We all know that the DJI geozones are not entirely accurate. I've flown mapping projects where their geozone intrudes just a tiny sliver into of the back of the properties. This creates a MAJOR issue when trying to complete a portion of the last leg of the mission. I could either use my parrot...
The number of SVs (satellites) does not necessarily mean accuracy. The DOPs (Dilution Of Precision) are the other main items to evaluate. There may be plenty of SVs, but the geometry is weak. There's usually once a day where the DOP values are high therefore the accuracy is low. The GPS apps...
Here is a link to planning your mission around the GNSS availability. Trimble GNSS Planning Tool. I recommend setting your elevation mask to 15° as anything below that can cause some discrepancies due to poor geometry and atmospheric refraction. Water and other reflective surfaces can cause...
The area is just outside a warning/restricted zone from the aviation museum and I never have problems except on some weekends. The planes sometimes fly below 400ft even with high visibility. I fly out past Pungo Ferry bridge towards Moyock. Mt Trashmore is okay but not much scenery and sometimes...
I have found a few spots in the area. Using Airmap and B4UFLY apps help. Chicks Beach, Mt. Trashmore, Sandbridge, sometimes the oceanfront and out past Creeds towards Moyock are a few places. There are minor gaps that allow flying here and there. I live right outside of Oceana so I know the...
