannot bypass on the RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.
- The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the Advanced RTH settings in DJI Pilot 2 are changed during RTH.
- If the max altitude is adjusted below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude first and then continue returning to home.
• The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.
- If there is a large difference between the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speed differences at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power prompts and warning prompts in DII Pilot 2.
- When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to control the flight speed, but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be controlled to fly to the left or right. Constantly pushing the pitch stick to accelerate will increase the battery power consumption speed. The aircraft cannot bypass obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit RTH if the pitch stick is pushed all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.
- If the aircraft reaches the altitude limit of the aircraft current location or of the Home Point while it is ascending during Preset RTH, the aircraft stops ascending and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude. Pay attention to flight safety during RTH.
- If the Home Point is within the Altitude Zone but the aircraft is not in the Altitude Zone, when the aircraft reaches the Altitude Zone it will descend below the altitude limit, which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution.
- If the OcuSync video transmission is obstructed and disconnects, the aircraft can only rely on 4G enhanced transmission. Considering there may be large obstacles on the RTH route, to ensure safety during RTH, the RTH route will take
the previous flight path as reference. When using 4G enhanced transmission, pay more attention to the battery status and the RTH route in the map.
- The aircraft will exit RTH if the surrounding environment is too complex to complete RTH, even if the sensing system is working properly.
- RTH cannot be triggered during auto landing.
Advanced RTH
When Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Pilot 2 and will be adjusted according to the environment. During RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically according to environmental factors such as the wind speed, wind direction, and obstacles.
If the control signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is good, exit RTH by pressing the RTH button or the flight pause button on the remote controller. After exiting RTH, you will regain control of the aircraft.
Trigger Method
The user actively triggers RTH
During flight, you can trigger RTH by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller.
Aircraft low battery
During flight, if the battery level is low and only sufficient to fly to the Home Point, a warning prompt will appear in DJI Pilot 2. If you tap to confirm RTH or do not take action before the countdown ends, the aircraft will automatically initiate low battery RTH.
If you cancel the low battery RTH prompt and continue flying the aircraft, the aircraft will land automatically when the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude.
Auto landing cannot be cancelled but you can still fly the aircraft horizontally by moving the pitch stick and roll stick, and change the descent speed of the aircraft by moving the throttle stick. Fly the aircraft to a suitable place for landing as soon as possible.

- When the Intelligent Flight Battery level is too low and there is not enough power to return home, land the aircraft as soon as possible. Otherwise, the aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.
- DO NOT keep pushing the throttle stick upward during auto landing. Otherwise, the aircraft will crash after the battery power is completely depleted.
Loss of remote controller signal
When the remote controller signal is lost, the aircraft will automatically initiate Failsafe RTH if the Signal Lost Action is set to RTH.
When the lighting and environment conditions are suitable for the vision system, DJI Pilot 2 will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the signal was lost. The aircraft will start RTH using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored. DJI Pilot 2 will update the RTH path accordingly.
When the lighting and environment conditions are unsuitable for the vision system, the aircraft will brake and hover, then enter Original Route RTH.
- If the RTH distance (the horizontal distance between the aircraft and the Home Point) is farther than 50m , the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies backward for 50m on its original flight route before entering Preset RTH.
- If the RTH distance is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies straight horizontally back to the home point at the current altitude.
• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.
RTH Procedure
After Advanced RTH is triggered, the aircraft brakes and hovers in place.
- When the environment or lighting conditions are suitable for the vision system:
- The aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings and then return to the Home Point if GNSS was available when takeoff.
- If GNSS was unavailable and only the vision system was working when takeoff, the aircraft will adjust its orientation to the Home Point, plan the best path according to the RTH settings and then return to the position with strong GNSS signal based on the RTH settings. It will approximately follow the outbound trajectory back to the vicinity of the home point. At this time, pay attention to the app prompts and choose whether to let the aircraft automatically RTH and land or to manually control the RTH and landing.
Pay attention if GNSS was unavailable when takeoff:
Make sure that the obstacle avoidance is enabled.
DO NOT fly in narrow spaces and the environmental wind speed should be less than 3 m/s.
Fly to the open area and stay at least 10 meters away from any obstacles quickly after takeoff, otherwise, the aircraft may not be able to return to
home. During flight, avoid flying over water surfaces until reaching an area with strong GNSS signal. The altitude above the ground should be greater than 2 meters and less than 30 meters, otherwise, the aircraft may not be able to return to the home point. If the aircraft enters ATTI mode before reaching the area with strong GNSS signal, the home point will be invalidated.
If the vision positioning is not available during flight, the aircraft cannot return to the home point. Pay attention to the environment according to the App voice prompts to prevent collisions.
When the aircraft returns to the vicinity of the takeoff point and the App prompts when the current environment is complex, please confirm whether to continue flying:
- You need to confirm whether the flight path is correct and pay attention to flight safety.
- You need to confirm whether the lighting condition is sufficient for the vision system. If not, the aircraft may exit RTH. Forcing the aircraft to continue RTH or flight may cause it to enter ATTI mode.
After confirmation, the aircraft will continue to return to the home point at a low speed. If an obstacle appears on the return path, the aircraft will brake and may exit RTH.
This RTH process does not support obstacle detection in textureless scenes such as glass or white walls.
This RTH process requires the ground and nearby environments (such as walls) to have rich textures and no dynamic changes.
- When the environment or lighting conditions are not suitable for the vision system:
- If the RTH distance is further than 5 meters, the aircraft will return to home according to the Preset.
• The aircraft lands immediately if the RTH distance is less than 5 m.
Terrain Data
When the remote controller is connected to the internet, tap ⋯ > Assist in DJI Pilot 2, and enable Terrain Data, the remote controller will automatically download the elevation database to the aircraft. Based on the terrain data, the aircraft can plan an optimal flight path to bypass obstacles along the path during RTH.
When terrain data is enabled,
- if the environment or lighting conditions are suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will automatically plan an optimal flight path based on the terrain data and the data
collected by the vision system. The optimal flight path will maintain a safe distance from the terrain obstacles.
- If the environment or lighting conditions are not suitable for the vision system, only the terrain data is effective. Safety risks may arise if the model data is inaccurate.

