186ft from where you took off, it looks to me like you were elevated though already? Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to sound accusing in any way just thinking through a scenario, see - what would have happend if a drone had gone through the air intake of one of those jets? plane goes down etc etc, in a court of law I don't suppose us as the drone owners would have a leg to stand on? you'd like to think that those jets (and most craft for that matter) would be higher than 400ft however it gets a bit of a grey area when your elevated. 400ft above sea level or even ground level is hard to work out when your say, on a mountainside 1200ft above sea level eh? And we've all seen rescue helicopters come rolling through at a couple of hundred foot eh. Even greyer is the scenario when your in the middle of nowhere and you take your drone up to 1000ft....2000ft - theres videos all over the net of people doing that and a jet on military manouvers comes screaming through. I love my drone, and I love flying it but I genuinely think that there are going to be some huge changes in the ability to fly them in anything other than controlled areas in the future. Of course that wont stop people flying them too close to airports or structures or people, there are always the idiots that ruin it for all the rest of us. Just food for thought :-)
Are you insinuating I did something I shouldn't have? Its hard to tell your tone from a comment on a forum. You are more than welcome to look at the flight log and reference it back to the video. It is linked a few posts above yours. I never flew more than 186 feet above where I took off from and I didn't fly far from that point. Don't know why you're bringing sea level into it at all. By that logic I was flying at 7000 feet or so and I should be sentenced to death or whatever the FAA thinks is appropriate. |
