Is it not a felony to shoot down, toss a net over, throw stones at or otherwise disable a sUAS that is in flight? Doesn't the FAA go after those perps? I also understood it is also a felony to harass / attack a drone operator (pilot) while he/she is flying a drone. I'll bet if this was...

Good point, thanks. I wasn't thinkin'

Thank you, I never considered that. But... Issue seems to have been solved by MS Coast when he mentioned distance could be limited if I'm not logged into my DJI account (and I wasn't at the time). Logging in is what gave me my range back..... not any updated that were available.

Yes, it was the Mavic 3 Classic. Issue seems to have been solved by MS Coast when he mentioned distance could be limited if I'm not logged into my DJI account (and I wasn't at the time). Logging in is what gave me my range back..... not any updated that were available. BTW... the firmware I...

That's probably it. I remember when I went to check for updates, wi-fi could not be found and I had to hunt down my connection and reconnect. Coincidentally, updates were available at those times and I was blaming my issue on 'available updates' instead of no wi-fi connection causing distance...

I was going to request no comments about the obvious BVLOS, but I thought Nahhhhh, no one will mention that. Thank you office Fields. (Smiley face goes here) Point taken.

This is the 3rd time this has happened this past year. Launching from my regular spot (top floor of 4 story parking structure) at home where I have gone thousands of feet distance countless times, I now can only go 400 feet away before I loose connection with drone. No matter which direction I...

To MotoSavy... thank you for helping to make it clear for others about recreational requirements. It seems to be a never ending topic. Pilot Institute does explain it the best. Good luck on your exam tomorrow. If you took the Pilot Institute course I will bet you pass! Greg is a great...

I have been flying Mavic 3 Classic with the DJI RC controller with the built in screen for about 15 months and I too have been getting that screen popping up for no apparent reason. Very annoying. I have done several updates since I bought it (new) but it still has that issue. At first I...

Good advise.

We are sorry to hear of your accident. Especially your Care Refresh plan expiring. It could easily happen to any one of us.... especially clumsy me. At 71 I'm starting to become all thumbs. Maybe DJI will show some mercy. Best wishes for a pleasant outcome.

With dozens of night flights under my belt, I found your post to be a great list of important points to practice. At times I find myself being a little more cavalier than I ought to be, and that is a dangerous attitude to let creep in ESPECIALLY with night flights. Thank you for these...

I never get tired of viewing your beautiful country! Thank you for this!

Yes, you can get your Part 107 certificate even though you are not planning to use it for commercial use. I got my certificate just so I don't have to jump thru all the hoops required to fly as a 'recreational' pilot.
