DJI Agras Tutorial: Remote Controller Main Interface Guide (FAA Part 137)
Share
🇺🇸 U.S.A. FIRST — DJI Agras Remote Controller Interface, Team Management, Task Data, Logs & Device Management
The DJI Agras remote controller is much more than a set of flight sticks. It is the operator’s command center for aircraft connection, field planning, task management, flight-record synchronization, team access, prescription maps, firmware, device activation, troubleshooting logs and day-to-day agricultural operations.
This guide expands DJI’s remote-controller interface tutorial into a complete operator reference. It follows the supplied DJI training video while adding practical workflow context for commercial agricultural drone operators, fleet managers and technicians. Interface labels can vary slightly by aircraft generation, remote-controller model and DJI Agriculture app version, so always use the current interface on your specific controller as the final reference.

Quick Answer: What Is the DJI Agras Main Interface Used For?
The key operator principle is to know where your data is stored and which team is active before beginning field work. A field that appears to be “missing” may simply belong to another team, remain in the cloud, or exist only on local or microSD storage.
Important Interface Clarification: Menu Names Can Change
The supplied transcript refers to items such as “My Agras Team,” “Document Management,” “Task in Progress,” “Material,” “Reconstruction Output” and “Prescription Map.” DJI has changed interface wording and menu organization across product generations and app versions. The functions remain broadly similar, but the exact label or icon on a T40-era controller may not be identical to a newer T50, T70P or T100 controller.
For that reason, use this guide to understand the function of each area rather than memorizing a single screen layout.
DJI Agras Home Screen Layout
After the remote controller powers on and the DJI Agriculture interface loads, the home screen acts as the navigation hub. The tutorial highlights a function area in the upper-left portion of the interface and a lower row containing data-management and connection functions.
| Interface Area | Primary Purpose | Operator Use |
|---|---|---|
| User / Function Area | Account, team, settings and profile access | Confirm identity, permissions and correct team |
| Log Upload | Uploads diagnostic logs and flight records | Dealer or DJI troubleshooting after an issue |
| Device Management | Firmware, activation and accessory status | Manage aircraft-connected equipment |
| Aircraft Connection Status | Shows whether the controller is connected to the aircraft | Verify system readiness before Operation View |
| Operation View | Primary flight and mission interface | Plan, configure and conduct flight operations |
User Information and Permissions
The user-information screen displays information associated with the logged-in DJI Agriculture account. Depending on software version and permissions, this can include the operator’s task area, flight hours, total flights and other account-level information.
Before beginning commercial field work, confirm that the controller is logged into the intended account. This matters when several pilots, technicians or company teams share aircraft and remote controllers.
My Agras Team: Why Team Selection Matters
One of the most important lessons in the source tutorial is that fields are bound to teams. This explains a common operator problem: a field may seem to disappear after switching accounts or teams even though the underlying field data still exists.
The account owner can create and manage teams through supported DJI Agriculture management tools. Team functionality is useful for separating operators, customers, regions or business units, but it also means the operator should verify the active team before field planning, syncing or searching.
Flight Record Auto-Sync
DJI recommends enabling flight-record synchronization so task information can be sent to the DJI Agriculture server for management and later review. In an active fleet, this can reduce the risk of operational records existing only on one controller.
Auto-sync is especially useful when multiple operators or controllers are used across the same business because it improves continuity between field work, office review and troubleshooting.
However, synchronized DJI flight records should not automatically be treated as a complete substitute for any pesticide-application, customer, state or FAA records your operation is separately required to maintain.
Flight Records Screen
The Flight Records screen allows operators to review and upload records that have not yet been synchronized. If an operation was conducted while the controller had poor connectivity, this area can be used later when a stable network is available.
A practical end-of-day workflow is:
- Connect the controller to reliable Wi-Fi.
- Open Flight Records.
- Confirm recent tasks are present.
- Upload records that remain local.
- Verify synchronization before clearing nonessential local data.
Logging Out and Logging Back In
The Exit function logs the current DJI Agriculture account out of the remote controller. After logout, the operator can sign in again by scanning the supported QR code or entering account credentials.
Do not log out casually on a controller that contains unsynchronized operational data. Confirm important records are safely synchronized or otherwise backed up first.
Message Center
Message Center collects unread and historical notices. Operators should review messages before large operating days because DJI system notices, account messages or device-related information may affect the planned workflow.
