The report specifies that FAA restrictions should be raised by Jan 17th. It also mentions an app the FAA offers for airspace information called B4UFLY. However, the app is unavailable pending the debut of new versions. I sleuthed around and found on Reddit that some folks use an app called LAANC to learn about airspace restrictions for their area. https://www.haystack.tv/v/month-northeast-drone-mystery-remains-unsolved?utm_campaign=website_share_video&utm_content=copy_link&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=haystack_website_share

The online community is cool with asynchronous communication and chatting but there is no substitute for live interactions for sharing ideas and questions. After all, we’re social animals. If you’re interested in a live zoom meeting to kick around ideas, introduce yourself or share your stories after passing your part 107, like 👍 this post. I’m sure I can get @Sean McKay Holt to join us to liven things up. Cheers!

Sure, we’re always talking about drones as search tools but what if you’re the searched, and don’t want to be found? This video shows you how. https://youtu.be/Pdy0uxaJl0E?si=NA8rV4cpkurGE942

Q: Anyone have any credible news on whether DJI will be banned from government use? I’m seeing both sides but I’m not sure what’s happening. Our SAR team is being impacted - we’re not buying new DJI drone out of fear, and the drones we have are older than the hills (real safety issues with unsupported hardware and bloating batteries). I don’t want to fly them. Thanks!https://youtu.be/7YoJYgamTuM?si=wRqZiEPFGKMsa6N2
