    Drone Scanner App

    After reading all these comments, the app seems to be kind of useless for those of us with iOS devices. Am I wrong?

    Drone Scanner App

    Has anyone ever used the “Drone Scanner” app? I’ve tried numerous times and it never shows any drones in the air. Even when my Air 2S, which I know is RID compliant, is in the air. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better app out there?

    2024 Desert Storm Boat Races at Lake Havasu

    You’re right about all that except the name and event has nothing to do with the war or vets.

    Aloft Air Aware

    Just received this email from [email protected]. It appears to be a replacement for “B4UFLY”. Can anyone who has used it tell me anything about it? Before flying, I always go to https://faa.maps.arcgis.com to check for altitude limitations. Does this replace that? Is it used to get LAANC...

    Single app/point of contact for Seeking Approval to Fly Drones

    So, why isn’t there an app explaining all this or giving every one who wants to fly a drone a place to go to (like B4UFLY) so they can determine whether it’s safe to fly? Do you really think that Rec pilots know about this web page that you referenced? So, are you saying that this web page that...

    Single app/point of contact for Seeking Approval to Fly Drones

    According to the legend in the sectional charts (picture provided), it is also an MOA. It is also within a dotted magenta line which would, in light of the fact that there is a comment over that section that says, “See NOTAMs/Supplement for Class D/E (sfc) eff hours” which one might think that...

    Single app/point of contact for Seeking Approval to Fly Drones

    I would like to ask a question to the group. Why is there no single source where a UAS pilot can input their flight parameters and get immediate feedback of whether or not it’s permissible to fly, and if not permissible, immediately send you to a form where you can apply for an FAA waiver? I...

    UK Drone pilot gets $1,900 fine

    I am a member of the Air 2S Facebook page. People are constantly posting videos of flights that you pretty much know are in violation of FAA rules. When you post a comment about what idiots they are, you wouldn’t believe how many retaliatory statements are made towards your post. If you post...

    Those living in and around fire zones were also told to stop using drones to capture the scene.

    It never ceases to amaze me that there are idiots who think flying a drone in ANY wildfire situation, whether planes are in the air or not. These are the types of people who have made the FAA clamp down on the rest of us with all the recent rules and regs. Unbelievable!

    Autonomous flight app for Air 2S

    I use Litchi just fine for waypoints on my Air 2S. Yes, I have to send it up first with my controller and then start its routine. When someone says it’s not autonomous, if that’s what they mean, then fine. But it works well for me. You can save the program and run it time after time on the same...
