Celebrated drone trailblazer PrecisionHawk files for bankruptcy

Too bad - thank you!

I have done quite a few jobs for them in 2023. Recently I have updated my part 107 license and uploaded it to my profile. The 48h 'pending approval' is a week ago, no response There contact e-mail is a precisionhawks e-mail which is dead. Would anyone know if they are still in business?

Looks like a coloscopy! ;-) Great Flying!

Actually I didn't try to get the update (while being in Germany). As I understand there is no way to retrieve it manually. It'll be offered you via the app or not. I don't really care since I have the A2 license. I was just curious after I found out a friend in Germany had a warranty replacement...

I bought my M3 Cine in the US in 2021. Recently I talked to DJI support in Germany and was told only early Mavic 3s bought in Europe (with CE sign) can receive the C1 update. I have figured that already since I never had the pop up in the App offering me the C1 update. These are the changes to...

I am German so I can give you this information: In Germany insurance is mandatory, even for recreational flying. Then you need to do an online test at the German equivalent to the FAA: LBA – OpenUAV Once passed you'll receive a UAS number which you have to put on your drone. All that effort is...
