Getting back into flying

[JRUSH311]

I purchased a drone several months back and loved flying it around
P3A
when the faa got involved I sold it because I didnt like the aggravation
Ive missed it and just ordered a brand new P3A
Im heading to the bristol race this coming weekend
Think its safe to get some scenic shots if I dont get too close
and dont fly during the race?

Maybe you can ask the organisation. Maybe they want that you make a after movie.

Ive done a little research it seems I have to register the craft now
Is flying around at a nascar track (before racetime) illegal? risky?
I could stay high up if needed/ also wondering about radio interference from everything at the track

2.4 ghz has a band with little channels within the 2.4 band. Your controller pair with the drone. And checks together with the controller of there is a channel free. They block the channel so nobody can interupt. Only if you have a radio jammer but that is illegal.
I think you need to contact the organisation to make a after movie or something. That is safer. Then they know what you are doing. Before they call the police.

I went to Bristol last August. The Last Great Colosseum! I wish I could go again this year.

That being said, I can pretty much guarantee the whole place will be a No Fly Zone for the entire weekend, and you'd be asking for trouble trying to fly anywhere near the track.

its an interesting story I had never even seen a drone until the bristol race. Someone hired them to take video of people riding in the back of a monster truck he was flying all over the place and I said I HAVE TO HAVE ONE

I may try to sneak a few flights in just stay good and high where cant be seen or heard and most def not fly over the track.

Be careful, man. it would suck to miss the night race..

 

[mikesmiley]

My folks and I flew all the way from California to see the night race at Bristol. My dad is getting old, and we wanted to do something awesome as a family while he still could. And it was worth every penny.

yea its gonna be a blast.
Ill just stay far from the track
I do want a couple shots of the campers outside
pretty sure if I stay way away no one will care or know

wonder if they have those drone catchers

 

[JRUSH311]

I just read through the FAA TFR manual and it says no fly zone goes into effect an hour before and ends an hour after the event. So I should be ok
