This makes sense. I was flying in a canyon environment, where the GPS signal was weak. I'll try turning off the visual sensors to gain more height.

I am a pilot with a 107 license. Yesterday I was flying an assignment in Center City Philadelphia. This is in an area of the city that is not part of LANCC. At some points the height of my Phantom 4 Pro was limited to 30 feet. Other times it was allowed to go to 98 feet. It was very arbitrary...

I am a commercial photographer with a 107 license. I have a project where I need to do drone photography at a location just inside the northern section of Newark Airport Class B airspace. I am looking to hire someone who has the proper authorization for Newark Liberty Class B Airspace, so that...

I am looking to take photographs from a drone of the wall between the US and Mexico. I am likely going to fly in the El Paso area. Does anyone know if there are special rules when flying a drone near the border with Mexico? Do I need to notify Border Patrol? Does anyone have experience doing this?

Here's more on the content of the 107 recurrent. Many questions on sectionals and airspace. No METAR questions.

I took the 107 recurrent today and had the good fortune to only miss one question—98%. There were 2 questions similar to this question. What is the most important component of CRM? A) An SMS B) Coordinating operations and resources C) Weekly meetings I do not have perfect recall, so the...

Thanks for the advice. I deleted the DJI Go 4 app from the iPad and then reinstalled it from the App Store.This has the effect of clearing extraneous data that is in the app, kind of like clearing the cache. When I re-installed the app I had to login to DJI and re-set several preferences in...

I am flying a Phantom 4 Pro using an iPad mini 4 with cellular service. I have the most recent version of the DJI Go 4 app (4.2.14) on my iPad, and the iPad is updated to the most recent version of iOS. The last 2 sessions I have flown, I have had the app lock up and the camera view freeze...

I did some research and here are the settings to use: Set the Li battery setting to LiHV V. Type 3.8V On a specific charger channel set it to LiHV Charge, 5.4A, 15.2V(4s). I can now charge four Phantom 4 batteries at the same time. Very useful after returning from a day with multiple flights...

I recently bought the following charger to be able to charge four Phantom 4 batteries at once. Venom Quad Charger Venom makes a charger just for the Phantom 4, but I had trouble with each battery connecting. I exchanged it for the generic charger. My question is, does anyone have advice on...

I just looked at the flight record on Airdata, of my later flight over a field at a college, the maximum Minor Signal Errors per 30 seconds was 8. The average per 30 seconds was 4 vs. an average of 30 Minor Signal Errors per 30 seconds with the flight where video transmission was an issue.

I was flying my Phantom 4 Pro to test out video settings recently. I decided to fly over a large parking area by an office complex and fly in a circle using the Point of Interest intelligent flying mode. I use an Apple iPad mini 2 (Retina/2nd Gen, Wi-Fi/Cellular) with 32GB storage running DJI...

Thanks for the link to the pdf manual. This post summarizes the process form the manual. HOW TO: Install Phantom 4 firmware

I just got my Phantom 4 Pro--a forced upgrade after my Phantom 3 crashed due to a battery issue. Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to update firmware on quadcopter and controller. When I start up the DJI Go app and the Phantom, the screen calls for a firmware update. Also, they show...
