I think like a lot of people i have accidentally lost VLOS.. but rarely.. I keep eye on drone because I don't want to loose it.. I have been in 2 places where VLOS is not law and flew a Litchi missions that went out of sight but its not something I would deliberately do here in the UK.. most of...

Sorry had read it then went away then came back to answer.. should have reread before posting..

Theoretically if you were doing this would it not be safer to have drone pilot it the helicopter and drone launch from the ground? Reducing risk of damage to either.. I remember Mythbusters remote controlling a car from a helicopter so the transmission side must be ok..

I think is was said but if you fly a sub 500g Legacy drone, Mini 1/2 Air or parrot you can do it and "no intentional overflight of uninvolved people" along as no other restrictions apply.. there was a really good video on YouTube to explain it.. otherwise lots of involving people in the 50 m...

Yes there are times people do need to go out.. After work I will be taking my dog out too. But if it isn't essential like dog walking stay in..

I know many of you in UK are saying that you can go fly because it is quiet and you won't see anyone.. and probably from Covid you are safe, even though you are likely going against local rules.. BUT it is when you slip and break something I get concerned as ambulance services we are on our...

I like that.. very different to what we normally see.. ?

Hover is in your front room for a few hours.. lol

I expect you are right.. fortunately I have a MM1 and MA1 so both under 500g and can fly Legacy drones in A1 which gives some amazing freedoms for a couple of years..

My course provider gave me an example of a declaration and it could also be the same example that they give out for GVC that they also do.. mine was definitely A2 CofC.. does GVC not have a flight assessment?

I did my A2 CofC end of November and submitted a self declaration of approximate hours and what I had been flying.. and was asks roughly how many hours in last 3 month as part of the declaration

https://www.dronegenuity.com/international-drone-laws-requirements/ Thats some stuff I found on different countries.. You will need to do your online test and registration to fly in UK.. I just found it easier to register when I went overseas with my drone.. the fine for getting it wrong...
