Albuquerque, NM, phantom pilots.

AngelFireHamons · Sep 25, 2015

I am up in Angel Fire, so if any of you guys ever get up this way, shoot me a note...plenty of great places to fly up here. Right now, I am putting together b-roll of all of the Fall color changes. That video will be a couple of more weeks before I start putting it together, but here is one from the area.

Cool, I live in Rio Rancho. I know the area you've flown well.
I'm just to west of you; 1 block west of Idalia, between Kim and Iris

Been doing a bit of searching and haven't found anything. Does anyone know about Albuquerque ordinances that restrict the flight of our aircraft?

I haven't heard of any restrictions in ABQ. I live up in Angel Fire, so I am not a up-to-date with what all is happening down south - but I haven't heard of anything yet.

I don't watch much news, but I haven't hear anything either

last summer when someone crashed into the crowd at summerfest two weekends in a row, the city council suggested a ban at public events. I don't believe any thing came of it, but i can't find any details to confirm or deny either.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out in the future with municipalities vs FAA. I don't believe local municipalities can restrict flights, once its in the air its up to the FAA

A flight over the river.

I've only been flying the P3S for about two weeks now, but have flown the Rio Grande, a few random parks, the foothills, and near Piedras Marcadas Petroglyphs. I have a few cool flights planned for this weekend too. Still trying to get the hang of things.

i saw your flight in downtown very cool, how did you set up the flight since its in a no fly zone?

Call KABQ ATCT/Flight Op days in advance to schedule. Give location, heading, distance, and approximate times.
Also, a big thanks for watching!

Looks good.
My only suggestion would be to go into controller settings and slow down the pan (side to side) speed.
