Australians - Taking my Mavic on a Qantas flight?

[mschwind200]

Hi,

I have read the Australian rules for brining Lipo batteries onto flights and I know I can do it.

But for those Australians out there or people who have been to Sydney Airport, did customs ever stop you or did you ever get asked to clear out your bag or something? I'm going away in 2 weeks and I just want everything to go smoothly.

Thanks

Depends on the day and the person on the desk. Sometimes it's a wave through other times you will get someone flexing their power.
End of the day you are permitted, so just make sure you check in with time for any hassals

I always print out the rules of the airlines and pack it with the drone. That way if I get stopped, I just show them exactly what's printed on their website.

I also put s sticker with the battery charging level:
(DISCHARGED - 18%) or something similar, never had issues.
