So, I wasn't even aware of light Flight courses, I guess I look on the FAA website and see if they have a flight course under their wings program thing. I can't see anything on why they denied it, It just says denied, I'm not seeing anything about needing more information or anything...

I just ask because I had the same equipment as another person who had a successful nighttime waiver and basically copied it word for word. What made them get an approval and me a denial? It was the exact same scenario equipment, and everything...

Probably DJI I don't think the goverment would open your mail to stick stuff in it. Probably sent a bunch of these for DJI to stick in their boxes shipping to Canada. It's in DJI's best interest to have people not do stupid stuff resulting in more laws and reducing drone sales.

y'all need Airmaps on your phones and not the B4UFly app.

If you're rich or want to show off how rich you are maybe?

Reporter flying the drone? or was it coverage of the event from the event? I didn't hear anything about it being a reporter or the news flying the drone, where are you getting this information from?

I believe it means that the stupid laws the FAA protect hobbyists from, such as "no flying within 5 miles of a school (95% of my state)" and "you may not fly above anyone's property without written consent (the last 5% of the state)" can now be legally imposed.

So i feel like if the FAA has no control over the hobbyist, the hobbyists are now screwed... My state has been trying to pass laws like, "no flying within 5 miles of a school. (there goes any place to fly in like 95% of the state)" and "You can't fly over anyone's property. (there goes the last...

Ah, makes since I guess. AirMap usually shows that in red for me and grey is temp flight restrictions.

I don't think you are understanding, I never said hobbyists don't have to call airports, I do not know where you got that information from as i never said that in any post. (other than saying part 107 flights do not have to call) But when I fly 107 (I am licensed), I do not have to call any...

I would still consider it a trade off. In my hometown, I don't have to call anyone to fly, where hobbyist have to call the 20 or so airports/helipads that are all in class g airspace. However when I'm in Houston, there's a few more places I can't fly (25% of the city is Class B airspace), but...

Sorry, lol it's really Airmap, I don't know why I add the S to it. But you can customize it how you want the maps to show, what airspace or heliports. Kittyhawk is powered by Airmap but has different options.

Its a really popular app, If you fly you should download it. On my phone i have the apps, Kittyhawk, Hover, Advisory and irmap. all for maps, windspeed, weather, NOTAMs ect. How to Submit a Digital Flight Notice to Airports - AirMap

airmaps has a digital notice that a lot of airports accept. Id go that route.

I like how a lot of people are complaining about the licesnse, its a requirement because people were doing stupid stuff and now you have to have a licesnse. Deal with it, its not going away. sure the weather stuff isn't too important, until you have to drive 300 miles and fly, and need to know...
