So I live about 7-9km from two hospitals that have emergency chopper pads. Last night at near midnight a Rescue chopper went over our house. Sounded fast and low. I pulled up Flightradar24 and it showed the chopper tracking over our house at 500ft and doing 80 knots (about 150kph). Of course the height was distance above sea level according to the chopper's GPS.
Now our house is 130 ft above sea level and I'm allowed to go up 400 ft from there.
If I had been flying the Mavic at full height he would have gone under it. Just.
A few points were it was night time so I'm never flying then by CASA rules, it was also raining so another reason to not be up there.
I hope they never fly that low in the day. With his speed and height I would not have time to bring the Mavic down.
