Good day all, new Mavic Air 2 hobbyist from the Chicago suburbs

[March411]

I picked up the Air 2 a couple weeks ago and left it in the box while I did some reading (mostly here) and watched videos. Took my first test flights this morning and brought the drone back safely both times.

I'd like to thank all the members here for their help in researching which drone to buy and for helping me learn what was important to prior to my test flights. Still have a ton to learn and mostly how to smooth out my flying but so far.....so good.

Hello from the Crossroads of America March411.

If you haven't done it yet, swing by the FAA and register.

FAADroneZone

faadronezone.faa.gov

And then take the TRUST test to have a copy with you when you fly.

FAA TRUST Online Portal for Recreational Drone Operators - Pilot Institute

Get your FAA TRUST Certificate of Completion to legally fly drones for recreational reasons in the United States.

trust.pilotinstitute.com

Good luck and welcome to the Forum.

Hey MA2 317, I already registered with the FAA right away and have my cert and still need to wrap up the Trust cert but it's going to happen.

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!

Appreciated all, it's a great place to learn and once I can move the MA2 around smoothly I hope to add some content.

MA2 317, I knocked out the TRUST test you suggested. Super simple with the link you provided..... thank you.
