    Altitude limitations

    Hello, I just bought the new Mavic Pro platinum to complete a job for one of our corporate clients which is a global company of transportation. They need us to take a whole picture of a production plant, located in an area where no planes fly, where there is nothing around but this big complex...

    You think Canadas NEW RULES are a problem?

    If you think the edict from Transport Canada is a problem for recreational fliers . . read the small print in their Staff Instruction 623-001. . . Anyone who has an SFOC likely skimmed over that Note: but I am working on achieving "COMPLIANCE" . . so I have actually been reading it. Note...

There are a various of different versions of maps having different definitions of restriction areas in Savannah. Is there any "authoritative" map for a new pilot to understand the flying...

    No Justification for Night Flying Restriction

    The Night Flying Restriction has nothing to do with Safety. It's all about control and accountability. We should also condemn DJI for rolling over on all these nonsense rules and helping the FAA by the limitations they place within the software. We have all been found guilty before any crime has...

    P3 4K Range Restrictions (CE) - What's Best?

    Philadelphia, PA area flight restrictions

I live in Philadelphia and recently flew around the Art Museum and Boat House Row area right off of Kelly Dr. There's a parking lot right near the roundabout at the back of the Art Museum where I took off and landed. I got...

    DC Area no-fly zones. IAD radius shows as 7 miles?!?

    I have seen an official document on the FAA website that the total ban on UAV in a 30 mile radius of national airport has been lifted. However, the FAA's B4UFLY app has not been updated to reflect this fact. I live inside the 30 mile radius of National, but outside the 15 mile radius, so...

    are the NFZ maps accurate

    I am in Nelson BC and flew my Phantom 3Pro successfully in the school yard of a school. But today I was going to give a demonstration to a group of students and the phantom would not fly as it reported that I was in a NFZ. Checked the dji map of NFZ and there are none around Nelson BC. Whats...

    Responding to law enforcement

    Does anyone know if law enforcement on the local or state level are getting instructions on dealing with drone pilots? Aside from the negative stereotyping we see, which undoubtedly also changes how cops see drone pilots, what do we say when stopped? Looking at DJI's and FAA recommendations as...
