Podcasts about tfrs

Today, we're discussing Poland's struggle with one of the world's lowest fertility rates and how artificial intelligence and modern trends in the labour market are reshaping work and family life. Joining me is Professor Anna Matysiak, head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Labour Market and Family Dynamics at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Warsaw. We are discussing why Poles are having so few children and why are those low TFRs so important. Prof. Anna Matysiak is sharing her research experience with us and explains what are the crucial factors determining fertility decisions. We are also discussing how can policymakers design effective strategies to increase fertility and provide a work-life balance for families.Please follow our faculty media for updates and share your thoughts in the comments.The podcast is financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange under the Welcome to Poland Programme (2022). Let's make together economics in Warsaw 2.0.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week. First, a controversial Texas bill aims to ban certain drones for public safety use. Second, Florida considers a bill allowing "reasonable force" against drones over private property. Third, Oregon passes stricter penalties for drone interference with emergency responders. And finally, SkyeBrowse and Paladin partner for real-time 3D modeling in DFR programs.And first up this week, let's talk about Texas House Bill 41. This proposed legislation aims to ban certain drones, primarily those manufactured in China, claiming it's to protect Texas from foreign technology risks. However, this bill is facing MAJOR pushback, especially from the public safety community in Texas. At a recent hearing, firefighters, police, and search and rescue professionals testified AGAINST the bill because it risks removing critical tools they rely on daily. Furthermore, there's the practical side. US drone manufacturers currently can't produce the needed drones at scale or cost effectively to replace the existing fleets immediately. HB41 could force agencies to scrap perfectly good, effective equipment within five years, potentially wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on more expensive, less capable, and less reliable alternatives. We've already seen examples where drones that would be banned under HB41 saved lives or helped solve major crimes in Texas. This bill feels less about security and more like protectionism that could seriously hamper public safety efforts. It's passed committee but needs to clear the House Calendars Committee for a full vote. If you're in Texas, the Drone Advocacy Alliance has resources, and contacting the Calendars Committee directly is crucial.Next up, if you're flying in Florida, you'll want to pay close attention to Senate Bill 1422. This bill is advancing through the state legislature and could allow homeowners to use "reasonable force" to stop drones they believe are conducting surveillance over their property below 500 feet. Now, this builds on Florida's existing Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act, and it seems fueled by privacy concerns, like reports of insurance companies using drones for home inspections. We all value privacy, but this bill raises some serious red flags.The Oregon House unanimously passed House Bill 3426, which significantly bumps up the penalties if you *intentionally* interfere with firefighters, law enforcement, or search and rescue using a drone, it's now potentially a Class C felony. That could mean up to 5 years in prison and a $125,000 fine! Even *unintentional* interference is now a Class B misdemeanor, carrying up to 6 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. That's a pretty steep penalty for potentially not knowing better.Typically between 100 and 500 feet, making any unauthorized drone in the area a serious collision hazard. Grounding air support, even for a short time, can have devastating consequences during a fire or rescue operation.Tools like geofencing can help, but ultimately, responsible flying and checking for TFRs before every flight is critical. This bill still needs Senate approval, but its unanimous House passage shows strong support. It's a serious reminder: DON'T fly near emergencies. Period. As always, please don't be that guy.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 3 stories for you: Drone Light Show injures kid in Orlando, Israeli drone company wins big DOD drone contract, and navigating TFRs in New York and New Jersey. First story this week is a bit of a sad one. A child was injured at an Orlando drone show last week after a drone hit him in the chest during a show near Lake Eola Park. The 7-year old boy was taken to the hospital and it was later reported that he required emergency cardiac surgery due to damage to a heart valve. Approximately 15 minutes into the performance, drones started falling out of the sky, according to a video and witness statements. The show was put on by SkyElement, a very reputable company that has a long-standing of safe operation. SkyElement puts out dozens of shows around the country yearly, and even holds 11 Guiness world records, including flying a show with 5000 drones a month ago during Thanksgiving. It's unclear exactly what happened, but it would be out of touch for me to speculate at the moment. We will follow up when the NTSB concludes its investigation and releases its findings. We wish the young boy a prompt recovery. Second story this week, XTEND, an Israeli defense tech company, has