I updated the B4UFLY app on my iPad in the last few days. Now, when I touch the B4UFLY app’s icon to open the app, I get an FAA announcement saying “B4UFLY is expanding!” See screenshot. There’s a link to an FAA webpage with more information. But the app itself doesn’t open, no matter what I...

I see a lot of regulations that prohibit "taking off, landing, and operating a UAV in X space." However, they do allow UAVs to fly over that space. (And also, the FAA allows UAVs to fly over any non-FAA-regulated space) What is the difference between "operating" a UAV and simply "flying over" a...

So with the new FAA regulations, can anyone tell me how to determine what classification the Mavic Air 2 is? Noob pilot and trying to get as much info as I can to ensure both safe and legal flying. Category 1: A Category 1 drone represents “a low risk of injury” to humans and therefore...

Hi All, As a quick background, I had a Phantom 3 Pro back in 2017(ish) but ended up selling it for a variety of reasons. I'm now thinking of picking up a Mavic 2 Pro and getting back into the hobby. I was looking at the rules on the FAA site and noticed quite a few changes, but wanted to make...
