Hi I’m a new pilot based just north of London in the UK, I’ve got a mavic 2 air any tips or suggestions for my first couple of flights? Your help would be much appreciated.

Maddog,
Hello from Virginia. It may seem like an obvious thing but the camera video on/off deserves special attention, simply because a new guy is going to be busy watching all the other things on the controller. It's quite easy to not notice that either you have the video running when you don't want it to, or thinking you are recording when you're really not -- just one of those easy things to overlook.

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic Air 2:

• The current Mavic Air 2 manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic Air 2 downloads page.
  
  
• Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic Air 2 manual.
  
  
• This video covers all the basics of the Mavic Air 2.
  
  
• Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.
  
  
• Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.
  
  
• The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.
  
  
• Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Welcome to the forum. Your first flights should be close, low, and slow.

Welcome to the forum. I agree, baby steps the first few times. Also, make sure you are well aware of the rules. Happy flying.