- Based on the terrain data, the aircraft will bypass the area that has weak GNSS signal to ensure aircraft positioning accuracy. If there are suspended models in the terrain data, such as cranes, power lines, and bridges, the aircraft will try to bypass the obstacles by flying above the objects.

- When the aircraft is using GNSS for positioning, the positioning accuracy is relatively low, and the obstacle bypassing performance may be affected. Users should fly with caution, and pay close attention to the flight route and the camera view.
RTH Settings
RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Pilot 2, tap *** > ➕ Control, and scroll to Return to Home.
- Optimal:

- If the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will automatically plan the optimal RTH path and adjust the altitude according to environmental factors, such as obstacles and transmission signals, regardless of the RTH Altitude setting. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible to reduce the amount of battery power used and to increase flight time.
• If the lighting is insufficient or the environment is not suitable for the vision system, the aircraft will perform Preset RTH based on the RTH Altitude setting.
- Preset:
![graph TD A["Start"] --> B{Decision} B -->|Yes| C["Process Step"] B -->|No| D["End"]](/content/2026/08/1627030/images/faa2822fa48e59af41e7cea4fac431a73536d0f73041dab85e1e01f8eac09bed.jpg)
| RTH Distance/Altitude | Suitable Lighting and Environment Conditions | Unsuitable Lighting and Environment Conditions | |
| RTH distance >50 m | Current altitude < RTH altitude | The aircraft will plan the RTH path, fly to an open area while bypassing obstacles, ascend to the RTH Altitude, and return to home using the best path. | The aircraft will ascend to the RTH altitude, and fly to the Home Point in a straight line at the RTH altitude. [1] |
| Current altitude ≥ RTH altitude | The aircraft will return to home using the best path at the current altitude. | The aircraft will fly to the Home Point in a straight line at the current altitude. | |
| RTH distance is within 5-50 m | |||
[1] If the forward-facing LiDAR detects an obstacle ahead, the aircraft will ascend to avoid the obstacle. It will stop climbing once the path ahead is clear and then continue to RTH. If the obstacle height exceeds the altitude limit, the aircraft will brake and hover, and the user will need to take control.

- When Return to Home is set to Preset, a Direct Landing option will appear. When enabled, aircraft will directly land when arrives above the Home Point.
When the aircraft is approaching the Home Point, if the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft will intelligently decide whether to descend while flying forward according to the surrounding environment, lighting, the set RTH altitude, and the current altitude. When the aircraft reaches the area above the Home Point, the current altitude of the aircraft will not be lower than the set RTH altitude.
The RTH plans for different environments, RTH trigger methods, and RTH settings are as follows:
| RTH Trigger Method | Suitable Lighting and Environment Conditions(The aircraft can bypass obstacles and GEO zones) | Unsuitable Lighting and Environment Conditions |
| The user actively triggers RTH | The aircraft will execute RTH based on the RTH setting:• Optimal• Preset | Preset (The aircraft can ascend to bypass obstacles and GEO zones) |
| Aircraft low battery | ||
| Loss of remote controller signal | Original route RTH,Preset RTH will be executed when the signal is restored (The aircraft can bypass GEO zones and will brake and hover if there is obstacle) |
Landing Protection
During RTH, landing protection activates once the aircraft begins to land.
The specific performance of the aircraft is as follows:
- If the ground is determined suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly.
- If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover and wait for pilot confirmation.
- If landing protection is not operational, DJI Pilot 2 will display a landing prompt when the aircraft descends to 0.5 m from the ground. Tap Confirm or push the throttle stick all the way down and hold for one second, and the aircraft will land.

