Flying over 400ft Altitude with my P3S? o.O

[Daniel r]

Agreed

You most likely have the beginner mode turned on.

I could only go 200 feet in beginner mode. My altitude maxes at 400' and I haven't done anything in the settings except RTH altitude

Really though........who needs or wants to go over 400' unless it is to stroke their ego."F'n" stupid!We are playing with toys here folks that capture incredible video.Do not be an asshat and ruin our hobby.

Thinking of it as a Toy could in fact ruin your hobby! Just sayin

The FAA rules are very clear. The FAA also added in the clause "No careless or reckless operations." Trust me the FAA does not play. As a part 61 pilot and builder of an experimental aircraft the FAA has rules to keep separation. Keep breaking the rules and first will come the fines, then come the rule changes. When that happens we will all lose our hobby. Read up on Bob Hoover about a FAA actions about Safe operation. Remember they get to define that not you in court.


"Maximum altitude of 400 feet above ground level (AGL) or, ifhigher than 400 feet AGL, remain within 400 feet of astructure."

"No careless or reckless operations."

My P3s is definitely limited to 120m. (400ft). That is the height that the CAA in the U.K. Restrict you to.

I was out flying over a castle by the sea and wanted to see if it would let me go higher only by a couple of metres for curiosity and it didn't.

Quite impressed that the software allows you to remain within the regulations.
