Put your phone into airplane mode before connecting to the mavic. Without internet the app isn't aware of any newer version.

Thanks so much! Copy/pasted from that doc "people other than the operator may not be used in lieu of the operator for maintaining visual line of sight." "To ensure that the operator has the best view of the aircraft, the statutory requirement would preclude the use of vision-enhancing devices...

Do you have a source? Not saying that you are wrong. Just trying to find where this is outlined.

With a spotter using binoculars I can get about 3400-4000' before you can no longer see the drone. Obviously 7800' was outside line of sight which is a requirement to fly.

I stopped at scenic view of the Grand Canyon on the Navajo reservation and asked if I could fly my drone. I was told it was against the rules but said he didn't care. It was mid day light and I didn't center the gimbal so the horizon is off.
