Drone News: DJI Geofencing, DJI Flip, Drone Hits Plane, Forged Part 107, & New Bill for Drone Use

Former wildland firefighter here. The damage of a drone strike to aircraft, the firefighting effort, and to the UA community cannot be repeated too many times. But on that subject, a good story for here would be the work that firefighting agencies are doing to incorporate drones in their efforts. In those pre-satellite days, I used to map fire perimeters with a plastic-covered map and a grease pen, getting a helicopter or light aircraft flight ever few days. Very expensive. I envy the gift that drones, with FLIR and LIDAR, can be for mapping and intelligence gathering on the fireline.

I personally love the removal of geofencing. I work around a lot of airports and have had troubles unlocking the geofence even though I had FAA approval. This is just one less thing to worry about for me though I understand the concerns.

[@BradShimkus_DigitalBrad]

I like the removal of not being able to fly inrestricted areas. I'm by a military base and when the tower is closed, it's class E airspace, which should allow me to fly. But prior to this release, there was an area that is 0 feet in the restricted area, that I still cannot fly in when it's Class E. This will fix that.

[@MysticalDragon73]

Thank goodness dji finally went to common sense. I would have been happy for this to be an option for 107 operators. It was always absurd to get an approval from the FAA and then have to get one from dji. Worse yet was when the faa didnt care about an area, yet dji had it geofenced off. I frequently fly in an area like that for work. The faa allows me to fly without restrictions. Yet dji mandated that i get approval. I finally got a year-long approval from dji when i showed them the lack of restrictions from the faa. I can not wait to update my drones and ensure this is gone. It will make our operations so much easier.

[@Talon17]

Yea DJI was a little overzealous with their geofencing. They geofenced around every airport and helopad, even if it is all Class G airspace.

[@zeph3070]

I'm surprised they didn't go with a happy medium at first though with the press they could've antisipated. SImply have a system that verrifies if you're operating under Part 107 which would then allow you to by pass the locks when ever you deem responsible, as you're under Part 107. Otherwise, those areas are locked off

[@MysticalDragon73]

@zeph3070 honestly I would have been totally happy with that. I was forced to get my 107 (did it through pilot instutute since his videos had been so helpful) since I fly for a non profit documenting hazard on rivers and their clearing. It was absurd that dji restricted us so much, often in areas the faa didn't care. All that should have been needed is enter our 107 certificate number then all geozones dropped with warnings to acknowledge when in or near restricted areas.

[@bwmcelya]

Thank you Greg. News I can use. That’s a great new word you invented: Falsifly. It works. Contact dictionaries to add that one. Well, that forger fellow makes it a bit harder on the rest of us. Re 107: I scanned and printed a copy which stays with my flight gear. The original stays in the firesafe, since FAA will not replace it. Fly safe, fly often, into the wild blue yonder. I look forward to your reports. Since a drone flying more than 10’ AGL is in the NAS, drone providers should be required to display bold disclaimers on the box and in advertisements about licensing requirements. That’s the case in other areas, firearms for instance.

[@TerryLee-r9d]

wrong. MAny other companies sell decent drones. Autel used to and you can still find the Nano+ and Lite series for sale. Older drones, but the Lite+ beat the Air2S every single day. Since Autel, SkyDio (who led the charge against ALL Chinese drones), and others went Enterprise only - so few chocies of drones with decent capabilities. I don't consider HolyStone, FIMI, Exo and others in the same league as DJI; but they seem to be improving. DJI is not the end all and if Congress, FCC, Commerce, and Customs have their way - you might not get a DJI drone in the future.

[@OriginalSniperLol]

yoo. earlier this month i tried flying in Anaheim but my area was engulfed with the no fly zone and I assumed it was because of the fires. Now it’s removed and displayed as “Enhanced-Warning Zone” and Im able to fly again in Anaheim. Great to know that the map is synced to the FAA.

Hello from Sugar Land 🇨🇱

[@brightpathvideo]

If they have the drone can't they use the serial number to arrest the owner/pilot?

