Using the SDK
DJI Mobile API and Onboard API are supported by the Matrice 100. Users can use these APIs to 
develop their own applications to monitor and control their aircraft. Visit the DJI SDK page on the DJI 
Developer website (https://developer.dji.com) for information on using these APIs. 
Flight
Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the ight simulator to learn how to 
y safely. Ensure that all ights are carried out in an open area. 
Flight Environment
1.  Do not use the aircraft in adverse weather conditions including raining, snowing, fog, and wind 
speeds exceeding 10 m/s. 
2.  Only y in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the compass 
and the GPS signal. 
3.  Avoid ying near obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees and bodies of water. 
4.  Avoid ying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations and 
radio transmission towers. 
5. Aircraft  and battery  performance  is  subject to  environment  factor such  as  air  density and 
temperature. Be very careful when ying over 14700 feet (4500 meters) above sea level as the 
battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 
6.  The Matrice 100 cannot operate in P-Mode within the Earth’s polar regions. 
Flight Limits and No Fly Zones
Flight limits on height and distance can be set. 
Unmanned aerial  vehicle (UAV)  operators should  abide by  the regulations  from  self-regulatory 
organizations such as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), the FAA and their local 
aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are  enabled by default to help users use  this 
product safely and legally. 
When operating in P-Mode, the height limit, distance limit and No Fly Zones work together to monitor 
ight. In A-Mode, only the height limit prevents the aircraft from going above 120 meters. 
Maximum Height and Radius Limits
Users can change the maximum height and radius limits in the DJI GO app. Once complete, your 
Matrice 100 will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below show 
the details of these limits.
