    Going to Australia with P4 - any suggestions

    So I live in the US and I'll be traveling to Australia in November and I'm thinking of taking my P4 with me. I've been looking around to see if I can fly it in Sydney and other surrounding areas that I'll be visiting and there doesn't seem to be a ton of information (and I'm afraid of getting...

    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    On Tuesday, August 30th, I ended up losing signal with a return to home altitude that was too low and caused my drone to crash on a building (160 ft high). I met a security guard who was cool enough to go out of his way to check the roof where he is not allowed to be and has confirmed the drone...

    Is there a way to teach people to not hang out in the left lane?

    It's mind boggling that someone would not know/ care that the left lane is for passing. Any European country, a driver would know that, even the housewives. And in the US, the law is in the book: the left lane is for passing only. What's the problem with people wanting to be in the left lane...

    Police vs law vs drones

    So basically, I flew down to Hollywood, and wanted to fly my p3s, so I did. Not 2 minutes after takeoff I am approached by a police officer who tells me to land immediately and that "drones are only legal in certain parks in California." [edit: I was not in a park at the time, so what the...

    So what CAN we do?

    Hi all! So I am a new phantom 4 owner looking to both get into flying commercially as well as for personal fun. I've read an exhausting number of articles regarding the mess surrounding drone regulation. I want to play by the rules but find that living in Los Angeles I'm virtually not allowed...

    An Insightful Look at Drone Legalities in the US

    An extremely in-depth and (mostly) objective article about drone laws in the US. It's a long one so I'll log the main points here if anyone wants a summary. Full-length article here: Is Flying a Drone Illegal? A Comprehensive Guide to America’s Drone Laws "Few (areas of government law) are so...

    Legal Fees for Section 333 Exemption Petition

    I am looking to hire a law firm to assist with a Section 333 exemption. Does anyone have an idea of how much I would be looking at for preparation of the Section 333 Petition from start to finish? Are lawyers charging hourly on this or flat fee (or perhaps so mix of both)? Also, are there...

    California introduces bill for further identification on drones

    Stumbled across the following today building up a collection of Legal docs in case I am ever confronted while flying. Technically, the "Follow-Me" features of the Drones and the new Phantom 4 fall under this guideline. [EDIT/UPDATE] Section 39101a is clear it does not apply to "Modle...

    UK Police to use Eagles to pull drones out the sky

    This is quite an amazing video to see. If you by any chance happen to fly over a NFZ, you will have one of these bad boys recover your drone for you lol. Police 'ponder eagles to tackle drones' - BBC News I seriously wouldn't see this being used, but if it does you can at least see a real...

    Drone regulations in some european and asian countries

    I had two people research drone regulations in these countries: Italy, Germany, France, Romania, Turkey, Hungary, Russia, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Thailand, and Nepal. I haven't done much yet to check their work, and since I'm travelling I may not get to soon, so I wanted to share what I have...
