Just purchased my first drone, passed the RPAS Advanced and now will work on learning to fly the dam thing before scheding a review, hopefully within a few weeks. Looking forward to learning from this forum too!

Welcome to the forum and good luck on the review. Make sure you understand the city bylaws where you are flying. It’s one thing to know the federal rules but the city rules may keep you grounded. I’m in Calgary and unless you get a special permit, you can’t fly the MA2 in the city. Thank goodness I have a mini as well which I can fly in the city parks.
Cheers!

Just a heads up..I don't think you can legally fly on Vancouver island according to Transport Canada map. Drone site selection tool - National Research Council Canada

Welcome and man you got some awesome vista's to drone up there.

Lots of helpful info here, so gleen what you can and go fly the drone within reason as a newbie. Also get DJI's flight simulator to practice your skills while not actually in the air. May save you in the long run.

Make sure to post some of those awesome vista's you have for all to see.

Welcome to the forum aye. I love Vancouver island. Spent time back in the 90's. Friendly cove., Kyuquot and Winter Harbour. Wonderful places to be. Lots of drone possibilities. Look forward to some of you videos.

Hi PB, welcome to the wealth of knowledge, what breed did you purchase from??

upon further review, I was wrong sorry...no fly zone is off the west coast of the island. The map is a good tool anyway. Have fun.

What a stunning place to live. Do us flatlanders a favor and post your material often.

Thanks, I’m trying not to go too fast as there is so much to learn and seemingly, so little time!

a former flat lander I found lots of beautiful material flying there and never had to worry too much about not having a spot to land should something go wrong!

Welcome to the forum!

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic Air 2:

• The current Mavic Air 2 manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic Air 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic Air 2 manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic Air 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Appreciated!
