# How to Fix Betaflight ARMING_DISABLED Flags: A Step-by-Step Guide
One of the most common issues FPV pilots face is the dreaded `ARMING_DISABLED` flag in Betaflight. This guide will walk you through the common causes and how to resolve them so you can get back in the air.
## Common ARMING_DISABLED Flags and Their Meanings
Betaflight provides status codes to tell you exactly why it’s not arming. You can see these flags in your OSD or in the Betaflight Configurator’s Setup tab.
| Flag | Common Cause | Solution |
|—————|——————————————–|————————————————————————-|
| `NO_GYRO` | Gyroscope sensor is not detected. | Check flight controller for damage. Could be a faulty board. |
| `RX_FAILSAFE` | Radio receiver is not bound or connected. | Ensure your receiver is bound to your transmitter and has power. |
| `CALIBRATING` | The drone is still running its startup calibration. | Wait a few seconds after plugging in the battery. |
| `THROTTLE` | Throttle is too high when trying to arm. | Lower your throttle stick to the minimum position. |
| `ARM_SWITCH` | The arm switch is in the armed position. | Flick the arm switch to the disarmed position before arming. |
| `CLI` | The flight controller is in CLI mode. | Type `exit` in the CLI and press Enter. |
