Texasism for solid human wastes.

Actually many people think it tastes like that. Kimshee is a Korean dish... but that is off topic...

And, needless to say - you don't want to be facing ATTI mode for the first time in surface Class B airspace less than a couple of miles from a major international airport., with the wind blowing in that direction.

How do you force? ATTI mode on the DJI Mini 2 to practice flying in ATTI mode?

I don't think it's possible on the latest models. The Mavic 2 was the last version that I'm aware supported it.

kimchi is the Korean dish.

Thank you for the correct spelling. I only had it when I was stationed out in Okinawa and TDY to S. KOREA.

Regarding to thus case, I wonder if these people - like the guy in the story (I refuse to call them RPICs)- do even understand, what are the rules for. The fines seem to be absurd, but not so much once one thinks it through and consider even the worst cases. A drone unexpectedly landing at an airport actually can take down a jet liner, no matter how inprobable it sounds. There are several critical moments during landing, when the jet liner is extremely vulnerable and a collision with drone can prove fatal. I don't even mention smaller aircrafts, which are even more vulnerable given by their size and so on.
Simply, taking into account all the risks, $20 000 is nothing compared to the potential consequences of this showcase of stupidity.
