No one is suggesting adding airplanes height info to the on screen display. I agree it would be clutter and too much info to process. What I'm saying is that the DJI Drone should have the capability of determining distance using height easily and using logic as to when to show the warning based on whether the plane has a possibility of being a threat. This would reduce unnecessary clutter on the screen as it would reduce the amount of times the Aircraft Warning message shows up. It would also make it so that you know that if you see the Aircraft Warning message, you know that it could be an issue. You don't have to 2nd guess the message or use your eyes and ears to find the airplane for yourself before taking action.
I really can't agree. Determining that isn't something we want DJI doing for us - we're responsible for threat assessment in our flights, not DJI. They already take away enough control from the pilot with the NFZs, altitude limits and geofencing, I don't think it's a good idea to encourage them to do more of that, because they probably will. Which will just make the drone even harder to use than it already is.
Its our job as pilots to "see and avoid", and determine threat levels of other aircraft in our area, not DJI or ADS-B. ADS-B is just a tool for us. I think the initial warning is sufficient right now to alert the pilot and spotter, so we can begin assessing the situation ourselves.
So I don't really know a good solution to the altitude reporting that's not overly intrusive on the real estate in the goggles. I think for now the warning as-is is acceptable, until a good user interface that shows altitude is come up with. |
