I guess that nobody figures out that it is AGL. If it is like regular flying it is always agl not mean sea level. Where is your common sense There does not have to be any specifics. If you can't figure it out that is agl you people have a problem. Don't try to make a loophole.to get out of registering your drone
Half right.
I posted my story twice already on this board so I won't repeat my story. Suffice to say.. here's the scenario:
I am taking off from a house on a hill overlooking Pacific ocean. The house is about 650 feet above sea level.
I flew up about 150 feet AGL from the house and head out to ocean to take some video of the coast line and etc.
So.. technically by the time I get down to the coast line, I am 800 feet AGL right? At that point, I don't even know if I trust the altitude reading of my Phantom (and the answer is you shouldn't as I end up crashing into side of the hill about 150 feet below ground level where I took off from (a net lost of 300 feet from flying to ocean and back).
