    Mavic Air 2 Remote ID

    Recently, I updated my Mavic Air 2's firmware and was surprised to see Remote ID as part of the update. Whenever I searched DJI drones with Remote ID, the Mavic Air 2 was never listed so I thought I needed to buy another drone. Now I am happily flying my Mavic Air 2 and even created two YouTube...

    Part 107 Test/Recurrency go LIVE 4/6/21... Important notes . . .

    Flying MA2 over water?

    I have flown over the May River in Bluffton, SC with my Mavic Air 2 and as long as you maintain a proper altitude you should have no problems.

    Savannah and Tybee Island

    I love flying on Tybee Island because of the Lighthouse, old Fort Screvin, the pier, and most importantly the beach. Can’t fly on the beach on Hilton Head Island legally but the Tybee Island folks say “just be careful.” Come over the Bluffton sometime.

    Flying a protest in Columbia, SC

    The the #AllOutMay1 is Wednesday and I was wondering the feasibility of videoing the marchers with a drone. There appear to be no local laws after I did a search. The only thing is I need to contact a small municipal airport for their permission. If I avoid overflying the crowd, would it be...

    School Teacher

    I am a teacher and have used my drone for lesson videos, overhead photos of the school, and demonstrations things related to drones. My interpretation of the rules is you need a certificate because you do get income from the school/district you teach in. My principal requested I get certified...

    I love flying on Tybee Island.The lighthouse, Fort Screvin, and the beach is a great area to fly. Another great spot is the pier further down the island.

    Excessive Compass Calibration

    It seems I need to do a compass calibration about every other time I start my Mavic Air. Is there a reason for this? My Spark didn’t need so many compass calibrations.
