Comment, please. We've seen many changes to final rules from NPRMs in the past. Both for Part 107, as well as OOP and RID. We saw a number of changes in those directly from the comments.

It's 180 pages of triple column 10 pt text. There is no way to actually craft bullet points. Its too varied.

I was just told "technical difficulties". Not sure when it will be back online, but we have plenty of time to get our comments in.

Here is my take on the FAA's BVLOS NPRM. It's imperative that every drone owner in the U.S., whether commercial or recreational, submit clean, articulate, and professional comments before October 6th. The RID NPRM had over 53,000 comments. We should blow that number out of the water. There are...

Which one?

And built what? There isn't a single U.S. drone manufacturer that is interested in the prosumer market. Nor at any interested in the recreational market. No, we don't have the interest by any manufacturers, or the ability to produce even if we did.

Worse case scenario, and Congress doesn't come to their senses and cooler heads don't prevail, there won't be any firmware issues. The only real issue with what you're wanting to do (I know many who have brought their drones in from other countries) is that you won't have any U.S. based...

Yep, which is less than 1% of all BVLOS flights.

I'll have my summary of the NPRM out as soon as possible. I have to make sure my clients are taken care of first. I hope to have a video and article out this weekend.

The NPRM throws 99% of all drone pilots under the bus. People like me who currently have BVLOS waivers (mine is for 2SM) will be left out of the game entirely. It takes no account of how I and others utilize our waivers and just disregards our 100% safety record of flights taken under our...

It sure would be nice if we could discuss things this important (BVLOS is critically important to this industry) without politics being childishly inserted into the conversation. Grow up folks. This kind of nonsense does NOBODY any good!

AFS-700 has relaxed the Public COA BVLOS waiver. It's basically a "fill in the blanks" type of application. Whether or not we see similar in the NPRM remains to be seen. But likely. However, the NPRM is now 14 days late as per the Presidential Executive Order. We should see it later this week...

The Mavic 3 Pro isn't a mapping drone, as you found out. Without RTK, it's just not very accurate, and definitely isn't very easy. I fly the Mavic 3 Pros for all of my creative work. But I fly one of my Mavic 3 Enterprise for any mapping for measuring that's needed. And the batteries are...

We'll see if it comes back next session.

I fly with both. I get much cleaner transmission with the RC Pro. Especially in areas of high interference. And I have a BVLOS waiver, and fly out 2 miles regularly. The RC2 will work, but I'm more confident in the RC Pro for better transmission and control.
