🇨🇦 CANADA — DJI Agras T100 First Flight Quick Start: Preflight, Manual Takeoff, Landing & Emergency Stop for Canadian Operators

🇺🇸 Reading from the United States? See the U.S. edition: DJI Agras T100 First Flight Quick Start: Preflight, Manual Takeoff, Landing & Emergency Stop

This Canadian edition is written for Canadian DJI Agras operators across Canada, from the Prairie grain belt of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba to the row crops of Ontario and Quebec and the orchards and vineyards of British Columbia and Niagara. It is the first-flight checklist: green Operation View status, RTK, network diagnostics, motor start, manual takeoff, landing and emergency stop. The procedure, specifications and warnings below are identical to the original edition linked above — the hardware does not change at the border. What changes for a Canadian operator is the regulatory and purchasing context: the DJI Agras T100 falls into Transport Canada’s medium RPAS class (25–150 kg) and flies within visual line of sight on an Advanced Operations pilot certificate under the November 2025 rules, with a Special Flight Operations Certificate for anything outside that envelope; spraying follows provincial applicator licensing and Health Canada PMRA aerial label directions, and pricing is shown in Canadian dollars. Ares Acres stocks T100 propellers, batteries and RTK accessories referenced in this guide as genuine DJI Agras OEM parts, ships them to Canada with free standard shipping, and shows CAD pricing at checkout.

The T100 Quick Start Guide gives a compact first-flight sequence immediately after the aircraft/remote overview. This page turns that sequence into a field checklist while preserving the boundaries of the source: it covers readiness, manual takeoff/landing and the documented emergency motor-stop input, not every possible operational safety condition.

Quick Answer: Power on the remote controller, make sure DJI Agras is open, then power on the aircraft. Confirm the controller and aircraft are connected and that the status bar in Operation View is green. DJI recommends RTK positioning and recommends a DJI Cellular Dongle for internet connectivity. Start the motors with the combination stick command held for two seconds, push the left stick up in Mode 2 to take off, and hold the left stick down after landing for three seconds to stop the motors. In an emergency, hold C1 + C2 + Flight Pause until the motor stops.

Know the controls you are about to use

DJI Agras T100 remote controller button and port map — The Quick Start Guide labels the controller controls, including C1/C2, Flight Pause, RTH, flight mode switch and the spray/spread button.

Before a first manual takeoff, locate the controls involved in normal and emergency handling. The quick-start diagram labels the touchscreen, connection-status LED, control sticks, RTH button, status/battery LEDs, power button, Flight Pause button, external antennas, C3, spray/spread button, flight-mode switch, ports, dials, internal antennas and C1/C2 buttons.

1. Power sequence and connection check

Power on the remote controller, confirm DJI Agras is open, then power on the aircraft. Make sure the remote controller and aircraft are connected. From the app home screen, tap Start to enter Operation View.

The Quick Start Guide makes the upper-left status bar a hard first-flight checkpoint: it should be green. If it is not green, the aircraft cannot take off.

2. RTK positioning is recommended

DJI recommends RTK positioning. In Operation View, open the relevant menu, select RTK and choose a method for receiving RTK signals. The verified hardware path for a mobile RTK station is the DJI Agras T100 D-RTK 3 High-Precision GNSS Mobile Station. The Quick Start Guide does not require D-RTK 3 specifically; it recommends RTK positioning generally.

3. Check network diagnostics when using a cellular dongle

The Quick Start Guide recommends a DJI Cellular Dongle for internet connection. In Operation View, open Network Diagnostics. The dongle and SIM are functioning properly when the devices in the network chain show green. No active exact T100 cellular-dongle product page was verified during this build, so this article does not invent one.

4. Manual motor start and takeoff

DJI Agras T100 preflight manual motor start takeoff landing diagram — The manufacturer quick-start page shows the motor-start stick combinations plus takeoff and landing stick inputs.

Start motors: perform the combination stick command shown by DJI and hold for two seconds. The quick-start illustration shows both accepted inward/outward stick combinations.

Takeoff: in Mode 2, push the left control stick upward.

5. Manual landing and motor stop

Push the left control stick down until the aircraft lands. After touchdown, continue holding it down for three seconds to stop the motors.

Emergency motor stop

The Quick Start Guide states that in an emergency, press and hold C1 + C2 + Flight Pause simultaneously until the motor stops. Treat this as an emergency control, not a normal landing method.

Aircraft systems around the first flight

DJI Agras T100 aircraft component map propellers radar lidar spray tank pumps — The Quick Start Guide labels 23 aircraft components, including propulsion, spraying, vision, radar, D-RTK antennas, LiDAR, FPV, flow meter and delivery pumps.

If the first-flight concern is related to obstacle sensing, radar, LiDAR or RTK rather than the basic takeoff sequence, use the T100 Aircraft Systems guide. If the issue is battery or power, use the DB2160 battery and the dedicated battery manual rather than assuming a flight-control fault.

Deeper procedure handoff

This page owns the first-flight quick-start intent. The deeper normal-procedure article remains DJI Agras T100 Preflight, Takeoff, Flight Modes & Return-to-Home.

Canadian Operator FAQ: T100 First Flight Quick Start

Does Ares Acres ship T100 propellers, batteries and RTK accessories to Canada?

Yes. Ares Acres ships genuine DJI Agras OEM parts, including T100 propellers, batteries and RTK accessories referenced in this guide, to Canada with free standard shipping, and Canadian customers see CAD pricing at checkout.

Do I need an SFOC to fly the DJI Agras T100 in Canada?

Not for every operation. Under Transport Canada’s November 2025 rules, the DJI Agras T100 falls into the medium RPAS class (25–150 kg) and can be flown within visual line of sight on an Advanced Operations pilot certificate; a Special Flight Operations Certificate is still required for operations outside that envelope, such as beyond visual line of sight or payloads Transport Canada treats as dangerous goods. Confirm current requirements with Transport Canada and your provincial regulator before operating.

Is this first-flight procedure different for Canadian operators?

No. The first-flight procedure described here is identical in every country; only the regulatory framework, the purchasing path and the units used in this guide differ. Confirm current requirements with Transport Canada and your provincial regulator before operating.
