    Navy Pier Chicago Illegal to Fly? I got assaulted there for not showing my ID to a security guard there.

    That's a policy not a law. B4UFLY is not restricting anything at the Pier. I would've packed and left. The security is going to push the wrong guy and get his.

    LAANC and dji Custom Unlock-wow!

    I fly pro platinum on dji4 go. But this phone should do all you want. Plenty of ram 12g plenty of space 512g. Easier than a tablet because you already have it with you, it's your phone.

    LAANC and dji Custom Unlock-wow!

    A lot of times I used another phone to get LAANC, if I'm using my phone to controller. Tablet to controller is different. I start the drone it's says give me the dam numbers or you're not flying, I apply on the separate phone and put the numbers on the drone phone. Now the galaxy z fold 3 multi...

    Drone Range

    VLOS is only 1500ft in the day with the small drones. Better range helps with getting signal, gps easier, such as, my mavic air compared to my pro platinum.

    No Drones Allowed - Can they say this?

    That's the reason most of the time. Don't disturb the birds. Although, let the all-terrain vehicles. A drone will fall out of the sky if a birds even touches the props. It's a lose lose.

    Odds of crashing for a newbie

    You'll probably crash under 100 ft. So stay 120-250.

    Restricted area with FAA - LAANC approval, but Mavic Air will not take off

    Have to put the authorization numbers to unlock. I use a different phone that has b4ufly, so I can type the numbers in. For me if I don't it's a Pain in the ***. Start the drone, request authorization then type the numbers you get from the other phone. This worked for my air and pro platinum...

    Air 2s Sunrise over the Statue of Liberty

    My question is did you have or need a permit on laanc?

    Flyovers - are they legal?

    What you say makes sense but if those rules aren't challenged then what are the limitations going to look like in the future. What next. The FAA controls the airspace. They won't take away many limitations they'll only add more.
