DJI T100 Flight Planning Tutorial: Plotting Multiple Fields for Maximum Efficiency

Managing agricultural drone missions across multiple fields doesn’t need to be complicated. With the DJI Agras T100 and its integrated flight planning system, you can streamline your operations by plotting, saving, and managing multiple fields in one workflow. Whether your goal is to spray, seed, fertilize, or survey, mastering multi-field flight programming will dramatically improve both coverage accuracy and operational efficiency.

In this guide, we walk through how to set up multiple fields in the DJI Flight app, assign separate tasks to each area, and program precise routes that minimize overlap and downtime.

For drone operators working with complex terrain or large farm plots, this tutorial will help you unlock the full potential of the DJI Agras T100.


Setting Up the DJI Agras T100 for Multi-Field Missions

Before starting any mapping work, ensure that your DJI Agras T100 is fully updated with the latest firmware and that your DJI remote controller has a reliable GPS signal. Launch the DJI Agriculture app and switch to the operation planning interface.

From here, you’ll be able to load existing fields, create new zones, and assign task parameters. If you're working in a region with varied topography, activating terrain-follow mode will help the T100 maintain a consistent altitude throughout the mission.

Using RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) support through the D-RTK 2 or 3 GNSS mobile station is also recommended for precision mapping and flight reliability across multiple zones.


Plotting Multiple Fields in a Single Session

Once you're in the mission planning interface, begin by selecting the first plot. Draw your field boundaries carefully using the satellite view or map layout. After saving the first zone, click “Add Field” to create the next.

Continue this process until each of your farm plots has been outlined. The DJI T100 allows you to store multiple fields in memory, letting you switch between jobs with minimal reprogramming.

Each zone can be labeled by crop type or farm location, helping you keep your spraying, seeding, or fertilizing schedules clearly organized.


Programming Flight Routes by Zone

After your fields are plotted, the next step is to assign task parameters for each one. This includes route type (e.g., spraying or seeding), spray width, flight speed, and overlap percentage.

The DJI T100’s intelligent flight system allows for route customization per field, which is especially useful if soil conditions or plant spacing vary across zones.

Select one field at a time and enter the flight parameters. The system will generate a preview route for that zone. Once confirmed, save the settings and move on to the next field. When all zones are programmed, you can execute them consecutively or independently, depending on your workload for the day.


Reducing Downtime and Improving Workflow

One of the key benefits of multi-field programming is reducing the amount of time spent manually configuring new missions in the field. When zones are stored and ready in the DJI system, switching between tasks is as simple as tapping a button.

For professional operators handling several farms or plots per day, this kind of planning not only boosts productivity but also reduces the margin for error. Having pre-programmed field data eliminates the need to redraw maps every time you arrive on site.

If your T100 is equipped with carbon fiber premium propellers, it will also improve wind resistance and battery life during longer sessions. This makes continuous multi-zone operations more efficient, especially when covering large areas in a single battery cycle.


Advanced Use: Terrain-Aware Routes and Variable Rates

For farms with uneven elevation or variable soil composition, activating terrain-awareness ensures your drone maintains optimal altitude throughout the route.

This feature, powered by the onboard radar and RTK input, allows for more consistent coverage and reduces the risk of over-application on sloped areas. For operators working with precision agriculture software, it's also possible to import variable rate application data directly into the DJI Flight interface.

These advanced capabilities make the DJI Agras T100 a powerful tool for data-driven agriculture, delivering precise results with less waste and fewer refills.
