    For US Pilots only… If you have a Part 107 Certification, do you need a TRUST Certificate to fly Recreationally?

    I would ask that you pass this information on to your 85 "operators", some may think that their Part 107 covers them when they are "off-duty" flying their personal drones recreationally.

    Newbie with easy questions

    I use three different Android devices with the DJI Fly App Version 1.17.4 (the latest and Greatest…) on all three. I use a Motorola Moto G Power (the Play 2024 also works…) and I absolutely agree that it is a misery to use such a small screen. But I also use two different Galaxy Tablets. The...

    For US Pilots only… If you have a Part 107 Certification, do you need a TRUST Certificate to fly Recreationally?

    If a drone under 250-grams and it is only flown recreationally, it is NOT required to be registered. Any drone that weighs 250-plus grams is required to be registered whether it is flown under 44809 or Part 107. If a pilot with both a TRUST and a Part 107 Certification has a drone that weighs...

    For US Pilots only… If you have a Part 107 Certification, do you need a TRUST Certificate to fly Recreationally?

    This subject has come up in the past but with the "Drone Drought," more of the members are acquiring their Part 107 Certification having never owned a drone and never had a reason to get the TRUST Certificate. So the question is if a pilot has a current Part 107 Certification, do they also need...

    You never know anymore...

    "The skies above one's property are open…" Right up to the point that the item (drone, kite, etc…) violates local law and ordnances (Nuance, violating privacy, depriving the owner of simple enjoyment, safety (kites near power lines). So many possibilities… I am surprised that Lucy does not...

    Notice to all Pilots that plan on buying a Used DJI Drone…

    I am curious, your User name has "Mavic" in it, don't you own a DJI Drone, didn't it not come with its own Serial number? You know, you could have called in its serial number and ask for the "owner's" email address yourself and it would have taken you less time that to write asking me this...

    Notice to all Pilots that plan on buying a Used DJI Drone…

    What question are you referring to? The one that I responded to was "Where does it show it's bound?" You would look in the Profile, Device Management, to see if it is bound to an account. Have you tried it? You never know until you ask... Once you do try it, you will no longer "believe that...

    Notice to all Pilots that plan on buying a Used DJI Drone…

    Unless something has changed since DJI implemented the new policy on not unbinding Bound Drones without an account, a DJI Drones that is not bound to an account are restricted to an altitude of 30-meters (about 100') and a distance of 50-meters (about 200').

    Notice to all Pilots that plan on buying a Used DJI Drone…

    Over the last 4-years, I have on two separate occasions gotten an App Update and afterwards had to log back into my account… Have you always done the App Updates when they came in or do you avoid them like the Plaque? L😂 L . . .

    Notice to all Pilots that plan on buying a Used DJI Drone…

    Turn on the Controller open the Fly App and turn on the drone, when both are connected, on the controller, tap the PROFILE, then Tap the DEVICE MANAGEMENT and it should look similar to this graphic… and the Bound To Box should not contain an Email Address. If it does, then only the holder of...
