Flight Operation Guidelines

Before flying, be sure to understand and adhere to the following flight operation guidelines to
avoid serious consequences and legal violations:
 Do not operate the aircraft while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication,
dizziness, fatigue, or nausea, or in any other poor physical or mental conditions.
 Do not fly near manned aircraft, and make sure that the aircraft does not interfere with large
manned aircraft in the same flight path when flying. Keep vigilant at all times and avoid other
aircraft. Land immediately if necessary.
 Do not fly in areas prohibited by local regulations without authorization. The prohibited areas
may include airports, borders, major cities, densely populated areas, large event sites,
emergencies (e.g., forest fires), and sensitive building facilities (e.g., nuclear power plants,
power stations, hydroelectric power stations, prisons, traffic arteries, government buildings,
and military facilities).
 Do not use the aircraft at large event sites, including but not limited to sports arenas and
concerts.
 Do not fly in airspace above the altitude limit specified in regulations.
 Do not use the aircraft to carry any illegal or hazardous goods.
 Be aware of the flight activity category (e.g., recreational, official, or commercial). Before flying,
be sure to obtain the necessary permits from relevant authorities. If necessary, consult local
legal professionals for a detailed explanation of flight activity categories.
 When using the aircraft for filming or photography, respect the privacy rights of others. Do
not use the aircraft for unauthorized surveillance activities, including but not limited to
monitoring individuals, groups, events, performances, exhibitions, or buildings.
 Note that using cameras to film or photograph individuals, groups, events, performances,
exhibitions, or buildings without authorization may infringe upon copyrights, privacy rights,
or other legal rights of others. Therefore, it is essential to familiarize yourself with and comply
with local laws and regulations before using the aircraft.

Flight Environment Requirements

 Do not fly in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, snow, rain, heavy fog, dust
storms, extreme cold, or extreme heat. The aircraft has a maximum wind resistance of
12 meters per second.
 Make sure that the aircraft takes off from and lands on open, unblocked, and flat ground,
away from crowds, nearby buildings, trees, etc., and within a visual line of sight for flight safety.
 Fly at an altitude below 4500 meters.
 Due to insufficient lighting conditions, no GNSS signal, and narrow space, some functions may
be limited. Always pay attention to the surrounding environment of the aircraft and maintain
control of the aircraft at all times.
 When flying at night, turn on the strobe and make sure that the Aux Light is enabled during
landing for flight safety.
 Do not take off from or land on moving surfaces such as moving vehicles or boats.
 Do not take off from or land on sandy surfaces to prevent sand particles from affecting the
motor service life.
 The performance of the aircraft's smart battery is subject to ambient temperature and air
density. Please use the aircraft within the temperature range of -20℃ to +50℃.
