    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    167 is no longer applicable; however, If you were to fall foul of the police (they prosecute, not the caa) then I would expect that you would be prosecuted under 167 section 5 In this article ‘a small unmanned surveillance aircraft’ means a small unmanned aircraft which is equipped to undertake...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    CAP722 is just a guidance document... but you would be well advised to consider it to be a 'minimum operating standard'. It's important to read & understand it but you should always consider above all else, that visible safety is the most important guide through any ambiguity. When reading the...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    The bottom line here rich146 is that without a PfCO you are not permitted to fly your aircraft within 150m of any built-up area and you are not permitted to fly within 50m of any structures or persons that are not fully complicit with the flight. Would a company site ... Yes, the buildings...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    being able to put it on a scalable map would have given me the opportunity to mark it up and check the airspace, public rights of way etc.

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    That is nonsense! The ANO governs airspace only and doesn't differentiate based on land ownership. There are other rules that govern people's right to privacy, trespass etc. but you would have to be a proper muppet to fall foul of them, common sense & common decency should be enough to keep you...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    If you were told that an isolated farm track constitutes a congested area then you were misinformed. If that statement came from a training provider then you should not train with them. It seems that most people don't bother reading all the relevant materials in CAP 393 (LAW); here is a list of...

    UK The dreaded "congested area"

    A lonely farm track is not a congested area! Take a look at the ANO 2016 SCHEDULE 1 Article 2 INTERPRETATION (page 124) “Congested area” in relation to a city, town or settlement, means any area which is substantially used for residential, industrial, commercial or recreational purposes;

    2s interval setting for timelapse JPG photos missing in DJI Go app?

    The problem i am seeing is nothing to do with the camera's ability to write to the SD card. (I'm using an X5 not an X3.) If i sit and manually take a photo every second then I end up with 55 photos a minute (probably because I'm not keying as accurately as I should) If i set UgCS to take a photo...

    2s interval setting for timelapse JPG photos missing in DJI Go app?

    I raised this issue with DJI today ... I've been told to expect an email on the topic within 48hrs but I've been here before with DJI and even if i get the email it will no doubt be another useless off-topic reply. Did you get anywhere with this 'tonidavid5' ?

    Thanks... but I'm looking for some evidence to support that... I have an OSC application being considered and i have included references to those satellite systems but i'm still coming up short with supporting evidence just in case i'm challenged. The annoying thing is that I wouldnt have...