General Settings
General Settings controls controller-wide preferences such as measurement units and other application parameters. For U.S. operators, verify whether the interface is displaying imperial or metric units before entering values manually. Confusing acres and hectares, feet and meters, gallons and liters, or mph and m/s can create major operational errors.
Language and Audio Files
The controller can be configured to use the system-default language or another supported language. The tutorial notes that multilingual audio files may download when the controller language changes.
Because language packages require data, use reliable Wi-Fi for large downloads when possible rather than consuming limited cellular data in the field.
Privacy Settings and Data Sharing
The source tutorial recommends enabling privacy-related options for convenient task management and invites operators to contribute product-improvement data to DJI. Operators should review these settings within their own company privacy, customer-data and fleet-management policies rather than enabling options without understanding what data may be synchronized.
Storage Management
Storage Management allows different categories of application data to be cleared. This becomes important when a remote controller has been used for many mapping projects, logs, screenshots, screen recordings and task files.
When storage becomes limited, remove only data that is genuinely expendable. Preserve important field, task, diagnostic and customer records until they are verified elsewhere.
Network Diagnosis
Network Diagnosis provides a quick way to determine whether the remote controller can reach required online services. In the tutorial, successful connectivity is represented by green connections between network nodes.
If cloud fields, firmware updates, account login or log upload fails, run Network Diagnosis before assuming the aircraft or controller hardware is defective.
Beginner Guide
The first time an operator enters Operation View, the Beginner Guide explains the function of interface icons. The guide can be reset later if another operator needs orientation or if the controller has been reassigned.
This is useful for onboarding, but it should not replace formal aircraft training, pesticide training or the model-specific DJI manual.
Document Management: The Controller’s Data Library
Document Management is one of the most important areas of the DJI Agriculture remote controller. The tutorial groups several data types here:
| Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Planned Fields | Saved field boundaries and field-level planning data |
| Tasks in Progress | Partially completed operations that can be resumed |
| Task Templates | Preset spraying or spreading parameters |
| Materials | Spreading-material calibration profiles and relationships |
| Reconstruction Output | Results from mapping fields or fruit trees |
| Prescription Maps | Variable-rate application data generated from processed imagery |
These files may exist locally on the controller, in the DJI Agriculture cloud, or on a microSD card. Understanding the storage location is essential before deleting, transferring or troubleshooting data.
Using a microSD Card
Once a compatible microSD card is inserted, the controller can access supported data stored on the card. The source tutorial specifically notes importing fields and prescription maps through removable storage.
Use clearly organized file names when transferring operational data between computers and controllers. Avoid placing multiple similarly named versions of a field or prescription map on the same card without a clear versioning system.
Planned Fields
The Planned Field section collects previously created field data. Operators can sort fields by time or distance, categorize them by field type and search for a specific field.
Individual fields can be renamed, uploaded to the cloud or deleted. Multiple fields can also be selected for batch upload or deletion, and cloud fields can be downloaded back to the controller.
Best Practice for Field Naming
Use a naming convention that identifies the customer, farm, field and year or season. For example: SmithFarm_North80_2026. This is more useful than names such as “Field 1” once dozens of customer properties exist on the controller.
Tasks in Progress
Tasks in Progress stores missions that were started but not fully completed. This can happen because of battery changes, weather, empty tanks, interruptions or an intentional pause.
The operator can retrieve and resume the task or mark it finished when no further work is required. Before resuming, verify that the field, application settings, chemical, weather conditions and aircraft configuration are still appropriate.
Task Templates
Task Templates allow frequently used spraying or spreading parameters to be preset and reused. This can save significant setup time across repetitive jobs.
A template should still be reviewed before each operation. A prior flow rate, droplet setting, route parameter or spreading configuration may not be appropriate for a different crop, material, product label or customer.
Material Profiles for Spreading
The Material section stores spreading-material profiles. After calibration, the system can associate the material with the relationship between flow rate and gate or opening size. This helps the controller apply a more appropriate spreading configuration for the selected material.
Whenever material density, granule size, moisture or formulation changes substantially, treat the existing calibration as something to verify rather than an unquestioned constant.
For spreading-system parts and repair support, browse DJI Agras T100 Parts or the complete DJI Agras Parts catalog.
Reconstruction Output
Reconstruction Output contains processed results from mapping fields or fruit-tree environments. These outputs can support field planning and, on supported workflows, editing three-dimensional routes.
This is especially important in orchards and other complex environments where a simple flat boundary may not fully describe the operating space.
