[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 52433, member: 6411"] My best advice is avoid people. airports, sea-plane and helicopter launch sites. Get out into the country, fly where if you have a mishap, only the drone gets injured. And at the same time, you'll get some fresh air., that's a little rare in NYC! I am in Canada, we have different restrictions but similar in many ways. Dont fly in National Parks. We have whats called "Crown Land" much of which is rural and uninhabited. I think NY State may have some similar concept, where its not a "Park" but its not deeded to anyone either, that might be worth a look as a place to fly. I have Hover, Airmap, UAV forecast, FlightRadar24, and even the FAA app B4UFly.. I check them all to see whats around both in terms of restrictions and other aircraft. Your rules in the US seem to be a little less clear, depending on why you are flying and the type of craft you fly too. I have to admit after reading about things stateside for a while, its confusing as hell. I recently flew my Spark up to 155 feet, it gets really hard to see that little drone once its way up.. It would all but disappear at 400 I;m sure! Good luck, but don't be discouraged. The main thing it to be safe, for both yourself, others on the ground and any passing aircraft overhead. There are lots of weathered and tendured pilots here who can chime in with more accuracy than me. [/QUOTE]
