    Just Received This UAS Risk Reduction FAA Bulletin

    I was kinda of hoping to spark a conversation more about the violations than who got their copy when. Oh well.

    Just Received This UAS Risk Reduction FAA Bulletin

    Just received in my email from faa.gov. I invite discussion: UAS Risk Reduction Notice Number: NOTC7257 At the recent meeting of the Unmanned Aircraft Safety Team (UAST), the team created three risk reduction working groups. UAS Loss of Control (LOC) is a very real safety concern. Due to...

    Oklahoma set to claim airspace under 200 feet.

    Oklahoma can make all the laws it wants. They are nullified by Federal per-emption. Until the FAA says "Okay states, you get to regulate the airspace from the ground to 200 feet AGL" these kinds of laws are merely wishful thinking on the part of the state or any municipality.

    Did they send you a new or a refurb?

    500 Meter Distance Limit

    I've been out of the loop for three months since that's how long it's taken DJI to cough up a replacement drone after my original one failed. For details on that, see here: Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control When I got the replacement I upgraded the firmware. Now I am...

    Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control

    Hey Ken, Thanks for stepping in. I've been working with Ed via Facebook and as of about an hour ago on day 88 I believe we have it all mostly resolved. I'll collect up my multiple case numbers if you like and email them to you along with emails I exchanged over the last couple of months with...

    Volume Adjustment for P3P Remote?

    This is a new one. DJI support swapped it out. Anyway, no matter. After I did a firmware update the controller started working properly.

    Volume Adjustment for P3P Remote?

    I'm not willing to accept "might be fine" with something that potentially becomes a brick at 400 feet. I has to work to spec.

    Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control

    They were giving me the same run-arounds which is why, after almost three months, I went the social media route. I posted here, on reddit, twitter, and on FaceBook. Facebook got their attention.

    Volume Adjustment for P3P Remote?

    I share your concern. If it's not working right who knows what else isn't working right on it. Also odd--it came with a full charge on it. All four segments lit. I've never seen one come out of the box with more than two segments. That implies to me it's been used before.

    Volume Adjustment for P3P Remote?

    Does anyone know if the RC volume is adjustable? I just received a replacement RC from DJI and when I turn it on it is completely silent. No start-up sound. Not that a care so much about a start-up sound but if it needs to alert me to somethin in flight I want to know ... plus I won't fly...

    Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control

    Update: Day 86. I received the replacement remote control. So now, supposedly, I have a new remote and a new drone. I'll test over the weekend and report back.

    Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control

    Moving at the speed of DJI. Want to see the speed at which DJI support moves? After three months being polite, waiting in queues, getting refurb after refurb while being told they were new, I decide to hang the laundry in public and leverage social media. You would think with the eyes of many...

    Absolutely Fed-Up With DJI Support and Quality Control

    Today is the 84th day since the initial incident brought the drone to the ground, and it's still not resolved. Now DJI is dicking around trying to figure out how to send out a replacement RC to the "new" one they sent last week ... which doesn't work. See it unfold in real-time right here...
