    Potential Near Miss with Aircraft- suggestions?

    Could we unpack OP #3 comment regarding TFRs? If I had to make a guess this is probably coming out of a blurring of Victor airways, Military Training Routes (MTRs), MOAs, and other special use airspace ‘conditions’. While the victor airways do get likened to ‘roadways in the sky’ there is...

    Competitors Bust Airspace

    I get what you‘re saying, I really do. But I’d like to put consideration of this side of the coin in your mind. Most 90-year-olds aren’t up to backpacking through the Canyon, strict limits on helicopters means elderly, handicapped, etc now can only experience a smaller, limited portion...

    What is the benefit of RTK for sUAS's when conducting Bridge Inspections?

    Sorry about your drone loss. Out of curiosity how big/wide was the bridge (width as in how many lanes, not span length)? Just trying to get an idea of how far from the edge/clear sky view when it dropped some of the satellites. I’ve flow inspections under small wood deck over steel girder...

    I ask about the drone as one company I do contract work for requires Mavic 2 Pro’s, others don’t care as long as it’s a 20mp or better camera. I prefer using my Evo2 Pro when there aren’t other requirements. Evo 8k/48mp camera is an option if needed. 2 drones 9 batteries let’s go ;)

    Good morning! I‘m located in Reno, Nevada placing me in great proximity to lots of Northern California. I’d be thrilled to be part of your project. What equipment do your contractors need to have (any specific drone or minimum resolution level etc, accessories, 4 wheel drive, PPE, software...

    Looking for work?

    I must be missing something - I did not find any job posting from that link. Searching their job board there is an internship that mentions ‘drone’. Can you provide more detail to find the job post? TIA.
