Maybe not UAS, but how about 'security' risks which is supposedly what this whole thing is about?

Going to be a LOT of disappointed and/or angry folks on Christmas Day when they unwrap that new DJI drone. Does that FCC policy also apply to the action cams like the Osmo series and other company's action cams like GoPro?? And what about devices like SIRI and Alexa, and 'smart TVs? All made...

OK, here's what happened..... I logged out, then logged back in, and again, as soon as I would enter the first number the INVALID NUMBER message would appear and stay there UNTIL ALL 20 CHARACTERS WERE INPUT!!! I was then able to validate my aircraft's RID#. Why would they set that up that...

Will log out and log back in to see if it will reconsider accepting my serial #.

Tried that. There is a 20 character # for the drone and flight controller;(same #) and 14 character #s for the camera, battery, and RC (each different). The entry field on the FAAs site for this # keeps saying "INVALID NUMBER" when I input the first 16 characters of the drone's serial #. I've...

Attempted to register my new Air3S (sourced from a Japanese retailer) on the FAA website as a recreational operat, but could not find it's RID serial #. The field for this information would not accept the aircraft's or RC2's serial #. -- kept saying it was invalid. No #s on the aircraft or...

Thanx Dale. I worked as an ER RN for 32 years AFTER a short stint in Entomology. Both BSs from Penn State.

Thanx MS Coast......just reviewed most of this course.

Thanx everyone. I've been reading some of the threads here on RTH 'anomalies', and am getting more apprehensive about my first flights. My home's location is rather wooded except for my 50' x 50' garden area, but even that has some mature (80-100 ft. high) oak and Norway spruce just outside the...

Thanx LoudThunder for the tips. I think I already mentioned that I had obtained my TRUST certificate. I also have watched every pertinent article/video on DJI's website, as well as numerous you tube videos. No ambition at present for 107 status, but ya never know.

I found Glacier to be stunning and refreshingly Undeveloped unlike Yellowstone or Yosemite.

I'd rather trust the Grinch with my Christmas presents than stats issued by a major (Blue) US city police department - e.g. look what the DC PD had been doing.

Thanx for everyone's welcomes. I still haven't been able to actually fly mostly due to weather. I also have been putting-off registering this craft with the FAA - I'm thinking of MAYBE buying a Mavic 4 PRO and selling the Air3S.......thought I did enough 'homework' before this purchase, but...

After lusting for a more-than-average camera drone for at least 7 years, the approach of the December 23rd 'Date of Reckoning' for DJI influenced me enough to order an Air3S Fly More Combo. I ordered it from a Japanese-based seller and had it delivered by FedEx in 7 days. Brand new, and sealed...
