    Current wait time for airspace authorization

    Thanks for the info. Guess I’ll see what comes first-the approval or the LAANC?

    Current wait time for airspace authorization

    I haven't put in for an airspace authorization for over 6 months. Does anyone have an idea of the current wait time to get one processed? Not sure if the details matter, but is for airspace at the very edge of a Class C airport where the UAS grid has a ceiling of 400 feet. A few hundred feet to...

    Crashed P3P - help

    After almost one year of flying my P3P, I crashed it today. I was flying at my church using Litchi FPV and Course Lock, and got it behind the steeple (about 75 ft AGL) and had brief loss of sight and control - it was fairly close, but had been keeping space between it and the steeple...

    Combined 107.29 and 107.41 waiver/authorization

    Has anyone attempted to get a waiver for daylight operations (night flying) in controlled airspace, say, Class D? Or a 107.29 waiver and 107.41 authorization? Were you successful and how did you do it? I have a potential client later on this year for night flying, but is also in Class D...

    Backpack to travel on plane or hardcase?

    I traveled twice this summer with my P3P. It was good to have the hard case, a Pelican im2600. A couple legs had small planes and were full, so I checked it. Other legs were wide body planes and I carried it on. Everything was fine in the flights where it was checked. It fit fine in the overhead...

    Would you like the DJI Go app to have distance in Feet and Miles?

    I've been wanting to see the vertical speed in feet per second (or minute). Displaying vertical speed in miles per hour when the distance up or down is only hundreds of feet is kind of meaningless in my opinion (could show m/s for the metric folks).

    Pelican iM2600 case and travel

    I recently got an iM2600 case from Amazon (US Hobby). It was a bit more than I wanted to spend ($219), but it has worked very well for my first trip with my P3P. I checked it for the first part of my trip, and took it as carry on for return trip. I flew on Delta. On the outbound trip where it...

    Hello from upstate SC

    I got my P3P about a month ago and have about 35 flights so far. I've flown RC airplanes for decades and a Blade 400 a few years ago. I've never felt comfortable with the Blade 400, though am hoping to get it flying again. The Phantom has been amazing. It's been great to fly and am working on...

    How many people went straight to DJI instead of smaller drones first?

    I am new to quadcopter after flying radio control airplanes for over 30 years on and off. I recently got a Blade Zeyrok for my son to play with (and me too). It has no GPS, but is relatively stable in 2 of its 3 modes. I have been checking into Phantom Pilots to learn more for a few months, as...
