DJI reps will always give you a Legally correct answer. Because it is part of their job to make sure people are following FAA rules. but it doesnt mean its the only way to do it. Download the DJI Fly App on a spare phone/tablet of your choice so long as it supports it. phone or tablet does NOT need to be connected to the internet or any mobile data. as long as it has its own GPS module. (which pretty much all handheld device has GPS module now a days). Connect your goggles to the DJI Fly App, let it recognize the GPS, take off, let it hover, unplug the goggles from the phone/tablet, and fly away. Yes there will be a "RID error" showing on the screen, but you can still fly normally. but if you do land/crash, you have to connect to the phone/tablet again to take off.
After trying to fly multiple times with a phone plugged in, I gave up. I rolled the Avata back to the non-Fascist firmware. I get a mismatched firmware caution message, but fly without a stupid phone plugged into my head. Bite me, feds. If anyone wants to roll back, it’s fairly easy - just do a internet search. |
