Flight Controller
The Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ ight 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 ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device.
The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.
Flight Mode
Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found below:
P-mode (Positioning):
P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS,
stereo Vision System and Infrared Sensing System to stabilize, avoid obstacles or track moving subjects.
Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
S-mode (Sport):
The handling gain values of the aircraft are adjusted to enhance aircraft maneuverability.
The maximum ight speed of the aircraft is increased to 45mph (72kph). Note that Obstacle Sensing
systems are disabled in this mode.
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.
The forward and rear Vision System are disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the
aircraft will not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight 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 signicantly 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 ight.
The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly 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 ight mode of the aircraft.