[@TootTootUSA]

It's very likely DJI has all sorts of information that can be looked up with a serial number. I'd be curious about how ready they are to work with US law enforcement considering how hostile the US government has been to the company and how hostile the Chinese government is towards the US and whether they'd have to be forced with a warrant/subpoena.

[@PilotInstitute]

It's a tricky thing because the US Government has been mad at DJI for allegedly collecting user data. But now they would likely be very happy if DJI could tell them who the user is. DJI turned off the functionality that allowed DJI users to save their own flights. Also, you can activate DJI with a fake name and email if you want to, and federal registration for recreational drones under 250g is not required, so this person could technically never be identified. But I'm sure the US Government subpoena'd DJI for whatever info they may have.

[@TerryLee-r9d]

DJI has the info - yet the old way of getting that info from DJI was an arduous task. Not easy and took time and effort to get them to comply with the request. RID seemed to be a way of doing that - yet any under 250g drone flown by rec pilots is not required to have RID or be registered with the FAA. Having ALL drones have RID would also help LE / FAA to know the drone is in the area and other specific details that the LE end of RID gives them on the drone. 107's have to have RID, whether it's under 250g or not. How many do - well like all the other rules we ALL fly by - do they and who is going to know at this point. I see A LOT of 107's who supposedly know the rules break many of them. Like flying an FPV with goggles and no spotter or flying where a spotter if they have one could not see the drone. Exactly what does this tell new and old drone pilots who do their very best to stay within the "intent" of the rules - esp VLOS. The FAA knows all of us will exceed VLOS at some point in time and they don't go nuts over it - yet to many fly way beyond and don't care. Even see a lot of new pilots ask questions like - I flew my drone 3 miles down range and lost signal - WHY? DJI says it can fly 5 miles, so why can't fly 3 miles. See videos of people doing rocket mode / etc and when I can't see them, then how do they see and tiny gray speck in the sky. Yes, they may be aware of "where" the drone is and that may be acceptable to the FAA, but is it? We interpret the rules differently, but to maintain less restrictive rules; we as a community have to play by the rules we have. BVLOS is being tested and that is a step in the right direction. Want to cut all that off - then be that cowboy flying 2-3 miles out and then posting it to FB / YT / etc. Does the FAA pay attention - who knows. Can we report these frequent violators? Yes we can, but why should we have to. Simple - don't post your exploits of using goggles and plain to see you don't have a spotter or fly 2-3 miles away in a 5 minute video. BE SMART ABOUT IT!

[@NicLoGalbo]

Couldn't find any info on the flips actual weight. The nano is at 135g so it can still could hold a broadcast module and technically be a cat 1 (correct me if I'm wrong). If the flip is at 249g, than it wouldn't be a cat 1 as the module would put it over 249g unless DJI filled a DOC it couldn't be classed as cat 2 therefore no OOP.

[@PilotInstitute]

The flip is 249g. Ours is 247g.

[@mikesweeney9661]

Is there a pathway to updating the Flysafe data base for those of us on the Go 4 app (older DJI Phantoms, Mavic Pros, and Inspires)?

[@gaberivolta]

I’m curious whether the DJI map update can still be flashed separately or if it’s now only applied during a full system firmware update. In other words, can a Mavic 2 that hasn’t been updated to include Remote ID (RID) still update its maps without installing the RID firmware? Can you get one without having the other?

[@PilotInstitute]

It’s supposed to be a Fly Safe database update which are typically separate from firmware update. Whether they will let you do that and not the other is for you to test.

[@TerryLee-r9d]

and why would you be flying a Mavic 2 without RID?

[@gaberivolta]

[@digibud]

I am confused by the change to the authorization zones. I live in a class D airspace and have updated my drones but they all still show me in an authorization zone at 197 feet. Perhaps I need to remove the DJI authorizations I have in place? (not sure how to do that.) If I go to DJI fly safe web site the "old" authorization zones still appear. This is in the Fairbanks Alaska area.

