The drone's Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a core sensor that helps your aircraft understand its orientation and stay stable during flight. If the DJI Pilot 2 app displays an "IMU Calibration Required" error, you'll need to perform a recalibration to ensure safe and accurate operation. This guide provides the complete steps for the DJI Matrice 300/350 RTK, Mavic 3 Enterprise, and Matrice 4 Enterprise. Before starting, please carefully review the important notes below to ensure a successful calibration.
If your remote controller displays the 'IMU Calibration Required' error message, follow these steps to calibrate the IMU.
Important:
- Do not calibrate your IMU on an uneven surface. This will negatively affect the calibration.
- Be careful with the propellers as you tilt the drone during the calibration. Ensure that you rotate them out of the way before resting the aircraft's arms on your work surface.
- For the Mavic 3 Enterprise, remove the RTK module by unscrewing the fasteners. If you don't, you will be unable to complete the calibration.
Instructions
1. Power on your remote controller and aircraft. From the home screen, tap Enter Camera View.
2. From the camera view, tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen and then tap the Drone icon to enter the Flight Controller Settings menu.
3. Within the Flight Controller Settings menu, scroll down and tap Sensor Status.
4. Tap Calibrate IMU.
Follow the on-screen instructions, which prompt you to position and balance your drone at different angles while the IMU is calibrated. Make sure to rotate any propellers out of the way to avoid putting too much stress on them.
Be sure to take extra care in handling your aircraft during this process. The aircraft will rest comfortably in each requested position.
