Aircraft Profile
The Mavic Pro aircraft comprises of a flight controller, video downlink, propulsion system and an
Intelligent Flight Battery. This section introduces the features of the flight controller, video downlink and
other aircraft components.
Flight Mode
The following flight modes are available for Mavic Pro:
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 16° with a maximum flight speed of 22 mph
(36 kph). When forward obstacle sensing are disabled, the maximum flight attitude
angle is 25° and the maximum flight speed is 36 mph (58 kph).
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 position-
ing 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.
The Forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will not
be able to automatically avoid obstacles on its route.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are significantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 30 meters is required in windless conditions.
Descending speed is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport).
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.
Use the Flight Mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft.