[@andre1987eph]

Have you updated "Flysafe"?

[@TerryLee-r9d]

it's a new update you have to do. The new version simply tells you, you are in a restricted zone and YOU NEED LAANC approval before flying in that Class airspace. The change does not change what is required by the FAA to fly in certain zones. As Greg said - you need an app like B4UFLY, Air Aware, Air Control to identify your location to fly and get proper clearance if required. LAANC is pretty easy to use and it will tell you max altitude / etc if you get clearance.

[@digibud]

@@andre1987eph yep...but I still see Authorization zones.

[@dougharper1492]

@@dougharper1492 yes, that's the case. I now have found DJI no longer restricting the flight. I still am limited to 200ft and not sure if the drone would balk at going above that ceiling or not. Previously DJI's limitation would stop me from doing so. Not sure about now. No reason to test it.

[@RedwoodGeorge]

Q: Has the DJI geofencing been removed worldwide or just in the US? Considering getting a new Mini for a trip overseas; the place we're visiting has a non-operational airstrip (it's being used for storage of shipping containers, so no usable) but DJI has it listed as a restricted no-fly zone, which covers the entire island. If all airports have been changed to EWAs, then I'd be able to fly nearby, but if this is only in the US, the change wouldn't help.

since there are no records of Trust, how would dji verify the number entered? Are you suggesting a one time thing, or every time it's turned on? TBH, if dji was not going to verify the number, I would enter a false number just because I could.

[@PilotInstitute]

There is a record. The FAA is sent all the numbers that are issued. And yes you can enter a wrong number, until something happens. Just like you can fly without registration, without TRUST, etc.

[@RebelByNature]

@@PilotInstitute Not sure what you mean by 'record'. As I understand it, please correct me if I am wrong, neither test providers or the FAA are to maintain a record containing personally identifiable information (i.e. a record that 'I' took the test) and it's because of that the certificate can not be re-issued if you lose it, the test has to be retaken. As to entering an incorrect Trust registration number in a dji drone, intentional or otherwise, there is no current rule or law requiring that, right? So nothing can happen to an operator if an incorrect number is entered. Currently is there even a way to prove the number is wrong?

[@TerryLee-r9d]

@@RebelByNature - did you print out the TRUST Cert as required and to have on your person when you fly? Look there. LE / FAA can get your info from DJI when you created an acocunt to fly that drone. It's more time consuming for them to go thru the backdoor per se; but they can find out who you are. RID kind of helps that when you register the drone and RID is needed to fly. Those without RID or it's need to be turned on - can possibly get away with it - but as stated above - DJI has your info and can pass it on to LE / FAA; when people do something stupid.

[@RebelByNature]

@@TerryLee-r9d There seems to be an assumption built into your comments that not providing information means you are doing something stupid and/or nefarious. Neither is the case with me, KZbin does not have my real information. I use an email account that contains no personally identifiable information and only exists for the purpose of KZbin sign in. What makes you think everybody gives DJI real, identifiable information? Of course if the federal government really wants to track me down, and waste their time and our money, I am sure the FBI or NSA has the capability to do so. That does not mean I am going to volunteer the info if not legally obligated to do so. However, getting back to the main point, nothing in the current law or regs requires anyone to give real info to DJI directly or enter it into the drone.

3:41 Keep our feet on the ground. Possible - perhaps. The hole looks cut on three sides. Seems to me the airplane propellers would have sucked the drone into the blades before it hit a wing. Common sense indicates a connection between the drone and airplane damage is highly unlikely to impossible.

[@PilotInstitute]

That’s not how the aerodynamics of propellers work… definitely not “unlikely to impossible” if you’ve been around enough airplanes.

[@chipsawdust5816]

Not sure you'll be able to get that guy a certificate - there's a rule about falsifying (falsiflying?) in the FAA which is immediate revocation. However, there is another rule that says after one year you can re-apply. Or in this case, make initial application. I guess it depends on the violation.