• After reaching the area above the Home Point, the aircraft will land precisely on the takeoff point. Performing a precision landing is subject to the following conditions:
- The Home Point must be recorded upon takeoff and must not be changed during flight.
- During takeoff, the aircraft must vertically ascend at least 7 m before moving horizontally.
• The Home Point terrain features must remain largely unchanged. - The terrain features of the Home Point must be sufficiently distinctive. Terrain such as a snow-covered field is not suitable.
• The lighting conditions must not be too bright or too dark.
- During landing, movement of any other control stick apart from the throttle stick will be regarded as giving up precision landing, and the aircraft will descend vertically.
4.10 Sensing System

- Omnidirectional Vision System
-
Auxiliary Light
-
Downward Vision System
- 3D Infrared Sensing System
The omnidirectional vision system works best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. The omnidirectional vision system will activate automatically when the aircraft is in Normal or Tripod mode and Obstacle Avoidance Action is set to Avoid or Brake in DJI Pilot 2. The positioning function is applicable when GNSS signals are unavailable or weak.
The auxiliary light located at the bottom of the aircraft can assist the downward vision system. It will automatically turn on by default in low-light environments when the flight altitude is under 5 m after takeoff. You can also turn it on or off manually in the DJI Pilot 2 app. Each time the aircraft is restarted, the auxiliary light will revert back to the default setting Auto.

- When Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled, the aircraft relies only on GNSS to hover, omnidirectional obstacle sensing is unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically decelerate during descent close to the ground. Extra caution is required when Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled.
- Disabling Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing takes effect only when flying manually, and will not take effect when using auto modes such as RTH, or auto landing.
Notice

- Pay attention to the flight environment. The sensing system only works in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During a flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings in DJI Pilot 2, and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times.
- If there is no GNSS available, the downward vision system will assist with aircraft positioning, and works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 m to 30 m. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 m as the vision positioning performance may be affected.
- In low-light environments, the vision system may not achieve optimal positioning performance even if the auxiliary light is turned on. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak in such environments.
- The downward vision system may not work properly when the aircraft is flying near water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid water below it when landing. It is recommended to maintain flight control at all times, make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment, and avoid over-relying on the downward vision system.
- The vision system cannot accurately identify large structures with frames and cables, such as tower cranes, high-voltage transmission towers, high-voltage transmission lines, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges.
-
The vision system cannot work properly near surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the lighting is too weak or too strong. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations:
-
Flying near monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green).
• Flying near highly reflective surfaces.
• Flying near water or transparent surfaces. - Flying near moving surfaces or objects.
• Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes.
• Flying near extremely dark (<0.5 lux) or bright (>40,000 lux) surfaces. - Flying near surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).

4.11 Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems
The Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) feature is available in Normal mode and Cine mode. When APAS is enabled, the aircraft will continue to respond to your commands and plan its path according to both control stick inputs and the flight environment. APAS makes it easier to avoid obstacles, obtain smoother footage, and give a better flying experience.
When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the remote controller. The aircraft brakes and hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot commands.
To enable APAS, open DJI Pilot 2, go to *** > Ⓐ, and select Avoid in Obstacle Avoidance.
Notice

- Make sure to use APAS when the vision system is available. Pay attention to DJI Pilot 2 and make sure APAS is working normally.
- Make sure there are no people, animals, objects with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches), or transparent objects (e.g., glass or water) along the desired flight path.
- Make sure to use APAS when the downward vision system is available or the GNSS signal is strong. APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-covered areas.
- Be extra cautious when flying in extremely dark (<300 lux) or bright (>10,000 lux) environments.
- APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying near flight limits or in a GEO zone.
- When the lighting becomes insufficient and the vision system is partially unavailable, the aircraft will switch from bypassing obstacles to braking and hovering. You need to center the control stick and then to continue controlling the aircraft.
Landing Protection
If Obstacle Avoidance Action is set to Avoid or Brake, Landing Protection will be activated when you push the throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land.
- If the ground is determined to be suitable for landing, the aircraft will land directly.
- If the ground is determined to be unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover when the aircraft descends to a certain height above ground. Push down on the throttle stick for at least five seconds, and the aircraft will land without obstacle sensing.
4.12 DJI AirSense
Airplanes with an ADS-B transceiver will actively broadcast flight information including locations, flight paths, speeds, and altitudes. DJI aircraft incorporated with the DJI AirSense technology are capable of receiving flight information broadcast from ADS-B transceivers that comply with 1090ES or UAT standards within a radius range of 10 kilometers. Based on the received flight information, DJI AirSense can analyze and obtain the location, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the surrounding manned airplanes, and compare such figures with the current position, altitude, orientation, and velocity of the
DJI aircraft to calculate in real time the potential risk of collision with the surrounding manned airplanes. DJI AirSense will then display a warning message in DJI Pilot 2 according to the risk level.
DJI AirSense only issues warning messages on approaches by specific manned airplanes under special circumstances. Please be aware that DJI AirSense has the following limitations:
- DJI AirSense can only receive messages sent by airplanes installed with an ADS-B Out device that is in compliance with 1090ES (RTCA DO-260) or UAT (RTCA DO-282) standards. DJI devices cannot receive broadcast messages from or display warnings on airplanes not equipped with properly functioning ADS-B Out devices.
- If there is an obstacle between a manned aircraft and a DJI aircraft, DJI AirSense will not be able to receive ADS-B messages from the aircraft or send warnings to the user. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution.
- Warning prompts may be sent with delay if DJI AirSense experiences any interference from the surrounding environment. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution.
- Warning prompts may not be received if the DJI aircraft is unable to obtain information on its own location.
- DJI AirSense cannot receive ADS-B messages from manned airplanes or send warnings to the user when it is disabled or misconfigured.
When a risk is detected by the DJI AirSense system, the AR projection display will appear on the current view in DJI Pilot 2, intuitively showing the distance between the DJI aircraft and the airplane, and issuing a warning alert. Users should follow the instructions in DJI Pilot 2 upon receiving the alert.
Notice: A blue airplane icon will appear on the map.
Caution: The app will display the message Manned aircraft detected nearby. Fly with caution. A small orange square icon with the distance information will appear on the camera view, and an orange airplane icon will appear on the map view.
Warning: The app will display the message Collision risk. Descend or ascend immediately. If the user is not operating, the app will display Collision risk. Fly with caution. A small red square icon with the distance information will appear on the camera view, and a red airplane icon will appear on the map view. The remote controller will vibrate to alert.

