I wonder what are the differences between different users and how to achieve for example "Hobbyist" or "student pilot" after beginner?

This forum is nice to waste time because you get points, can apply them to anything dji has in the store. The labels are related to post count. There was a promotion earlier in the year where they gave points out to helpful members too.

We need more girls on this forum. There's some good regulars that have been banned because of a troll named Matt and Riley. He's a uk troll, possibly Irish but not sure. Baits and once you call him an idiot you get banned, so watch out for that.

interesting insight- thank you! so the more active one in the forum the higher the Rank?

Yep, we're just like you. I have no idea how I got to second officer so fast. Went beginner > student > intern > second officer. Think hallmark went from first officer to captain in like a month, but he got banned by a troll too! Dji let him back.

The flight distance is done by syncing the go app. It doesn't work if you fly litchi.

Your flight distance is sharp:))

So the higher your ranking, the more irrelevant posts you have made here, and a good sign you possibly whinge a lot about trolls.

good to know info right there.

how do you sync the go app to update my flight distance?

you have a cloud button up in the right corner in DJI go app...hit Menu->Flight Record and there it is

If you are looking for advice look to the users who have a large flight distance instead of a high rank.
Big number = much flight experience,

Not necessarily true, I fly 24 hours throughout southern Republic of Ireland doing wind turbine inspection survey and none of these hours are racked up here.

wow Flight distance: 1337137! how many hours is that?

Its 105hrs, 1300km distance (800miles) but less than half my hrs as I have other UAVs that don't use DJI GO.

Point taken, you do have a really neat machine to fly for work.

I agree: the flight distance, while a nice bragging point, isn't necessarily evidence for or against expertise. In addition to your example of flying non-DJI aircraft, the distance also discounts flying done by people who use Litchi (e.g., thehippoz with his grand total of 7 meters), not to mention anyone who might not bother to synchronize their flights for whatever reason.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least a couple of people on this forum whose flight mileage isn't high and who don't post frequently but who are very knowledgeable, so the correlation between flight distance, "title", and knowledge is a very weak one at best.

How long has this flight distance thing been around? Less than half of my distance is even reported on the forum.

People who are not cool and egg you on to get you to blow up and then get you banned.  Just be kind and courteous and you should be immune to the ban hammer.

Note:  I liked the guys that got banned.  They were cool an informative.  It is what it is.

thank you !!!

No idea, what the difference is

Keeping it remotely on topic all that was said by "DroneFlying" , "thehippoz" and "Xman1" is true From what I read from passed posts these people have a lot of knowledge on this form .
"HallMark007" is the very helpful and is, Part 107 certified compliant Pilot his postings are accurate as are his solutions.
Points I see are earned as explained from the above people and would be my goto people if or when I ever have a problem .
What I didt no was points can be earned by  Reporting a thread/post that is breaking forum rules +-3  
The person  Matt-and-Riley I have seen on other forums postings about him being here I cant help but notice is the only arrogant poster in most of the DJI forum topics.
"  You know what happens to whiney little snowflakes around here. Keep it remotely on topic or keep it shut" his avatar I find interesting .
     

I dont even know too how people got these amount of points in the forum

The titles means nothing.. I haven't been a student pilot since the 80's and alway buy from my local hobby shop, If i bought direct I would be a flight instructor. Why don't they add that since they are all currently registered to me.

I have 1,002,735ft and 29 hours in the go 4 app. I can't imaging adding my race drones and older blade, P2 and F450 to this. maybe it converted to meters but thats 306655 and it currently says 287232?


After all the security talk I deleted my flight logs and will no longer update. I do know downloading NoRoot Firewall has opened my eyes and I can see that the DJI go 4 app makes 100's amd 100's of transmits of data from my phone to a ton of IP address and knowbody knows why. I blocked them with the firewall app and hope this gets resolved ASAP.

Undate: The new app release today 8/9/17 still has this issue.

i think the levels are obtained through points achieved from participation in the forum. Flight distance is shown but do not seem to have a bearing on rank advancement except in so far as the more you have flown the more experiance you have gained and therefore better positioned to participate constructively and thereby improving your personal knowlage and points score. The titles/ranks are simply labels for benchmarks achieved/passed

"The titles means nothing.. I haven't been a student pilot since the 80's."

I agree 100%, I spend more time flying these:



Than I do air driving DJI's.

BTW: Anyone know what DJI stands for?

Thanks! Always Wondered.

Is there somewhere in your profile where flight distance can be found? Or is it only accessible through the Go app?

And yes, I have synced my flight records. The Go app shows I have a distance of 350140 but I see nothing under my profile

I'm told if you attain "Dark Overlord" status you are able to vaporize other members by mere thought.

Pshaw!  I can already do that (if you consider that the 'mere thought' is engaged in pushing a button...).

The flight distance is done by syncing the go app. It doesn't work if you fly litchi.

"The flight distance is done by syncing the go app."

Hmmm, points for Flight Distance.  Going to have to sneak my Mavic Pro on board next ISS deliver module.  Be racking up some serious miles!

I think there should be some correlation of levels with flight distance.  Flight distance implies experience with real life flight time.  I know when I was completing my instrument rating, I racked up a bunch of time in practice.  Then when I would go out flying for fun my flying skills were much more improved.  You get expereince in two areas with increased flight time.  First experience in flight and second, experience in problem solving when issues are encountered.  Pure level setting by spending an inordinate amount of time in a forum does not purely qualify you as experienced.  Although I will admit some of the best posters I follow here display low distance experience.
