That's.... That's the CARs that I sent a link to, and Don hasn't uploaded any videos in the last month about maintenance. I don't generally play around with the AIM, because it says "The information in this publication is to be considered solely as a guide and should not be quoted as or...

I CBA to read all these answers, but this is my interpretation: Crew: ANYONE mentioned in flight log as crew. Make sure to list their role! Other Persons Involved in the Operation: Anyone that you have given a briefing to regarding the drone, and that is involved in the operation. this could...

Just a minor crack. I've deemed her airworthy and been flying with no effects on performance. I just want to see if you think that this was a mistake. It's just a minor crack to the navigation light housing (I've seen inside the indicator light housing, and I'm certain the crack cannot spread or...

Yeah, the math I did is as follows to figure out how long it takes the aircraft to hit the ground: it takes less than 5 seconds for the aircraft to fall from 400 feet AGL, assuming it falls straight down and does not reach terminal velocity. Here's a graph, so you can see how long you have...

Ask me that again in June/July and I might have an answer that you'll like lol

That forum is watched by possibly the least informed DJI staff member, lol. In August she mentioned that the aircraft was limited to 5 waypoints when the firmware had been released for it to support 45 waypoints. Last I checked, she was also completely unable to give a satisfactory answer to...

That's a great video, I'm surprised the aircraft could recover from freefall that quickly! Maybe once I expand my fleet I'll give it a try.

Can a mini be legally used for shooting footage of advertised events? I guess they're not really included in the CARs, but it just doesn't seem like a safe practice to me. I'd like to professionally shoot videos of public events, and that's the only reason I'm interested in a risk mitigation...

Hypothetically speaking, can you start the props using the CSC on the Mavic Air 2 while the aircraft is in freefall? does it "catch" itself and begin hovering? If we threw one out of a plane or terminated the drone's flight at altitude (by CSC), would the aircraft be able to save itself? I...

So, I have no idea where to find a safe parachute for the Mavic air 2, Indemnis and ParaZero both seem to be fine with ignoring this drone for the time being :(

I've found the ruling behind this if anyone's interested in attempting to modify their drone to meet this safety assurance standard. according to Standard 922 - RPAS Safety Assurance: Quoted from Here <-- visit that link for the rest of the standard, which includes flying near people and in...

Based on DJI's recommendations to keep it away from water, sand, dust, rain, snow, fog, and clouds, I'd say that it sadly does not have any dustproofness or waterproofness to speak of; however, I found this video of someone flying in pretty heavy rain. When it starts raining, I always land...

I'm an aerial photographer in Ontario. I fly a Mavic Air 2, and I talk too much about the Canadian aviation regulations. I'm happy to share any knowledge I collect along the way. Here's a shot of some Canada Geese for now -- just kidding, how large of a file can be uploaded? Apparently, 20.08...
