Recently purchased a mavic 2 for my wife to photograph/video for recreation. I looked through this forum and there is some great info here. I'm sure I will have lots of questions in the future. Since my wife isn't really technical I've been charged with learning everything so I can teach her. So I will beat myself over the head with the manuals and learn as much as I can about airspace regs before coming back and asking questions. Thanks.

Are you sure its for the wife or is it a veiled excuse to get yourself a new toy ?

Install Airmap or UAS Sidekick so that if you need to you will be able to file a flight plan if within 5 Statute Miles of an airport. You can get approval in minutes (sometimes seconds) using the LAANC system. This used to only be offered to Part 107 Licensed FAA Certified Pilots , but now is open to hobbiests as well.

This is handy if you go out to an area to fly and find that you are just inside the 5 mile radius and think. Aww bummer I cannot legally fly. Well you may be able to using LAANC.

Oh, and Hello.

Welcome! Yes, there is a great deal to learn as a new drone owner! I’m in my 4th week.

As noted, there are some excellent YouTube videos for the beginner (Search for “51 Drones” he does a great presentation.). Learn backwards & forwards the various icons on the controller. With a charged battery & controller, you can learn (No props attached.) this in your home.
