Lots of Monday morning quarterbacking going on. Putting on shows, that's pretty much all congress does anymore. Anything other than actually accomplishing anything.
I thought that DJI drones where not authorize to be used by the Federal governement, becasue they where made in China. Also I just patch my DJI Mavic 3 last night, and the new patch, deleted all of my files on DJI server. the last I heard was there is a bill on POS desk to band DJI drones in US. There is a lot going on in the back ground with the drones right now.
There is no bill sitting anywhere waiting for a signature for any kind of DJI ban.
There is a lot of bad information out there.
Here is where you need to check to stay on top of everything in D.C.
The Drone for First Responders Act Isn’t - Drone Service Providers Alliance
No, it’s not “for” First Responders, not at all! (More on that later.) U.S. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has finally published the actual language to H.R.8416 – Drones for First Responders Act. It’s pretty much what exactly what we knew was coming, in spite of the myriad of comments about it...

The truth about the Countering CCP Drones Act - Drone Service Providers Alliance
[7/10/24 update: Yesterday the Senate Armed Services Committee released their version of the NDAA. It is an 1197 page document. If you follow that link and search for “DJI”, “China”, or “Drones”, you’ll find out that neither the CCCPDA nor the DFR language is anywhere in that bill. That means...

Would you mind explaining a little more about this patch, where to obtain it, and how to go about deleting all of your files from the DJI server? Thanks.
LOL, I think you know about the new software update for the Mavic 3 just a few days ago (often referred to as a "patch") and I think you know about the latest efforts from DJI to handle flight logs. Combine all that together and the fact that the vast majority of DJI drone owners don't know exactly how everything works and how often these updates are rolled out, you can see where someone might think this was done by DJI rather expeditiously, no? Only a few people like me think (and know) that the CCP currently has your drone data and will have it forever but the ordinary person (just like our Congress people) not knowing the complex details on how it works might just believe this move has something to do with strategy (and maybe they wouldn't be far off). There is no "patch" and the servers have not had your data purged.

Wasn’t there a TFR around that event.
My experience with TFRs have been the fire type that can move. I was under the impression that if I wandered into TFR my drone would land. You sure get a lot of warnings. I use ForeFlight for the exact location on airspace
The TFR was not active when he flew his drone.
Droning on and on...

And the flysafe database has to have been updated to include it, which isn't a sure thing by any measure.
Local law enforcement offered their drones and the SS turned them down. We will never know the truth!
At a local Trump rally the TFR started an hour before he was supposed to, and he was still talking 30 minutes after the TFR expired. YMMV.
