3DR's Solo drone can update no-fly zones in real time

[Craig L. Johnson - USMC]

Just F.Y.I

since the update with the no-fly zones for solo. I live on the tail end of a small airport. which no problem.

the first time, I called the number to the airport , that was list in the software to let them know that I would be flying my solo for about 2 hours. I gave the lady my registration number, no problem.

the second time I called a few weeks later, same lady. (this is a very small airport, here outside of Indianapolis, Indiana) the lady told me that I did not have to call her....wow!

i am just trying to do the right thing, follow the rules, and do not get myself into any trouble with anybody.

Cudos to you, Craig! It is good to hear from responsible pilots who care about the integrity of the hobby. Good job.

I'd keep calling anyways so you have a record via phone log. Let her know you appreciate her taking your calls and your following basic drone aviation courtesy.

That is awesome!!! I have been doing the same here in California and have had no issues so far. And in one case I was asked to set my altitude to 100' above ground level or below and be ready to yield to aircrafts. Oh and BTW it was small airfield as well close by.
