Aircraft This section describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery.
Aircraft Flight Controller The Matrice 200 flight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.
Flight Mode The following flight modes are available for Matrice 200: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between obstacles. Intelligent Flight Modes such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode. When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing is disabled, the maximum flight attitude angle is 30°. When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control altitude. Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve higher speeds. S-mode (Sport): The aircraft uses GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode. Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick movements. A-mode (Attitude): When neither the GPS nor the Vision Systems are available, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in A-mode. The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its flight path. Be vigilant and stay clear of nearby obstacles. The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are significantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions. The aircraft’s responsiveness is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft. Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight. The aircraft’s descent speed is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions. Use the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller to select aircraft flight modes.

MATRICE 200 User Manual Atti Mode Warning The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances: Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the Vision System is unavailable. Active: Users toggle the flight mode switch to A-mode. In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position or auto-brake in this mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft. Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difficult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make sure you are comfortable flying in this mode. DO NOT fly the aircraft too far away as you might lose control and cause a potential hazard. Avoid flying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in confined spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential flight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as possible.
Flight Status Indicator The aircraft features Front LEDs, a Rear LED, and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicator
Front LED Rear LED The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. Front and rear LEDs can be turned off in the DJI GO 4 app. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status of the flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicators.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the aircraft, including [1] [3] stereo vision sensors and [2] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the Matrice 200 to avoid them by going over, going around, or hovering. The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top of the aircraft. These scan for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain flight modes. [4]

The aircraft status indicators will flash green twice, which indicates the Vision System is working. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.
Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing
Powered by the Forward Vision System, the aircraft is able to actively brake when obstacles are detected in front. Obstacle Sensing works best when lighting is adequate and the obstacle is clearly textured. The aircraft must fly at no more than 31 mph (50 kph) to allow for sufficient braking distance.
Using Infrared Sensing System
The Infrared Sensing System can only be used to avoid large, diffuse, and reflective obstacles (reflectivity >10%). Please be mindful of blind spots (Grey) of the Infrared Sensing System.
© 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.
MATRICE 200 User Manual The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System is affected by the surface being flown over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials and the cameras may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations. The Vision System will be disabled when: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces. c) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e) Flying in an areas where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. f) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. g) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. h) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling). i) Flying at high speeds of over 31 mph (50 kph) at 2 meters or over 11 mph (18 kph) at 1 meter. The Ultrasonic sensors will be disabled when: a) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). b) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. The Infrared be disabled when: a) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reflective surface. b) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged. Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness. Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters. The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. The Vision System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision System is in operation. Keep away from animals while operating the aircraft, as the ultrasonic sensors emit highfrequency sounds which may disturb them.
Return-to-Home (RTH) The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three RTH types in detail.
Description If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon . Less than 4 bars is considered a weak GPS signal. The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.
© 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.
MATRICE 200 User Manual The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient. The aircraft will automatically ascend to avoid obstacles and descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home while facing forward, it cannot rotate or fly left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is enabled.
Smart RTH Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.
Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)
The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a tensecond countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. If the RTH procedure is cancelled following a low battery level warning the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO 4 app, and is described below:

N/A N/A N/A When the Critical Low battery level warning is triggered and the aircraft begins to land automatically, push the left stick upward to make the aircraft hover at its current altitude, giving you an opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location. The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location and status.
Failsafe RTH If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original flight route home. The user may cancel Failsafe RTH to regain control when connection is reestablished.
RTH Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4.
Home Point is recorded automatically. RTH procedure is triggered i.e., Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. Home Point is confirmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation. a. The aircraft will ascend to the pre-set RTH attitude and then fly to the Home Point when the aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point. b. The aircraft will land automatically if RTH is triggered and the aircraft is less than 20 m from the home point. 5. The aircraft will hover 0.7 m above ground and wait for confirmation from the user. The aircraft will land and stop its motors after user confirmation. © 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.

User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude. However, users can press the RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control. The aircraft will automatically descend and land if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. The aircraft will stop ascending and will return to the Home Point if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters) in altitude or beyond during Failsafe. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward Vision System is disabled. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each flight. Launch DJI GO 4, enter camera and tap to set Failsafe Altitude.
Failsafe Safety Notices The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH when the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set a suitable Failsafe altitude before each flight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, enter Camera and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.
H If the aircraft is flying under 65 feet (20 meters) and Failsafe (including 20Battery m Lower RTH) is triggered, the aircraft will first H to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude. You automatically ascend can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe.
Smart RTH, RTH Altitude
The aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies within a 65 foot (20 meter) radius of the Home Point. The aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the left stick when the aircraft is flying at an altitude of 65 feet (20 meters) or higher and Failsafe is triggered. The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ([ ] displaying less than four bars) or is unavailable.

MATRICE 200 User Manual
If you move the left stick when the aircraft is flying above 65 feet (20 meters) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.
Obstacle Avoidance During RTH*
The aircraft can sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will act as follows: 1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far away as 984 feet (300 meters) in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. 2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead. 3. The aircraft stops and hovers then starts ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the aircraft will stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle. 4. RTH procedure resumes. The aircraft will continue flying to the Home Point at the current altitude.
5 meters 300 meters 15 meters
*Coming soon. Obstacle Sensing is disabled during RTH descent. Proceed with care. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate during RTH while the Forward Vision System is enabled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles beside or behind it.
Landing Protection Function
Landing Protection will activate during auto-landing. 1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the Matrice 200 will land smoothly. 2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Matrice 200 will hover and wait for pilot confirmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft flight orientation. 3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Matrice 200 descends below 0.7 meters. Tap to confirm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when the environment is appropriate for landing.

DJI AirSense Manned aircraft with an ADS-B transceiver will actively broadcast flight information including location, flight path, speed, and altitude. DJI AirSense receives this by ADS-B transceivers via an on-board receiver or internet connection. UAVs installed DJI AirSense can obtain the position, orientation and velocity information from the manned airplane built-in ADS-B transmitter (1090 ES and UAT standard supported), calculate the collision risk level real time and send the warning to user. The system will analyze the potential risk of collision by comparing the location of a manned aircraft, sending timely warnings to pilots via the DJI GO or DJI GO 4 app. DJI AirSense provides users with information about nearby manned aircraft to ensure flight safety. The system doesn’t actively control the drone to avoid incoming aircraft. Always fly your aircraft within a visual line of sight and be cautious at all times. Lower your altitude when you receive warnings. Please be aware that DJI AirSense has the following limitations: 1. It can only receive messages sent by manned aircraft installed with an ADS-B out device and in accordance with 1090ES (RTCA DO-260) or UAT (RTCA Do-282) standards. DJI devices will not receive related broadcast messages or send out warnings for manned aircraft without ADS-B outs or with malfunctioning ADS-B outs. 2. If there is an obstacle or steel structure between civil and DJI aircraft, the system won’t be able to receive ADS-B messages sent by manned aircraft or send out warnings. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution. 3. Warnings may be sent with delay when the DJI AirSense is interfered by the surrounding. Keenly observe your surroundings and fly with caution. 4. Warnings are not sent when a DJI aircraft is unable to determine its location. 5. It cannot receive ADS-B messages sent by manned aircraft or send out warnings when disabled or misconfigured. On the precondition that connection between a DJI aircraft and the pilot remote controller is stable, when the system confirms the possibility of a collision, it will send a series of warnings based on the distance between drone and manned aircraft. We recommended that the operator descend altitude immediately after the first warning to avoid a collision, choosing another flight path where necessary. © 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.

Flight This section describes safe flight practices and flight restrictions.
Flight Ensure that all flights are carried out in an open area. It is important to understand basic flight guidelines for the safety of both you and those around you. Refer to the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines for more information.
Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s, snow, rain, and fog. 2. When flying in open areas, tall and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS system. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with elevated levels of electromagnetism, including base stations and radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying at high altitudes, as battery and aircraft performance may be affected. 6. The compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will have to auto switch to A-mode, using the Vision System for positioning.
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System Introduction
DJI’s Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) System is a global information system committed to providing real-time airspace information within the scope of international laws and regulations. GEO provides flight information, flight times and location information to assist Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) users in making the best decisions related to their personal UAV use. It also includes a unique Regional Flight Restrictions feature which provides real-time flight safety and restriction updates and blocks UAVs from flying in restricted airspace. While safety and obeying air traffic control laws is a paramount concern, DJI recognizes the need for exceptions to be made under special circumstances. To meet this need, GEO also includes an Unlocking feature that enables users to unlock flights within restricted areas. Prior to making their flight, users must submit an unlock request based on the current level of restrictions in their area.
DJI’s GEO System designates safe flight locations, provides risk levels and safety concerns for individual flights, and offers restricted airspace information, which can be viewed by users in real time on the DJI GO 4 app. The locations designated by GEO are called GEO Zones. GEO Zones are specific flight areas that are categorized by flight regulations and restrictions. GEO Zones that prohibit flight are implemented around locations such as airports, power plants, and prisons. They can also be temporarily implemented around major stadium events, forest fires, or other emergency situations. Certain GEO Zones do not prohibit flight but do trigger warnings informing users of potential risks. All restricted flight areas are referred to as GEO Zones, and are further divided into Warning Zones, Enhanced Warning Zones, Authorization Zones, Altitude Zones, and Restricted Zones. By default, GEO limits flights into or taking off within zones that may result in safety or security concerns. There is a GEO Zone Map, which contains comprehensive global GEO Zone information on the official DJI website: https://www.dji.com/flysafe. © 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.
MATRICE 200 User Manual The GEO System is for advisory purposes only. Individual users are responsible for checking official sources and determining which laws or regulations may apply to their flight. In some instances, DJI has selected widely-recommended general parameters (such as a 1.5-mile radius at airports) without making any determination as to whether these guidelines match regulations that apply to specific users.
GEO Zone Definitions
Warning Zones: Users receive a warning message with information relevant to their flight. Enhanced Warning Zones: Users receive a prompt from the GEO System at the time of flight. They are required to submit an unlock request to fly in the zone, for which they must confirm their flight path. Authorization Zones: Users receive a warning message and the flight is prohibited by default. Authorization Zones can be unlocked by authorized users with a DJI-verified account. SelfUnlocking privileges must be applied for online. Altitude Zones: Flights are limited to a specific altitude. Restricted Zones: Flights are completely prohibited. UAVs cannot fly in these zones. If you have obtained permission to fly in a Restricted Zone, please go to https://www.dji.com/flysafe or contact flysafe@dji.com to unlock the zone. DJI GEO Zones aim to ensure the user’s flight safety, but it cannot be guaranteed to be in full compliance with local laws and regulations. Users should check local laws, regulations, and regulatory requirements before each flight and are responsible for the flight safety. All intelligent flight features will be affected when DJI aircraft fly nearby or into GEO Zones. Such interference includes, but is not limited to, decreased speed, takeoff failure, and flight termination.
Flight Restrictions Introduction
UAV operators should abide by all flight regulations established by the relevant government and regulatory agencies, including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are restricted by default, which helps users operate DJI products safely and legally. Flight restrictions include altitude and distance limits, and GEO Zones. When Global Navigation Satellite Service (GNSS) is available, altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO Zones are all taken into account to ensure flight safety. Otherwise, only altitude limits take effect.
Maximum Altitude & Radius Restrictions
Maximum flight altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while maximum radius restricts its distance. These limits can be set using the DJI GO 4 app.
