I just got these new diamond-tip propeller blades for my drone and was flying it about 200 feet agl when something went wrong and my drone fell out of the sky. It came down like a comet! As it went past a building, its blades dug deep into the marble surface, leaving huge gouges all the way to the ground. When it hit, it left a crater five feet deep! You can see why it's so important that we have these regulations in place, because that happened three more times that day!

So a waiver to some regulation that is a bandaid for over-regulation - that also adds a little bit of extra regulation in the waiver? Nice.

Hello Greg et al. I'm a proud Pilot Institute grad (section 107) and the owner of an Avata 2. I purchased a Vifly anti-collision beacon, so I could apply for a waiver to fly over people. I so applied and was rejected. My application was broad seeking a general waiver of the rule in Section G airspace anywhere. The rejection letter: " In particular, your request did not describe your operation and it did not provide an explanation of how the operation would be safely conducted." Do you have any further guidance on the level of detail the FAA will require for this waiver? Thanks. Jeff

@socalifornia1628 Месяц назад

I see the StartRC guards for the Mini 3 Pro are much lighter, and provide less prop protection than some of the others. Specifically, the top of the props remain exposed. Any idea how the FAA will look at this? Would the StartRC qualify for this waiver? And thanks for the update!

@PilotInstitute Месяц назад

The FAA won’t look at what product you use. They just want you to put props on that prevent lacerations. It’s up to you, as the pilot, to decide if this is enough protection and if it exposes you to more or less liability.

@CrobraStrike27 Месяц назад

@PilotInstitute Important question: Is this JUST the weight of the drones, or any weight upon takeoff similar to what other regs measure? This is important because, doing the math, the Avata 2 PLUS the firehouse strobe light would just push it over that 399 gram limit. Not to mention the weight of the velcro webbing used to attach the strobe. Seems like that would JUST push it over the edge which is just horrible. Fortunately I also have a mini 4 pro which, doing the math, puts it at 390 grams with all the necessities mounted. That is, pro battery for RID activation, both prop guards, and the strobe with 8 grams to spare. However, I'm fortunate, and some others here only have the Avata 2. Hopefully they don't have to go having plastic off for the weight.

The FAA is supposed to update the website with the new PDF but it’s not ready yet. What did you get denied for?

@@PilotInstitute I filed a waiver request for exception to 107.39 and 107.145 for my drones under 400 grams AUW, having prop guards, anti-collision lights, and RID. The waiver was denied same day. I put the date as far out as it would let me, and put the location as "all uncontrolled airspace, and controlled airspace up to UASFM limits, with 399 feet being the max altitude, with LAANC approval where applicable"

Did you answer the questions the FAA asked for that waiver?

@@PilotInstitute I mean I thought I did, but evidently they didn't think I did. It's kind of strange that the requirements are as vague as they are. I read Vic's article about it as well which suggested keeping the explanation under a hundred words, but I'm not sure how to keep it brief and cover all of the topics. Just seems really subjective.

For part 107 only?? Or is this for hobbyist also

@PilotInstitute Месяц назад

Part 107 only.

@tomrehkopf9793 13 дней назад

All well and good, but this is only for Part 107 pilots, right? It would be VERY helpful to state this up front, this is not obvious to those of us who don’t do this every day. Thanks!

@PilotInstitute 13 дней назад

Part 107 only, indeed.

That is a lot of weight, the altitude will be considerably low, it will be cargo weight.

EDIT: Already answered earlier on 5/29/24. Scroll down. Greg, are you aware of any requirements for the type of prop guards? The DJI prop guards for the Mini 4 Pro completely encircle all four blades. Other products , including the STARTRC, leave gaps, between the two front props and between the two rear props.
