Steve Thanks. I agree that flying near a towered airport is a whole different experience. Fortunately most of my flying is around non-towered fields in Class G airspace. It appears in my situation, once I am certified, I don't need to contact anyone to fly. Having a radio to keep track of...

Dave, Thanks. Glad to hear someone agrees with my interpretation :) I'm hoping to pass my exam on Wednesday and get my certification as soon as the FAA will allow. I'm beginning to just stare at the study info rather than read it.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a reference for the 5 mile rule? My thought process is that 107 goes into effect on Monday and at that time 5.8.1 is valid. My local airport is 4.7 miles from my home and is in class G hate to have to tell them every time I fly. They would get tired of hearing...

working on studying for my PIC exam. Looking at Part 107 5.8.1 it would appear that we do not have to notify an airport located in Class G airspace of operations any longer. Thus eliminating the infamous 5 mile rule. Does anyone have thoughts on this? I can certainly appreciate that notifying a...

Thanks. That is the sort of answer I was looking for. I wanted a way to communicate the situation to the "casual" client who asks if we can show their whole property in on photo. In our heavily wooded State if people are looking to show all the features of a property you often have to be...

Thanks for the quick reply and great answer. I should have been a bit more forthcoming. I get a reasonable number of calls from residential property owners who have 10-20+ acres and their first question is usually can you get the whole property in? My typical response is, probably not...

Not good at math. Expect someone can work this out in their sleep. Question is if I was going to photograph a 20 acre parcel. Including the whole parcel in one photograph how high would I have to be with my Inspire 1 (original)? Assumptions: Parcel is square and parcel is flat. You are...

I'm having upgrade problems also. Downloaded .bin file and placed on card. Put in x5 turned on inspire. No updating taking place. Blinking yellow light if I don't have RC turned on. ATTI mode if I do (I'm inside). Tried new download and different card but doesn't kick into update mode when...

So if you are using a two operator setup. Do you calibrate separately with both devices? Does it then work no matter which device you focus with?
