The compass is factory-calibrated and usually does not need user calibration. If the flight app displays “Compass needs calibration,” use the app’s Compass Calibration function and follow its prompts.[1]
Before you begin

Do not turn off the aircraft or start the motors during calibration. If calibration fails, the manual says the rear arm light turns solid red; repeat the prompted steps. If the compass still does not work properly, move to a different location and calibrate again.[1][2]

Follow these steps

  1. Choose a clear calibration area

    Calibrate outdoors in an open area. Stay away from strong magnetic fields, large metal objects, power lines and charged objects; do not carry metal or ferromagnetic items such as a phone or watch. Keep the aircraft 1.5 metres above the ground during calibration.[1]

  2. Start the app procedure

    Turn on the aircraft and remote controller. In the flight app, open Compass Calibration and select Start calibrating, then follow the on-screen instructions.[1]

  3. Rotate the aircraft as prompted

    Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate it 360° until the app prompts the next step. Then hold it vertically with its nose upward and rotate horizontally 360°. Complete the final orientation and rotation shown in the app; wait for the app to confirm calibration success.[2]
