    Too nervous to fly

    Nothing prohibits night flights under recreational flight rules, however the CBO you are choosing to fly under may have additional recommendations/requirements.

    "No motorized vehicles" ordinances

    This is all good stuff, thank you for the posts. I definitely feel like the spirit of most of those signs is to prevent cars/motorcycles, but the language is probably just too wide open for a number of scenarios (great point about motorized wheelchairs and scooters). It seems like once the drone...

    "No motorized vehicles" ordinances

    I'm finding a lot of parks and fields in my local cities often have ordinances or signs prohibiting motorized vehicles.

    Flying in Portsmouth?

    I just got my first drone, and I was scouting around for some spots to do some recreational flying (TRUST tested/registered). I've seen drones around Portsmouth, NH all the time, so I was surprised to see that Pease (KPSM) is a non-LAANC facility, and the 5 mile radius pretty much covers all of...
