    USA Experience flying in DJI "Restricted Zone"?

    My experiences with both yellow and red no fly zones is that the system is not reliable. These jobs are usually very time sensitive and may require direct coordination with local ATC during the operation. Not knowing for sure if the bird is going to fly or what it will do once airborne is...

    UK Questionable Job

    I had a situation with a basic Real Estate shoot involving an empty lot in a messy divorce settlement with an angry ex who lived nearby who aggressively refused my team access even though he did not own the property. The agent then asked for it to shot from a distance down the road in an...