secured an $8.8 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract is to deliver advanced AI-powered drones called PSIO sUAS. These tactical drones, capable of operating indoors and outdoors, combine artificial intelligence with real-time precision strike capabilities. The drones are designed for rapid deployment in urban and open-field settings, and reduce risks for soldiers while enhancing operational flexibility. Manufactured in the U.S., these drones align with defense production standards and are set for delivery in early 2025, following extensive testing. XTEND's systems are already in use globally, including by the Israel Defense Forces, showcasing their value in modern warfare. For our last story, I want to discuss the recent temporary flight restrictions that were put in place in New Jersey and New York. Most of those are 1 nautical mile in radius and around sensitive infrastructures, such as substations, railroad depots, or even nuclear power plants. Part 107 operators who have a valid statement of work and show a need to be in the restricted airspace are eligible to request SGI waivers. SGI stands the Special Governmental Interest and is typically used by public safety agencies, but is also available to "regular" part 107 operators. According to the FAA website, "To apply for a waiver through the SGI process, you must be an existing Part 107 remote pilot with a current certificate OR a public agency with an existing Certificate of Waiver or Authorization or COA." I will put a link in the description for those who are interested in applying (https://www.faa.gov/uas/advanced_operations/emergency_situations) Last note before we go, we have the winner of the Community photo contest for December! Congratulations to Bill Heiser won with this photo titled "Highway to the Pass". And that's it for this week and even this year. I want to thank you all for tuning in every single week. We are getting close to 300 consecutive weeks of news update, and we couldn't do this without all of you. I and the entire team at Pilot Institute wish everybody a Happy New Year. I hope it will be full of growth for your company if that's what you do, but more importantly I hope it is filled with many hours of flying. Please continue to be safe and vigilant, and remember to be a mentor to those who got their first drone under the tree.

//The Wire//2000Z December 20, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: FAA ENACTS MORE NO-FLY-ZONES AROUND ELECTRICAL SUBSTATIONS IN TRI-STATE AREA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: This evening a vehicle-ramming attack took place at a Christmas Markt in Magdeburg. A vehicle rammed into a crowd of people partaking in celebrations, killing 11x and wounding upwards of 60x people. AC: As this incident is currently developing at the time of this report casualty figures will likely be revised as the situation develops.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – An agreement has not yet been reached in Congress regarding the budgetary continuing resolution, indicating that a government shutdown may begin at midnight.Northeast: Throughout the region more flight restrictions have been emplaced, with 8x new airspace closures being announced throughout the tri-state area. Continuing the trend from New Jersey, the airspace closures are largely centered around electrical substations located on Long Island.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the closed-door meetings amongst high-ranking counterterrorism officials, it would seem that no one has pondered the reasoning as to why our critical infrastructure sites do not already have no-fly-zones around them. This is largely due to the historical analysis that the implementation of such can actually cause more harm than good, mostly because it highlights exactly which sites are most vulnerable to drone attacks.Additionally, most of the no-fly-zones have been emplaced with parameters that are largely ineffective. For instance, most of the TFRs have been enacted covering the airspace from surface level to 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). This is not just a random number, this is the parameter set by the FAA for the use of recreational drones. Without special approval, recreational drones can't be flown at an altitude of over 400 feet AGL in the United States. From a counterterrorism perspective, this is utter nonsense. No would-be terrorist seeking to use a drone to target critical infrastructure is going to play by the rules.Once again, this small detail dismissed by most is a massive ‘tell' that indicates how incapable federal agencies are. Remember, the FBI is coming at the issue from the angle they always do…that they can't stop any terror attack that they don't have a hand in planning and carrying out themselves. In short, if a would-be attacker doesn't get groomed and assisted by the FBI at some point during their attack preparations, the FBI is powerless to stop (or even know about) the attack in the first place. For instance, the FBI is coming off of their recent bust, the November arrest of Skyler Philippi, who was allegedly planning to use a drone to attack an electrical substation in Nashville. This case involved the FBI choosing to provide materiel support to a well-known mentally unstable individual, to include providing attack plans, explosives, and assistance at the attack site on the day of the planned attack.This is the mindset federal agents are operating from; that terrorism as the American people instinctively know it doesn't really exist, and that any serious threat to the homeland simply can't materialize without the FBI's help. This is a very dangerous perspective to operate from, as it very obviously injects ego into counterterrorism doctrine. Putting up a no-fly zone around electrical substations strongly indicates this hubris; anyone with any minuscule counterterrorism experience can assert that these no-fly zones are going to do more harm than good because the lawful users of drones are not causing the problems. From the perspective of warfare doctrine, wargaming this decision for five minutes continues to demonstrate how bad of an idea this is. Much like how any obstacle on the battlefield must be observed at all times, the implementation of a no-fly-zone must

