Make sure to comply with local laws and regulations when using Multi-Aircraft Control mode.

Fly Safe

It is important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both for your protection and for the safety of those around you.

1. Flying in Open Areas: pay attention to utility poles, power lines, and other obstacles. DO NOT fly near or above water, people, or animals.
2. Maintain Control at All Times: keep your hands on the remote controller and maintain control of the aircraft when it is in flight, even when using intelligent functions such as the Route and A-B Route operation modes and Smart Return to Home.
3. Maintain Line of Sight: maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) with your aircraft at all times and avoid flying behind buildings or other obstacles that may block your view.
4. Monitor Your Altitude: for the safety of manned aircraft and other air traffic, fly at altitudes lower than 100 m (328 ft) and in accordance with all local laws and regulations.

Visit https://www.dji.com/flysafe for more information on critical safety features such as GEO zones.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. DO NOT use the aircraft to spray in winds exceeding 18 kph (11 mph).
2. DO NOT use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions such as winds exceeding 28 kph (17 mph). heavy rain exceeding 25 mm (0.98 in) in 12 hours. snow. or fog.
3. DO NOT fly more than 4.5 km (14.763 ft) above sea level.
4. The DJI Agras app will intelligently recommend the payload weight limit for the tank according to the current status and surroundings of the aircraft. Do not exceed the recommended payload weight limit when adding material to the tank. Otherwise. flight safety may be affected.
5. Make sure that there is a strong GNSS signal and the D-RTK antennas are unobstructed during operation.

Return to Home (RTH)

The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point in the following situations: Smart RTH: user presses and holds the RTH button. Failsafe RTH: the remote controller signal is lost: If there is an obstacle within 20 m of the aircraft. the aircraft decelerates and brakes and hOvers. The aircraft will exit RTH and wait for further commands. ff RTH is triggered during Route operations. the aircraft can plan a fight path for RTH to circumvent the obstacles added when planning a field. The aircraft will RTH or hover if the remote controller signal is lost. The action can be set in the app. Failsafe RTH will only be available if RTH is set.
• Obstacle avoidance is disabled when the aircraft is in Attitude mode. which it enters in situations such as when the GNSS signal is weak. Note that obstacle avoidance is unreliable when using the aircraft in environments where the radar module cannot operate normally. Extra caution is required in such situations.

Pesticide Usage

1. Avoid the use of powder pesticides as much as possible as they may reduce the service life of the spraying system.
2. Pesticides are poisonous and pose serious risks to safety. Only use them in strict accordance with their specifications.
3. Use clean water to mix the pesticide and filter the mixed liquid before pouring it into the spray tank to avoid blocking the strainer.
4. Effective use of pesticides depends on pesticide density, spray rate, and spray distance. aircraft speed. wind speed. wind direction, temperature, and humidity. Consider all factors when using pesticides.
5. DO NOT compromise the safety of people. animals. or the environment during operation.