Area Route
Area route has Ortho Collection and Oblique Collection, the aircraft can automatically complete the data collection for the aerial photogrammetry of the planned area along the s-shaped route according to the route parameters.
Oblique collection generates five s-shaped routes in the mapping area, respectively controlling the gimbal to collect orthophoto and oblique photos in 5 different directions, which can be used to make real 3D models.
Smart Oblique and Terrain Follow can be enabled in the area route.
Smart Oblique
Smart Oblique is an innovative oblique photography solution. By automatically controlling the gimbal to capture images from multiple angles, it greatly improves operational efficiency.
- During Ortho Collection, with Smart Oblique enabled, the gimbal supports simultaneous lateral capturing, reducing the flight route density and increasing data collection efficiency.
- During Oblique Collection, with Smart Oblique enabled, the gimbal can capture images in five directions simultaneously. The aircraft only needs to fly one flight route to collect the orthophoto and oblique photos required for 3D reconstruction.
Terrain follow
When collecting data in areas with large elevation differences, such as mountainous areas, Terrain Follow allows the aircraft to adjust the flight altitude following the changes in the terrain. Terrain Follow ensures that the relative height of the aircraft and the ground below remains unchanged so that the Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) of the photos collected in each area is consistent, improving the accuracy of mapping data while ensuring flight safety.

- Select AGL for the Altitude Mode to enable Terrain Follow.
Real-Time Follow
Real-Time Follow does not require DSM files. The aircraft vision system detects the terrain fluctuations ahead in real time during the flight. It is recommended to use this function in areas where the terrain slope is less than 75° and the lighting condition and environment are suitable for the vision system.
When performing a mapping task while Real-Time Follow is enabled, the aircraft altitude above ground level (AGL) and the terrain trend ahead of the aircraft will be displayed in the camera view.

- Altitude above Ground Level (AGL)

- The vision system cannot work properly in low-light environments. Real-Time Follow cannot be used normally in rainy, snowy, and foggy environments.
- The vision system may not work properly over water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively detect the distance to the water for real-time follow. It is not recommended to use real-time follow in large areas of water and ocean waves.
- The vision system cannot work properly near surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the light is too bright or too dark. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations:
• Flying near monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green surfaces).
• Flying near highly reflective surfaces.
• Flying near water or transparent surfaces.
• Flying near moving surfaces or objects.
• Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes.
• Flying near extremely dark (<10 lux) or bright (>40,000 lux) surfaces.
- Flying near surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).
• Flying near surfaces without clear patterns or textures.
- Flying near surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the same design).
- Flying near obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches and power lines).
- Keep the sensors clean at all times. DO NOT tamper with the sensors. DO NOT use the aircraft in dusty or humid environments.
DSM Follow
By importing the DSM file, the app will generate a flight route with altitude changes. The DSM files of the mapping area can be obtained using the following two methods:
Import Local File
- Collect the 2D data of the mapping area and perform a 2D reconstruction using DJI Terra by selecting Fruit Tree mode. A .tif file will be generated and can be imported to the microSD card of the remote controller.
- Download the terrain mapping data from a geobrowser.
Download from Internet
DSM files can be directly obtained by downloading the open source data of the ASTER GDEM V3 geoid database.

- Make sure the DSM file is a geographic coordinate system file, not a projected coordinate system file. Otherwise, the imported file may not be recognized. It is recommended that the resolution of the imported file should be no more than 10 meters.
- Make sure that the mapping area is within the range of the DSM file.

- The open-source geoid database may have errors. DJI is not responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, or validity of the data. Pay attention to the flight environment and fly with caution.
Linear Route
Linear Route is used to collect orthophotos for strip-shaped areas such as rivers and pipelines. The mapping area can be generated by selecting the center line of the strip and extending outward along this line.
Set Waypoints
First, set Flight Band by selecting points on the map to generate the band-shaped mapping area, and confirm the center line and the scope of the mapping area. Switch to Flight Route to generate the corresponding s-shaped route, and adjust the route parameters to complete the setting.
Center line can be generated by tapping on the map or importing a linear KML file. Note: After the band-shaped area is generated, check along the path to see if there is a large deviation from the original mapping area. If there is a deviation, increase some points to cover the area completely or increase the length of the left and right extensions to cover the mapping area completely.
Terrain Follow can also be enabled in the Linear Route. Both Real-Time Follow and DSM Follow are available. Refer to Terrain follow section in Area Route for more information.
Live Mission Recording
Live Mission Recording is used to plan the route by adding waypoints as the center line of the flight area when the aircraft is close to the subject. Live Mission Recording for linear route supports an adjustable altitude during flight, which is suitable for scenarios such as channel inspection.

- To ensure flight safety, RTK needs to be connected when recording live mission and collecting aerial photogrammetry data.
Slope Route
Slope Route is used to collect photogrammetry data for a single elevation or slope, which is mainly used for modeling and inspection of building facades and slopes. By planning the spatial flight route and verifying the route safety with AR projection, users can collect modeling data.
Create Slope
- Adjust the aircraft and the camera to face the slope. Ensure the camera view is parallel to the slope.
- When the distance between the aircraft and the slope appears on the screen, press the C1 button on the remote controller to obtain the AR Slope and Route View.

- If the distance to the slope cannot be identified, move the aircraft left or right under safe circumstances to obtain additional spatial information.
• Make sure RTK is connected during the entire process of planning and performing Slope Route. Otherwise, the function cannot be used.
- Route Viewer is generated once slope is created and can be updated during the route planning process. Adjusting boundaries of the mapping area is available in Route Viewer.

Adjust and Confirm AR Slope
-
To adjust the distance and angle between AR slope and actual slope to be mapped, fly the aircraft to the side of the AR slope. It is recommended that the AR slope fits the actual slope for more accurate GSD calculation.
-
Adjust the boundary points of the slope and add additional boundary points to modify the shape of the slope.
- Click Slide/Rotate Mapping Area to open the parameter settings panel for the mapping area. Users can adjust the mapping area angle and move the mapping area forward and backward.
-
If the angle and position of the Route Viewer is inappropriate, click in the lower right corner of the Route Viewer to reset.
-
When the AR slope matches the actual slope sufficiently, click √ to confirm the mapping area and generate a route.

Adjust Flight Route Parameters
After the flight route is generated, tap on the Route Viewer to adjust the route parameters. Refer to the Collecting Aerial Photogrammetry Data section for more information about route parameters.
Tap Adjust Mapping Area to readjust the mapping area, if necessary.
Geometric Route
Geometric Route is used to collect photogrammetry data for multiple spatial surfaces, which is mainly used for modeling and inspection of building facades.
Set the Bottom Base Shape
-
Select the shape type of the geometry base on the left side of the map view.
-
Tap on the map to draw the base shape of the geometry.
-
Tap √ to confirm the bottom base of the mapping area.

- It is recommended to fly the aircraft to the target building and mark its boundary points. Then, enter the map view to draw the boundary points of
the mapping area's base. The points will automatically snap to the target points, making the drawing quicker and more accurate.

- Make sure there is enough space when aircraft is performing tasks. Avoid performing tasks in narrow spaces between buildings or in areas with many trees.
- The mapping surface should be non-reflective and have rich texture. Avoid mapping glass walls.
• Make sure RTK is connected during the entire process of planning and performing Geometric Route. Otherwise, the function cannot be used.

-
In the camera view, fly the aircraft to the required bottom and top base of the AR measured object. Press C1 button on the remote controller to record the altitude of the bottom base and C2 to record the altitude of the top base.
-
Tap √ to confirm the mapping aea.

Adjust Flight Route Parameters
After the flight route is generated, tap on the Route Viewer to adjust the route parameters. Refer to the Collecting Aerial Photogrammetry Data section for more information about route parameters.
Tap Adjust Mapping Area to readjust the mapping area, if necessary.
Smart 3D Capture
Smart 3D Capture uses a rough model of the subject to generate three-dimensional flight routes for precise photography. This allows for close-range data collection near the surface of the subject. It is mainly used for modeling and inspecting complex building facades, detailed ancient architecture, and geological disaster scenarios.

