Working on it! When the time comes, will a DJI Fly screen grab be acceptable? (AirData is a little behind because it is missing approx 5 logs)

Your average flight is 4km :astonished:

I guess you’re saying that’s quite far? I do like holding up on the right stick. I think I’ll wait til AirData catches up to 500km if my stats seem unusual.

But I only average 15km/h. That probably seems slow to you :grin:

Yes. Based on your average flight, you are flying 4km, compared to me … that’s a lot more distance per flight. I’ve just past the 500km marker, but have done more than 3 times as many flights … meaning my flights, on average, are 3 times shorter (distance) than yours.

It’s neither here nor there at the end of the day. But it’s a stat. And I love stats :wink:

I really need to remember what 500km is in miles.

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Was able to park and fly from the location pinned.
was able to get some good shots of the lifeboat station, theferry terminal and Fleetwood in general

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 27/02/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Litchi, circular FAST missions. Won’t take long. :wink:

179

Blast up and down morecambe seafront should take 10 min or less in sports mode. Thats what 6k took today :rofl:

This is where Litchi helps … you can have a kip whilst it’s clocking up the km.

There’s nothing in the legislation that says your eyes actually have to be open to conform to VLOS. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’d be wary flying here at certain times of year - there’s often a pair of peregrine falcons nesting on it, and they can be a bit aggressive if they have chicks in the nest :wink:
