tonyfsu21 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 A true beauty. PS: Yes it’s perfectly legal for me to fly my drone right over her & take pictures to my hearts content.

mworkman Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 She's a monster. Were you flying your drone over the Allure when she went out 25 Feb 18? We had one hovering over us as we left port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a drone owner but 10 drones jockeying for position seems like an invitation for a collision and loss of drone, potentially falling onto the ship. Is that a real fear or do you folks find ways to fly the friendly skies together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 There’s plenty of room for us all. I’ve never felt the airspace was crowded up. The Mavic Pro is slightly bigger then a plastic water bottle so it’s not taking up much space buzzing around. RestingBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I'd assume a drone owner would practice before attempting this. Also, the DJI drones have a "fly home" feature, if I'm not mistaken.

They have redundant flight systems and a multitude of obstacle avoidance systems onboard. You have to be a major F@ckup to crash one these days. There is not a high likelyhood of a crash or failure.

RBRSKI Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 So my son is a drone pilot and is in the process of getting his FAA Part 107 certifications and noticed that FLL was in the background in some of the pictures. And according to him flying so close to a major airport (within 5 miles) is unauthorized unless you received ATC clearance. Thoughts from those who are drone pilots?

The DJI map will show you it’s within the 5mi radius but not in the “red restricted airspace”. Not necessary to call ATC, besides, it’s literally the backyard of my home and I fly over the coast guard vessels every weekend. They wave at me!

This weekend I will fly by the USCG cutter and take a pic of them waving for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
