    Turnaround Time for DroneZone Altitude Authorization Requests?

    I put in a similar LAANC request for a 0-foot grid while I was in San Diego for a house in the Middletown area a few months ago. The request went into limbo. It was for a family event, not commercial, but I was using my Pt 107 certification. When it stayed in review status for two days, I...

    Does the DJI Mavic Air 2 Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?

    Our MA2 drones uses the same antenna that it uses to connect between the controller and the drone. Don't overthink it. You have to have an Internet connection to use the smart controller and the delivered controller. I was a bit confused about it until I dug into it further. Here is a link to...

    Where to Sell My Mini 2?

    eBay is where I sold my Mavic 2 Enterprise drone setup about sixteen months ago. The posting, bidding, sale and tranfer of my drone and money in my bank account went without a hitch.

    How do i connect to any of the LAANC APPS

    I know this message is weeks old and hope some one reached out to you with some help. You can use the Fly Safe app with the authorization information to unlock the GeoZone that is giving you the message.

    Airmap - done, gone, outta' here!

    I will certainly miss it. Air Control does not send a text confirmation of a manual flight authorization request within 24 hours like AirMap did. For some peculiar reason, an approved authorization that I received for a manual request in a zero grid area in San Diego, does not show up in the Air...

    Part 107 Temporary Certificate Timeline

    @Jafo28 So now I know. My SUAS Cert number appeared today in IACRA and in the Airman search result. It may have come a bit quicker for those of us already present in the FAA Airman Registry. The time frame from test result to certificate number was 43 days.

    Part 107 Temporary Certificate Timeline

    @projectarjun The Temporary certificate is good for 120 days. You can put the word Pending in place of the certificate number when you request authorizations through LAANC. It has been reported to work and updating after the cert number comes as not an issue. I am also still waiting for my cert...

    How to register a replacement drone

    @Greatsign1 I suggest cancelling the registration of the returned Mavic Air 2 and then registering the 2s. If it is still registered to you and sold to someone else, there is a possibility that if they commit an FAA violation away from or inside a FRIA, it could be attributed to you, as the...

    Darpa Develops New Drone Interceptor, Watch it take down a Phantom Drone

    If you check at the FAA website for TFR's, you will find that there are some recent TFR's put in effect for UAS operations regarding federal/civil/ state/ first responders/federal/civil and state properties and even for the US ADIZ. The fines imposed for violations are pretty stiff...

    Mavic Pro Platinum Remote controller

    Thanks for replying and for the timely information. "From the thread title I imagine it’s the M1P and MPP controller the OP is referring to." That is what I was referring to. I meant to say Mavic Pro and Mavic Pro Platinum.

    Mavic Pro Platinum Remote controller

    I could use some advice. Can someone tell me if the remote controllers for the Mavic and Mavic Pro series are the same unit?

    Part 107 Test: new material is on the test!

    I passed the test today with a 90%. The test took me 28 minutes to complete. Whicks1 description of the new questions is accurate. There were indeed more than a few strangely worded questions. I may have seen only a few questions that came directly from the study material.