[@RebelByNature]

Out of curiosity where did the plane hit the drone in relation to the fires? Just curious how many miles away it was or if it was right where the fire was. No excuse for flying in an area with an active TFR, but the distance question is still something I would like to know.

[@ASRivers]

It is illegal for drones NOT involved in firefighting ops to fly in the vicinity of wildfires with or without TFRs. This is true both in US and Canada. Also, just becauseDJI dropped geofencing doesn’t mean a drone pilot can fly in otherwise Prohibited, Restricted or Warning airspace, such as over or in national parks. Look at your sectionals. You cannot takeoff outside a national park and fly over one.

[@RebelByNature]

@@ASRivers That was plenty to say without addressing my question at all. However, with regard to your off topic comments. Define vicinity. One mile, 10 miles, 100 miles? Law needs to be clear. You can not have a law that assesses penalties, let alone severe penalties, with ambiguous meaning. I don't know where this incident happened, but if it happened 10s of miles away from the fire fighting area because the plane was in transit to the firefighting area, away from, or getting more water, that is something else. Also, is it too much to expect in this age of computers that the government can not file a TFR where they don't want you to fly? With a a TFR you no longer have to ask what is the definition of vicinity. I understand there was a TFR for this, but did it cover the area where the incident happened specifically? Simple question. Yes, you can take off outside a national park and fly into it (absent a TFR). Not sure why one would. Just because you can does not mean you should. However, your comment is wrong from the legal perspective. Recreational Pilots don't look at sectionals, aren't even required to be knowleable in them, and many 107 pilots don't either. That is what apps like AirAware are for. Not only will they tell you if you can fly, or require lance right where you are, they also take into account TFRs.

[@ASRivers]

@ Here’s my answer: "Even if a TFR is not in place, drone pilots should avoid flying near wildfires," the FAA states. "It's a federal crime to interfere with firefighting aircraft regardless of whether restrictions are established, and violators can face stiff penalties” “Drones ones are not allowed to fly over most National Parks in the United States. The National Park Service (NPS) prohibits the use of drones in all national parks, including Grand Canyon National Park and Grand Teton National Park.”

[@RebelByNature]

@@ASRivers National Park Service doesn't have jurisdiction over the airspace, not even that over the parks. You can't take off, land or operate a drone within the park, but unless the FAA has put a TFR in place, you can certainly fly over the park so long as you obey all other rules (VLOS etc). For example, there are no restrictions over Yellowstone. The same is true for Federal Wilderness areas. Again, not recommending it. Point of law though, that's what it is, not what you say. Again with with regard to wildfires, since you won't define vicinity, and chose to you use the term 'near', define 'near'. What if you are 30 miles away, is that too 'near'? If so, how about 50? Note it's against the law to interfere with, not give way to, any manned aircraft, so specifying firefighting aircraft is a bit redundant. Vague laws are unenforceable and sooner or later the FAA may run into this. Prohibitions against being too 'near' something is purely subjective and vague. You notice they don't do this for controlled airspace definitions. They don't say just if you fly 'near' an airport you have entered controlled airspace. They don't say don't drive too fast or you can get a ticket or be charged with wreckless driving. When they do file TFRs they don't just say they apply 'near' this general area. It would be in everybody's interest if the authorities would put in place broad TFRs for firefighting and quickly. I am sure the FAA would cooperate. This is not hard. This is low hanging fruit. I see no downside.

@@ASRivers Grand Teton National park, most of it that is, has no FAA flight restrictions, so you are wrong about that one too. It matters not what the NPS has to say in terms of flying over it.

answer what? Geofence was the issue for many when flying in known restricted zones and some that are not per the FAA. Using an app lets you know those FAA drone zones and to apply for LAANC. Greg pointed that out - it's not rocket science and if you have a 107, you should know these things.

