Be mindful of people flying kites. chances are slim, but obstacle avoidance sensors will not pick up a kite string.

I've only seen this when my RC2/fly app wasn't signed in. Not sure if that was the case for you.

I did my recurrent online, FAAST site, after taking the test there is a certificate of completion that you can print along with a wallet sized one to show you are current. Not sure if that helps you.

This is the one I have, it lets you leave the sticks attached...

Mine will not, Air2, I now have an Air3. The only reason I know this is because a TFR that was not supposed to be active, as far as the FAA website, and ForeFlight said. I use ForeFlight for work as a helicopter pilot. I believe this was an issue with a couple of changes to the start and end...

Happens just about every other weekend in my area. He comes home to Wilmington DE, and it's TFR time all weekend.

Or maybe a flying club. I went commercial rotorcraft and just made a career out of it.

With the prices of rentals these days I don't blame on not keeping current.

I did mine all online, then print the certificate and bring to a CFI. Activities, Courses, Seminars & Webinars - Course Overview - FAA - FAASTeam - FAASafety.govHere's the link for the course, you have to have a current BFR though. Doing it this way, it was pretty much drone specific. I'm a...

Kind of surprising. I always think of the larger media outlets having a much easier time with this sort of thing. Thanks for sharing the video.

I noticed a few drone shots from the NLCS as well. They were outside of the ball park just about the level of the lights. They were at the Phillies game, which besides being in the sporting event TFR, it's also in a zero grid of the PHL class Bravo. Guess they can get waivers pretty easily.

As far as the background wave noise, I would just lower the level a bit and when flying past the pier maybe insert some cheers/screams from people on the rides. There are tons of YouTube videos about sound design. It really can make a video stand out.

Not sure if this should go here, or maybe it's own thread. I just noticed on B4UFly that it is now showing places like the Appalachian Trail as yellow, and check with NPS. It used to always be red and say restricted. Wondering if I missed something since I haven't been flying the drone for a few...

Robinson helicopters also have a separate section of operating regulations, commonly referred to as SFAR73. They are very sensitive to low G maneuvers and mast bumping. The main rotor blades striking the tail is something that I've heard has happened in the past. Losing that section of the tail...
