    Drones shut down Dublin Airport

    Actually I was responding to your immature assumption that this was an unreliable report and you were dismissive of that. Also you failed to read the report correctly - the report stated that there had been 3 drone sightings at that time, not one (as you incorrectly stated in your first reply...

    Drones shut down Dublin Airport

    Perhaps check the facts before spouting nonsense. Detected by ‘airport systems’ was reported on the news, also2 confirmed sightings by aircrew. Seeing some other comments below, firstly of course they will shut down operations and divert aircraft temporarily, safety first. Although a small-ish...

    Drones shut down Dublin Airport

    Detected by airport security systems and sighted by staff. Maybe check your facts before making assumptions.

    Flying from back garden and now have Drone Police on my back

    Read the last but before you swear at me , but I think you broke all of the rules from that map! You overflew a residential zone (the housing estate, not just the corner house). You overflew 2 roads. You overflew a place where people are likely to gather ( graveyard) You flew BVLOS. You didn,t...

    Fly no longer supported on any iPad Minis!

    I bought a gen 6 iPad mini for the Mm and my M2Pro. Both fly and g4 work perfectly, no issues so far!

    Battery Safety.......??

    Sadly not true, lithium is oxygen-rich, it doesn’t need an external air supply. All you can do is cool the battery If it starts to overheat. A military grade ammo can is a pretty good storage but put enough battery packs together in there and there’s a possibility it will create a bomb! I think...

    Battery Safety.......??

    I am a Senior Engineer for a well known global product safety group. Within my expertise is the use of batteries in a wide range of equipment types including ITE, industrial, etc. lithium electrolyte batteries of any kind are potentially hazardous- the amount of energy stored in a relatively...

    Stolen DJI drones

    The thieves won’t care, they’ll sell them cheap on eBay or wherever and then disappear with the money. Unfortunately too many people are hooked in by a price that’s obviously too low.

    Help with finding Mavic Pro 2

    Unfortunate to say the least and I hope he gets the M2 back, but your son was flying in a prohibited area https://www.iaa.ie/docs/default-source/publications/aeronautical-notices/u---unmanned-aircraft/aeronautical-notice-u-04-direction-for-uas-geographical-zones-issue-18.pdf?sfvrsn=d57219f3_4...

    Top speed Mavic 3?

    It’s likely to be limited to less than 19 m/S (68.4 kmh) as this is the upper limit for a Class A2 drone under the EU regulations for CE marking from 2023 (and some other countries). Might have RID too (Remote ID) plus a low speed mode of 3 m/S. Wouldn’t be surprised if the props are modified to...

    My new Mavic is at the bottom of a lake!

    I’d vote for bird strike (I didn’t see any on the video but who knows?) or detached prop. Could have been a defect you couldn’t see. error GPS weak but 19-20 sat’s suggests a software or processor fault. cell deviation jumped to 0.137 at 5m 16.2s, voltage rose from 11.724 up to 11.891 at 5m...

    Scotty Kilmer: 5 Tools Stupid People Buy Including a Mavic

    After listening as far as the Mavic bit I felt like I’d walked 20 miles and then did a 4h workout in a gym! Does he EVER stop to take a breath?.

    Air 2 Nervous pilots , look away. Putting my mavic in harms way

    I think drove past you about when you were taking that footage at The Vee. I was heading to the Tipp side to take stills with the M2pro, ? We’re you in ATTI mode?

    battery

    Yes, but that’s a UN38 requirement for shipping, it’s to reduce the risk of fire and explosion during transit. Most lithium chemistry batteries similar such as our drone batteries have a built-in BMS and discharge the battery to the manufacturers specified long term ‘storage level’ for...
