I think this is a GREAT idea!

Hmm interesting, AirMap is spot on in my area. Maybe there was an ADS-B issue, or the helo didn’t have ADS-B.

Look into AIRMAP. It connects to the DJI remote and will display aircraft as well as other drones in your area. It also is a great LAANC portal!

I think I, along with several other people on this thread told you to expect one of the three consequences the FAA has told you to expect. I hope you, and others, have learned from this.

Being registered has some benefits too. Guy here in my city was flying over his back yard and his neighbor thought he was taking pictures of his daughter sunbathing. So said guy went and got his shotgun and blew it out of the sky. Then he called the police. Police came asked questions and...

I did. I had to send it back to DJI. Core board replacement under warranty.

That 2nd video really shows it well! Thanks!

Looking into getting a set of filters for my Mavic Platinum, and wanted to pick brains. What are your thoughts on polarizing filters. I’ve read they have to be set according to sun angle but then as you fly, that angle changes and then they aren’t effective. Thoughts?

So no where in LAANC documents were my home airports getting it in the last wave. So I filed authorizations. Well today they were denied cause of LAANC. Turns out several airports that weren’t on the list got LAANC yesterday. So if you weren’t expecting it, check you may get a surprise!

Had this happen. Sent to DJI, core board replacement.

Okay ‘Tex’. First off, no such thing as Class F airspace. Check the FAA diagram regarding airspace. Second, is a side by side comparison of OP’s posted flight path and the Airmap image of the airport. His home point, signified by the H, was almost as close to the runway as he could get...

There are ways to do what you did, most likely the parade wasn’t an impromptu event, you could have filed for waivers and they would have NOTAMed your presence, as well as use another runway.

Okay texasgrape you have no clue what you are talking about. I am a Part 121 ATP, as well as a Part 107 UAS holder, along with a Part 61 CFI. I assure you the term airport manager and ATC are not interchangeable. Nor did I say the OP was lying. I simply asked so folks that want more info could...

Okay lets do this, OP, who did you call? What phone number. I’m curious as to what “ATC” you spoke with at a non-towered airport..

Sorry but you may be hosed. Thats going to fall under reckless and careless operation. You shouldn’t be in the direct flight path of any aircraft. They were most likely expecting you to be down 211 away from flight paths.
