Hi all i am thinking of taking my mavic pro to rhodes greece is it allowed
Interesting question. Does it matter if you do all you can to fly legally?Does the app force these restrictions upon a pilot? Or do we, as pilots, just make sure we do not violate the law?
It does! It matters because if I'm restricted to 50m, then I need to practice at 50m so I know what my limitations are. A pilot needs to be able to look at the drone and know it is approaching that limit instead of constantly staring at his controller. If I know my app will stop the drone from exceeding 50m, then I don't have to worry about monitoring my distance or wondering how high I can fly if the drone is XXm horizontally from me.Interesting question. Does it matter if you do all you can to fly legally?
Good to know. That will certainly be a nice upgrade.The distance thing is easy - the app has a built-in maximum distance setting.
Any suggestions on what to use in Europe? It's my first time over there.The important thing is to use the official source of information for no-fly zones, restrictions, distance from airports and so on. DJI GEO, Airmap and so on are fairly worthless for that outside the US.
I saw that posted earlier. So 24 hours advance notice would be good in most cases then?FWIW you can go further than 50m in Greece but currently, flights have to be pre-authorised via an app or form so takes a while (a few hours sometimes).
