New Drone User Info

I just got the Mavic Pro and I want to fly it indoors and the park with my son. Im not not even going to pass 80 feet. There either an airport, helipad time machine all over the **** place. I get on the DJI GO app caution in orange not the red one. Says are you permitted to fly and if you hit yes I can fly.

My question is this. Does the FAA know your flying and track you down and the park or its basically if someone sees you they can report you? Kinda stupid i cant fly a drone inside my house because i get the caution no fly zone.

Also do I need to register my drone here? https://drone-registration.net
Is it mandatory?

Thanks for the help in advanced.

sUAS Registration
register your drone here for US based users

 

[harmonix234]

indoor you are fine
if you go outside your are legally obligated to let the control towers know your are going to fly and for how ling etc.
max height is 400ft.

also within the DJI account page you can create unlock zones to fly in the area that allow you to bypass the DNF zones.

 

[harmonix234]

Anyone can report you- legally you cannot fly over people or within personal property etc...
if you fly at a park be careful as you typically need the parks or an officers permission if **** get fishy.. (least here in Chicago)

what do you mean unlock zones? Does that mean to alow the mavic to fly in a restricted airspace? isnt that illegal? I heard that the mavic will not turn on if you are in a restricted red color airspace. So if mine turns on does that mean its not really in a location where its restricted?

Regarding indoor flying in the no fly zones, I think flying inside of your own house is kosher... LOL

But for outside flying, are you inside of one of these zones?

1. have you read the manual?
2. flying in restricted airspace is not illegal. you just need proper authorization from the control towers etc. the unlock aspect of the dji account page will allow you to fly the drone(DJI assumes you are aware of the risks of breaking any laws etc) so you can fly but know the risks. I live one mile from an airport exactly so i have to request an unlock which lasts for 3 days.

Assuming you dont have the 107 cert
you can fly as a hobby flier while observing the laws.

follow the regulations and you can fly where you please with proper permission.
takes me ten min to get the proper ok's.
hell sometimes the control tower will tell you not to call unless you are flying above 400 feet.

call the tower to verify as they need to know.

Flying indoors before you are a competent pilot is not a good idea....those propellors can do a lot of damage! -(Particularly to human flesh!).

you now have a cert for three years that applies that registration number to any drone you purchase.
