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.

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.
24 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
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.

DJI Mavic 3M User Manual
Altitude Zones (Gray)
The aircraft altitude is limited when flying inside an Altitude Zone.
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 away from the Restricted or Authorization Zone when
inside the buffer zone. The aircraft 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
away from the Altitude Zone. The aircraft 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
To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes:
Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request either on the DJI Fly
Safe website or via a mobile device.
Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete
Self-Unlocking, the user must submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe
website at https://www.dji.com/ flysafe. Once the unlocking request is
approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Pilot
2 app (Live Self-Unlocking). To unlock the zone, alternatively, the user may
launch or fly the aircraft directly into the approved Authorization Zone and
follow the prompts in DJI Pilot 2 to unlock the zone (Scheduled Self-
Unlocking). For Live Self-Unlocking, the user can designate an unlocked period
during which multiple flights can be operated. Scheduled SelfUnlocking is only
valid for one flight. If the aircraft is restarted, the user will need to
unlock the zone again.
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 Fly
Safe website at https://www.dji.com/flysafe.
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

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. 2. If there is an obstacle between a manned airplane and a DJI
aircraft, DJI AirSense will not be able to receive ADS-B messages from the
airplane or send warnings to the user. Keenly observe your surroundings and
fly with caution. 3. Warning prompts may be delayed if DJI AirSense
experiences any interference from the surrounding environment. Keenly observe
your surroundings and fly with caution. 4. Warning prompts may not be received
if the DJI aircraft is unable to obtain information on its location. 5. DJI
AirSense cannot receive ADS-B messages from manned airplanes or send warnings
to the user when it is disabled or misconfigured.
When the DJI AirSense system detects a risk, the AR projection display will
appear 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. 1. Notice: a blue
airplane icon will appear on the map. 2. 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.
3. Warning: the app will display the message: “Collision risk. Descend or

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.
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. 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 flight modes are only valid for manual flight.
· 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.

6. While the aircraft is circling automatically, users can move the roll
stick left or right to decrease or increase the circling speed. A yellow line
will appear in the speed bar, which represents that the user has manually
decreased or increased the speed.
7 Once the desired speed has been reached, press the C1 button on the remote
controller or tap the C1 icon in the camera view to set the updated speed as
the POI speed. The aircraft will automatically circle at the new POI speed.

8. Tap the shutter/record button to take photos or start recording. 9. Press
the Flight Pause button or the C1 button once on the remote controller or tap
the
C1 icon in the camera view, the aircraft will brake and hover in place. Tap
the POI icon in the camera view to exit the POI mode. · Only Single and Timed
photos and video recordings are supported in POI mode. · When the aircraft
icon moves to the end of the speed bar, it shows that the aircraft has reached
the maximum speed at the current circling radius. The maximum circling speed
changes based on the current circling radius. The larger the circling radius,
the higher the maximum circling speed. · While the aircraft is circling, if
the user has changed the aircraft orientation with the yaw stick so that the
aircraft does not look directly at the selected PinPoint, in this condition,
if the user moves the pitch stick up and down, the aircraft will not fly
forward or backward following current orientation. Instead, the aircraft will
fly toward or away from the selected PinPoint.

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.
Smart Oblique and Terrain Follow can be enabled in the area route.
Oblique Collection
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
Smart Oblique is an innovative oblique photograph solution that can be enabled
in the Oblique Collection 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.
