https://www.engadget.com/faa-approves-first-commercial-automated-drone-flights-192554778.html This is a interesting read. The waiver and decision discussion are vary enlightening. The operations are limited to class g geofenced areas only and the craft must be inspected by a 107. My first...

Good to know. Thanks Vic for the clarification.

The new rule states “Broadcasts remote ID messages directly from the UA via radio frequency”....correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the dji aeroscope solution broadcasts from the operators controller. So they might have to come up with some type of work around.

When it comes to the broadcast signal.... I don’t see any real specifics yet regarding signal type or method. Seems perhaps us with dji products already have the ability to broadcast to AeroScope. The hardware may already be in place just need the software to update to be compliant. Dji already...

I’m very pleased to see this “Network-based / Internet transmission requirements have been eliminated. The final rule contains Broadcast-only requirements.” https://www.faa.gov/news/media/attachments/RemoteID_Executive_Summary.pdf

From the NOTAM A. All aircraft operations within the 10 NMR area(s) listed above, known as the inner core(s), are prohibited except for........ B.....between the 10 nmr and 30 nmr area(s).....All aircraft must be on an active IFR or filed VFR flight plan with a discrete code And we get our own...

Yep. I live right here as well. No flying almost every weekend this time of year.

There was a lot of other activities going on that week. This is a screen shot of the tfr for that wenesday. The bright red spot was the active and the orange was the soon to be active. Seems he was in the red or current active tfr at the time.

Yep. Class G only. This is what mine says “4. Operations under this Waiver may only be conducted in Class G airspace unless a separate airspace Certificate of Waiver or Authorization specifically stating that night operations may be conducted in controlled airspace is received from the FAA...

Terrific...thank you. I was able to save the certificate now. The reg number does indeed take you to the certificate. I was only able to get to it on a ios. For me Safari, Firefox all just would loop that link back but ios does open the pdf separately.

Thanks for the info. I received the paid registration receipt email but it doesn’t have the registration card at the bottom. I will keep emailing dronezone support.

Well its already time to renew my p4p faa registration. It is expiring end of February. So I went to the FAADroneZone dronezone logged in and went through the process got a paid email receipt but received no email with the pdf small card sized proof of Registration Certificate like I have for...

Well as expected flying here in SFLA is on a lock down this weekend. For sure NORAD will be busy monitoring this airspace. Overlapping 30mi TFRs

Well put. They fail to understand that in class G any manned aircraft can go wherever whenever they want since they are not required to transmit ADS-B or in be contact with ATC. The only way to avoid conflict with another craft is to have line of sight and see and avoid.

that article states “For additional safety, drones will fly at low altitudes (for example, below 400 feet) so it would be very unlikely for them to be in the same airspace as aeroplanes or helicopters.” Um.....helicopters can fly at any altitude. “because it will connect via the internet, LTE...
