Page 2: Information
This document supports high resolution printing. Information There are two kinds of altitudes displayed in the DJI GS RTK app, absolute altitude and relative altitude. Absolute altitude: The geographical attribute, in relation to longitude and latitude. Relative altitude: The altitude data of the operation tasks relative to the Home Point. In the same operation, the absolute altitude for the same point during the operation will vary when taking off from locations with dif- ferent elevations.

Flight Modes The Phantom 4 RTK uses a DJI dedicated flight controller, which provides the flight modes below: P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GNSS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GNSS / RTK module and Vision System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between obstacles, and perform a Photogrammetry or Waypoint Flight operation.
Page 14: Aircraft Status Indicators
Phantom 4 RTK User Manual Aircraft Status Indicators The Phantom 4 RTK has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicators Front LEDs The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft.
