Aircraft
Mavic Air 2 contains a flight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system,
propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.
Flight Modes
Mavic Air 2 has three ight modes, plus a fourth ight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain scenarios.
Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.
Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GPS and the Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Systems and
Infrared Sensing System to locate itself and stabilize. When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GPS
to locate itself and stabilize. When the GPS is weak and the lighting conditions are sucient, the aircraft uses
vision systems to locate itself and stabilize. When the Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Systems are
enabled and lighting conditions are sucient, the maximum ight altitude angle is 20° and the maximum ight
speed is 12 m/s.
Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GPS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for
agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. The maximum ight speed is 19 m/s.
Obstacle sensing is disabled in Sport mode.
Tripod Mode: Tripod mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft more
stable during shooting.
The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled
and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may be
more easily aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting,
which may present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces.
The Forward and Backward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which means the aircraft cannot
sense obstacles on its route automatically.
The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft signicantly increase in Sport mode. A minimum
braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.
Descent speed signicantly increases in Sport mode. A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in
windless conditions.
The aircraft’s responsiveness signicantly 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 ight.
Aircraft Status Indicators
Mavic Air 2 has front LEDs and aircraft status indicators.
