Hi fellow pilots. This is my first post here but I have had my Mavic Air with me for a couple months. I live in Southern California and I flew around but the drone laws here are killing me. Here’s the latest example: http://www.rpvca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/8623/Drone-Policy I wanted to fly my...

Hi Guys, I need some help here. My waiver got denied & I thought I was very thorough in my application. Can anyone help point out what I am missing? I'm new to this, constructive feedback only please. Thanks in advance. Part of my drone business includes aerial photography & videography of...

Hello brother's and sister's Remote Pilots, It seems that there are more and more State, County and City laws, ordinances and codes that are trying to control the airspace of The United States of America! As sUAS pilots we need to know the truth about these state, county and city regulations...

i thought this to be a practical approach to drone rules. Much more practical than the US rules. Recognizes the low level most hobbits drones fly doesn’t conflict with aircraft. The distance from buildings seems a bit overkill to me. With regards to “Public Buildings” it depends on definition...

I am looking for reliable, complete, and up-to-date information on drone regulations in Germany, as well as practical advice on flying there. There are several web pages and forum posts on this topic, but most seem incomplete, or they do not fully agree with each other. I do not speak German...

Hey guys, this is my first post on this website as I only had my mavic for 2 weeks. But I'm glad to be here and would like open an interesting discussion based on my recent encounter. Let me start by saying that I'm a current aviation safety student with a uas minor. Next year I'd be seeking to...

What's up fellow pilots! My partner Chris and I are both Air traffic Controllers that fly drones in our spare time, we started a podcast about ATC but we talk about different topics in the aviation industry. Episode 3 we talk a little about Drones. We hope you enjoy and If you do, please...

3.5 km from the airport and 450m up. This won’t help with the fight to amend the current interm drone regulations. It only takes one idiot... Drone strikes commercial aircraft in Quebec: Garneau

Hey guys, I am a new Mavic pilot and I gotta tell it was very exciting at first, I brought my drone to Lithuania, made some nice videos and pictures, but I live in Copenhagen and it was very disappointing to find out that I can't even fly in my city... i was wondering if there is anyone from...

I am lucky that my local Library subscribes to 'Rotor Drone Magazine', the July/August 2017 issue has two priceless articles for drone owners. The first is on studying and passing the 107 test. The most important one though is about, WHY THE DRONE INDUSTRY NEEDS YOUR HELP. It is about the new...

Head to Canada net week, just gone through the revised drone regs, and looked at the public consultation on proposed future regs...... wow. What to pack? for a country with a fair amount of movie & TV production, seem to be restricting a great film making tool....

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to this forum and also brand new to drones. I recently purchased a DJI Mavic Pro and I have a bunch of questions. I'm aware that you need to notify (not get permission) airports and heliports if you're going to be flying within a 5 mile radius. My question is: When...

Hi! Has anyone traveled to Brazil or Canada recently? I'm trying to gather some information on how and where to register a drone, and other possible requirements in those countries... Any solid information is welcome! Thanks in advance! Rod.

Not sure if this has been picked up elsewhere but I noticed today that there have been some some subtle but significant changes to the Canadian drone rules. Here's the 'new' version... (bold by me) • within 90 m above the ground or lower • at least 30 m away from vehicles, vessels, and the...

I am so tired of irresponsible drone owners who cannot follow the rules!! I have absolutely had it with people ruining it for the rest of us. I have seen dozens upon dozens of YouTube video of people doing absolutely unbelievably stupid things with their UAV or drones. I have decided to start...

Are foreigners allowed to bring drones to China and to fly them? There were several reports that since June 1st, 2017 drone registration is compulsory in China. How does this new rule affect foreigners? How and where can drones be registered? Is it possible without a Chinese ID? I was not...

Hi, I note that the CASA regulations are such that it is state regularly that you are not to fly within 30 meters of buildings. I was wondering how this related to the airspace above a building. Obviously there is a reasonable risk that flying over a person could cause an injury and is thus...