- During an orthophoto operation, it is recommended to adjust the flight route speed to the maximum value and enable elevation optimization.
Route Parameters
| Specifications Description | |
| Ortho GSD Ortho GSD is the ground sampling distance of the ortho-photos taken on the first route, i.e., the distance between two consecutive pixel centers measured on the ground. The larger the Ortho GSD value, the lower the resolution of the orthophotos. The flight route altitude will be changed accordingly when changing the Ortho GSD value. | |
| Altitude Mode The starting plane of the flight route altitude. | • Relative to Takeoff Point (ALT): the altitude of the aircraft relative to the takeoff point. It is recommended to use this option for aerial mapping operations. Then, Target Surface to Takeoff Point will appear. Target Surface to Takeoff Point = the altitude of the target surface - the altitude of the take-off point.• ASL (EGM96): the altitude of the aircraft relative to the EGM96 geoid. Flight Route to Target Surface will appear. Flight Route to Target Surface = the altitude of the flight route - the altitude of the target surface.• AGL: Altitude above Ground Level, which is the altitude of the aircraft relative to the ground below. Terrain Follow Altitude will appear. |
| Flight Route Altitude | The altitude of the flight route in a flight task. Different altitude modes have different starting planes for the flight route altitude. The Ortho GSD value will be changed accordingly when changing the flight route altitude. |
| Safe Takeoff Altitude | After taking off, the aircraft will fly up to the safe takeoff altitude (relative to the takeoff point), then fly to the start point of the flight route. Safe Takeoff Altitude is effective only when the aircraft executes a flight task before takeoff. If the aircraft starts to execute a flight task after takeoff, the safe takeoff altitude will not take effect. |
Specifications Description
Speed The operating speed of the aircraft after entering the
flight route. This speed is related to the frontal overlap ratio.
Course Angle The route angle can be adjusted, and the starting and
ending positions of the route will be adjusted accordingly. Note: the estimated time of the task varies for different course angles. By adjusting the course angle, the task with the shortest estimated time can be planned to improve the operation efficiency.
Elevation Optimization When enabled, the aircraft will fly to the center of the
mapping area to collect a set of oblique images to optimize the elevation accuracy. It is recommended to enable this option for orthophoto operation, which requires high elevation accuracy.

This feature is not supported for Oblique Collection.
Upon Completion The action performed by the aircraft after completing the
operation. The default selection is Return to Home.
Side Overlap Ratio/Frontal
Overlap Ratio
Side overlap ratio is the overlap ratio of two pictures taken on two parallel paths. Frontal overlap ratio is the overlap ratio of two pictures captured consecutively in the same heading along the flight path. The overlap ratio is one of the key factors affecting the success of later model reconstruction. The default side overlap ratio is 70%, and the default frontal overlap ratio is 80%, which is suitable for most scenarios. If the mapping area is flat and has no undulations, the overlap ratio can be appropriately reduced to improve operational efficiency. If the mapping area has large fluctuations, it is recommended to increase the overlap ratio to ensure the reconstruction effect.

When using Oblique Collection, two more settings will be available: Side Overlap Ratio (Oblique) and Frontal Overlap Ratio (Oblique). The overlap ratio of oblique photos can be lower than that of orthophotos.
| Specifications Description | |
| Margin The distance of the flight area beyond the mapping area. | |
| The purpose of setting the margin is to ensure the edge accuracy of the mapping area by capturing images outside the mapping area. | |
| Smart Oblique does not support setting margin, it will automatically expand the margin according to the range of the mapping area and the gimbal pitch. | |
| Photo Mode The camera's photo mode. The default selection is Timed Interval Shot. | |
| Custom Camera Angle Once enabled, users can customize the aircraft yaw angle and the gimbal pitch angle. Only the Ortho Collection in the Area Route supports customizing the camera angle. | |
| Route Start Point The starting point of the route can be customized in the optional points of the map view. | |
| Takeoff Speed | After the aircraft takes off and reaches the flight route altitude, the flight speed before entering the flight route. This speed is not the vertical take-off speed of the aircraft. It is recommended to set it to the maximum to improve operational efficiency. |
Other flight routes or functions also support the following specifications:
Specifications Description
Gimbal Pitch (Oblique) Adjusts the camera pitch angle when capturing oblique photos. The default angle is -45° . When the altitude difference of the buildings in the mapping area increases, it is recommended to increase the angle to capture more images of the upper floors of the buildings. When the buildings in the mapping area are dense, it is recommended to appropriately reduce the angle to capture more images between buildings.

When capturing images with Smart Oblique, the option is Gimbal Angle, and the default angle is 45° .
| Specifications Description | |
| Oblique GSD Oblique GSD is the ground sampling distance of the oblique photos captured by the remaining four routes, i.e., the distance between two consecutive pixel centers measured on the ground. The larger the Oblique GSD value, the lower the resolution of the oblique photos. The Oblique GSD value will be changed accordingly when changing the flight route altitude. | |
| Single Route If the Single Route is enabled, a route in the center of the mapping area will be generated. This function is suitable for scenes where only the center of the mapping area needs to be photographed, such as an oil pipeline inspection. | |
| Extension Length Plan the range of the flight band by adjusting the distance that the route expands from the center to the left and right sides. After enabling Equal Left/Right Extensions, the range of the flight band remains symmetrical compared to the center of the route. | |
| Flight Band Cutting Distance Adjusting the cutting distance of the flight band can divide the band area into several small areas for operation. The communication range of the aircraft should be mainly considered for the division range, ensuring that the aircraft will not lose control in a small area. | |
| Include Center Line If enabled, flight routes are generated outwards along the center line. This route will ensure that the center line of the band-shaped mapping area is included. | |
| Boundary Optimization | Add new flight routes outside the current planning flight area to take more photos of the edge of the mapping area. Turn on for objects that mainly capture edge areas, such as river channels. |
| Flight Route Direction The slope route can be executed vertically or horizontally. It is recommended to select the orientation based on the surrounding environment of the target. | |
| Rotation Angle Rotation angle of flight routes relative to geometric structure. Adjust Route Coverage Rate and Rotation Angle to realize mapping for specific face. | |
| Route Coverage Rate Coverage rate of flight routes on lateral faces of geometric structure. Adjust Route Coverage Rate and Rotation Angle to realize mapping for specific face. | |

