    Flying from home while the drone is outside?

    Hi, we have windows and I can see what you’re getting at but if you check what I wrote, I was cautioning against the risks of flying without a clear visual line of sight which will probably occur under the circumstances unless the pilot lives in a house with 360 windows....like a lighthouse! As...

    Flying from home while the drone is outside?

    Hi, you give your location as EU and I’m fairly certain that EASA regs say you have to maintain visual line of sight (unless specially qualified). Given that, I think it’s like Garpaul says in his post, illegal to do it....don’t mean to sound like the “Drone Police” but I honestly don’t think...

    Cruise Conundrum - Take drone or leave drone home?

    I took mine on a Viking cruise from Sydney to Auckland last year, just before the COVID plague with absolutely no problems at all. The only restrictions were no take offs or landing on the ship. It was highlighted in Sydney when my carry on luggage was scanned but the security team were great...

    Which flys further... Smart control or Standard MA2 controler?

    Good point. Anything beyond Visual Line of Sight is illegal in most places.

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Thanks Mike. I’ve checked the date and time and they’re both ok so far. When the weather picks up (poss Thursday) I’ll recheck before I go out and again when I get back....fingers crossed. I checked the internal battery status and it shows fully charged and “Good”. Have a great Christmas, take...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi, thanks for getting back Mike. I came back from the outing and uploaded the logs to DJI. At that point I saw it had the right times but incorrect date. I went into the Crystalsky monitor settings and checked and found they were ok. I suppose it’s possible they were wrong when I went out and...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi Mike Sorry to bother you but I was just wondering if the .txt files you kindly offered to look at had uploaded ok? I fully appreciate you have other commitments, please don’t think I’m being impatient. I am more than happy to wait for you to have an opportune moment to have a look for me, I...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi, that sounds possible but having said that, it’s not happened before and China being ahead, time wise, of U.K. time wouldn’t it show a forward date ie 3rd Dec rather than a day behind ie 01 Dec? I’ve forwarded the logs to MSinger, who has kindly offered to have a look. Hopefully he’ll have an...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi Mike, thanks again. I THINK I've done it (No one will believe me!). Not sure which TXT was the best so I've copied all of them with the incorrect date. Take care Pete.

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi Mike, thanks for your expressing an interest in my query. Whilst I would love to share a log file, there will be a small delay as the files are stored on my iPad and I lack the technical expertise to download them. I hope to see my Son/Grandson in the next few days and I’m sure one will be...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi, yes and they all show me as flying on 1st Dec rather than the 2nd. I did 4 flights (one on each battery) and all 4 have the error. A little over the top perhaps, but I also backup the logs to Dronelogbook and Airdata, they both also show the error. To be fair, it’s never happened before and...

    DJI flight log details incorrect

    Hi I was out flying the other day with my M2P, came home and uploaded my flight logs to DJI. I noticed that the times of the flights were correct but the date was wrong, it showed me as flying the day before. I’ve checked my Crystalsky monitor system date and that is correct so I’m not sure...

    Are there any free ways to get something like AirData's Battery Health Analysis?

    Hi, thanks for that. Yes that is what I was trying to say, my apologies if my wording wasn’t clear. Take care. Peter