//The Wire//2300Z December 19, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TEAMSTERS LAUNCH LABOR STRIKE AGAINST AMAZON. FAA IMPLEMENTS 22 NEW NO-FLY ZONES FOR DRONES IN NEW JERSEY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Preparations for shifting to wartime societies continue as before. A few days ago Poland mandated firearms training courses as part of the curriculum for schoolchildren, continuing the trend of militarization that intensified in early November. Election-related conflict continues in Georgia and Romania as before. Germany continues “Plan Deutschland”, a wartime-preparations scenario by which they are considering the logistical needs for a widespread military deployment throughout their nation. Statements urging individual citizens to prepare for war continue in the United Kingdom, Estonia, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and in most other EU member states.AC: Whether or not all of these actions are just posturing efforts remains debatable, and should also be considered in the context of Europe's continual push toward energy solutions that are nowhere near capable of sustaining a wartime scenario. Nevertheless, preparations continue to progress in any case.-HomeFront-New Jersey: Overnight, the FAA established 22x new airspace closures around critical infrastructure sites due to the concerns presented by the recent drone situation. All 22 of these Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are mostly centered around electrical substations, highlighting what the main concerns are with regards malign drone activity. AC: Of note, most of these TFRs are quite small, only prohibiting drone flights immediately adjacent to critical sites. One TFR has a larger radius of 2nm as it is centered over Picatinny Arsenal, a major research and development center for military UAS technology and one of the prime suspects for at least some of the drone sightings throughout the area.Washington D.C. – Following the widespread outrage regarding the recent continuing resolution spending bill proposed in Congress, enough opposition has materialized to stall the bill for the time being, increasing the potential for another government shutdown. This afternoon, Donald Trump took to social media to announce that a deal had been reached to get the resolution across the finish line to avoid a shutdown.USA: This morning the Teamsters began a labor strike which has targeted several Amazon warehouse facilities and fulfillment centers around the United States. New York, Illinois, and Georgia seem to be host to the primarily affected facilities, and picket lines have been organized at hundreds of other Amazon facilities around the US.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The Teamster labor strike appears to largely be centered around Amazon resisting the efforts by the Teamsters to subvert their employees at these facilities. Following the power shifts in various labor union organizations around the United States, organizations like the Teamsters have increasingly dedicated time and funding to targeting large corporations such as Amazon. A few incidents have occurred over the past few months whereby Teamster intelligence networks have attempted to subvert Amazon facilities. Considering that Jeff Bezos and the entire Amazon corporation at large is fairly well hated by the average person for many reasons, most people haven't really cared about what the labor unions are doing, or the power-plays that have been occurring for months. This was most clearly illustrated by the ILA scandal from a few months ago, which highlighted the national security risks that labor unions can present at critical times. In this case, staging a labor strike during the Christmas holiday is likely intended to serve as a force-multiplier to increase the pressure on logistical networks during a time of congestion. While most of Amazon's products are low-grade consumer goods that present no

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update we have 5 stories for you, New DJI Action 5, Air 3S hits FCC Database, Pilot Institute Community, a Drone finds missing Louisiana girl, and a press release on drone incursions into wild fire aircraft operations. First up, DJI has released the new Action 5! The action 5 comes with a new 1/1.3” sensor (the same size as the Mini 4 Pro), 10-bit D-Log M, HLG, horizon steady, subject tracking, a barometer/hydrometer, 47GB of internal storage, magnetic mounting, 4 hour battery life, 113 degree max operating temperature, and connection with the DJI Mic 2s! Whew, lots cool specs, we'll be getting on to check out and post some content on! Next, the Air 3S has hit the FCC database! We've seen quite a few leaks about the Air 3S, including some images with an RC-N3 series controller, what appears to be a larger sensor in a dual camera setup, and potentially