People from all over are posting videos online. However this hysteria started in the NJ area. Most people in the rest of the country aren't really out there looking (yet) but there are videos from other parts of the country and even the world. People are reporting it from NYC. For some reason it...

I find the whole situation rather interesting and bizarre. I agree with others here that I have yet to see a single video or photo that shows dozens of drones. Showing a single or few lights in the sky in some of the busiest airspace in the nation doesn't really prove them to be drones...

Eyewitness reports are incredibly inaccurate. Most people can't accurately communicate what they saw or said 5 minutes ago.

I have a unique situation here that this thread doesn't really cover but I don't necessarily want to start a new thread. Not sure if anyone else is in this situation. I am a Canadian citizen living in the USA (also have US Citizenship). I will be traveling to Canada and have researched the new...

I recall a few years ago I was in the airspace of Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. I got LAANC Approval but the drone was restricted. I recall having to do something to unlock the geo lock on the drone. It wasn't a quick process.

Make sure you also update your FAA registration for the drone on DroneZone.

I beleive the Smart Controller runs v1.12.3 of the DJI Fly app. At least that is what mine upgraded to with my Air 2 when I did firmware updates last week for RID.

Okay. It looks like I was able to update the Fly app version and it now shows 1.16.3 and I now see a "Remote ID SN"

It looks like I have the same setup. Air 2 and Smart Controller. It seems my Fly App Version is 1.9.4 is out of date. It told me yesterday that a new app version was available and it would download, but I don't know if it ever installed. Where do you find the Remote ID info to register with the FAA?

I haven't used my Mavic Air 2 in quite a while but plan to take it on a trip next week so I pulled it out a couple weeks ago to see if there needed to be any updates made. I installed a couple of updates and then I packed it back up. Now that I am closer to the trip I wanted to make sure...

That checklist is just some generic checklist, not one of the ones that I have created within Aloft online.

Yeah, I can see the checklists I previously created in the online account but nothing in the app. I can even edit them through web browser. I also don't see any data on previously logged checklists or maintenance. I downloaded the quick reference guide and it doesn't provide any information...

I flew once in a DJI Geofenced Authorization Zone. I fly with the Smart Controller and the Mavic Air 2. IIRC, I was able to do a self unlock (blue zone) through the self unlock website. I then did have to connect my Smart Controller to Wifi. I also then had to turn on the drone and download the...

I was wondering the same thing. When I look at the whole area on B4UFly, the entire Hudson River from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and all the way north to Yonkers shows as restriction operations.

So let me get this straight. Recreational drones don't require a strobe but part 107 do? Does that make sense? Isn't a drone in the sky a drone in the sky, regardless of who is flying it?
