Flying Inspire 2 inside a hockey arena!

[White Airwolf]

Anyone know the best settings to fly inside a hockey arena both above the ice and near the rafters?
Should the bottom sensors be turned off and fly, obviously, with GPS turned off?
Do the FAA or TC have any jurisdiction indoors in such a venue? Thanks

I would think it’s similar to how you might test experimental aircraft in a controlled environments, should be fine. It’s private airspace if you have a structure encapsulating it?

Are you not in Australia?
What's the FAA got to do with it?

I’m in Canada, hence TC (Transport Canada) and I sometimes go to the states hence FAA. Any suggestions to my question?

If you look at the TC's SFOC staff instruction documents they regulate indoor flight if it is a public venue. If it is a closed set with everyone involved and safety briefed then then no.

Are you a commercial flyer or a hobbyist?

Both but mainly commercial

Commercial!

So as a commercial flyer you'll need to meet their requirements. Try to search for drone laws in that certain area or consult one authorized person in that area.

So same comment for you mate As a commercial flyer, you'll need to meet their requirements or directly consult one authorized person in that area.

I've been down this road for basketball and couldn't get permission and insurance wouldn't cover an accident. That's why they use RC Blimps indoors. Much safer.

If it is then i wouldn't fly there

I know this isn't the point, but flying over all those people with all those invisible obstacles like wire and cables, etc., I would fly something MUCH lighter like a Mavic Pro. Yes, you'll take a hit cinematically, but there's no way I'd feel safe flying an I2 right over that many people - especially considering the dubious flight record of those beasts. And I consider myself to be a pretty **** good pilot.

I know if *I* had to go to court, I would definitely want to show the judge a Mavic Pro and NOT an Inspire 2. THAT's for sure.

Just my 2 cents.
