Me too. We are waiting on delivery of M600 with Z3 and XT this week. Our night waiver was granted 3 months back. Hope to go operational by next week.

 

[boefinator]

Good deal. We are running 2 P4Ps in dual operator configuration for training right now. Will be getting 2 Matrice 210s with Z30 and XT 640 in the next couple months, that 600 is a beast!

Thanks for the info- very helpful. Now, what kind of anti-collision lights are available / practical for the Inspire 1 that are visible from 3SM?

~> I use Strobes self contained lights that meet the requirements.
Self contained in that they have USB battery recharge built in.
(do not remove plastic)
Bought mine for $13 . 99 each .
Dint be fooled by more expensive ones. Ready made RC I believe was the site I used.

[licensed pilot]

A how to?

 

[William Gaddy]

A how to?

Howto: Download Airmap app on your ipad/iphone/android, follow the bouncing ball, and pray that they have added LAANC to your desired area. Otherwise you're still in the FAA portal ghetto.

 

[Bigdz]

Sure, i will screen record and upload video
Soon as i get home[/QUOTE]

thank you! Is there a fee for non Air map users?

It was a free app for me, but I have not completed a full LAANC authorization in it yet, so I don't know if you run into a paywall.

 

[Bigdz]

no, there is no fee. just register with them, input license number, aircrafts, and all registrations... hopefully this works and you can see, quick demo IMG_0302.TRIM.MOV

I'm in NY/NJ/PA/San Francisco, and I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them to add LAANC for KLGA, KJFK, KEWR (should be renamed to KLOL for authorizations), and KSFO. This affects me less than others. I'll be stuck in the portal ghetto for quite a while methinks.

the whole portal thingy is BS... hopefully other airports join in, but like you said." we could be holding our breaths..."

It HAS been getting better for routine requests lately. But, yes, it smells of healthcare.gov when they first rolled that out -- a raging fustercluck. Large area waivers and combo's still go into the manual pile, and by the time they get back to you, it'll be Indiana Jones finding you guarding the Holy Grail for 1000 years to tell you "rejected"

It's not in the Airmap nor Skyward apps AFAICT... the FAA maintains a poorly maintained list at FAA Facilities participating in LAANC Initial Prototype Evaluation – Fall 2017

 

[William Gaddy]

I'll note that we're well into Winter 2017, so I imagine a lot of people sleeping in squeaky heavy-as-a-dumptruck steel govt issue chairs with their feet on their desks in their dingy cublices. "Ah f-it. The private sector will handle it now"
