Well 1st I would not fly above 400Ft. why u ask it will not go over 400 with out a hack and mine is not.
I always keep the aircraft within visual line of sitht
Never said i was going to fly by a manned aircraft.
Track is not within 5 miles of airport.
I never was going to fly over the track and if you fly you cant tell me you have never flown over people. If you say you havent your a liar. Pretty funny that i live in Plainfield just west of the track and local police come watch me fly over Meijer, Kroger, US 40. And dont say a word. I Take photos at weddings all the time.
I am not careless or reckless with my aircraft.
Its people like you that bring bad names to Drones or quads. Oh he flew over 1 person. I know the FAA rules. I still think that responsible fliers should not be restricked. I went ahead and took it with me just to see if it would start up. And YEP no problem. Came right on.. I did not fly it just to stay out of trouble.
Why is that "some bull ****"? FAA regulations specifically say:
- Fly below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles
- Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times
- Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations
- Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying
- Don't fly near people or stadiums
- Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs
- Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft – you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft
You're SOL with the near people of stadiums provision then there is the interference with manned aircraft flying (IMS becomes a heliport before during and after the race) then there are the 10 other heliports and 2 airports within 5 miles of the track. During the race there will be several helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and a blimp flying around the track. What you want to do comes under the reckless heading as stated in the FAA Regs
