[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 98288, member: 894"] Hello from the Hoosier Heartland, [URL="https://sparkpilots.com/members/riverratdc.18655/"]RiverRatDC[/URL]. From a drone pilot point of view, DC would be a beautiful place to capture but the whole area is a NFZ. Bummer. Some apps available free in the app stores worth having are... 1) AIRMAP. This provides the pilot with information on NFZ's NOTAM's, TFR's, etc. You can scroll around the map and find potential flying areas between the NFZ's. 2) UAV FORECAST. This provides information on the weather in your area to determine if it's a good day to fly. Parameters such as wind speeds at different altitudes, temperatures, satilites, etc. I check both of these before heading out the door because it might look like a nice day on the ground, but could be different 200' up or a TFR may pop up due to an air show, President, or other events that warrant a TFR. The third app is WINDY. It has a nice flowing graphic of the wind that is soothing to watch and shows how the wind is flowing rather than just an arrow pointing. Enjoy retirement and welcome to the Forum. ? [/QUOTE]
