    Australian registration system

    Don’t worry, CASA receives it’s revenue from aircraft fuel excise, so they will be flush with $$$$$ to get the registration system and processes in place. In my public submission to CASA, I made it clear the registration cost per platform for commercial operators should not be as high as they...

    Phantom 4 long range 8.3 KM or 5.18 miles

    I seriously doubt you could go 8k and return to the takeoff point. Your best bet would be to stay below 50m to reduce the effect of wind gusts experienced at higher altitudes. Of course if there is no wind this would definitely help. Good luck.

    Phantom 4 long range 8.3 KM or 5.18 miles

    So you travelled 8.3k one way and 6.2 on the return, a total of 14.5k. Yet if you had of traveled 7.5k each way you would have exceeded your total journey and the drone would have returned to you without having to retrieve it from a field. Don’t know if you could term this result as a sound...

    It’s a shame you don’t have an iPhone or iPad to take advantage of some really good apps that can assist your ops.

    Do you need to register seperately for each of the other forums?

    I think you mean Yes, they all work separately. Thanks.

    Do you need to register seperately for each of the other forums?

    I just registered using the default Phantom Pilots forum, but would prefer having main access to the Commercial Pilots Forum. Hence is a second registration required or is there some way of having two or more links to the different forums using the one sign in?

    Hello from Brisbane

    Most definitely, although Wyaralong Dam would also be good. I forgot to mention my P4Pro+ is the Obsidian edition with the Delux kit. Weather conditions have not been favourable over the past few days.
