    A couple interesting topics from @Pilotinstitute

    It’s never been clear to me what data the PPC is thought to able to obtain from DJI drones. Are all the videos captured by DJI drones being uploaded to PLA intelligence and run through an algorithm that spits out footage of military installations and critical infrastructure? Seems far fetched...

    Bradenton Beach Drone, FL - Please Proofread My Letter To City Council

    You are correct! The state of Florida has indeed preempted local governments from regulating drones.

    Bradenton Beach Drone, FL - Please Proofread My Letter To City Council

    I agree with what you’re trying to do here but I also agree with the comments suggesting that you leave out the threats and rhetoric about the will of the people, etc. I also think you’ve left out your most effective legal argument, namely that the Florida Legislature has preempted regulation...

    Any advice, something to fix is welcome

    Thank you for the very detailed information! You’re correct that I would use my Mini 2 to shoot video and not just to fly. I’ll have to think carefully about whether I want to go through the registration and testing process, which seems more complicated than here in the United States. In...

    Any advice, something to fix is welcome

    Stunningly beautifu! I can’t suggest any improvements! I do have a question if you don’t mind. My wife and I have gone to Spain every year from 2014 through 2019. It’s our favorite travel destination. Obviously, Covid put a stop to that for the time being. When we finally get to go back I was...

    Hypothetical question: BVLOS, WiFi, and OcuSync

    I had a Mavic Mini and it frequently lost the video connection to the RC, sometimes when it was only a few feet away. It happened so often that I thought it was defective and returned it to DJI for a replacement but that didn’t really help. I upgraded to a DJI MinI 2 in February and haven‘t had...

    Law Question: Can a City Commission arbitrarily make rules regulating Drones without FAA approval?

    Do you have any updates on this? I’m headed down to Marco in July and wondering if I should bring my Mini 2.

    Law Question: Can a City Commission arbitrarily make rules regulating Drones without FAA approval?

    The State of Florida has pre-empted the power to regulate unmanned aircraft systems to itself. See section 320.41, Florida Statutes. (2020). http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0300-0399/0330/Sections/0330.41.html Subsection (3)(b) of...
