Can you tell me the website where you found that?

The rules in the Philippines are pretty much the same as the US. I'm aware of most of them, but I never heard of the no night flight rule.

I checked on the internet, and there was nothing about flying over corregador being prohibited. I should of got in in writing from the tour company. Too late now, but it's a lesson.

We had this tour of corregador Island in Manila bay planned for a couple of weeks. I asked the travel agent if I could fly my drone there. She didn't know. I took my drone with me. After an hour, I asked the tour guide if I could fly my drone. He said no, that would cost several thousand pesos...

If you read what i said, I didn't break any rules. It was all about this proposed ordinance to need a permit. Read before you post!

Flew through some clouds in Banaue at 3,000 feet. I wanted to see if the clouds would affect the drone. All it did, is say low visibility, fly with caution. I actually think DJI should increase the maximum altitude you can fly, because you can get really nice video at higher altitudes. This...

I never heard that before. I've only made a couple of night flights.

Yes I did, but I didn't find that page. Maybe I checked before March 29th, when that came out. I did notice later, that it is a "proposed" regulation, but I didn't see that when they were showing me on their phones at the police station.

After rereading the Facebook page, it says this is only a proposed ordinance, and hasn't been voted into law yet. And it was only proposed on March 29th, less than two weeks ago. I could goto the police tomorrow, and argue with them, that it's not the law yet, but I don't think that...

I came to Baguio for only one full day. So i flew some this morning. I started to fly right outside a mall. A minute or so after i took off, a security guard at the mall told me I couldn't fly by there. So I moved away. I moved to right in front of the Police station! Police were 3 feet away...

What third party software are you using? I flew my mini 3 pro with dronelink and litchi beta yesterday. I'm pretty sure when you fly with those, it voids the warrenty.

Took van from Banaue to Baguio. 7 hours. The most scenic ride I've ever takin! If you drove it with a private car, and could stop, and fly your drone as much as you wanted, you could go through 100 batteries. Huge mountains, huge valleys, rivers with giant white rocks in them, pine trees. Just...

Leaving Banaue tomorrow. Going to Baguio tomorrow for two nights. Good drone flying place. Already got the airport unlocked. Flew with all three apps today. Fly, Dronelink and Litchi beta. All worked ok. Seems like mini pro 3 had no cruise control, and won't let you go up to 3,000 feet. Flew...

But I like making missions just lying in bed. I have a theory why didn't work. Maybe I had mini selected on fly instead of mavic 3 pro.

Flew up to 3,280 feet for the first time ever today. I'm more than 50 km from any airport. I would think decending would use a lot less battery. Will post video later. So when i first hooked every thing up, it said inconsistent firmware. I was 15 minutes from my hotel, and had no internet. I...
