Actually, it's about 3 miles for the average male (5'7"). A little farther the taller you are, nearer the shorter.
Well there is that. I admit to being a heretic.
What would you do when the behaviour of others affect your enjoyment or even your business. For example, because of others, now all DJI owners have to follow the rules of DJI GEO system and the extra budden of FAA regulations, these extras have impact the commercial operators and casual flyers. So if we don't speak up when you see some unsafe behaviour, more restrictions and regulations will pass on to EVERYONE.
I like this post. I really don't care what any of you do, but when it affects me and other innocent people , I will take notice and respond.
It's easy when you're behind a keyboard to tell someone you think they are wrong, not so easy in person. One thing I've noticed very recently is people don't post so many distance or dubious flight data on facebook or the forums anymore
Now why is that? Maybe because they know what they do is wrong. I dont hide behind keyboards. I have no problem telling anyone to their face what I think. Test me if you will.It's easy when you're don'tt indbehind keyboard to tell someone you think they are wrong, not so easy in person.

Don't take that the wrong way, I'm not insulting you in anyway, do what you want. Personally I wouldn't confront anyone for anything, if I felt it was really bad I'd call the cops, it's not my job. Example would be a drunk driver, I'd call 911. There maybe some exceptions but at 53 year old and CCW I've never run across a situation where I've confronted anyone.
All the rules are geared toward preventing you from flying where you can't be seen by manned aircraft. FAA can't differentiate among which drones that have or don't have lights.