larger batteries. Rumors have also included that batteries may be compatible with the current Air 3. We've seen some decent images of the Air 3, we'll have to wait and see if DJI publishes an announcement any time soon! Third up, a big Pilot Institute update. This week we launched the Premium Community with the goal to help part 107 pilots use their certificate to get paid work. In premium you'll find tons of interviews and workshops, we'll be releasing exclusive content every month. And, if you're a fan of News Update, we have an extended version every week called Post Flight. Each episode we discuss News Update stories in more detail and give our personal opinion on the facts. Visit Pilotinstitute.com/community to check it all out! Third up, a drone in Louisiana located a missing child this week. A 10 year old Louisiana girl was reported missing early in the day on Sunday. Searchers were unable to locate the girl, and a company from Arkansas, Drone Management Services, stepped in to assist. Using what appears to be a Mavic 3 Thermal, Co-Owner Josh Kolber located the girl sleeping on the ground. Great use of the drone Josh! Last up, the National Interagency Fire Center has published data this week about 21 incidents where drones have operated near wildfires. In 10 of these events, firefighting aircraft operations were suspended. Generally, firefighting aircraft operate within a TFR, meaning other aircraft including traditional aircraft are not permitted in that area. Be sure to check the TFRs before you take off, especially in wildfire prone areas. Alright, that's all we've got! Greg will be back on Monday, so he'll see you then for the live Q&A!

//The Wire//0030Z July 14, 2024////PRIORITY////BLUF: FOLLOW ON REPORTING CLARIFIES DETAILS OF TRUMP SHOOTING. NO MAJOR I&W'S YET OF STRATEGIC CONCERN FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Pennsylvania: President Trump remains under medical evaluation following his assassination attempt this afternoon. Authorities have not commented on his condition other than to confirm that he suffered non-life threatening wounds as a result of the assassination attempt.News footage following the incident indicates at least two people in the crowd were wounded by the shooter, one of which who has succumbed to their wounds. The surviving bystander remains in critical condition. Users on social media have posted footage of a body lying on the rooftop of a small shelter adjacent to the event venue, indicating the shooter sought and successfully occupied a vantage point that served as key terrain and offered line of sight to the stage.-Strategic Indications and Warnings-Pacific: The USCG has not provided any update in some time regarding the position of the Chinese PLAN Task Force currently operating in the Bering Sea. By last press release, the vessels were conducting maneuvers approximately 100nm north of the Aleutian Island chain, but that report is now stale by several days.Homeland: NORAD has not provided any information regarding potential aerial threats within the past few hours, nor has the FAA issued any potentially concerning TFRs or airspace closures. HFGCS and BearNet traffic appears normal at this time. No sudden or concerning increase in military aviation has been noted within the past few hours.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Substantial efforts have been noted to manipulate the flow of information on social media following this incident, with the production of falsified information, along with the traffic from bots, being unlike any time period in recent memory. Some social media platforms are barely usable due to the intense posting by bots and those seeking to shape the narrative alike. Exceptionally violet rhetoric has been noted on social media following the attempted assassination of President Trump. This rhetoric includes mainstream media sources, which have sought to downplay the incident.In the fray of the information space, minute details, however unorganized are important to consider (or at least log) for later corroboration. As such, the following data points are being noted for posterity, without being verified with any confidence:-          A BBC interview with a man immediately following the incident indicates that the shooter may have been spotted approaching the venue long before the shots were fired. This witness suggests that the Secret Service had some limited advanced warning of the attack.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have 4 stories for you this week: New Drone Act in Congress, Aloft adds SGI, the DAC recommends Changes for Stadium TFRs, and the new DJI Agras! First up, is the soon-to-be proposed "Drones for First Responders Act". Not to be confused with DFR: Drones AS first Responder, which is actually something useful. This bill is introduced by Elise Stefanik, NY republican, who was being the proposed full DJI ban we discussed a few weeks ago. So you know we're in good capable hands here. The new act aims to transition public safety operations away from Chinese-made drones by increasing tariffs, providing grants to purchase US-made drones, set a limit on when imported drones must not contain Chinese parts (2030), and provides grants to US manufacturers. There's no word though on if US manufacturers will be able to produce the same amount of drones and what will happen if production is limited. The act claims that drones manufactured in China have a risk of potential data vulnerability. So I'm gonna ask the same question I've been asking for the last few years: if they are a threat, why are we