    Lady threw a rock at my drone

    Just as rule of caution. I gotta agree with gnirts. It would help, calm down some of the tough guy talk here if we could see any footage you have. I use a Mavic Air, and if I’m below 100’agl, it’s quite loud. You know I’m in your area.

    Neighbor went crazy on me

    Just some preflight steps I always take. 1. check b4ufly 2. unlock my mavic air from the dji site 3. get flight clearance with kittyhawk app. (Or whichever app you use. Depending on the area of flight you may need at least 48 hours advance on your request if it's in restricted airspace.) 4...

    Class D Airspace 0 Ceiling

It's class C airspace here, and I'm down field from runway 6. I've gotten clearance up to 200 AGL. I had trouble with the app a few times, and had to contact...

    any landing you can walk away from, wait any landing you still have a working hull from is a good one! Welcome to the forum Patrick! Hope you get up flying again soon, I would be interesting to see the flight data.

    What do you use for LAANC clearance in CS?

    Hello this seem as good a thread as any to chime in on this subject. I’ve been trying to contact KittyHawk to see about pricing for a solo pilot enterprise account, wondering if they are having staffing issues because of the virus? The thing I’d like to know is how much is the cost of an...

    Just passed my Part 107 Exam Looking for entry level position in Northwest

    Wow! Those temps sound dangerous for lithium batteries, I understand why you limit yourself to flight during the golden hours! The light is better then in most case any way. I’ve flown some over this winter out the Columbia gorge toward Hood river. I have to say flying to cold weather also has...

    Just passed my Part 107 Exam Looking for entry level position in Northwest

    Thanks Thomas! I’ve been involve some here in the Northwest with AUVSI’s Cascade chapter I helped with the design, engineering and assembly of the Carangi Airship a few years ago.
