restrictions

Hello! I am new to this forum and I am looking for some advice and opinions from experienced UK flyers. I have been thinking about buying the Mini 3 Pro to take pictures of pretty and/or dramatic places in the UK. I do not yet own a drone (although I used one with a very short flight time for...

Flying a drone for commerical use and have gotten permission from the business. My local government doesn't have any information on their stance on drones. Just wondering if that means I defer to the FAA or if I should still ask my local government if it's ok to fly. I'm Part 107 licensed. Thanks!

I try and fly by the rules and do the correct thing. In Switzerland I wanted to fly my drone about 4km from a heliport (Interlaken) so technically within the 5km zone. After telephoning the airport I was sent by email a form to complete. For some reason, the heliport wanted 24 hours notice...

I have read many posts on the internet, and even this forum of people doing pretty outrageous things with their drones. Videos abound of hacking your drone to go higher and faster. People fly over cities or invade airspace illegally, oblivious to the law. The question that continues to pervade...

I recently noticed this message at an Emirates counter (not the check-in counter but the pre-boarding one). I asked the person what the issue is with drones. The reply was that the drones have (prop) blades and so are a security issue. Needless to say I didn't own up that I have a drone nor...

If your not using them already, great links to keep you informed about where to fly & when not to fly in the UK. RAF notification line & CAA Skywise.

Hello all, I have 3 small airports that I get advisory notices about in AirMap near my home. If I win too fly and do not get an answer when I call the supplied number what should I do? Can I assume they are closed, after 2/3 calls or so and not need to be concerned? I’m new to this great hobby...

Hello all, as I was searching for places to fly I came across an odd discrepancy in the Airmap app. You will see in the pic provided that some roads have 'yellow' on them. The issue is that they do not always have yellow on the same road... for example, highway 95 turns from yellow to white and...

Hi everyone and sorry for my mistakes in english, I'm french. I have a Mavic and I found out that there is a limitation for the altitude for both Waypoint mode and Point of interest mode with the DJI APP (Android). I also red that the minimum distance between two points in WP is 0.5 meters with...

Has anyone with the new DJI Mavic Pro Platinum (MPP) tried jailbreaking it to remove the limitations? If so, what happens to the ESC parameters that are the essence of the Platinum (e.g. Quiet flight, extended flight time)?

A skit..... Hey DJI, do I have permission to fly my drone today? The one that you manufactured and evidently control from your R&D teams systems. I mean I'm just wondering if it's ok, since I am apparently just renting my drone from you, I didn't know my money was just a security deposit. See...

I have a friend who lives in a Del Webb community in Lincoln CA. He forwarded to me their association news, and he knows I have a drone. Here's their new policy: "Therefore be it resolved that: The Board affirms and adopts the policy that small unmanned aircraft systems as defined above may...

https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-opssvs/Flying_for_fun_EN-V6.pdf Transport Canada is relaxing its restrictions on recreational drone users -- eliminating rules for pilots on how close they can fly the devices around animals, buildings, and other structures. The updated safety measures...

Is this exactly mean anything else than I should "fly with caution" ? - in restrictions meaning :) In my current location as long as I have GEO system ON this warning shows up on the screen, I have checked DJI ZONE MAPS and I am not in any type of zone at all, theoretically clear area, but I am...

Greetings, I am a new member here and am having some frustrations with my new Mavic Pro. It is my personal drone but I also use it for work purposes as it allows me to grab quick, simple footage without dragging out our hexacopter and a second operator. I am in a unique situation as the...
