I think it's an interesting concept. However, I think you should provide "mission " box before purchase. Infered, over people, commercial vs recreational. If part 107 and in controlled airspace, you will need ATC clearance (LAANC). Just a thought.

Looks like no go to me. Heavy military. Just go to aloft, and look at map. Then check local law, you might have to be part 107, the way they wrote some of laws by gulf shores.

Most people never practice in ATTI mode or no GPS mode. They last about 90 seconds prior to crash. Back in the day, GPS runaway was common and if you didn't switch to ATTI, the aircraft was gone. I don't think that's what's happening here, but you made the right moves to get it back safely. Also...

Nice job getting it back in one piece!

I have a lot of situations where people don't understand the law and do stiupid things( I had my mavic 3 shot ). At the end of the day, some people would prefer to " square off" then to be open to learn something new. One way to pre-empt this is I call to the local enforcement authority ( PD...

The camera quality on the m3pro is amazing. The one feature I wish they DJI would have made available is an SDK with access to way points for third party developers. As a result, you can't create automated paths and fly in apps like Litchi. The new way point function DJI added is a start, but no...

My opinion, is that recreatiinal Droner's will eventually be pushed into Fria's. Just like the RC plane folks. However, getting your part 107, will allow you more freedom to fly where you want. Its just my opinion. I also think with the lack of ability to enforce laws at local level, it might...

All the laws on the books are great, but until there is precedent set in courts, will people follow them. For instance, shooting a drone is the same as shooting at a 747 since a UAS is classified as an aircraft. If you review the cases that have gone to court on this, you will see, so far its...

Loudthunder, I feel your pain. In AL I live in some havey military airspace. Check out airspace. As initially commented and you eliquently confirmed. You need ATC clearance before conducting UAS operations in controlled airspace. Calling ATC, or getting LAANC approval are all forms ATC...

If you have $60.00, sign up for Gleim remote pilot test prep. It includes real testing that duplicates the real experience. It will identify knowledge areas of weakness and where to locate the information to overcome the knowledge weakness. Once you are getting 95% go sit for the test without...

Clarification: Flying legally in controlled airspace. The Pilot "operator" not PIC does not have to have to have any license as long as PIC can comply with 107.12 part 2 No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace, or within the lateral boundaries of...

It is not illegal to fly in controlled airspace with ATC clearance under part 107. LAANC gives you this clearance. 249grams allows you to fly under recreational exemption with out registration. How ever if you are going to work that furtherance business, you will need to fly under part 107 and...

Jbrownfire, I'm assuming you're part 107 as you are doing inspection to furtherance business. If you haven't been using LAANC, give it a try. It works best in controlled airspace. It will give you instant authorization from FAA and will let the DJI drone fly. You may have an altitude...

I set up an aviation program late 2017 for a high-school in Chicago for aviation. The curriculum was based on students getting educated to pass the FAA knowledge exam. I also included flight training as option. The same can be applied to Drone training with final exam grade being based on...

GPS is a great tool, but we have been teaching people to fly without it since 2015. Back in the day if you started to have a GPS runaway situation ( where the drone picked up stray signal, which confused GPS) we moved to ATTI mode or non -GPS mode to recover. Unfortunately, most pilots depend on...
