A couple of things: 1) Instrument pilots of manned aircraft sometimes use what's known as a "circling approach" to an airport. In those cases the manned craft will not approach from the usual and customary locations. The first approach will be 90 degrees from the end of a runway and they will...

I used to be "That Guy" that everyone looked to for technical info. Seems like a lifetime ago. I'm 57 now and accustomed to having the basics explained to me before digging deeper into YouTube videos, Google and the like. Not even opposed to reading a users manual. Nowadays though I struggle...

I'm with QuadcopterCrazy on this one... I had a similar experience with Litchi and have been warning people ever since. (Several rants on multiple forums) Litchi has great potential but with several potentially dangerous downsides. I'll address just this one: When switching from screen to...

I will be traveling domestically in the US soon with my Phantom 4 and two spare batteries. I have a Case brand Wheeled hard case. I have read conflicting information both from Delta Airlines and the TSA outlining how one may travel with batteries. One of the problems is that I am aware of the...

Forward OA uses visual light cameras. In other words you need a minimum amount of light. If there's not enough light for the cameras to see, the OA will not work. In which case you should get a warning on your monitor that says essentially "forward obstacle avoidance blocked or not working"...
