Flight Safety
This section describes safe flight practices and flight restrictions.
19 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
Flight Safety
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your flight
skills and practice flying safely. Pick a suitable area to fly in according to
the following flight requirements and restrictions. Make sure you understand
and comply with the local laws and regulations before flying. Read the Safety
Guidelines before flight to ensure the safe use of the product.
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 6000 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. The braking distance of the aircraft is affected by the flight altitude.
The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When flying at an
altitude above 3,000 m (9,843 ft), the user should reserve at least 20 m of
vertical braking distance and 25 m of horizontal braking distance to ensure
flight safety.
7. GNSS cannot be used on the aircraft in polar regions. Use the vision
system instead. 8. DO NOT take off from moving objects, such as cars and
ships. 9. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and battery
charger near accidents,
fires, explosions, floods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes,
dust, or sandstorms. 10. Use the battery charger in a temperature range of 5°
to 40° C (41° to 104° F). 11. Operate the aircraft, battery, remote
controller, and battery charger in a dry environment. 12. DO NOT use the
battery charger in humid environments.

suffering
from dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or other conditions that could impair the
ability to operate the aircraft safely. 2. When landing, power off the
aircraft first, then switch off the remote controller. 3. DO NOT drop, launch,
fire, or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any
20© 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
buildings, persons, or animals, which could cause personal injury or property
damage. 4. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been crashed or accidentally
damaged or an aircraft that is
not in good condition. 5. Make sure to train sufficiently and have contingency
plans for emergencies or when an
incident occurs. 6. Make sure to have a flight plan. DO NOT fly the aircraft
recklessly. 7. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure
to comply with local
privacy laws, regulations, and moral standards. 8. DO NOT use this product for
any reason other than general personal use. 9. DO NOT use it for illegal or
inappropriate purposes such as spying, military operations, or
unauthorized investigations. 10. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse,
harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate
legal rights such as the right to privacy and publicity of others. 11. DO NOT
trespass onto the private property of others.
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 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://fly-safe.dji.com.
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
Max altitude restricts an aircraft’s flight altitude, while max distance
restricts an aircraft’s flight radius around the Home Point. These limits can
be changed in the DJI Fly app for improved flight safety.

· If an aircraft exceeds a specified limit, the pilot can still control the
aircraft but cannot fly any closer to the restricted area.
· For safety reasons, DO NOT fly the aircraft close to airports, highways,
railway stations, railway lines, city centers, or other sensitive areas. Only
fly the aircraft within a visual line of sight.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
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 the DJI Fly app. 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.
Unlocking GEO Zones
To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes:
Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe
website. 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://fly-safe.dji. com. Once the unlocking request is
approved, the user may synchronize the unlocking license through the DJI Fly
app. 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 Fly 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 Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji.com.
· 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.

is involved in a collision, a motor has stalled, the aircraft is rolling in
the air, or the aircraft is out of control and is ascending or descending very
quickly. To stop the motors mid-flight, perform the same CSC that was used to
start the motors for two seconds. The default setting can be changed in DJI
Fly.

Aircraft
DJI Mavic 3 Pro contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision
systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight
Battery.
Flight Modes
DJI Mavic 3 Pro supports the following flight modes. The flight modes can be
switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode
The aircraft utilizes GNSS, the Horizontal, Upward, and Downward Vision
Systems, and the 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 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 Avoidance is disabled and the maximum
flight speed is 21 m/s.
Cine Mode
Cine mode is based on Normal mode with a limited flight speed, making the
aircraft more stable during shooting. If the aircraft is flying in the EU, the
aircraft will switch to Low Speed mode when the flight mode is switched to C
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.
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 aircraft will not be able to hover or brake
automatically. Therefore the pilot should land the aircraft as soon as
possible to avoid accidents.
· The flight modes are only valid for manual flight and cruise control. · 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.
43 © 2023 DJI All Rights Reserved.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
· 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.

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. After the Home Point is recorded, a
prompt will appear in DJI Fly.
If it is necessary to update the Home Point during a flight (such as where the
position of the user has changed), the Home Point can be manually updated in
Settings > Safety page in DJI Fly.
During RTH, if the video transmission signal is normal, the AR Home Point, AR
RTH route, and AR aircraft shadow will be displayed in the camera view by
default. This improves the flight experience by helping users view the RTH
route and Home Point and avoid obstacles on the route. The display can be
changed in System Settings > Safety > AR Settings.
· 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 live view on
the screen during RTH. Fly with caution.
· During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will automatically adjust the gimbal tilt
to point the camera toward the RTH route by default. Use the gimbal dial to
adjust the camera orientation or press 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. The gimbal tilt will not be adjusted automatically during Straight
Line RTH
· When reaching the Home Point, the aircraft will automatically adjust the
gimbal tilt vertically down.
· AR aircraft shadow is only displayed when the aircraft is 0.5-15 m above the
ground.

DJI Mavic 3 Pro User Manual
2. 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. 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.
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 sensing obstacles and avoiding 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,

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 suit 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. · 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 Fly. · 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 sense 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 sense
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. · If the home point is in the Altitude Zones while the aircraft
is outside, the advanced RTH will fly the aircraft below the altitude limit,
which may be lower than the set RTH altitude. Fly with caution. · 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

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 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 only enough to
complete an RTH flight. The aircraft will automatically fly to the Home Point
if no action is taken after a 10-second countdown. The user can cancel RTH by
pressing the RTH 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 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. During auto landing, move the aircraft
horizontally to find an appropriate place to land as soon as possible. The
aircraft will fall if the user keeps pushing the throttle stick upward until
the power is depleted.
Failsafe RTH
The action of the aircraft when the remote controller signal is lost can be
set to RTH, land,or hover in Setting > Safety > Advanced Safety Settings in
DJI Fly. 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 Fly will display
the RTH path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller
signal was lost using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft
will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored. DJI Fly
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

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System
DJI Mavic 3 Pro is equipped with both an infrared sensing system and
horizontal, upward, and downward vision systems. The upward and downward
vision systems consist of two cameras each, and the forward, backward, and
lateral vision systems consist of four cameras in total. The infrared sensing
system consists of two 3D infrared modules. The downward vision system and
infrared sensing system help the aircraft maintain its current position, hover
more precisely, and fly indoors or in other environments where GNSS is
unavailable. 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. Users can also
turn it on or off manually in the DJI Fly app. Each time the aircraft is
restarted, the auxiliary bottom light will revert back to the default setting
Auto.
· The auxiliary LED is set to auto when used in the EU and cannot be changed.

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 Fly, and be responsible for and maintain
control of the aircraft at all times.
· Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are only available when flying
manually and are unavailable in modes such as RTH, auto landing, and
Intelligent Flight Mode.
· 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. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be temporarily
disabled in clouds and fog or when an obstacle is detected when landing. Keep
Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing enabled in regular flight scenarios.
Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are enabled by default after
restarting the aircraft.
· 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.
· In low-light environments, the vision systems may not achieve optimal
positioning performance even if the auxiliary bottom light is turned on. Fly
with caution if the GNSS signal is weak in such environments.
