Flight Safety
Make sure to have training and practice before operating any actual flight. Practice with the simulator in DJI Assistant 2 or fly under the guidance of experienced professionals. Pick a suitable area to fly in according to the following flight requirements and restrictions. Fly the aircraft below 120 m (400 ft). Any flight altitude higher than that may violate local laws and regulations. Make sure you understand and comply with the local laws and regulations before flying. Read the Safety Guidelines carefully to understand all safety precautions before flying.
Flight Environment Requirements
1. DO NOT operate the aircraft in severe weather conditions, including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s, snow, rain, and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, trees, and bodies of water (recommended height is at least 3 m above water).
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.
5. DO NOT take off from an altitude more than 6,000 m (19,685 ft) above sea level. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when flying at high altitudes. Fly with caution.
6. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision system instead. 7. DO NOT take off from moving objects, such as cars and ships. 8. Make sure the auxiliary light is enabled at night for flight safety. 9. To avoid affecting the motor service life, DO NOT take off or land the aircraft on sandy
or dusty areas. 10. Make sure to collect multispectral data when the solar elevation angle is greater than
30°. It is recommended to collect multispectral data at midday in sunny conditions.
Wireless Communication Requirements
1. Fly in wide open areas. Tall buildings, steel structures, mountains, rocks, or tall trees may affect the accuracy of the GNSS and block the video transmission signal.
2. Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sure to power off nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices when controlling the aircraft by remote control.

Using the Vision System
The positioning function of the Downward Vision System is applicable when GNSS signals are unavailable or weak. It is automatically enabled in Normal mode.
The Horizontal Omnidirectional and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Avoid or Brake in DJI Pilot 2. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the Horizontal Omnidirectional, and Upward Vision Systems. The Horizontal Omnidirectional and Upward Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to inertia, users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.
· Pay attention to the flight environment. The Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System only work in certain scenarios and cannot replace human control and judgment. During a flight, always pay attention to the surrounding environment and the warnings on DJI Pilot 2, and be responsible for and maintain control of the aircraft at all times.
· The Downward Vision System works best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 30 m if there is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 m as the vision positioning performance may be affected.
· The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Pilot 2. If set to Auto, it is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak. Note: the Vision System camera performance may be affected. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak.
· The Downward Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid the water below 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 work properly over surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the light is too weak or too strong. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations:
a. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green).
b. Flying over highly reflective surfaces.
c. Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

Return to Home
Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft is lost during flight.

