Does the Coverdrone policy include coverage for the theft of a drone? Like you, I fly a lot over an estuary on the east coast - so it increases my chances of losing my M2P altogether if it lands in the drink.

DJI Go 4 app has now been updated (version 4.3.37) and it does open on Android 11

Yes, I was accepted for another full year even though my last care refresh package expired in May. Actually it’s worked very well because I couldn’t fly anyway during the lockdown. My first flight since April will be next weekend, and I’m covered - so I’m very happy

I received an email invitation to renew my DJI Care Refresh for a further year. I had been in touch with DJI in May and was told that I couldn't renew care refresh in the UK/Europe - so I I just assumed it wasn't possible. However, I received an email invitation offering a further year of care...

I watched the programme and thought it was mostly entertainment dressed up as investigative reporting. Yes, it painted a fairly negative picture of drone usage but it was substantially aimed at the countermeasures against those people who might be seeking to weaponise or misuse the technology...

The windsurfer couldn't have been nicer and apologised for being rude - and we all laughed about it. I guess he could easily have thought I was just being annoying. Fair enough. There's no way he could have dragged himself and his sail/sailboard out of the water without help, the seawall is...

If ever there was an event that made me pleased I bought my Mavic 2 Pro it was this. I was flying on Sunday next to an estuary in Essex (UK) and a couple of guys came up to me to ask if I had seen a windsurfer in trouble on the water. They were from a local sailing club and they had lost sight...

It's debatable whether the apology will surface much outside of the drone community itself. I wish I could believe this could be a win but he was playing to the public perception (and the perception of those MP's on the select committee) that drone users cannot be trusted - when in reality...

Let's just remind ourselves of his exact words at the committee; We regard drone users in three categories; clueless, careless and criminal It was in response to a question about standardisation of airspace rules, it was not in response to a question about the misuse of drones and how...

This is the official NATS response, as posted on twitter today. The problem is that Science & Technology Committee will have taken away an impression that NATS characterises drone operators as a menace - for whatever reason. It pandered to the collective view that drones are a nuisance, have...

It has been reported that Andy Sage, Head of Unmanned Traffic Management at NATS has issued a public apology for his comments about drone users that he made at the parliamentary select committee hearing and reasserted NATS commitment to equitable airspace access for all responsible pilots. This...

I head out to the coast in Essex to fly. Plenty of great places near the coast and no-one seems to mind. Big cities are pretty much off the list for regular flyers.

Flying a drone anywhere in London is problematic. There seems to be very few designated areas set aside for the activity in Greater London. I was flying my little E58 in Wanstead today but even then Redbidge Council doesn't appear to allow any RC craft to take-off and fly from any park in the...

I'm also NW London.... although struggling to find suitable places for flying practise local to me. Where do you fly?

Yes, I've seen the restrictions - and quite a lot of the area is covered with restrictive airspace. However, there are some clear areas around the coast itself so I'm hoping it will still be possible to fly. I registered to receive NOTAMS for the highlands as low flying RAF jets on exercise are...
