    Heliports

B4Ufly is useless for now, check ArcGIS Web Application LAANC is available july 23 for recreational...

    Mavic Air firmware 1.00.0560 released

    I am referring to the no fly zone database stored on the drone, when connected to dji assistant you will sometimes be asked to update that database and yes you will be prevented from taking off if the database is far out of date. I use the nolimitdrones app for my spark and not djigo4 so I dont...