Home Point

GNSS 10

Description
The first location where the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal (indicated by a white icon) will be recorded as the default Home Point. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives another strong to moderately strong GNSS signal. If the signal is weak, the Home Point will not be updated. DJI Pilot 2 will give a voice prompt when the Home Point is set.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
Smart RTH
Press and hold the RTH button on the remote controller to initiate Smart RTH. Press the RTH button or flight pause button to exit Smart RTH and regain full control of the aircraft.
Advanced RTH
Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for vision systems when Smart RTH is triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Pilot 2 and will adjust according to the environment.
RTH Settings RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Pilot 2, tap >
, and then RTH. 1. Preset: if the aircraft is further than 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the
aircraft will plan the RTH path, fly to an open area while avoiding obstacles, ascend to the RTH Altitude, and return to home using the best path. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not ascend to the RTH Altitude and instead return to home using the best path at the current altitude. When the aircraft is near the home point, the aircraft will descend while flying forward if the current altitude is higher than the RTH Altitude. 2. Optimal: regardless of the RTH Altitude settings, the aircraft automatically plans the optimal RTH path and adjusts the altitude according to environmental factors such as obstacles and transmission signals. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible, reducing the amount of battery power used and increasing flight time.
Advanced RTH Procedure 1. The Home Point is recorded automatically. 2. Advanced RTH is triggered. 3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.
a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the best path according to the RTH settings and fly to the Home Point while avoiding obstacles and GEO zones. The aircraft front will always point in the same direction as the flight direction.
4. The aircraft will fly automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and transmission signal during RTH.
5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
Straight Line RTH
The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sufficient and the environment is not suitable for the Advanced RTH. Straight Line RTH Procedure: 1. The Home Point is recorded. 2. Straight Line RTH is triggered. 3. The aircraft brakes and hovers in place.
a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft first ascends to a height of 20 m (this step will be skipped if the current height is higher than 20 m), then the aircraft adjusts its orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and flies to the Home Point. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft will fly to the Home Point at the current altitude.
b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft adjusts its orientation and flies to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the current altitude is lower than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and flies back to the Home Point.
c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.
4. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
· During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the flight speed automatically to environmental factors such as wind speed and obstacles.
· The aircraft cannot avoid small or fine objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly the aircraft to an open area before using Smart RTH.
· Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot avoid 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 RTH settings are changed during RTH.
· If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max altitude and return to home.
· The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.
18 © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
· If there is a large difference in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at different altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Pilot 2.
· Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment are not suitable for vision systems during takeoff or RTH.
· During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and environment are not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles. An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.
· 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 flown left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.
· When the remote controller signal is normal during Straight Line RTH, the flight speed and altitude can be controlled using the remote controller, but the orientation of the aircraft cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be flown left or right. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed. When the aircraft is ascending or flying forward, push the control stick completely in the opposite direction to exit RTH. Release the control stick to regain control of the aircraft.
· If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft stops and returns to the Home Point at the current altitude.
· The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting obstacles in front.
Low Battery RTH
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.
To avoid unnecessary danger caused by insufficient power, the aircraft will automatically calculate if it has enough power to fly to the Home Point from its current location. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Pilot 2 when the battery level is low and the aircraft can only support Low Battery RTH.
The aircraft will automatically fly to the Home Point if no action is taken after a 10-second countdown. Cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button or flight pause button on the remote controller.
A low battery level warning will be prompted only once during a flight. If RTH is canceled following the warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power 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. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the horizontal movement and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. If there is sufficient power, the throttle stick can be used to make the aircraft ascend at a speed of 1 m/s.

Failsafe RTH
The action of the aircraft when the remote controller signal is lost can be set to RTH, land, or hover in DJI Pilot 2. If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Pilot 2 will display the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost and return to home 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 is not sufficient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original Route RTH. Original Route RTH Procedure:
1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place. 2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjusts its
orientation and flies backward for 50 m on its original flight route before entering Straight Line RTH. b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line RTH. c.

Flight Restrictions
GEO (Geospatial Environment Online) System
DJI’s 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 flight. Prior to that, the user must submit an unlocking request based on the current restriction level in the intended flight area. The GEO system may not fully comply with local laws and regulations. Users shall be responsible for their own flight safety and must consult with the local authorities on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements before requesting to unlock a flight in a restricted area.

GEO Zones
DJI’s 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. Users 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://www.dji.com/flysafe/ geo-map.

Flight Restrictions in GEO Zones
The following section describes in detail the flight restrictions for the above mentioned GEO Zones.

GEO Zone

Flight Restriction

Restricted Zones (Red)

UAVs are prohibited from flying in Restricted Zones. If you have obtained permission to fly in a Restricted Zone, please visit https:// www.dji.com/flysafe 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.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual

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.

DJI AirSense
Airplanes with an ADS-B transceiver will actively broadcast flight information, including locations, flight paths, speeds, and altitudes. DJI aircraft incorporated with DJI AirSense technology can receive flight information broadcast from ADS-B transceivers that comply with 1090ES or UAT standards within a radius 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 DJI aircraft to calculate in real-time the potential risk of collision with the surrounding manned airplanes. DJI AirSense will 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. Always fly your aircraft within your visual line of sight and be cautious at all times to ensure flight safety. Please be aware that DJI AirSense has the following limitations: 1. 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.

Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3M contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Mavic 3M supports the following flight modes:
Normal Mode:
The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the Horizontal Omnidirectional, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems, and the Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate itself and stabilize. When the GNSS is weak, but the lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, it uses the vision systems. When the vision systems are enabled, and lighting and other environmental conditions are sufficient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum flight speed is 15 m/s.
Sport Mode:
In Sport mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed, making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note: obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in the EU).
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 A-mode when the vision systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In A-mode, the aircraft may be more easily affected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.
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 speed and braking distance of the aircraft significantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
· A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending and descending in Sport mode or Normal mode.
· The responsiveness of the aircraft significantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
· When switching the GNSS to the BeiDou satellite positioning system in DJI Pilot 2, the aircraft only uses a single positioning system and the satellite search capability becomes poor. Fly with caution.

Mapping Task
When using the mapping task, 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.
Smart Oblique and Terrain Follow can be enabled in the mapping task.

Smart Oblique
Smart Oblique is an innovative oblique photograph solution that can be enabled in the mapping task settings. Automatically control the gimbal to capture images in different required positions. The aircraft only needs to fly two mutually perpendicular s-shaped routes to collect orthophoto and oblique photos required for 3D reconstruction, which greatly improves operational efficiency. The aircraft will only take photos essential to reconstruction at the edge of the mapping area, which reduces the number of photos taken and greatly improves post-processing efficiency.
Smart Oblique is only supported when using the RGB camera.
The gimbal tilt for capturing images may vary in different segments of the flight route. All of the photos taken depend on the mapping area.
a. The gimbal tilt for capturing images may vary in different segments of the flight route. During a smart oblique flight, the aircraft will fly two mutually perpendicular s-shaped routes. The two routes will photograph the mapping area from different angles in sequence.

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.
Real-Time Follow Real-Time Follow does not require DSM files. The aircraft vision system detects the terrain fluctuations 200 m 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.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
When performing a mapping task while Real-Time Follow is enabled, the aircraft altitude above ground level (AGL) and the terrain trend (150 m ahead of the aircraft) will be displayed in the lower right corner of the camera view.

2 3 4

1. Altitude above Ground Level (AGL): displays the altitude of the aircraft relative to the ground below.
2. Aircraft velocity direction: displays the velocity vector direction of the aircraft movement. 3. Flight Path: displays the flight path that the aircraft has flown. 4. Terrain Trend Line: displays the terrain trend in the area where the aircraft is currently
located. 5. Altitude Limit: displays the maximum flight altitude of the aircraft.
· The long-distance detection range of the vision system is 80-200 m. When flying beyond this range, Real-Time Follow cannot be performed. Fly with caution. Real-Time Follow cannot work in locations that feature cliffs, steep slopes, power lines, and towers.
· 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 over surfaces without clear pattern variations or where the light is too weak or too strong. The vision system cannot work properly in the following situations: a. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, white, red, or green). b. Flying over highly reflective surfaces. (e.g., ice, glass). c. Flying over water or transparent surfaces. d. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. e. Flying in an area with frequent and drastic lighting changes. f. Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.
77 © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
g. Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors). h. Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or textures. i. Flying over surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the
same design). j. Flying over obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches). · 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 with altitude changes. The DSM files of the mapping area can be obtained using the following two methods: 1. Import Local File
a. 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.
b. Download the terrain mapping data from a geobrowser and import it to the microSD card of the remote controller.
2. 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.
Oblique Task
Oblique task 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. After the mapping area is created, five routes will be generated: the first route is for orthophoto, and the remaining four routes are for oblique photos.
78 © 2022 DJI All Rights Reserved.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
Linear Task
Linear task is used to collect orthophoto for strip-shaped areas such as rivers, pipelines, and roads. The mapping area can be generated by selecting the center line of the strip and extending outward along this line. 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.
Collecting Aerial Photogrammetry Data
The collection of aerial photogrammetry data can be achieved using three flight tasks: Mapping, Oblique, and Linear. The following takes the Mapping task as an example for specific operation instructions.
