New CAA news article - avoiding obstacles

Thought you may find this of interest … how not to crash

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch … “how not to be seen” …

“This is Ximi - he is trying not to crash …”

*ploughs drone right into a tree crash!!##whollop

“… Ximi has learned the first lesson of how not to crash … don’t hit anything”

have the CAA got enough other important tasks to do than wasting their time creating pamphlets explaining the blinking obvious!!!

rant moment… I stumbled across the Australian equivalent of the CAA as I was curious how they deal with BVLOS (I was watching a YouTube from Amy Crighton I think it was and she mentioned paying the Australian CAA $3k AUD a year for some licence or permission about BVLOS…)

had a bit of an interesting read, thought well we are the dogs dangly bits in the aviation world… leading the way… back the the CAA… nope

… too busy doing an annual fettling of the drone code / open category rules to finish off the rest of it like the certified category.

(I was thinking if there was a legal way one could do FPV without an observer and how I may obtain those qualifications and competencies … no… no roadmap… but heres another pamphlet of carp!)

So they want me to fill in a Mandatory Occurrence Report if my mini 3 pro hits the rose bush in my garden whilst landing / taking off ? I hardly think so. :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Where’s the operator ID on the Mini 3 drone? (page 3).

On the nearside :see_no_evil:
