    A few questions from a beginner

    Here is another question that came up as soon as I registered by drone yesterday with the FAA. In the confirmation email they sent me, and on the certificate, I have printed out, they state: To fly under the exception for recreational flyers you must: Register your drone Fly only for...

    A few questions from a beginner

    Well, let me say it again, it's ridiculous to me. To fly under the trees, in my backyard? I don't see why I should ask permission for that. They should put down more defined rules, with good sense. Otherwise, people are just going to ignore them. But I agree with you about the LAANC. Hopefully...

    A few questions from a beginner

    Thank you guys for your replies and for welcoming me here. Yes, I plan flying under hobbyist rules. Ok, so, please correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the B4UFly app is old, so I can disregard it. That's actually the only map which gave me the heliport limitation, even...

    A few questions from a beginner

    Hello everyone, I just got my Mavic 2 Pro after many years of waiting, but as always, despite I made my research for the past year or so about FAA regulations and such, it is only when you get the drone in your hands that more questions arise for which you have a hard time to find an answer for...
