From AvHerald.com On Jan 10th 2017 Mozambique's Civil Aviation Authority reported in a press conference in Maputo that they concluded the radome most probably failed as result of a structural failure caused by air flow pressure, contributing factors probably were a defective installation of the...

Most consumer drones log the location and altitude during a flight, but not the complete NEMA string. But the location of the drone is not as important as the location of the ground control points in geomapping. Your recorded drone position error will likely be way outside of the generally...

ADSB is not the panacea that you would assume, for two reasons. First, ADSB-In is not mandated and most manned aircraft will not be able to detect potential traffic conflicts from ADSB-Out equipped aircraft. (ADSB-Out is mandated for all manned aircraft operating within 30-miles of Class B...

Swap the motors. If the problem follows the motor, then your motor is bad. If the problem continues with the new motor, then suspect the ESC. If you suspect the ESC, swap them around. If the problem follows the ESC, then it's probably bad. If not, it could be the controller itself.

... yet there is not one verifiable report of a collision between a small drone and a manned aircraft. Not one. If you have factual knowledge of an aircraft/drone contact then tell me where and when it happened. As of last month there is not a single report in the FAA Accident and Incident...

From an SFX point of view, it's pretty well done. As a drone advocate, this sequence will be a disaster as people will see it as factual. Not as an SFX production. There have been more than a million hours of flight of small drones, yet there is not one verifiable report of a collision between...

You completely missed my point. "If it's already illegal - why do you need a new law?" Jamming devices and disabling a drone are violations of federal law and the Governor cannot grant clemency or immunization for a state employee violating federal law. Interfering with firefighters is...

What? There's no laws that already make interfering with a firefighter a violation? Seriously, if someone is caught flying a drone that interferes with firefighting efforts, then use existing laws to prosecute them. Putting up yet another "no trespassing" sign only keeps out the people who...
