    USA Class E Transition Area

    Well, ForeFlight can help with some of this I believe, but it ain't exactly cheap. (Though if you're boring holes in the sky in a Cessna, I suppose the subscription fee is a pretty minor chunk of your flying budget...)

    USA Is it possible to override DJI Software settings?

    Access to a no-fly zone can be handled through contacting DJI and getting a custom version of the app that bypasses the NFZ code, but for now the height thing is build into the bird. Is it part of the A3-series controllers as well, like the Matrices and such?

    Proposed legislation in Washington State

    When writing to your local rep, I wonder if it would be worth enclosing a couple of photos that show what kind of detail you can get at various altitudes; that might show that it's difficult to pick out faces and things at even mild altitudes.

    USA What advertising term showing we're legal

    There's no distinction by the FAA; obviously you aren't automatically rated for manned aircraft flight (unless you already were and the 107 is an add-on), but you and a 747 captain are both licensed pilots as far as the FAA is concerned. Granted, they probably won't let you hang out in the...

    DJI Inspire vs Phantom 4?

    The Mavic hasn't started shipping yet so the only ones who have flown it are reviewers who had early access. It should begin shipping within the next couple of weeks, hopefully. MavicPilots.com is now up and running and you can likely get any Mavic-specific questions answered there.

    Congratulations DJI you just killed the Phantom!!

    Remember, the Karma a) fits into the rest of GoPro's extensive collection of mounts and brackets and so on and b) comes with both a detachable camera and a detachable Osmo equivalent, for the same price as a Mavic (roughly). I think GoPro will still be successful with the Karma but at this point...

    USA Why not a pilot certificate?

    I sent a note to the Foreflight team asking if they would consider offering a less-expensive sUAS subscription that maybe didn't include all the IFR stuff or other things that don't really apply to us but still included up-to-date charts and diagrams and so on, and they wrote back that they'll...

    USA Any one get their 107 Certificate?

    Will the number change between the temporary certificate and the permanent one?

    USA Class B airspace SFC-100 Beyond 5SM..

    My understanding is that it's 5 miles from whatever the FAA considers the centerpoint of the airport? The new rules are a little confusing. I actually spoke to a couple of controllers at Paine Field this morning (they were having a seminar on TRACON and some general changes around the area) and...
