When the Canadian Part IX rules came out in 2019 I did an analysis of the Canadian sRPAS 922 Safety Standards that looked at what speed a Mavic or similar drone became LETHAL. It resulted in some interesting ideas. Like, unless you are racing around at top speed all the time these flying cameras...

Thanks for that. I guess what it really comes down to is most systems internal clock speed and instruction cycle are multiples of the human feedback . . like collision avoidance. Do you know anything about Streaming Hybrid Architecture Vector Engine v2.0 (SHAVE v2.0) chips and if DJI uses them...

I'm preparing a course on Airmanship for Drone operators who haven't had the benefit of growing up around aviation and other pilots so they can take their careers to the next level. This knowledge of the flight controller performance has to do with understanding the precision and susceptibility...

Anyone know how often the compasses or IMU (3 dimensional data) is sampled or used by the Flight Controller software during flight. Is it the same as the data sample rate of all the "all parameter file" recordings or does the flight control software actually use it faster than the whole...

Hi AnzacJack . . totally agree and thanks for responding . . you sound like my alter ego on the other side of the planet. I'm retired RCAF in Canada . . . similar to your 50 yrs, I got my Private in 1967 and my first intro to drones was 1977 when I was on the Aerospace Systems Course and we...

Thanks Robert, got to agree with your assessment and note that within your discussion is the essential component of my observations or “thesis” you might say. General aviation, commercial pilots and their military cousins, as well as regulators and controllers have been surprised by the rapid...

I think it comes down to how secure are you in your own capabilities compared to the person your talking to. Some "pilots" get offended while others consider who they are talking to. A truly professional and competent aviator PIC Pilot or airman will consider their level of airmanship as an...

Sound good …share a link? Assume that’s $USD?

Thanks for the tips… I have an aftermarket spot, pretty bright with ON/OFF sw & adjustable power …(but only on the ground) not very handy the M2E spot had perfect inflight functionality except no pan tilt (that’s minor issue but the brightness and controller interface is what I want/need… the...

The broad answer is anyone who “takes to the skies” (moves in 3rd dimension) is an aviator of sorts..so technically including not just powered aircraft but gliders, rockets flying suits parachute, no parachute ( it’s been done) controlling planes helos etc… with or without beings on board, kites...

So which spotlight? (I want to use anM2E spot.) . Or is it a 3rd party light?have you got a screenshot of the interface or the hardware installed ? Thanks

😂😂😂great point 👍😎

That's a good point of distinction. Transport Canada calls it "sRPAS Certificate" (small Remotely Piloted Air System Certificate) trying to be totally universal, with basic and advanced levels of competency . . but still implying the are certifying "Pilots" without saying so. I think a lot of...

And why do they call a trial script on an new TV show a "Pilot Program"?
