Flight Mode
P-mode (Positioning):

Fly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode. Note that handling gain values
are reduced in P-mode.
S-mode(Sport): The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. Handling gain values of the aircraft are
speed. Since Forward and Downward Vision System is disabled, the aircraft will not
be able to sense and avoid obstacle in S-mode. Ground Station and the Intelligent
Flight functions are not available in Sport Mode.
The aircraft will automatically switch to P-ATTI mode when the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions
are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision System. The aircraft will only use its barometer for
positioning to control the altitude.
The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will not
be able to automatically avoid obstacles on its route.
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.

location and status.
Precision Landing
The Mavic Pro automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features underneath during Return
to Home. When current terrain matches home point terrain, the Mavic will start landing immediately to
achieve precision landing. The DJI GO app will show a terrain feature mismatch prompt if matching fails.
Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions:
b. Aircraft must take off vertically. Take off altitude must be greater than 10 meters.
c. Home point terrain features remain largely unchanged.
d. Home point terrain with no distinctive features will affect the performance.
e. Lighting condition cannot be too light nor too dark.
The following actions are available during landing:
a. Pull throttle down to accelerate landing.
b. Moving the control sticks in any directions will stop Precision Landing, causing the Mavic
Pro to descend vertically. Landing Protection will remain active.
