Depending on where you live, see if you can find an authorized DJI Repair Centre. I live in the UK and had a cracked shell on my Phantom 3 Standard. I found a place about an hours drive from me that replaced it in a couple of days. I dropped mine off and collected it. Parts were £56 and the...

The primary piece of legislation that covers drones in the UK is the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and the Air Navigation Order 2009 made under the Act. Breaches of these aviation laws are criminal offenses, enforced by the CAA. There are also “rules of the air” aka 'The Drone Code' that apply to...

It's called the Drone Code developed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the National Air Traffic Service (NATS) here in the UK. "When you fly a drone in the UK it is your responsibility to be aware of the rules that are in place to keep everyone safe. Follow these simple steps to make...

I really welcome this. As a pilot that abides my the current CCA rules, I am totally fed up of the small minority of people who choose to break the law and potentially ruin it for everybody else.

U unless he'd updated the firmware to remove the DJI NFZ restriction. There are 3rd products around to do this even though you shouldn't.

Agreed and actions like this give us all a bad name.

And you've just highlighted my frustration with the current situation. You can spend hours researching a location to fly by checking local ordinance and various maps such as Airmap only to fall foul of rules that haven't been displayed properly or added to the DJI App. There needs to be a...

I will be interested to see how this plays out. That said I would like to see a set of rules that run across all states that clearly lays out where is acceptable to fly. I read too many stories of people being intercepted by law enforcement who sometimes simply don't know the rules. Add to...

Coming out to the Long Beach area from the UK in October and would be very interested in flying with you if you're around.

Nice video and how do you get the flight data on the bottom of the screen?

Surely this has to be a case of #FakeNews. Not only is a drone at 4, 000 feet not believable but actually trying to buzz an aircraft at that height is even more unbelievable. Sources tell me that anything usual in the sky now that pilots see is reported as a drone. As others have said it could...

Hello everyone, Likely to be vacationing in the Los Angeles area in early October and looking for places within an hours drive of the Manhattan Beach area to fly my drone. Have done an awful lot of reading of the forums over the past few days and I have read many regulation articles from the...

Newbie in Oxfordshire and looking for other people to fly with. Happy to travel within an hour of Oxford.
