### **Flight Preparation**
Before you take off, it's essential to go through a thorough pre-flight checklist. No detail should be overlooked. Ensure all aircraft parts are present, batteries are fully charged, and your SD card has enough space. This self-test guide will help you double-check everything before launching into the sky.

### **Site Selection & Survey**
Choosing the right location is crucial. Don’t just focus on the scenery—also consider the crowd and whether the area is within a no-fly zone. Your drone’s control system contains data about restricted areas, so always check beforehand. Use satellite maps or apps like Sky City to find popular spots and verify local regulations. Make sure you have permission to fly and know the weather conditions.

### **Winter Aerial Photography Tips**
Cold weather can be tough on both you and your equipment. Batteries drain faster, and screens may freeze. Preheat your battery using a dedicated heater or let the drone hover at a controlled altitude to warm up. Also, keep your tablet or screen insulated, as mobile phones tend to handle low temperatures better than tablets. The DJI CrystalSky display is designed for cold environments, but always monitor battery levels closely.
*Note: The Inspire 2's battery has a built-in heating function.*

### **Takeoff Settings**
Safety should always come first. Before taking off, calibrate the compass, check propeller installation, and ensure both the drone and remote controller have sufficient power. In DJI GO, set a safe return altitude based on your surroundings. Avoid flying beyond visual line of sight and keep the height under 120 meters for beginners.
Also, check the GPS signal—aim for more than 10 satellites with strong signal strength to ensure stable flight and reliable intelligent functions like automatic return.

### **In-Flight Tips**
- **If real-time video is lost**: Hover the drone, re-enter the camera interface, adjust the antenna, and fly back.
- **If the drone returns automatically**: Wait for the signal to restore, then regain control.
- **Unstable hovering**: Land safely if the issue persists due to poor GPS or compass interference.
- **Compass interference**: Land immediately and recalibrate once clear of the interference.
- **Low battery alert**: Return to home immediately and avoid canceling the return.
