indeed , its a uncontrolled airspace but it still requires LAANC approval. its hard to fly on this end of the runway with the low flying aircraft and after they are down I sure its going to be worst. so when i read they were closing down for 3 days I went there and asked if i could fly around the area they had no problem with it . Then when I asked a friend of mine to spot for me she was happy to, she has spotted a few times for me. this was the longest distance to date for me, 31/3 miles 1 way, 7 total including return trip. flying in Cinema mode. it was exciting prolly never get another chance to fly here again.
My young nephew and I were flying together a couple of years ago in the Sierra Mountains, I was new to my Air2 and he had logged many Ks on his mini, he fearlessly flew at least a couple of miles from where we were set up, making me very nervous. He had done it before, and was not intimidated by the distance, but I was sure he would lose it. I'm still more cautious than probably I need to be, but I'd rather bring the thing home to fly another day. |
