Flight Controller

The Inspire 2 flight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe
and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is
lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage
device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below:
P-mode (Positioning) :
P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward
and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between
obstacles. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum
flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing are disabled, the maximum flight
attitude angle is 35°.
When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and
Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control
altitude.
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.
S-mode (Sport):
The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are
disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground
Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode.
Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick
movements.
A-mode (Attitude):
When neither the GPS nor the Vision System is available, the aircraft will only use its barometer
for positioning to control the altitude. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also
not available in A-mode.
The forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its flight path. Be vigilant and stay clear
of nearby obstacles.
The aircraft's maximum speed and braking distance are significantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless
conditions.
The aircraft's responsiveness is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.
Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
The aircraft's descent speed is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking
distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.
Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft.
