You may be required to file a waiver or 333 exemption before operation. Please note that the operating temperature range of the Pro/Advance drone is only 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The PPK Kit Phantom4 is a non-intrusive adapter system to connect a GNSS Reach M2 or M+ receiver to a DJI Phantom 4 Pro or Advance model drone. Below, Justin Russell, head surveyor at Fiore and Sons, describes how he’s reallocated his time after successfully adopting PPK drone surveying.
Having the ability to avoid trees is especially important when using the return-to-home feature that summons the drone back to you. The Obstacle Sensing System only sees things in front of the drone. You still need a tablet or phone ready to go along with the controller and drone battery.
At sea level in calm environments when flying in ATTI mode, the phantom 4 can achieve 28 minute flight times. This will vary due to different flight patterns, weather conditions and altitudes. To take full advantage of the Phantom 4 RTK’s positioning modules, the new TimeSync system was created to continually align the flight controller, camera and RTK module. The Phantom 4 Professional developed the functionality of the Phantom 4, with added obstacle avoidance from five sensing directions as well as active avoidance.
The DJI Phantom 4 controller requires a cable in order to connect your phone or tablet. As this extra part lives in your bag / case it’s really easy to forget them – so do yourself a favour and pick up a few spares. There’s been at least 1 instance where I’ve turned up a location only to realise I forgot this pesky cable! Polar Promake some of the best ND filters sets for the DJI Phantom 4. When you are satisfied with the flight plan, and when the desired connection status is established, execute the flight. At any point during the flight, you can return to the RTK menu to view more details about the X, Y, and Z RMS Errors, as shown in the following image.
Navy fighter pilots were unused to flying with a non-pilot RIO, but learned from air combat in Vietnam the benefits of the GiB “guy in back” or “voice in the luggage compartment” helping with the workload. The Phantom was then shot down, probably by an AIM-7 Sparrow from one of its wingmen. There continues to be controversy over whether the Phantom was shot down by MiG guns or, as enemy reports later indicated, an AIM-7 Sparrow III from one of Murphy’s and Fegan’s wingmen. On 17 June 1965, an F-4B from VF-21 “Freelancers” piloted by Commander Louis Page and Lieutenant John C. Smith shot down the first North Vietnamese MiG of the war.
In 1953, McDonnell Aircraft began work on revising its F3H Demon naval fighter, seeking expanded capabilities and better performance. The company developed several projects, including a variant powered by a Wright J67 engine, and variants powered by two Wright J65 engines, or two General Electric J79 engines. On 19 September 1953, McDonnell approached the United States Navy with a proposal for the “Super Demon”. The Navy was sufficiently interested to order a full-scale mock-up of the F3H-G/H, but felt that the upcoming Grumman XF9F-9 and Vought XF8U-1 already satisfied the need for a supersonic fighter. The advertised battery life of the dji mini 2 fly more combo is 28 minutes per flight. For a first time drone user, this probably sounds short, but for those upgrading from other models, it really is quite impressive.
