DJI Phantom 3 Standard Falls Over During Landing

If your DJI Phantom 3 Standard tips over or falls onto its side when landing, follow this page for possible solutions.

If the drone lands on a surface that is uneven or sloped, it may cause it to lose balance and tip over.

To avoid this, try landing on a flat, solid surface free of any debris. You can also consider using a landing pad to ensure this wherever you go to use it.

A fast or unstable descent can cause the drone to bounce when landing, possibly leading it to tip over.

To ensure this doesn't happen, use the auto-landing feature or descend slowly using the left stick. Keep adjustments small and to a minimum as the drone touches the ground.

Cracks, warped, or bent propellers can cause instability during touchdown, resulting in tipping.

Check each propeller for damage or bends. You should replace said propeller with a new one.

Landing gear can become cracked, bent, or flex unevenly when applied with pressure, causing instability during landing.

Inspect the landing gear for any fractures, warping, or if one side sits slightly lower than the others. If so, you should replace the landing gear.

If the drone thinks it's level but isn't, this can cause the drone's auto-landing function to try landing at a bad angle.

Place the drone on a completely level surface and open the DJI GO app. Recalibrate the IMU following the instructions that will appear on screen.
