    Hobby drone pilots and flying around people?

    Thanks for the responses, guys! Even if there in nothing clearly written, it helps to see the mindset of pilots on the same boat. Certainly helps to frame one's thoughts/attitude going forward with each flight. Also nice to know that I am not missing anything posted somewhere despite my...

    Hobby drone pilots and flying around people?

    Thanks for the response - and I agree that using common sense is important. It's just sometimes what seems to be common sense is not so common, if you know what I mean.

    Hobby drone pilots and flying around people?

    Hi! I'm a hobby Mavic flier. I haven't done much flying partly because of lack of time - but also partly because of the difficulty in trying to find the right situation to make sure that I am compliant with all the rules I am reading. I understand that many of these regulations are directed...

    Anyone familiar with rules in Vienna?

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    Just got mine and I haven't had a lot of time with it yet. This is impressive. :) Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Anyone familiar with rules in Vienna?

    I was hoping that someone would have some experience flying in the area. Unfortunately, links to specifics are all in german and not a whole lot of detailed information can be found: Drone Laws in Austria | UAV Coach This link (below) explains the difference between class 1, 2 and 3 drones and...

    Anyone familiar with rules in Vienna?

    I have a trip coming up to Vienna, Austria from the US in a few weeks. Hopefully, my Mavic (fly more combo) will get here before then. Is anyone familiar with restrictions to drones and aerial photography in Vienna? Thanks!

    Hello, from Grand Rapids, MI. Still a newbie, though I've played with drones and heli's on and off the past few years. Looking to learn from these forums - and have tons of fun!
