I don't use the paid version. I can pretty much plan a mission and store all related documents and notes there.

Hey...I am sorry, I don't know it all - it is absolutely a LAANC area. And yes, I do have my Part 107. It's not always cut and dried though. I have never flown over a school since, here in Omaha, Skyward does deliniate them in red as a restricted flight zone the same as a prison or military...

Im using Skyward - It's definitely LAANC but it is good to 400'. When I request the LAANC I get "Part of the requested area overlaps a restricted area, please adjust and resubmit. The school property is outlined and shaded red. A school about 8 blocks away, I was able to submit the LAANC and...

Although, as I go to get the LAANC authorization, it tells me it is, in fact a restricted area. Now what?

Thanks for the clarification. This helps me out. I tend to be overly cautious but I am gaining confidence. I never want to learn the hard way. I did call the school this morning and they had no problems with it so that would apparently be the green light.

I'm on the second time of doing that...it's currently completely depleted so that the I1 won't power up and now I am recharging.

TB48 Battery with 18 cycles - fully charged all cells read 4.34V except 1 which reads 4.13V. It gives the warning that something is wrong with the battery when you first power up and to return and land immediately. Is there a way to save this battery or should I ditch it. I ran it until the...

Thanks!

Newer pilot here and just used skyward for the first time. worked great. This may be a stupid question, but do I still need to notify the airport via a phone call if I have received the LAANC authorization?

Hey Josh! I am also in Omaha - interested in how you got in on an aerial gig. I am interested in something part time, although I do use my Inspire 1 for gigs from time to time.
