    Self-Unlocking zone for Mavic Mini

    You will have to elaborate on the intention of your question. Let's get on the same page first - which zone are you referring to? If you are referring to the Red Restriction zone, then no. If you refer to the Blue authorisation zone, yes in certain areas where I deem it safe. My understanding...

    Self-Unlocking zone for Mavic Mini

    Oh my, you guys need to absolutely calm down. haha!! I am a qualified Pilot holding a CPL with instrument rating so I know what to do and what not to do! What I am simply asking on here is does the Mavic Mini know?

    Self-Unlocking zone for Mavic Mini

    Hi all, I am a little confused with the self-unlocking tool. I have just self-unlocked the Adelaide airport zone. My question is does the software/firmware handle the zones while flying and prevent me from climbing higher where I shouldn't be. I am aware of where I shouldn't be, but does the...

    What is the point of recreational flying if you can't fly anywhere?

    I still can't find where you can fly in a national park - even if you take off and land outside the park. Here is an extract from Parks SA. I think you are confusing the rules with manned aircraft and not Remotely Piloted Aircraft. I see that it's an offence to fly 'in' a national park (without...

    What is the point of recreational flying if you can't fly anywhere?

    Good post, but isn't loitering over someone's home and passing over their home breaking the same law? Flying over a populous area?

    What is the point of recreational flying if you can't fly anywhere?

    So practically if I interpret CASA's rules, you cannot recreationally fly a Mavic mini in Austalia; Within 30m of people (in a cylindrical shape, so that excludes directly overhead even at 120m) Over a populous area at any altitude (over my house, neighbourhood, streets, roads, businesses...

    Did it Crash land or Auto-Land

    Hi there, Are there logs on the mavic mini itself? What would the iPad logs offer that I don't already know (I am a little confused by that). I see the only way to extract it from the iPad is with iTunes - which I am having an issue at the moment trying to install. The only PC access I have is...

    Did it Crash land or Auto-Land

    Hi all, New to the forums (found by googling related things to the events that occurred today) - sorry for the long-winded post! Well, today (like other days I decided to fly the mini) was low wind, nice sunny day. I decided to take off from a coastal town lookout, the lookout was higher than...
