KEN HERON - How To fly ABOVE 400 feet LEGALLY with your Drone

Показать описание

You may be surprised to know that you indeed CAN fly over 400 feet with your drone, and it's absolutely LEGAL!

NOTE: This only applies in U.S. Class G airspace. The 400+ exception will NOT allow you to fly into Class E airspace. (Class E starts at 12-Hundred feet.) This rule is for United States Part 107 certified pilots. Other countries have different rules and laws. Research these laws prior to your flight.

Ken, you are obviously a "towering" figure in the drone community. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for posting a video to make safer drone pilots. For those arguing, please just respect us flying manned aircraft too. We have to worry about other aircraft but we are on with air traffic control. We have a lot of stress and it’s annoying when we come back from a flight and someone is flying their drone at pattern altitude. We follow laws too. We aren’t anti drone, we just want to know where you are at with them. We appreciate when someone lets us know they are operating a drone at this altitude off to this part of the airport. It’s not a “The government is trying to take away my freedoms” It’s about a safer environment for everyone. I don’t care if you are 2, 000 feet, as long as I know your intentions and where you are at. Read the book of laws we follow. You will see you don’t have it bad at all.

Sincerely,

Airplane/helicopter pilot, commercial drone operator

thank you, does this apply in Canada too with flying DJI mini 1/mini SE/ mini 2 or mini 3 drone flight regulations?

Thanks for this Ken! This is actually really helpful because I wanted to get some clarity on the rules since I work on these towers and may need to use uav's for inspections.

Always great info, well presented and great editing. Loved this one with the traffic report! :)

I am not sure why but i am addicted to your personality!

Just in case you were wanting to fly up real close to an FM or TV tower (ESPECIALLY a TV tower), DON'T!!!

A friend of mine who works as a Broadcast Engineer at a TV station in Kansas City, Missouri (you have six choices) attempted to do a Video inspection of the station's tower - 1, 100 feet of it - from a distance of less than 50 feet with a company-owned Mavic drone.

This inspection was done on company time by a licensed private - and Part 107 certified - pilot.

Just as he reached the bottom of the radiating TV antenna array, the drone feed was lost and the Mavic fell 1, 100 feet to it's desctruction in a nearby wooded area (a clue!).

The Moral here is - DO NOT fly into the near-field of a high-power, high frequency antenna array.

In case you were wondering, the pilot did not lose his job. A company-wide memo was issued to all Chief Engineers pointing out the dangers of operating drones near radiating high power television antenna arrays.

I hope that this helps!

I know this may be a dumb question, but if I am on a hill when I take off is the 400 feet rule from take off point or, when I fly out from the hill, do I have to bring my drone down to match the surrounding terrain . as the hill goes down ? Or when you fly out from a cliff, and travel more than 400 feet out away from the take off point, do you have to dive the drone down, several hundred feet below the take off
