Air 2 AirSense Australia

Cirdan · Apr 22, 2021

I have an Air 2 but can not find "AirSense" where everywhere I read, that it's supposed to be. Is it not available in Australia?

Airsense is only used in the US now (I think) as it is an alert system that uses ADS-B technology.
We don't have that in all aircraft / helis here.

Ok thanks. I guess that's why I can't find it. Probably would be useful to have in Aust..

I used to live on Liza Rd, Happy Valley. Where do you fly your drone locally? I practise at the Lonsdale Football club oval, Field River and just north of O'Sullivan's Back boat ramp.

Not really ... Most of the low-flying planes you could encounter aren't going to have ADS-B

Wilfred Taylor Reserve (Wheatsheaf Rd Morphett Vale is a favourite, on my way between home and workshop . . . very rarely now, just for testing and a quick safe fly to ensure all systems working ok if I haven't flown for a while.

Of course Onka council are anti drone in their parks, I go way out back to far NW corner open area, and always weekdays, work hours, never had any probs in there.

LFC oval would be good.

I generally just fly on location, coastal areas are good, but anywhere we're allowed to fly and something of interest to film from above.

The great urban sprawl.
Still pockets of bush around, but Happy Valley is pretty much developed now.
What year were you here last ?

I was down there last year to greet our new Grand daughter. Left SA back in 1970.
