Flight modes are critical in drone flight. In what situation to switch what flight mode to grab the control, when into what flight mode can be safe and trouble-free flight. The following is an example of the DJI Genie 4 flight mode to tell the difference between flight modes.

A gear: Attitude mode.

The visual positioning system, GPS positioning system, and obstacle avoidance system all have data present in this mode, but are not involved in the work. That is to say, the above three auxiliary systems are just watching the show, and will not be involved in the actual work. When outdoors, if you lose control in attitude mode, the GPS meets the positioning then the flight control will start runaway protection, not meet the positioning will not start runaway protection. (Runaway protection has three options: runaway return, runaway hover, runaway landing) whether the GPS meets the positioning APP will be prompted, the flight indicator will also be prompted, please check the manual for details.

P gear: P gear is the positioning mode. Positioning is divided into GPS positioning and vision system positioning. The GPS positioning system does not work when the drone is indoors, and the visual positioning system does not work because it cannot collect effective data at high altitude and open places outdoors.

One of the key points in this chapter is

The GPS positioning mode requires two conditions: the accuracy of GPS positioning and the normal operation of the compass. When the drone is flying, the GPS and compass may be interfered with (easily interfered with in buildings, large magnetic or magnetizing environments). Need to manually take over the control of the drone. Compass is disturbed after the performance of their own in a direction to fly away more quickly, or their own flight around the circle. At this point, the flight control is not going to cut into the A-file itself, you need to manually force to cut into the A-file attitude mode to seize control. Once can not cut a few more times to try, do not turn off the control thinking about runaway protection, at this time the runaway protection is ineffective (GPS mode runaway protection must meet two factors: GPS and compass data are normal) If you do not seize control at this time, then you pray well.

The second focus of this chapter S gear sport mode.

Sport mode, as the name implies, the response speed is greatly improved. Of course, when meeting the positioning of the drone is also in the positioning mode. But in flight if the speed is too fast then the obstacle avoidance system can not participate in the work, most of the current use of vision + infrared obstacle avoidance. When the speed is too fast these CNC collection is not enough to solve the calculation. Therefore, the obstacle avoidance system does not work.
