Yes. Enabling Boat Launch automatically deactivates downward vision sensing to facilitate smooth automated takeoff and landing from a moving deck. When transitioning back to operations over land or other stationary environments, verify that downward obstacle sensing is re-engaged to maintain flight safety.
What operational factors should be considered when utilizing Boat Launch mode?
Operating Location & Conditions: Conduct takeoff and landing from the stern (rear) of the vessel whenever possible. Optimal operating parameters are vessel speeds below 10 knots and relative wind speeds under 5 m/s; exercise heightened vigilance outside these thresholds.
Deck & Payload Preparation: Secure a flat, unobstructed deck area of at least 3 m × 3 m with completely clear overhead clearance. Position the official landing marker precisely at the center, ensuring its dimensions, color, and pattern conform strictly to DJI specifications. Do not install any bottom-mounted payloads on the aircraft.
Situational Awareness: Continuously cross-reference the remote controller’s live video feed with direct visual line-of-sight observation during both takeoff and landing phases to monitor environmental shifts in real time.
Pattern Acquisition & Landing Trigger: Once the vision system identifies the landing marker, the remote controller emits both auditory and haptic alerts. Press the C1 custom button to initiate automated landing.
Touchdown Execution: When descending directly over the target pattern during auto-landing, maintain continuous downward throttle input to expedite the final touchdown and mitigate the risk of aborts caused by sudden deck movement or turbulence.
Abort & Re-engagement Behavior: If the vision system loses tracking of the landing marker during auto-landing, the aircraft may execute an automatic go-around climb; exceeding an altitude of 20 meters will cancel the landing procedure entirely. If visual lock on the target pattern is re-established during the ascent, the aircraft automatically re-engages landing mode.
What steps should be taken if the Health Management System (HMS) reports insufficient onboard GNSS satellite acquisition and advises relocating to an open area after enabling Boat Launch?
This is expected behavior. Keep the vessel stationary and allow the GNSS signals time to converge until the aircraft establishes a stable positioning fix. Convergence typically requires approximately 20 to 30 seconds, though acquisition may take longer in environments with degraded signal reception.
How should I proceed if an "IMU Abnormality" or "Large IMU Deviation" warning persists after powering on the aircraft?
Power on the aircraft while holding it steady in your hands. Once the initialization sequence finishes, place the aircraft back down on the vessel deck; the alert should clear automatically
Which transmission and distribution line configurations are compatible with the Power Line Inspection feature?
Under zero-wind conditions, the Power Line Inspection feature supports single-, two-bundle, four-bundle, six-bundle, and eight-bundle conductors, alongside overhead ground wires, provided the line inclination remains under 40°.
Is RTK positioning required to use the Power Line Inspection feature?
No, RTK is not strictly required. The aircraft dynamically tracks the elevation profile and sag of power lines during lateral flight without depending on pre-surveyed 3D models or precision flight paths.
However, if your post-flight workflow relies on photo POS metadata for centimeter-level defect geolocation, enabling RTK is highly recommended.
Does the aircraft automatically circumvent obstacles while executing a power line inspection flight?
No. If the aircraft detects obstacles such as trees or structures near the lines, it will automatically brake and maintain a stationary hover. You must take manual control to pilot past the obstruction, manually capture the omitted conductor segment, and then resume the automated inspection mission.
Can the aircraft conduct inter-phase (center-phase) conductor inspections?
For operational safety reasons, flying between conductor phases (inter-phase inspection) is strongly discouraged, as the DJI Matrice 5T must maintain close proximity to the lines during inspection tasks.
