12
© 2018 DJI All Rights Reserved.
The aircraft will y in P-mode by default.
1. P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes
the GPS and Vision System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between obstacles or
track a moving object. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this
mode.
2. S-mode (Sports): Only can be enabled by remote controller, S-mode is identical to P-mode
in terms of ight controller settings, except that the handling gain values of the aircraft are
adjusted in order to enhance the maneuverability of the aircraft. The maximum ight speed of
the aircraft is increased in this mode.
The aircraft will revert to A-mode when GPS signal is weak, or when the compass experiences
interference where the Vision System is unavailable. In A-mode, the aircraft is easily affected by its
surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting.
In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft
cannot position or auto-brake in this mode. Please land in a safe place as soon as possible to avoid
hazards. Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will
otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to a potential ight hazard.
Return-to-Home
1. The Return-to-Home feature will NOT work if the GPS signal is insufficient or if GPS is not
active.
2. Press the RTH (Return-to-Home) Button on the remote controller or tap the RTH icon in the
DJI GO 4 app to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead of turning off the remote
controller.
3. Obstacles may adversely affect the Return-to-Home function. Please adjust the aircraft
location, altitude and speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.
4. Make sure to always operate the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote control
device.
