Vlos is not only about distance, it is also about obsructions, I found this article interesting: https://www.unmannedairspace.info/latest-news-and-information/bridge-inspections-become-easier-in-north-carolina-following-faa-bvlos-waiver/

If any of you has a better data source for incident/accident tracking, please inform.

Hello Chip I just used this as an example, but creating a checklist that makes sense and is easy to fill out, helps me fly safe. In Brazil all (comercially flown) drones are to be insured. This is not for the drone itself but for damages to third parties. So the checklist is to assure that the...

What "Dropshot" wants to know, is actually what is obligatory in Brazil. When we are authorized to fly we must fill in a pre-flight checklist, which must show a matrix of frequency of happening and severity when it happens. Its is similar to what planes have to do before they take off. I based...

Beautiful

The best ways are: Fly twice, first scouting, than official flight. Go up and make 360 degrees move with your drone, is less accurate for far away objects, but is extremely fast. Use Google earth, this is less accurate as it is not updated daily, so you can have new obstacles which were not...

My 2 cents worth, if you build a new drone (Mavic 3) you will not stuff it with current available cameras and RTK. All f this is getting smaller and less expensive. Remember that DJI bought Hasselblad for lenses it is my belief, that we will have more powerful (thus smaller batteries), lighter...

I personally like litchi a lot, its social platform is very nice where you can see the flightplan of others (if they choose to publish of course). Also I like map pilot for surveys at it allows the height of the drone to be related to the surface and not to the home point. I think that the...

Please all, remember that your flight logs will indicate that you have flown over 120 meters, insurance companies may deny coverage of the drone if you have an accident. The best way is to go to the top first, establish the home point there and fo down the hill and fly a negative hight

Can't you use evlos or extended vlos, where partners equipped with radio follow the flight. see picture.

is there any other software that can control the height automatically?