allowing them to be used for the next 6 years under this proposal? Keep in mind, this is NOT a bill nor a legislative proposal yet and is subject to change. We don't have a bill text at this time, but we'll let you know when we see one. https://dronelife.com/2024/04/21/new-legislation-balances-national-security-concerns-with-support-for-u-s-drone-industry-drones-for-first-responders-act/ Second up, Aloft has added automated SGI waiver requests into Air Control! In case you don't know what an SGI waiver is, it stands for Special Government Interest. SGI waivers allow for public safety and other UAS operators to fly in emergency operations that may require entering a no-fly zone or flying beyond visual line of sight. To get an SGI waiver, a department or operator had to call the FAA's SOSC. Aloft Air Control is now approved to provide these waivers as needed. This should help all those public safety agencies and those who operate as volunteers. https://www.aloft.ai/blog/aloft-introduces-automated-sgi-waivers-in-aloft-air-control-streamlining-access-to-restricted-airspaces/ Next up, the DAC is recommending changes to stadium TFRs! Stadium TFRs close over 125,000 square miles of airspace annually and impact thousands of legitimate UAS operations. The DAC's recommendation includes a drone-specific TFR that would be limited to the fence line of the stadium, reducing the restriction by 99% to just 11 square miles. Pretty cool for those operators who fly in cities! https://www.einpresswire.com/article/704774366/drone-advisory-council-announces-recommendation-to-modernize-airspace-restrictions-at-sporting-events Last up, DJI is continuing to release new drones! The Agras T25 and the Agras T50 were released this week. Along with these new Agras, DJI released Smart Farm, which allows for plot management and daily operations. The new T50 comes with Active Phased Array RADAR, a four-sprinkler Kit, and 9-minute fast charging batteries. The T50 has a maximum payload of 50kg of spreading payload or 40kg of spray payload and can spray 50 acres per hour. We'll keep you updated if we see more from DJI! https://dronexl.co/2024/04/22/dji-agras-t50-agricultural-drone/ Alright, that's it, have a great weekend and we'll see you next week on Monday for the live!

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have 4 stories for you this week: Remote ID for the DJI minis, an armed suspect escaped police after shooting down a drone, a man faces felony charges after flying over NFL game, and the Super Bowl is a No-Drone-Zone. First up this week is an update on Remote ID for the Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, and Mini 4 Pro. Last week we covered that DJI's latest firmware update that removed remote ID when using the small batteries. This firmware update applies to ONLY the Mini 3 and the Mini 4 Pro at this time, if you have the Mini 3 Pro, the drone will transmit RID with both batteries. For the other two drones (The Mini 3 and the Mini 4 Pro) we reached out to DJI. After meeting with DJI we found out that each drone is considered two models, one with each battery. The large battery will transmit remote ID, while the other battery does not. Only the drone and larger battery is approved by the FAA. We'll be publishing a full video on this topic soon and we'll place a card here when it's time! https://dronexl.co/2024/02/02/dji-clarifies-mini-drones-rid-compliance/ Next up this week is kind of a scary one out of California. Police with a warrant were conducting surveillance with a drone in Shasta County on a man wanted for multiple felonies including assault with a deadly weapon. During the operation, the wanted man shot the drone down. A SWAT team was deployed along with California highway patrol, but the man escaped and remains at large. The incident is a great example of how drones put cameras in harms way instead of people. https://dronexl.co/2024/02/02/suspect-shooting-law-enforcement-drone/ Third up this week is likely one you've seen, a man is facing felony charges after illegally operating a drone at a NFL game in Maryland. Matthew Hebert allegedly flew his drone over the M&T Bank stadium during a TFR on January 28th, 2024. The NFL suspended the game due to the drone while Maryland State Police and the FBI located the drone pilot. The pilot advised police he relied exclusively on DJI's built in geofencing to tell him where he could and couldn't fly and that because no DJI restrictions were in place, he assumed he could fly. The drone was unregistered and Hebert does not possess a remote pilot certificate. If convicted, the maximum sentence is three years in federal prison for operating as an airman without an airman certificate and operating an unregistered drone. Another charge of willfully violating US National Defense Airspace would add another possible year to the charge. We'll keep you updated if we see anything else about this. https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/pennsylvania-man-facing-federal-felony-charges-illegally-operating-drone-during-national?fbclid=IwAR240Cf8I9ZA5rX4dOaBMUisUFlfgFqEVd93Y9ONw5uwUm7wMMChuyn4Uac On the same topic, the Super Bowl is this weekend… if you're in Las Vegas, there is a 30 NM TFR around the game… The FBI WILL be visiting pilots who bust this TFR… Don't bust it! Las Vegas has a number of drone detection stations around the city, don't think that you won't get caught… Don't be that guy, check the TFRs before you fly! https://dronexl.co/2024/02/05/las-vegas-no-drone-zone-super-bowl-faa/ Alright, that's it, have a great weekend and we'll see you next week!

