    Drone operators in trouble with the law?

    Last year there was a story all over about a $182k fine to a philly guy (philly drone life). Can't find updates but he still does same stunts and regularly posts it online. I don't get it.

    Thank you! My son is a police officer and receives no education on drones other than from me. I will forward the documents for his department also...

    Page 2 goes into part 107, but for Law Enforcement don't the same rules apply if you're recreational? The FAA controls the sky 1" above grass blades, the Part 107 is of concern to the FAA and how you are flying, not law enforcement... Am I missing something?

    I don't wear a vest but I'm very open about it. If I'm in the lot, everyone can see me. People don't like drones without operators nearby is my opinion. In 4 years not a single issue, including with police which probably stopped by 10 times. My son is a police officer so after 30 seconds about...

    Flying In The Rain?

    I use the wetsuits from PhantomRain. I have been flying in rain/snow. No issues. None. I obviously avoid freezing rain or anytime temp is nearing freezing mark, not just at ground level.

    Disable auto land for flying over water?

    I grabbed once bc it would not land no matter what I tried and I didn't feel like waiting 20 min to autoland. Grabbed it with no problem except the fact that it suddenly fought like a bucking bronco. I have 3 lines 4 inches long that will never go away on my hand...

    Why does my Air2 stop after 100m and 30 m hight? Can anybody help?

    With my mavic air 2, at least 50% time at 98' in any direction it will say maximum distance reached. Perfect GPS lock. I have to land, log out and log back in the DJI account and then everything is fine. Extremely annoying.

    Masterairscrew red props for ma2

    I would be REAL careful not using OEM. This happened to me and another person in mid flight. Same props. Luckily it still landed but it was no fun getting it back...
