How do I get the Android FreeFlight 6 App?

You want your ANAFI series drone up in the air as soon as possible, so do we. Refer to your Super Quick Start Guide (SQSG) if you need illustrated guidance to get these quick prerequisites out of the way.

 

1. Wake up your smart battery.

Charge the battery using a USB-A to USB-C cable and a power source. The battery’s LEDs start flashing: it is awake. Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying your ANAFI series drone.

 

2. Download FreeFlight 6 on your Android device: your ANAFI series drone requires FreeFlight 6 to fly.

The app will enable you to update your Parrot Skycontroller 3 and your ANAFI series drone when you power them on for the first time.

When you have downloaded and installed FreeFlight 6, unfold the central arm of Parrot Skycontroller 3 to power it on.

 

Use your device’s USB cable to connect it to Parrot Skycontroller 3 USB-A port, and install it on the device holder, as shown in the SQSG.

 

A prompt appears on your screen, which invites you to allow the communication between your device and the controller.

 

Tap “OK”: FreeFlight 6 runs. After your device displays the app’s splash screen, you get to FreeFlight 6 homepage.

 

If the prompt does not appear on your screen when you connect your Android device to your Parrot Skycontroller 3, launch FreeFlight 6 manually, as any other app.
