Hey Folks
New drone flyer here. I have a background in aviation (both actual flight and rc aircraft). I just purchased a mini a couple weeks back and I have a couple of basic questions concerning US airspace.
1. What are the basic legal limitations of the mini concerning basic airspace outside of populated areas and away from airports. Basically, am I still Legally limited to under 400 feet in all areas if my mini is unregistered? And does that change if I get my 107 cert?
2. I work in an area that is just inside regulated airspace by a large airport. My mini won’t even take off. How would I go about unlocking it to be able to fly around my workplace under 100 feet? Do I just need to register something with DJI or do I need to get 107 for that?
3. If I do get 107, will my flights in open airspace be monitored or reported?
I just want to enjoy my mavic responsibly and safely.
Thanks for any and all answers
