Aircraft Status Indicators Description

Feature Highlights

The updated Route operation mode includes Connection Routing. In Connection Routing, the aircraft will automatically retum to a task route. Users can mark obstacles outside the task area during field planning for the aircraft to avoid and also add connection points for the aircraft to travel through along the connection route back to the task route. Operations are further automated by the Smart Supply Reminder, which calculates the remaining liquid amount in real time and displays the refill point on the map \

The crosshair can be used to add boundary and obstacle points in field planning, making operations easier than ever for users. The aircraft can perform variable rate fertilization by importing prescription maps to the remote controller and applying them to fields.

The Spherical Radar System consists of the Omnidirectional Digital Radar and Upward Radar, providing altitude detection and stabilization in forward, backward, and downward directions as well as obstacle sensing in all horizontal directions and upward direction when in Route, A-B Route, and

Manual Plus operation modes. The radar can detect the angle of a slope and automatically adjust to maintain the same distance with the surface even in mountainous terrain. In Route and A-B Route operation modes, the radar can effectively sense obstacles and plan a route to actively circumvent obstacles. Obstacle circumvention is disabled by default and must be enabled in the app.

The spraying system is equipped with plunger pumps and a continuous liquid level gauge to offer even and accurate spraying. DJI provides an optional 130 Orchard Spray Package, which enablesusers to change the T30 to the Orchard configuration. When using the package and DJI's unique branch-targeting technology, the 130 can penetrate thick canopies for more precise and efficient spraying operations.

Multi-Aircraft Control mode enables users to coordinate the operation of multiple aircraft simultaneously with one remote controller. Users can switch between different aircraft in the app.
