To the guy that lost his Mavic Pro in the ocean today, it washed up on the beach, and someone picked it up and turned it in to the city of Cannon Beach. I saw it. The version with the Hasselblad camera.
Heard today the owner showed up to collect his Mavic. Seems the sdcard was missing. Would the finder have taken it? Sad.That be a Mavic2Pro and thank you for posting .View attachment 67867View attachment 67868
The flight looked to be in a legal area to fly, just poor judgment.If there was possibly a questionable flight involved, the authorities could have taken the card to try to ID the operator??
Praps they could've just waited till he came to pick it up???
Dunno!!!
I believe you're out of luck at Ecola. No drone flying allowed there is my guess.oh ok, that sounds reasonable. and how about Ecola Park? is there an official website where I can find these info?
Thanks again!
I do not disagree with anything you've said here but the reality is, when you do go to Cannon Beach, you will find signs by some government entity, whether it be Oregon State Parks, the City of Cannon Beach, or some wildlife bureaucracy, that drone flying is banned within 2,000 feet of Haystack Rock. Whether you agree with it or not, it is best to pack up the drone and fly elsewhere. These charts are helpful, but do not reflect all local restrictions. To defy the local regulations does not help our cause, to inform the public about responsible UAV flying. In my earlier post, I mentioned NOAA as restricting aerial flights of any kind along the northern Washington coast. Some may have thought I was speaking of the Oregon coast.Actually many state parks in Oregon DO allow you to fly, you have to look for postings. That being said, much of the Oregon coast is National Wildlife Refuge area, thus you are not supposed to fly there. I believe any islands, rocks, reefs and such are off limits all along the mid and northern coastlines due to the birds nesting thing, but Oregon does allow flights on many of its beaches... just not around crucial habitats. The above Sectional by AMann used the incorrect sectional (because it is for 4000' and above flights) thus it could be confusing. If you look where the green arrow is that I drew on the map near Tillamook this actually shows a set of rocks that are part of a refuge, some like haystack rock may not be big enough for the sectional. One other thing to note, B4UFLY and Airmaps do not reveal this as restricted airspace, so fly carefully. Visit -Safeskiescampaign.com
