I stand for safety. Drones need to land in a controlled manner, and they sometimes do not. Drones are designed for human use, and must account for that if safe opearation in the NAS is undertaken. The system logs are an important learning tool, and so is the subjective memory of the pilot. Each...

Methinks its impossible to "protest" too much for safety. All I needed to see were these pages, which revealed to me the extent of the problem, thanks! Maybe my experience in life is different from yours. I myself, have had cell phones and computers misbehave. I think of a drone as a flying...

I wonder whether DJI is so busy geocaching, that errors are getting through in their constantly updating Firmware. Further, I don't trust those logs, many pilot reports that stick movements shown in the report were not the ones input by the pilot. Perhaps, it displays the movements the drone...

When an aircraft leaves the National Airspace System, but fails to land under control, that is concern to all. Fly Away or Pilot Error, it must be addressed. To me, your analogy to private aircraft is inapposite, unless we were talking about an aircraft where all the electronics failed, the...

Yet they "happen" every day. The heart of the weakness in the UAS, is their lack of "Sense and Avoid".capacity., the FaA's greatest concern. A flyaway, or pilot error, doesn't matter, that results in a drone leaving controlled flight is exactly that fear realized. That's the area we should...

I believe you. There is a strong tendency to blame the pilot. There is a lot of software being forced into the Phantom series, recently, and these flying computers are doing a lot at the same time, including three dimensions of travel, gps acquisition, wind corrections, plus stick input which...

Puget Sound area.

Premature of the industry to discount the flyaway issue. Must address pilot as well as aircraft for overall system safety. Aircraft must be instinctive in a loss of control or signal. Each mishap is a learning opportunity that should be shared.
