    Was your drone knocked off its flight by a helicopter?

    Exactly,, I've been reading the post and what's obvious, amongst all other things, there isn't enough people pointing that out : the drone pilot, even if with a rough view of the beach, should have fly away waaaayyy before the heli arrived (if one really did..) Why would anyone maintain a...

    Staten Islanders

    Hey, I'll be in NYC from Friday to Sunday, any idea for the best post in Staten Island, not so far from the ferry coming from south Manhattan? Assuming Brooklyn and New Yersey are no fly zone.

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Your videos are awesome, already giving me some hints about how I'd videotape some monuments [emoji6] Is it monuments valley in far background in first video around 1:36? Or this place is so full of these gigantic rocks structure that they all look the same?!

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Thanks for the clarification, especially those about English idioms!! Always good to know hmm I found out recently that avenza maps app (do you know that?) is quite powerful to know and download geoloczlized (free) maps "approved/issued" by blm, giving you a way to assess suitability of each...

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Yes indeed, we'll get the annual pass as we're about to visit at least 8 of them.. I'm sure I won't be frustrated not flying in NPs as the road trip will be large enough [emoji1][emoji1] Any particular hints about this plan : 1-nyc 2-philly 3-dc For this three first ones I honestly think it...

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Very complete answer thanks a lot, you also anticipated what I was going to ask : what about area under BLM [emoji3] We're going to have such a crazy trip that I have no worries if have to wait some more to get granted for flight in the "good" spot to avoid troubles.. NPs won't be avoided if...

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Thanks to the both of you, I have to admit you covered completely all interrogations I had!! Section 336 to be filled in, basically just a registration of the drone and owner in fact, great!! No commercial purposes yet, only have led than 10 hours of flight!

    Heading soon to US!!!

    lifting off from inside NPs is no-go, this is already clear by the way, I was thinking more about the real possibility of flying close to starting from outside, considering the purpose of my eventual flights would not be to fly beyond vlos so just wondering if there's really some spots where it...

    Heading soon to US!!!

    Arriving soon on east coast, but returning from west coast, I began to ask myself about the possibility customs eventually keep my MP at first arrival. Besides the fact nbr of batteries is limited (one in drone plus 2 correct ?) and it's charge level must be lowered, and kept with you in hand...

    Flying in Copenhagen, and generally in Denmark [emoji1087]

    Ok maybe I've read too fast : "The built-up areas include all areas that are used for living, for leisure or for commercial purposes. As examples of inhabited areas, the Danish aviation authority cites sports halls, camping sites, harbors and industrial facilities. Also, parks, beaches and...

    Flying in Copenhagen, and generally in Denmark [emoji1087]

    Thanks for the link, it's clear for what concern registration, although about hobbyist fly I can't understand if it's OK in built-up areas (cities basically), or not?..

    Has anybody ever flown in a national park?

    Well, I'm not sure if lasting effects are identified so far, but I would say that in case of wild animals, they would at least have some past experience with it if another guy later does the same.. Maybe they won't be scared the same way, or wondering so much what is it.. Maybe they will just...

    Has anybody ever flown in a national park?

    Hi, From my past experience in South Africa, AND having been approved for flight by the owner of a private gamereserve, I can attest that : - wild animals become completely mad about it, sadly.. As the common reply to something they do not know, I disagree with you, they will change behavior...

    Flying in Copenhagen, and generally in Denmark [emoji1087]

    Hi everyone, After looking at some old posts in the forum, it became clearer but there are still some open points I'd like to clarify with you if possible First, I understood we need to fill a formal request online, is it still true? +label with reference number on the drone, seems legitimate...

    had my first confrontation today....

    I thought it was "where we're going, we don't need roads"?
