I have had a bad experience with DJI repair center in the Netherlands with a GL300E RC and the dreaded low battery false alarm because of a fried CW2015 chip. First I was sent a 289,90 € "screen repair" bill that had nothing to do with the issue I sent the RC for. I suspect they looked into the...

Yes, in fact the fast spiralling descent is compulsory manoeuvre for getting certified here, with combined forward down and coordinated turn. But the question is that you should avoid getting in that situation in the first place. In theory any close encounter is reported and you never know...

it happened to me this last weekend, suddenly a low flying Robinson light helo appeared from nowhere and at some point we were unconfortably close to him. It does not take too much to bring a Robinson down . We had several spots to take off from and we probably chose the one with the poorest...

this one : https://www.amazon.es/s?k=anemometer in fact this is basic operational equipment in our business

https://drones.enaire.es/ I would not care about the big yellow quadrants as long as you keep a low profile, but I would absolutely respect the other no-fly areas, the red ones (classified airspace) and the brown ones (natural parks). Don't fly urban, don't fly over people, 120/500m. BTW, the...

DJI has been lucky so far but as soon as a P4P fried battery does some serious harm in the ground I guess FAA will have to investigate and eventually we'll have the luxury of some real disclosure.

Thanks for the tips. It is hard to discuss here with people with zero culture about aviation safety, so we never get to know how people actually treated the batteries that failed on them, just want to get the warranty coverage sorted out etc, and DJI quite unprofessionally IMO won't tell...

Yes I am serious.

we need more post like your's, Blade4. More people explaining why they think their batteries could have failed.

any jamming tech usually should take your drone down in a very controlled manner, FAA won't allow drone crashes in an uncontrolled manner

because we fly uncertified RPAS with unprofessional post-sale customer support by a secretive chinesse company which does not abide to common sense aviation industry rules, like being transparent about design errors and all that ****

only USA goverment can spy on its citizens (and on everyone else)

Well, do you have any hard data to support your opinion? The fact is you have the same than I do, none. If you take look at DJI forums, every two or three days a new thread pops up about a mid flight power shut down and those are the ones that get reported in forums, they are probably many more...

tell us your result please, I have this issue with photogrammetry works and a missing pic means bad results and getting back to field many times is not an option.

I am talking about battery failures and the fact that DJI keeps silent about why they fail, how many are failing and what it is doing to fix it. Regulators are never going to accept that for drones working on demanding enviroments. Certification of drones and its safety systems is what makes the...