8.3 Flight Data
Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. You can connect the aircraft to a computer via the USB port and export this data via DJI Assistant 2 or DJI Pilot 2 app.
8.4 Using Enhanced Transmission
Enhanced Transmission integrates OcuSync video transmission technology with 4G networks. If the OcuSync video transmission is obstructed, experiencing interference, or used over long distances, 4G connectivity allows you to maintain aircraft control.
The installation requirements are as shown below:
- The aircraft needs to be installed with a DJI Cellular Dongle 2. Both the dongle and nano-SIM card need to be purchased separately.
- The remote controller can be equipped with a DJI Cellular Dongle 2 or can be connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot to use Enhanced Transmission.
Enhanced Transmission will consume data. If the transmission completely switches to a 4G network, a 30-minute flight consumes about 1 GB of data on the aircraft and the remote controller, respectively. This value is for reference only. Refer to the actual data usage.

- Enhanced Transmission is only supported in some countries and regions.
- The DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and its related service are only available in some countries and regions. Comply with local laws and regulations and DJI Cellular Dongle 2 Terms of Service.
Inserting the nano-SIM Card
Open the SIM card slot cover on the dongle, insert the nano-SIM card into the slot in the same direction as shown in the figure, and close the cover.


- It is strongly recommended to purchase a nano-SIM card which supports a 4G network from official channels of the local mobile network operator.
- DO NOT use an IoT SIM card, otherwise the video transmission quality will be seriously compromised.
-
DO NOT use a SIM card provided by the virtual mobile network operator, otherwise it may lead to an inability to connect to the Internet.
-
DO NOT cut the SIM card by yourself, otherwise the SIM card may be damaged, or the rough edges and corners may cause the SIM card to be unable to be inserted or removed properly.
- If the SIM card is set with a password (PIN code), make sure to insert the SIM card into the smartphone and cancel the PIN code setting, otherwise it will fail to connect to the Internet.

- Open the cover and push the nano-SIM card to partially eject it.
Installing the DJI Cellular Dongle 2
- Install the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 on to the aircraft.

- Install the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 to the remote controller.





- Check the icon in the upper right corner of the system desktop. If the 4G logo appears, it means that the enhanced transmission is available.

• Gently remove the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 from the aircraft as shown if needed. DO NOT pull the antennas by force. Otherwise, the antennas may be damaged.

Using Enhanced Transmission
After the aircraft and the remote controller are connected by a 4G network, Enhanced Transmission can be enabled in the app.
- Go to the camera view, then tap the video transmission signal icon to enable or disable Enhanced Transmission in the pop-up box.
- Go to the camera view, tap ... > HD , and enable or disable Enhanced Transmission.

- Pay close attention to the video transmission signal strength after enabling Enhanced Transmission. Fly with caution. Tap the video transmission signal icon to view the current OcuSync video transmission and 4G video transmission signal strength in the pop-up box.
Security Strategy
Based on safe flight considerations, Enhanced Transmission can only be enabled when the OcuSync video transmission is in effect. If the OcuSync link is disconnected during flight, it is not possible to disable Enhanced Transmission.
In a 4G-only transmission scenario, restarting the remote controller or DJI Pilot 2 will result in failsafe RTH. The 4G video transmission cannot be restored before the OcuSync link is reconnected.
In the 4G-only transmission scenario, a takeoff countdown will start after the aircraft lands. If the aircraft does not take off before the countdown ends, it will not be allowed to take off until the OcuSync link is restored.
Remote Controller Usage Notes
If using the 4G network via the DJI Cellular Dongle 2, make sure to install the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 correctly, and turn off the Wi-Fi of the remote controller while using Enhanced Transmission to reduce interference.
If using the 4G network by connecting the remote controller to a mobile device Wi-Fi hotspot, make sure to set the mobile device hotspot frequency band to 2.4 GHz and the network mode to 4G for a better video transmission experience. It is not recommended to answer incoming phone calls with the same smartphone or connecting multiple devices to the same hotspot.
4G Network Requirements
The 4G network transmission speed is determined by the 4G signal strength of the aircraft and the remote controller at the current position and the network congestion level of the corresponding base station. The actual transmission experience is closely related to the local 4G network signal conditions. The 4G network signal conditions include both sides of the aircraft and the remote controller with various speeds. If the network signal of either the aircraft or remote controller is weak, has no signal, or is busy, the experience of 4G transmission may drop and lead to the video transmission freezing, a delayed response of the controls, loss of video transmission, or loss of controls.
Therefore, when using Enhanced Transmission:
- Make sure to use the remote controller and aircraft in locations where the 4G signal is close to full for a better transmission experience.
- If the OcuSync signal is disconnected, the video transmission may lag and stutter when the aircraft relies fully on a 4G signal. Fly with caution.
- When the OcuSync signal is poor or disconnected, make sure to maintain an appropriate altitude during the flight. In open areas, try to keep the flight altitude below 120 meters for a better 4G signal.
- For flight in the city with tall buildings, make sure to set a suitable RTH altitude (higher than the tallest building).
- When the app prompts that the 4G signal is weak, fly with caution.
8.5 Post-Flight Checklist
- Make sure to perform a visual inspection so that the aircraft, remote controller, gimbal camera, Intelligent Flight Battery, and propellers are in good condition. Contact DJI support if any damage is noticed.
- Make sure that the camera lens and vision system sensors are clean.

