Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3 Classic contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Mavic 3 Classic has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller. Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and other environment conditions are sufficient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize itself. When the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment 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 that obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum flight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when flying in the EU). Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled and when 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 shifting, which may present hazards, especially when flying in confined spaces.
· The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.
· 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.
· 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.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft 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 video link signal is lost during flight.

Home Point

GNSS
10

Description
The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home Point can be updated before takeoff as long as the aircraft receives a strong to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point cannot be updated.

Smart RTH
If the GNSS signal is sufficient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Advanced RTH Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sufficient and the environment is suitable for the vision systems when Smart RTH is triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.
RTH Settings RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go to the camera view in DJI Fly and tap > Safety > RTH.
1. 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.
2. Preset: When the aircraft is farther 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. When 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.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual
Advanced RTH Procedure 1. The Home Point is recorded. 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 the transmission signal during RTH.
5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.
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 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 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 files to the Home Point.
c. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, 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 flies to the Home Point at the current altitude.
4. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly. · Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were 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 was 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 ascending in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from RTH if the throttle stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the throttle stick is released. When flying forward in Straight Line RTH, 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. · 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. · During Straight Line RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote controller if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the aircraft and the direction of flight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the flight speed exceeds the effective sensing speed.

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual
Low Battery RTH
Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be affected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insufficient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the battery power is sufficient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment, and flight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and the aircraft can only support Low Battery RTH. The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level 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 direction and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. The throttle stick can be used to increase the ascent speed by 1 m/s if there is sufficient power. The throttle stick cannot be used to increase the ascent speed and the aircraft will land if there is no power left. During auto landing, find an appropriate place to land the aircraft as soon as possible. The aircraft will fall if there is no power remaining.
Failsafe RTH
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. Note that the action the aircraft performs when the remote controller is lost must be set to Return to Home in DJI Fly. When the lighting is sufficient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly 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. 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.

Using the Vision Systems
When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and sufficient light. The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems. The Forward, Backward, Lateral, 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.
· Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be affected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.
· The Downward Vision Systems work 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 Systems may be affected.
· The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Fly. If set to Auto, it is automatically enabled when the environment light is too weak. Note that the Vision System cameras performance may be affected when the Auxiliary Bottom Light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak.
· The Vision Systems may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water or snow-covered areas. Aircraft may not be able to land properly over water. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.
· The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations. The Vision Systems cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously. a. Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, 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 area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. f. Flying over extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces. g. Flying over surfaces that strongly reflect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors). h. Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 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.
· Vision System cameras may need to be calibrated after being stored for an extended period. A prompt will appear in DJI Fly and calibration will be performed automatically.
· DO NOT fly when it is raining, foggy, or if there is no clear sight.

Move the roll stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.
· Refer to the Remote Controller and Controlling the Aircraft sections for more information about the roll, pitch, throttle, and pan sticks.
In Spotlight mode, the aircraft will hover in place when there is an obstacle detected when the vision systems are working normally, no matter the behavior is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. Note that the vision systems are disabled in Sport mode.
Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0) The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and flight speed that is set. The mode supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. The max flight speed is 12 m/s and the flight speed may be adjusted dynamically according the actual radius. Move the roll stick to change the speed, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame. The aircraft will bypass obstacles in this mode regardless of the settings in DJI Fly when the vision systems are working normally.
ActiveTrack 5.0 ActiveTrack 5.0 is divided into Trace and Parallel, which support tracking both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine mode, the max flight speed is 12 m/s. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame. The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 5.0 regardless of the settings in DJI Fly. Trace: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude with a constant angle in the direction of the subject. The aircraft can track subjects in eight directions including front, back, left, right, forward diagonal left, front diagonal right, backward diagonal left, and backward diagonal right. The direction is set to back by default and this setting is only available when the subject is moving in a stable direction. The direction of tracking can be adjusted during tracking. Parallel: The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side. In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people with an altitude of 2-20 m (the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude is 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m when tracking vehicles or boats with an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m and altitude is 10-50 m). The aircraft will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the distance and altitude is out of range when ActiveTrack begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal distance and altitude for the best performance.

When APAS is enabled, the aircraft can be stopped by pressing the Flight Pause button on the remote controller or tapping the screen in DJI Fly. The aircraft hovers for three seconds and awaits further pilot commands. To enable APAS, go to DJI Fly and select > Safety > Bypass. Select Normal or Nifty mode when using Bypass. Nifty mode, the aircraft can fly faster, smoother, and closer to obstacles obtaining better footage while avoiding obstacles. Meanwhile, the risk of crashing with the obstacles increases. Fly with caution.
Nifty cannot work normally in the following situations: 1. When aircraft orientation changes rapidly flying near obstacles when using Bypass. 2. When flying through narrow obstacles such as canopies or bushes at high speed. 3. When flying near obstacles that are too small to detect. 4. When flying with the propeller guard.
Landing Protection Landing Protection will activate if Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass or Brake and the user pulls the throttle stick down to land the aircraft. Landing Protection is enabled once the aircraft begins to land. 1. During Landing Protection, the aircraft will automatically detect and carefully land on suitable
ground. 2. If the ground is determined unsuitable for landing, the aircraft will hover when the aircraft
descends below 0.8 m. Pull down on the throttle stick for more than five seconds and the aircraft will land without obstacle avoidance.
· Make sure you use APAS when the Vision Systems are available. Make sure there are no people, animals, objects with small surface areas (such as tree branches), or objects with transparent surfaces (such as glass or water) along the flight path.
· Make sure you 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.
· Pay attention to DJI Fly and make sure APAS is working normally. · APAS may not function properly when the aircraft is flying near flight limits or in a GEO zone.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones 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 flights in. 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. For more information about the GEO system, visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe.
Flight Limits
For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users operate this aircraft safely. Users can set flight limits on height and distance. Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage flight safety when GNSS is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.
Flight Altitude and Distance Limits
The flight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:
