Possibly - I Could have explained it a little better. Not publishing the List more regularly, last one in August, means that a potential client does not see your company on the CAA list and so does not bother to contact you for a potential job. I should have used "pro-active" instead of commercial.

I wonder why the CAA cannot update their list more frequently! Potential clients look at this list and if the info is incorrect then they look to someone else - really poor commercial support from the CAA and not good enough!

I changed the name of my company 3 months ago and notified the CAA. The new name is still not listed but the old one is. I have asked the CAA via e-mail to confirm acceptance of my request but get a standard reply with no specific response to my request. Does anyone know of a more positive way...

Editor I agree with you. I would go for 50 metres above the highest roof top along the side of the roof so that if it did fall out of the sky it would bounce and fall into the garden area not into the road ( where there might be cars! ) I would look along the garden row first because if there...

A congested area is defined in the ANO Art 255 as any area in relation to a city, town or settlement which is substantially used for residential, industrial, commercial or recreational purposes. Substantially is for the most part - you would have to interpret that for yourself. Does that help?

IN-2014/190 para 6.1.3 the standard CAA permission for SUA/SUSA in the 7 kg or less category gives an automatic exemption that allows flight within congested areas to within 50 metres of persons, structures etc. Interestingly para 6.1.4 states that in any circumstances or weight category, it...

Thanks Mark134 - in the end I did not bring my Inspire with me as it seemd that there were restrictions which would have stopped me filmomg. Next time maybe.

Hi Guys - I will be visiting Melbourne 10 - 16 Dec and Sydney 16 - 19 Dec. I am a pilot on a Private Jet coming in from Kuala Lumpur and would like to know how I would stand for flying and filming my Inspire 1 outside of but around Melbourne. Just wanting to get some interesting film that I...

what is a sticky and how do i get to them?

Aviator and Scotflieger - thanks for your replies. I will stop being a dummy and remember info I read before and avoid silly questions.

Perfect. However, the new options for POI, CL etc should be on a drop down menu between the satellites and the central Aircraft State windows. I saw, temporarliy, on one of my mini iPads the choices available then it disappeared! The window never appeared on my other iPad after the update. Any...

When I updated to 1.0.4.010 I had the same issues as Busch, got the VW beep! and followed the advice from Scotflieger. I too had to remove 1.0.03 and all is now good except I do not have the IOC options for POI, CL, HL etc. I saw it temporarily on one of my RC but after the update but now...

With the latest firmware I upgraded AC to 1.4, checked the RC was 1.3 and overall status was normal. powered everthing down then decided to update a battery and the AC started loud double and a continuous D-D-D-D-D-Dmand the camera sits at an angle. Meassages on the screen are MC connection to...

Thank you - I will look and see what transpires.

I entered the flight data mode, downloaded 37 files and then tried to see what they contained. The recommended method to open the files was with VLC. I tried but nothing opens. The files are numbered FLY00X.DAT Can anyone tell me how to read the files and what data is on them?