Welcome to your weekly news update, we have 4 stories for you this week, Ravens vs Bengals game halted due to drone, FAA Safety Login changes, rumors of a new DJI Agras T60, Skyebrowse releases 2D mapping, and our Black Friday sale is in full swing! I am certainly thankful for all of you who come here every week and watch this segment and engage in the comments. What started as a way to help our students stay informed with the industry changes has grown to a video that many of you tell me about when we meet at in-person events. I love the discussion that ensues in the comments and while many of you say it's your favorite part of Friday mornings, my favorite part is to read the comments and interact with you all. First up this week is another drone over a major sporting event… A major league football game was halted due to a drone flying over the stadium this week, busting the stadium TFR. And while I would commonly say don't be that guy (I'll still say it), there are deeper issues that need to be brought up here... First, there isn't enough notification for these TFRs… If you watched our live event you've heard my opinion on this: There is a single NOTAM issued for ALL stadium TFRs. This means that the stadium TFR doesn't show on any of your favorite apps such as B4UFLY or Aloft Air Control. And no, that's not a problem from the LAANC providers. In all reality, this is my and my team's full time job but I personally don't follow major sporting events. I don't know when the games are and the TFRs aren't charted, so we could potentially bust one of these TFRs because I don't follow these major sporting events. Over the years I have been questioning the intent of this stadium TFR, especially when it only covers certain events. A concert from a popular artist would fill up as many if not more seats than a qualifying sporting event, and yet would not qualify for a TFR... why be selective? I'll say it out loud: is the TFR protecting broadcasting rights of the NFL, MLB, and Nascar or is it actually designed for safety purposes? The second issue at play here is that we need better education for drone pilots at the point of sale. The FAA requires that manufacturers include a brochure with each drone sold in the US. Problem is, the rule is not enforced. Could this person who flew over the game have been better informed? Probably. Next up this week is an update to the FAA Safety Login process for non-governmental employees. The FAA is going away from using a username and password and is transitioning to a multi factor authentication service. The process is pretty easy and takes about 5 minutes to change info over. After setting up the new log in system, you'll still need to use your old credentials to get in until Nov. 30th, 2023. FAA Safety doesn't appear to have changed at all, but we'll have to see once the changes are rolled out later this month! Your third story this week is a new and larger Agras! A shared image by DJI leaker Igor Bogdanov shows a new Agras to be released on Thursday - yesterday as you're watching this! The rumored Agras T60 will have a 60-liter liquid spray capacity. Other specs are sparse, but the T40 had a 50kg dry payload, so it's reasonable to expect the T60 will increase this. The T60 is also likely to have onboard RTK, Camera, and light similar to the T40! Your final story this week is Skyebrowse, who released free 2D mapping. As with other Skyebrowse products, their mapping and modeling software uses video instead of pictures to create models. You may already be familiar with Skyebrowse's 3D mapping, which includes an app to fly the drone, 2D and 3D model processing in about 5 minutes, and model sharing. https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/manufacturers_toolkit https://dronexl.co/2023/11/20/dji-agras-t60-agriculture-drone/ https://www.faasafety.gov/login/

Welcome to Episode 191 of TFRS, where we shift the spotlight from amassing wealth to gaining time and choices in life. Research has shown that once our income meets our needs and allows for savings, accumulating more money doesn't significantly elevate our happiness. Strikingly, those with substantial wealth often feel worse off, comparing themselves to those with more.   A fascinating study delved into the lives of multimillionaires, revealing that most believed an additional $5 million would bring them greater happiness. But studies, including one from Harvard analyzing 100,000 individuals, highlight that prioritizing time over money leads to more fulfilling social relationships, satisfying careers, and overall higher rates of contentment.   