Confuddling range test results

[PyroProdigy]

Google doesn't provide answers and facts itself.

Search engines are a means of identifying multiple publications from multiple reliable experts and institutions. I'll trust the opinion of a group of experts (like the American Medical Association) over the opinion of a single supposed expert (such as a former heroin addict).

Which is why I attached a link to several articles and peer reviewed research from several experts.

And Who exactly is a former heroin addict?

You and I are on the same page with respect to Google answers and signal propagation. That comment about Google was referring to the post you quoted in post #9 about just trusting Google. I should have been clearer about that.

And Who exactly is a former heroin addict?

The expert running the Department of Health and Human Services.

Lol ok I was just confused because that seemed to come out of nowhere but I get it now. And that is something I did not know!

Wind, the sun and clouds also can effect signals. Many people don't know what the wind can be a big factor with signals of all kinds. Radio wave interface as well.

Chemtrails too.Deep state interference.

Sometimes I question the WHOLE 'acceptable' wisdom of Line of Sight by the FAA when droning.

I mean the drone has Crystal clear vision - at the Point its Located... some of the Best cameras in the World - couldnt do Better at range...
Id call that better than VLOS ....
Way Way better than You with Binoculars ... LOL

In fact - based on this - even Internet 5g/4g has more clout than the Human trying to save the drone - by straining to see in the distance

But, Ok- this is a debate for another day... (smiling)

But even a Die Hard "FPV ADDICT!" would concur ...

This thread is pretty derailed at this point but honestly ? I think anyone who claims to maintain VLOS 100% of the time is lying. I'll say there are probably exceptions to that statement but they would probably be the Part 107 guys out on a job and a small minority of recreational flyers. Even with my glasses on, I lose sight of these things after a few hundred feet.

As stated, my tests and routine flights are done over uninhabited areas ( woodlands and farm fields ), I wouldn't fly like that over a more populated area.

I'll also say that after seeing a local pilot flying below 500' AGL, I do have a new appreciation for the VLOS/BVLOS rules. I made a post about that pilot and got **** on pretty heavily here for it, but now I have video proof of this happening that I can share once I find a place to post it. Seeing a small engine plane flying directly overhead and basically having your house buzzed while you have drone in the air nearby is not a pleasant thing.
