Take a BIG clensing breath sports fans. A similar ban for DJI just isn't in the cards. I say this with some confidence based on 45 years as a news anchor/reporter, 25 of those years in Washington DC, Capitol Hill, etc. Some legislators I've spoken with believe TicTok is an existential threat to...

The OP mentioned the assets are from PrecisionHawk...isn't that Douglas Spotted Eagle's company?

Never. I'm a pilot...I fly. You should too.

MD...my old stompin grounds! (MoGoCo) Nice shot!

Commercial pilot. (Pt. 107) Construction, tower inspection, film, some RE, very little insurance work. (...they don't pay very well considering the scope of work and travel distance) I also teach new pilots for UAV Coach.

I never liked this feature either for all the reasons stated by the OP...basically a safety feature for newbies, but I've gotten used to it

As an overall observtion (..without flight log analysis) 30% battery is where I used to set my low battery warning level. Taking off and flying BVLOS with a low battery is just bad decision making...just sayin.

I always reccomend to my students that they avoid taking off from a concrete surface due to potential problems from rebar. Don't know if the pavement the OP described was this type

Hand catching with a low profile UAV??...no thanks, I’ll just poke a sharp stick in my eye.

Just nailed it, but didn’t realize they wanted 100% correct until just before I took the test.

As a drone flight instructor, I always insist that a pilot maintain VLOS while flying. Glance at your display occationally, but let the craft hover before you watch the screen for any lengthy period. Not doing this could result in another mishap. (...I think you know that now) You indicated the...

Thanks!

Could you post a link for the course and exam please?

No, they won’t pair with the DJI FPV goggles. Two ways to get around this...buy the DJI smart controller that will pair with it, or get the Litchi app beta and use it with a pair of cell phone FPV goggles.