Do we really know for sure that it was a Mini that hit the plane? The reason I ask is that my Mini 2 is made out of flimsy plastic and it would seem to me that if a steel wing would strike a mini that would cause the drone to obliterate. Just my two cents.

[@PilotInstitute]

This is information directly from the FBI. Remember that drones have batteries, which are very dense. An airplane wing is not as strong as most people think. I can totally see a small drone making this much damage.

[@ronaldwilson9525]

You are correct about the battery and its density but it would seem to me that to cause that much damage to a steel winged aircraft the plastic that composes the drone and the battery casings would be disintegrated. Again I’m not trying to claim I’m an expert but I for one am very curious as to why the plastic was only slightly damaged according to the photos. And unfortunately in these times I find it difficult to believe the federal government 100% of the time.

I like the idea of adding your Trust number. But the bottom line is Ford builds the car. They have zero involvement in who drives it, if they're trained, licensed, insured, inspected, speeding, drunk... DJI is appropriately putting the responsibility with the pilot, where it belongs.

[@TerryLee-r9d]

and yet how many people don't know or worse - DISREGARD DRONE RULES. See the breaking of esp VLOS daily on drone pages. When people speak up, if that page even allows it (some don't) - you get the nasty remarks like "drone police" etc. We ALL hate the rules, esp VLOS, but with DJI bringing out all the new FPV drones that can use goggles and people using goggles WITHOUT a spotter is increasing at a high rate. How many of these "incidents" need to happen before goggles may be banned or worse yet - the whole drone community suffers with stricter rules. Even see people post of flying in National Parks, etc. WHY DO WE ALLOW THIS AS A COMMUNITY? The adding of the 107 / TRUST # may help; but getting adequate info to NEW PILOTS is a major issues nobody has resolved yet. People like the cool new drones with goggles, but don't know the rules or flagrantly disregard them. How you fly is your business until it becomes MY BUSINESS if more restrictive rules come about - i.e check out EASA 2024, where European Union has made it harder to fly there. Then each country also has it's own specific rules a dronep pliot is required to know, but again - see people posting flagrant violations on FB / YT / etc. Want to be that "cowboy" from the wild wild west drone days - be my guest, but don't be THAT GUY (as Greg loves to say) to post your exploits for new and us older drone pilots to see. That or risk being called out. Yes, we can file a report with the FAA, but does that even work and I don't want to nor should not have to do that. VLOS is a bad rule, but it's there for a valid reason or not almost every country on Planet Earth would have it. Do we exceed VLOS - ALL OF US - sure we do. Again, the flagrant posting of long videos / etc is going to hurt the community over time. So, final question is - How do we ensure new drone pilots KNOW that they need a TRUST / 107 in the US and whatever other countries CAA requires to LEGALLY fly their drones?

[@RebelByNature]

@@TerryLee-r9d People are ignoring the rules! So let's make more rules! Does all the licensing with automobiles stop people from driving drunk, drag racing, drifting and doing doughnuts in intersections or generally driving recklessly? It makes zero sense for the regulations to say I don't even have to register my sub 250 drone but then say I have to enter some number that can not be verified into the drone itself. How do we insure people know they need to take TRUST? Isn't that in the manual and other documentation (e.g. quick summary of the rules etc.)?

[@kjbathe]

Ok, everyone is breaking the rules. That's still not DJI's problem. But the question of education is a good one. So how about a prompt up front that requires a TRUST number (or EU, Global equivalent) before it can first launch? Like our inability to keep the numbers on our dashboard below the numbers on the speed limit sign, it won't stop us from breaking the rules. But it does prompt one to get educated to eliminate the "I didn't know" excuse.

I've seen the images of the DJI mini released in relation to the plane strike but I still can't fathom how that drone could have done that level of damage to a manned aircraft. I would understand if it hit a prop or an engine it causing significant problems, but even if the 250 gram drone was going full tilt directly into the wing of the plane I can't imagine it it doing significant damage to something rated for bird strikes. It's just not that solidly solidly built.