Remote Controller Warnings
The remote controller indicator will glow red after disconnecting from the aircraft. DJI Pilot 2 will issue a warning prompt after disconnecting from the aircraft. The remote controller will beep and power off automatically after disconnecting from aircraft and with no operation for a long time.

- Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to turn off the Wi-Fi on nearby mobile devices. Land the aircraft as soon as possible if there is interference.
- Users are responsible for correctly adjusting the display brightness when using the monitor in direct sunlight during flight operation.
- Release the control sticks or press the flight pause button if an unexpected operation occurs.
Direct Remote ID
- Transport Method: Wi-Fi Beacon.
- Method of uploading the UAS Operator Registration Number to the aircraft: Enter DJI Pilot 2 > GEO Zone Map > UAS Remote Identification, and then upload UAS Operator Registration Number.
- According to applicable rules, operators shall provide the correct registration number to broadcast in flight. Please make sure you understand and comply with the rules.
GEO Awareness
GEO Awareness contains the features listed below.
UGZ (Unmanned Geographical Zone) Data update: You can update the FlySafe data by using the data update feature automatically or storing the data in the aircraft manually.
- Method 1: Run DJI Pilot 2, tap GEO Zone Map > FlySafe Database, select Auto Update from Data Source to update the FlySafe data automatically.
- Method 2: Check the website of your national aviation authority regularly and obtain the latest UGZ data to import to your aircraft. Run DJI Pilot 2, tap GEO Zone Map > FlySafe Database, select Import Local File from Data Source, and then follow the on-screen instructions to store and import the UGZ data manually.

- A prompt will appear in the app when the import completes successfully. If the import fails due to improper data format, follow the on-screen prompt and retry.

- Before takeoff, users must download the latest GEO Zone data from the official aviation regulation website of the country or region where the aircraft is being used. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the GEO zone data is the latest version and that it is applied to every flight.
GEO Awareness Map Drawing: After the latest UGZ data is updated, a flight map with a restricted zone will be displayed in the DJI Pilot 2 app. Name, effective time, height limit, etc., can be viewed by tapping the area.
When GNSS signal is weak, Geo-awareness function will be degraded and the remote controller will provide a prompt. Fly with caution.
AGL (Above Ground Level) Statement
The vertical part of Geo-Awareness may use the AMSL altitude or the AGL height. The choice between these two references is specified individually for each UGZ. Neither AMSL altitude nor the AGL height is supported by DJI Matrice 4 Series. The height H appears in the DJI Pilot 2 app camera view, which is the height from the aircraft takeoff point to the aircraft. The height above the takeoff point may be used as an approximation but may differ more or less from the given altitude/height for a specific UGZ. The remote pilot remains responsible for not breaching the vertical limits of the UGZ.

8.11 FAR Remote ID Compliance Information
The unmanned aircraft system is equipped with a Remote ID system that meets the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89.
- The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-flight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system before takeoff and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST[1]. The results of the PFST of the Remote ID system can be viewed in a DJI flight control app such as DJI Pilot 2.
- The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-flight to shut down. If the Remote ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in a DJI flight control app such as DJI Pilot 2.
- The user shall keep the DJI flight control app running in the foreground and always allow it to obtain the location information of the remote controller.
- Developers who develop third-party applications based on the DJI Mobile SDK shall obtain and display the PFST results and the failure status of the Remote ID system during operation by calling specific APIs [2].
- Developers who develop third-party platforms based on the DJI Cloud API shall obtain and display the PFST results and the failure status of the Remote ID system during operation by calling specific APIs [3].
- Developers developing payload devices based on DJI PSDK shall read and comply with the requirements in the PSDK's "Flight Safety Notification", and shall not disrupt or degrade the functionality of the Remote ID system. For "Non-RC Flight" developers, they shall send the true and accurate geographic location information of the pilot or operator obtained by appropriate technology to the Remote ID system by calling specific APIs [4] provided by the PSDK, and shall obtain and display the PFST results and the failure status of the Remote ID system during operation by calling specific APIs.
- You can visit the official website of FAA to learn more about aircraft registration and Remote ID requirements.
Footnotes
[1] The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-data source and transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
