    Drone Pilot Associations?

    I haven't been on the AOPA website in quite some time. I was very surprised to see how much AOPA seems to be committing to the drone community.

    Drone Pilot Associations?

    I'm not even sure what I'm paying now. When I started, it was $25/year.

    Drone Pilot Associations?

    I'll have to take a closer look at what AOPA is doing in this arena.

    Drone Pilot Associations?

    I have belonged to the AOPA and EAA for years who represent pilots in the broader aviation community. Are there any similar organizations for drone pilots?

    What software is this?

    Thanks all. And I totally get what you're saying about learning curves. I have a friend who does far more video editing that I do who is testing out the time involved on these. He asked me to post this up for your input since he wasn't familiar with the application. This is not something I...

    What software is this?

    Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash

    It can happen to the best of us. He was unprepared, struggling to maintain visual reference, probably rushed. And he made a fatal mistake.

    Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash

    Unfortunately, he was probably in full on OH CRAP mode before he figured out what kind of a mess he was in. At that point, panic sets in and that close to the ground... well...

    Darn good points.

    Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash

    It's the same thing that killed John Kennedy Jr. It is very very weird when you experience it. One of my most vivid memories was when doing some IFR work with an instructor. We were flying straight and level, then upon entering a cloud bank, everything in my head was telling me we were in a...

    Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash

    Everything is pointing to pilot error at this point. A bad case of get-there-itis led to bad decision making. SVFR is only practically effective at the airport. Once you get away from the airport where they are evaluating the weather conditions for the approval, the weather conditions change...
