DSAR's free briefing "An Introduction To Drone Search & Rescue" (60 slides) is now available for download here. Future updates to the brief will always be available at the same link. This was a collaborative effort on MavicPilots by myself, BigA107, SAR104, Thunderdrones and FatherXMas.

I think active track is more realistic. Problem is your speed would have to match exactly what you programmed in Litchi.

We received an inquiry from a drone pilot in France, regretting he could not make the training on March 30, but asking if we could offer the training online. Offer some training online? Great idea! Yes! Thus, we plan to ultimately offer online training in drone search & rescue to...

Demonstration of an automated waypoint flight by the DJI Spark using the Litchi app. The Spark is like Mighty Mouse - little but powerful. The battery had an impressive 87% remaining at the conclusion of this flight. The Spark is often undersold and under-appreciated. But in the hands of a...

FYI. We're building a National Registry of Volunteer 107 Certified Drone pilots with training in search techniques that are willing to be called upon if an incident arises in their area. If you're 107 certified, have training in search techniques and wish to be on the registry, please send us...

I'm retired military and hold a private single-engine certificate with instrument rating, along with a 107 certificate. I'm interested in starting a volunteer drone SAR organization in the Southeast United States. If you live in the SE and want to train in Drone SAR techniques, please message...

Yes, take-off (and landing and RTH ) all work with the goggles.

You need to have someone with you that maintains VLOS with the drone when you fly with the goggles. I actually find it more enjoyable to let others experience the goggles while I fly.

hmmmm ..... it appears strangely enough as you said that there is no flight record when I flew the Spark with the goggles. Could that be because I used the ipad to initialize the Spark but then disconnected and connected the Goggles to remove the distance restriction?

I have successfully operated the goggles with the Spark, both as the primary operator and as a mirror so someone else could experience flying while I operated the drone. I need to check and see if there are flight records for the goggles when I flew the Spark with them.

Government keystone comedy

Unless you have a waiver :). There is a park nearby that has granted me year-long permission (in order to shoot all the seasons) to produce a promo video for them (for free.) In return, I get to fly someplace I would not ordinarily be allowed to. I've only just started; still a lot more to...
