But I'm confused? If the manned aircraft is violating FAA regs, and the drone pilot is at fault regardless, what is the point of having any regulations? That seems like saying if someone is robbing a bank, and is injured in the process, the robber is going to win the law suit for those injuries...

Ahhhhh...that's what I remember from ground school! Given this, however, "what if" the drone pilot was flying @or< 400AGL and a manned aircraft were to violate the 500AGL and they collided with both craft crashing. What might be the expected outcome/findings re: the incident? Based on other...

Do you know if wind is included in these calculations as well? I notice from flight logs that wind velocity and direction appear to be continuously monitored which is why I'm inquiring!

I've reviewed some previous entries here re launching/landing from boats. I feel my plan is much much simpler than than those I've read about. What I would like to do is maneuver my boat to a point off shore (but very close to shore) and anchor it. I then wanted to take off from the boat, fly...

Hi Jeff, I wrote you a length response to your post re? VLOS but exceeded the number of characters allowed. So, I'll just say I agree with your responses. Too bad I couldn't send you my full response.......

The image you show above is what I'm seeing save the circled "check mark" and the "download-delete" options? My images can be "high lighted" in blue, as are yours, but I do not have the options of downloading or deleting them? I didn't realize my request would result in such responses! None of...

It would appear that on one of my last flights, I erroneously hit the vid/photo button that switched me from vid to photo, and in this process, I also hit the "take photo" button. I noticed that I have 2 unwanted photos in my flight log. In Air data, I could view them and in the "media" option...

HPP, thank you for you advice as well! After my flights, I came home and downloaded my SD card to an external HD and deleted the SD card. I then, later in the day, went into Airdata and couldn't find anything. Next time, right after my flights, I'll open AD to see if my flight files will then...

SLUP, thank you so much for your direction. I found my data per your instructions, and manually uploaded them to airdata. I am ecstatic that those files were not lost!!! I also double checked all of my settings and it "appeares" that everything is "now" set to sync? I very well may have NOT had...

i have a Mavic air 2 drone. I purchased it back in 2020. I flew it then, and again in 2021. My flight data was xfered to airdata without incident at those times. I hadn't been able to fly it since then, but did so just the other day. After multiple flights that day, I accessed airdata, only to...

The young man in the first video is clearly of high intelligence. There are some things I wonder about, however. Says he's in college.....he never specified what he was/is studying, but if it is engineering, he need to request a refund! Also, having been a college student, where/how does a...

I seem to recall this coming up a bit ago, and one fellow offered the advice of using an "umbrella hat"! They come in varying diameters, I chose the 3' model. It has a silicone headband and there are supports that keep the umbrella portion a few inches above your head. I found that my problem...

Not sure where they were flying, but, the southern US is populated with Africanized honey bees which are notoriously aggressive. Once they are triggered, they attack en mass, often killing the subject irritating them, such as horses, dogs, etc. and sometimes humans.

I just purchased a smaller version of this to wear when fishing! Sometimes, there is no wind, and at the altitude I live, the sun destroys everything, and can be unbearable. I thought the extra ventilation would also be beneficial. I never thought about using it as you have, but I'm certainly...

Thanks Ardjoen, I suspected there had to be the option for more battery skins as most of us have more than one battery, and some, not sayin who, have way too many!!!
