Well, the title of this thread may or may not be optimal, but here is the question buried in background thoughts..
Been flying my Spark for a few weeks, now, and while the pilot is supposed to keep sight of ones drone, I see so many videos where its relatively obvious that they are flying past line of sight, and I assume they are relying on the video feed or GPS map to keep track of their drone in flight. And I assuming (perhaps incorrectly) some of these pilots are merely recreational, stretching the boundaries of their drone.
So the question is other then perhaps just going for it, perhaps in an area where you still have a good chance at maintaining line of site for more distance, are there any hints or tips in how to perhaps practice getting used to trusting the video feed or GPS map location for a flight where you might be out of LOS for a small portion of the flight?
Thanks for any thoughts..
