On FlightRadar24 you see the barometric altitude but you don’t know what pressure setting they have.

It is no coincidence that the minimum height a general aviation airplane is supposed to fly over your house is 500’, giving a theoretical buffer of 100’ between you and it if you are at 400’. But you can get a good idea of their height from an app like flight radar. That will show you their...

This is great Vic, well done. I would like to exercise the process of obtaining a waiver and am very keen to see your templates. -James, kjcimaging.com

I don’t think it’s a viable idea because you would need to legislate a Special Use Airspace zone over your property from 400’ up to whatever maximum altitude / Flight Level you’re thinking of. I don’t think you’d get this through red tape.

I like the way the FAA frames its rules, because they understand that they can’t and shouldn’t prescribe narrow or over-specific limitations which could never account for all situations. Instead they decide their goals and compose regulations to facilitate those goals. Consider the intent of...

Here’s a suggestion, this is how one-eyed people manage to get depth perception, and it can improve depth perception for anyone: move your head left and right to generate parallax between your drone and its background. You’ll get a much better idea where it is in relation to its surroundings.

The blind spot in the eye has no rods or cones, it’s where the nerves pass through the eye to the brain. The fovea in the center of the eye where we focus our vision is mostly cones, giving high definition and color vision. The rest of the eye is mostly rods, giving motion detection and low...

I notify all my flights on that app and it's the absolute surest way to get the LVMPD Air Support Helicopter to show up. I'm convinced they see the notification and head straight there to test their newly-installed Remote ID interrogators.

Flying is a broad and deep subject and the FAA have had to balance the complexity of the subject material with the practicalities of persuading people to study the material. I see all the material as relevant, but I have the benefit of an entire career in aviation behind me. Rest assured you’re...

fyi it has to be on the outside, not in the battery compartment.
