What "B4UFLY" app are you using? Because the actual B4UFLY app doesn't work anymore. It was disabled quite a while ago.

As someone who works closely with DJI folks here in the U.S., I can promise you they have not left the US market "unprotected and in disarray". They are working very hard to get CBP to cease stopping shipments. DJI has answered every question and concern CBP has raised, and all they get back is...

So much wrong with this bill. Michigan drone owners need to organize and fight this.

The only time you're not allowed to fly from National Forest Lands is when they are "Designated Wilderness Areas". There are also times when TFRs are in place, or an area may be close due to nesting seasons. Other than that, it's legal. Just because something is "Federal", doesn't mean it's...

Sorry, I've been swamped lately. There are still some background discussions taking place. Nothing concrete has been accomplished. There is still time, but at this point, it's more likely we can get an extension than an actual audit. But an audit still isn't out of the question. I do have a...

Comment, please. We've seen many changes to final rules from NPRMs in the past. Both for Part 107, as well as OOP and RID. We saw a number of changes in those directly from the comments.

It's 180 pages of triple column 10 pt text. There is no way to actually craft bullet points. Its too varied.

I was just told "technical difficulties". Not sure when it will be back online, but we have plenty of time to get our comments in.

Here is my take on the FAA's BVLOS NPRM. It's imperative that every drone owner in the U.S., whether commercial or recreational, submit clean, articulate, and professional comments before October 6th. The RID NPRM had over 53,000 comments. We should blow that number out of the water. There are...

Which one?

And built what? There isn't a single U.S. drone manufacturer that is interested in the prosumer market. Nor at any interested in the recreational market. No, we don't have the interest by any manufacturers, or the ability to produce even if we did.

Worse case scenario, and Congress doesn't come to their senses and cooler heads don't prevail, there won't be any firmware issues. The only real issue with what you're wanting to do (I know many who have brought their drones in from other countries) is that you won't have any U.S. based...

Yep, which is less than 1% of all BVLOS flights.

I'll have my summary of the NPRM out as soon as possible. I have to make sure my clients are taken care of first. I hope to have a video and article out this weekend.

The NPRM throws 99% of all drone pilots under the bus. People like me who currently have BVLOS waivers (mine is for 2SM) will be left out of the game entirely. It takes no account of how I and others utilize our waivers and just disregards our 100% safety record of flights taken under our...
