    N/A Anyone try the Oculus Quest yet?

    Part 107 for Part 61 cert holders w.r.t. flight review

    "Part 107.61 - Eligibility" says you have to either pass the 107 written test or: And §61.56 says: I interpret this to mean that you're good to go since you satisfy the requirements of a flight review with your additional IR rating. The 107 information and quiz isn't hard, but it's specific...

    Tracking/Identification of large UAV testing (non military)

    That's some crazy stuff. You could PM me a rough location around where it's happening and I can look into it but I'm not sure you'd be able to find much unless you follow them back to where they took off from. Drones that have waivers to fly at night are required to have a white strobe light...

    Tracking/Identification of large UAV testing (non military)

    And as for ADS-B, only a super small handful of commercial grade drones even have ADS-B in, much less out. ADS-B out would be more likely on a delivery drone company or a company trying to fly beyond visual line of sight with the approval of the FAA. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ This site...

    Tracking/Identification of large UAV testing (non military)

    I would give https://skyvector.com/ a shot, under "Layers" turn on DROTAMs (drone notices to airmen). If its a larger scale operation and civilian, chances are there will be a zone they created that's visible there. That would give you a specific NOTAM number that you might be able to look up or...

    NA - Found out I have a Phobia that I assumed everyone had

    I should also mention that I didn't realize I had this fear until I went to the Queen Mary museum and saw the prop hanging in the open water with underwater lights. I noped the heck out of that room so fast...

    Bad drones, bad drones,

    Use case aside, I'd love to fly that M300 with the Zenmuse H20. :drool: I've flown one of the Skydio drones they talk about in the article and while I'm impressed (and somewhat uncomfortable) with their auto-flight pathing and automatic collision avoidance, I've dealt with people watching them...

    Think the FAA got it right this time

    I should also mention from my previous comment that you're allowed to fly up to 400 ft above a building or structure if you're within 400 ft of it horizontally. The exception is that the LAANC approval altitudes (in controlled airspace) are absolute and not in relation to the building height. If...

    Think the FAA got it right this time

    The DJI Mavic 2/Phantom 4/most other DJI products have a barometer onboard that records initial takeoff pressure for "0" and measures height based on that. Flying below the initial takeoff point will give you negative numbers on the display. The Phantom 4 Pro has sonar underneath the aircraft...

    Think the FAA got it right this time

    I left comments on that video mentioning a comment from his skyscraper video where he claimed to have a Part 107 certificate. Wouldn't you know it, the comment where he said that has been deleted from that video. Definitely not guilty though. What a tool.

    Think the FAA got it right this time

    This guy is a tool. Nothing but excuses and lies. And he's asking the people in the comments calling him out for his BS to "send him their flight logs". He says he "doesn't know the rules and that they're too hard to understand" yet that he "knows them all now".

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    I think it's something called viral load and having more virus exposure make your case of COVID worse. Can't point to a specific source but I've heard it frequently.

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    I'm also young, and also have a low chance of dying from it. I think the problem is that it's been compared to the flu so often that people think that there's no long term effects on you because the flu usually doesn't do that. You get the flu and then you get better and it's a non-event...

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    I also happen to completely agree with this sentiment. Health should not be a political issue, especially during a pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't fun, but I do it because it's not about me or how I feel about it. I like to be out and about as much as the next guy and I'm not doing that either...

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    To be fair, the motto hasn't been "Stop the Spread" - it has been "Slow the Spread". Slow the rate of infection long enough to get vaccines and more understanding of what we're dealing with to combat it properly.
