    Any way to apply for a permit/waiver to fly in a National Park?

    Many of the State Parks in Utah allow Drone Flying, but only in the winter months, during the “off” season, from November through February. Requires a $10 permit that can be downloaded from the Parks Website, or gotten at the Ranger Station. Check the webpage for details. This includes Dead...

    Seagull kills £30,000 surveillance drone.

    One has to be careful not to harm a Seagull where I live. The California Gull is our State Bird and are quite beloved. It’s a severe penalty to kill or harm one. Droners be forewarned. I kid you not! Heck, we even build Monuments to them. “Seagull Monument,” Temple Square, Salt Lake City...

    USA - Registration numbers to be required on exterior of aircraft soon (Feb. 23)

    It does need to be on the exterior and any size and style your little heart deserves as long as it’s legible.

    Can you imagine being required to have metal ID tags readable from the ground. I think that this was one of the early recommendations when they were coming up with the original regulations.

    DJI Sparks available on Ebay $199.00

    Same old story. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

    Part 107 required?

    I’m with you. It’s ALL about compensation. I’ve got a private sel rating and a commercial glider rating. If I take someone up in a small plane I can let them do what ever I want. I can let them take the controls. Fly the plane. Even take off and and land if I want. I’m the Pilot in Command...

    What do do if you see a helicopter?

    Not necessarily. If you’re operating at 400 ft, and he’s at 200 ft, it probably best to just move away from his path of flight. Just put ‘er in Sport Mode and Firewall that Ball.

    What do do if you see a helicopter?

    Most helicopters have a top speed of about 100 mph. Looks like he was pushing Vmax on that one. If one is flying in an area where it’s common to encounter low flying aircraft, you may consider employing a “Spotter” to keep an eye out for unexpected visitors.

    Do you guys fly with the gimbal cover?

    The Gimbal Overload Messages are an indicator that the Gimbal Lock is working properly. Because the Gimbal Lock is transparent, it’s sometimes difficult to determine if it’s really in place. For this reason I’ve attached a Yellow Ribbon so the I can determine with a quick glance if properly in...