Prescription Maps
Prescription maps are used for variable-rate application workflows. The tutorial describes these as tasks generated after processing multispectral-drone imagery.
Prescription maps can help divide a field into zones with different target application rates. Before flight, verify the map corresponds to the correct field, crop, treatment and unit system. An imported prescription map that is geographically or agronomically wrong can cause a technically successful flight to deliver the wrong treatment.
How to Upload DJI Agras Logs After a Malfunction
Log Upload is one of the most valuable troubleshooting tools on the controller. When an aircraft or connected device malfunctions, DJI or an authorized service channel may need the associated logs to determine what occurred.
- Open Log Upload.
- Select the issue category that best matches the malfunction.
- Locate the logs or flight records from the time the problem occurred.
- Select and upload the relevant records.
- Wait for the upload to complete.
- Capture the generated QR code.
- Describe the problem clearly, including what the aircraft was doing immediately before the fault.
- Send the QR code and description to the appropriate DJI Agriculture dealer or after-sales support channel.
What Information Should Accompany a Log Upload?
A QR code by itself may not explain the event. A stronger service request includes the aircraft model, approximate time of occurrence, task type, firmware status, warning text, whether the problem repeated, what component was recently changed and any photos or video that show the failure.
If you need DJI Agras part identification or repair support, use the Ares Acres Contact page.
Device Management
Device Management displays connected equipment and firmware information. The tutorial describes using this area to check or update firmware and to manage accessories such as D-RTK equipment, charging devices and DJI Relay.
Before a large operating day, review firmware status across the full system rather than checking only the aircraft. Controller, aircraft, battery/charging infrastructure and accessories can all influence the workflow.
D-RTK Device Management
The controller can be used to activate or review the status of supported D-RTK equipment. RTK is used for higher-precision positioning workflows and should be verified before relying on it for route accuracy.
For newer positioning workflows, see the Ares Acres DJI T100 D-RTK 3 Setup Guide.
Charging Device Management
The tutorial notes that supported DJI charging equipment or generators can be connected to the remote controller by USB-C for activation or status inspection. Depending on device generation, the controller may display information such as activation status and other equipment information.
If a charging device is not recognized, check the cable, controller port, device power state and firmware before assuming a hardware failure.
DJI Relay Management
DJI Relay can also be activated or checked through Device Management on supported systems. Relay functionality is intended to support communications in environments where direct controller-to-aircraft signal geometry is challenging.
For more detail, see DJI Agras T100: How to Use DJI Relay.
Recommended Pre-Operation Remote Controller Workflow

Common DJI Agras Main-Interface Problems
| Problem | Likely Cause | First Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Field is missing | Wrong team, cloud-only data, local-only data or deleted field | Check account, team and cloud/local source |
| Flight records will not sync | No network, unstable connection or login issue | Run Network Diagnosis and use Wi-Fi |
| Cloud download unavailable | Connectivity or account/team mismatch | Check network and team selection |
| Prescription map cannot be found | Wrong storage location or incompatible import structure | Check microSD, local documents and file selection |
| Controller storage is full | Logs, screenshots, recordings, maps or cached data | Back up important files, then use Storage Management |
| Device will not activate | Connection, cable, network or account issue | Check USB-C connection and network status |
| Firmware update fails | Weak network, insufficient power or interrupted download | Use stable Wi-Fi and adequate controller/device power |
| Dealer cannot diagnose fault | Wrong logs or incomplete event description | Upload logs from exact event time and provide context |
Common Operator Mistakes
- Starting work without checking which team is active.
- Creating a duplicate field because the original field is stored in another team.
- Deleting local files before confirming cloud synchronization.
- Using inconsistent field names that become impossible to distinguish later.
- Assuming task templates are automatically correct for every chemical or material.
- Importing a prescription map without verifying field and unit compatibility.
- Clearing logs after a malfunction before technical support reviews them.
- Attempting firmware updates over weak field connectivity when reliable Wi-Fi is available.
- Changing unit settings without confirming all manually entered values.
- Assuming a green aircraft connection alone means the complete system is ready to fly.
FAA Part 137 Context for Remote Controller Data
For U.S. agricultural-drone operators working under FAA Part 137, the remote controller is an important operational tool because it contains route, flight and task information that can support internal fleet documentation and troubleshooting.
However, DJI controller data should not be assumed to satisfy every aviation, pesticide or state recordkeeping obligation. Commercial applicators should maintain the records required for their specific operation, pesticide label, jurisdiction and operating authority.
