    DJI' new mode... privacy and security

    As the "Local Data Mode" is currently configured, it looks like it will prevent communication with DJI servers while flying, so no map updates, no TFR updates, no controller/software updates, etc. "...When a pilot enables local data mode, DJI apps will stop sending or receiving any data over the...

    *** Posting About Your 107 Results? POST IT HERE!

    Similar experience. Just got back from testing center an hour ago. 80%. Got 8 wrong I believe. Those 8 were the ones I had to guess at. Example: "As the separation between temperature and dew point gets smaller, you can expect....." (or something similar). One answer was clearly wrong, but...

    Phantom 4 has audio recording???

    Man, just recently ran across a great example of needing onboard audio to go with the amazing camera on my P3P :) Filming at the local raceway (600 hp sprint cars). Just nothing without the roar. Think I'll tripod a GoPro and mesh the audio in during post.

    Is there a way to override No Fly Zones?

    This is not true, although it will be true for 99% of Phantom pilots.

    FAA Study Guide & Test??

    My opinion only: The FAA will never, ever get in between a pilot and the manufacturer of the vehicle they're using (regarding recommended maintenance). It opens them up way too much for litigation.

    FAA Study Guide & Test??

    No idea. I didn't write the test. Just sharing a link to a practice test that was developed very early in the 107 process rollout. Not to be a terd.

    FAA Study Guide & Test??

    Agree re: 3DR's practice test questions. Typo's and a couple of incorrect answers, but a more than decent practice environment.

    Drones inspecting power lines

    I will be overseeing several flights of power distribution lines, and substations in Salt Lake soon. I'll try to share generic, non-sensitive info once we're done. (Oil & Gas major using contract UAS operator). We'll most likely utilize the Aeryon Skyranger

    Flight planning with airspace authorization (part 107)

    Completely agree with Phil. Not trying to stir the crap. We were not aware of the flight until 24hrs prior to the flight. Within that scenario, we opted to call vs. fill out the form. I hope you're right about airspace authorizations being "MUCH" quicker. Sounds like an opinion and not fact...
