DJI AP100 Drone Parachute System
The DJI AP100 is a professional drone parachute safety system developed for the DJI Matrice 400 enterprise platform. It combines an intelligent Parachute Recovery System (PRS) with an independent Flight Termination System (FTS) to improve flight safety during demanding commercial operations.
Designed for enterprise users, the AP100 helps reduce the risk of damage by automatically deploying a parachute when critical flight conditions are detected. If necessary, operators can also manually activate the system using DJI Pilot 2 or FlightHub 2.
The integrated Flight Termination System independently shuts down the aircraft motors before parachute deployment, helping prevent propeller interference and ensuring a safer descent. Multiple built-in sensors continuously monitor flight attitude, motor behavior, voltage, and other important flight conditions to determine when emergency deployment is required.
The AP100 also supports operators working under advanced drone regulations by helping compatible DJI Matrice 400 aircraft meet EASA C5/C6 and UK5/UK6 operational requirements when used in accordance with applicable regulations.
Built for outdoor environments, the system features an IP55-rated enclosure, reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range, and a compact design that integrates easily with the aircraft without significantly affecting portability.
Continuous System Monitoring
Key Features and Capabilities
Intelligent Emergency Parachute Deployment
The AP100 automatically deploys its parachute when serious flight abnormalities are detected, helping reduce impact during emergency situations.
Independent Flight Termination System
An integrated Flight Termination System independently stops the aircraft motors before parachute deployment for safer recovery.
Multiple Deployment Options
The parachute can activate automatically through onboard safety monitoring or manually through DJI Pilot 2 and FlightHub 2.
Continuous Flight Monitoring
Dedicated sensors continuously monitor aircraft attitude, motor performance, power status, and other critical flight information throughout the mission.
Built for Professional Operations
Supports enterprise drone missions requiring additional safety systems for regulated commercial operations.
Rugged Outdoor Design
The IP55-rated enclosure allows operation in rain, dust, and challenging outdoor environments.
Simple Installation
The lightweight module installs quickly on the DJI Matrice 400 using a plug-and-play mounting system.
Audible and Visual Alerts
After deployment, built-in warning indicators help alert nearby personnel until the system is reset.
Built-in Audio and Visual Alerts
Following parachute deployment, the module activates bright flashing lights and loud audible alarms for up to one hour. These alerts help keep nearby people away from the landing area while making it easier for operators to locate and recover the drone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DJI AP100 work with drones other than the Matrice 400?
No. The AP100 is specifically designed for the DJI Matrice 400 platform.
When does the parachute deploy automatically?
It activates when the system detects serious flight abnormalities such as unstable attitude, abnormal motor behavior, or critical system failures.
Can the parachute be deployed manually?
Yes. Operators can deploy it using DJI Pilot 2 or through FlightHub 2.
Why does the Flight Termination System stop the motors first?
Stopping the motors helps prevent the propellers from damaging or tangling the parachute during deployment.
Can the AP100 help with regulatory compliance?
AAAIt is designed to support operators working toward EASA C5/C6 and UK5/UK6 operational requirements when used according to local aviation regulations.
What is the minimum recommended deployment altitude?
The system is designed to operate effectively from approximately 30 meters above ground.
