Anyone have any insight on what exactly this entails? It seems to me like this is going to be used for rule enforcement, right? Lastly, anybody have info on how this may work? The FAA web-page is vague in this regard. https://www.faa.gov/uas/research_development/remote_id/

Thank you for the recommendations. Me and one other pilot will try to practice hand launch/land at some point tomorrow, since a few of you have suggested it. Hopefully we get comfortable with it so we can put it to the test during a real mission.

Thank you for the reassurance about the batteries. Catching our drone is not very practical considering we have a Mavic. If we had a Phantom, I could see us doing that, but we will likely have to land on the boat directly. We will not be moving the boat while the drone is in the air. I don't...

Thank you for the suggestion! It is probably best that I be a part of both!

We are in the process of developing a drone program for the State of Louisiana! We look forward to learning more about commercial operations/applications for our Mavic 2 Pro.