This episode uncovers the four key benefits of adopting a time-centric approach. It's evident that those feeling time-poor exhibit lower happiness levels, higher stress, anxiety, and reduced joy. By emphasizing time, people enhance social connections, build healthier relationships, and experience increased job satisfaction, all while achieving similar or greater income.   We delve into practical strategies to reorient your priorities towards time. Understanding your core values and the real cost of spending money (which is time you've worked hard to earn) is a crucial starting point. Reflecting on your “why” and whether material possessions align with a more fulfilling life is another pivotal step.   Finally, a poignant reminder that time is our most precious asset. We're all destined to reach the end of our journey, and when reflecting on life's moments, it's the quality time spent with loved ones, pursuing happiness, or contributing to the world that truly matters. The podcast episode concludes by highlighting the immeasurable value of time over money in crafting a more enriching and satisfying life.

Welcome to "Your Drone Questions Answered" with John Dickow from Drone Launch Academy. In this episode, we dive into the importance of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for drone pilots. David Young, founder of Drone Launch Academy, joins us to explain TFRs, why they're imposed, and how to stay informed.TFRs are airspace areas where all aircraft, including drones, are prohibited. Violating TFRs can lead to serious consequences, as shown by a recent incident. For instance, during a college football game, the FAA imposed a TFR around the stadium. A drone pilot ignored it, causing disruptions, arrests, and potential criminal charges.David explains that TFRs are issued via NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) by the FAA. Drone pilots can check the FAA's website or use apps like ALOFT or AirMap for TFR information. It's crucial to follow these rules and regulations. Recreational pilots should take the free TRUST certificate test, while those engaged in commercial work should obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107).The main lesson: Never fly your drone in a TFR. Stay informed and fly responsibly. Submit your drone questions on YDQA.io for more insights and remember to subscribe for future episodes. See you in the skies!

Welcome to your weekly news update, we have 3 stories for you this week, Drone pilot loses control of drone over stadium, an update on the man who shot down the police M300, and DJI releases new L2 LIDAR The first story this week is a drone that flew over a college football game, resulting in players evacuating the field. This occurred in Columbus, Ohio when Rigoberto Canaca Escoto flew a drone he purchased the day before at best buy over the stadium. Upon returning to Escoto, Columbus counter terrorism police were able to track the drone back to the pilot. Escoto admits he had no knowledge of basic UAS safety, hadn't take TRUST, and that he lost both control of the aircraft for about 3 minutes while over the stadium and line of sight. Escoto has been charged in Franklin County, OH with: Unsafe operation of aircraft in a careless or reckless manner, Two counts of aircraft operation without a license, Inducing panic by committing an offense with reckless disregard, And disorderly conduct in a physically offensive condition. Yikes. Next up is an update on a story we talked about nearly two years ago. If you're unfamiliar with this story, a man in Florida named Wendell Goney shot down a Lake County Sheriff's M300 drone in 2021. According to the man, the drone was “Harassing him”, however Lake County Sheriff was investigating reports of a burglary at a nearby 10 acre wear house. The man is a 29 time convicted felon, who now faces 10 years in prison for possession of a firearm and ammunition. So don't be either of these guys, don't shoot drones down and don't fly over stadiums in TFRs. Final story this week is the Zenmuse L2 LIDAR from DJI! The new L2 is compatible with both the Matrice 300 and the Matrice 350. When compared to the L1, the L2 increases detection range by 30% with a reduced spot size of 4x12 cm at 100m. The L2 has a maximum point cloud rate of 240,000 points per second and a 20MP 4/3 CMOS with a mechanical shutter. The L2 isn't as expensive as other LIDAR units, coming in at “only” $13,560 according to DJI's website for the basic combo. Pretty cool device, and maybe we'll get our hands on one eventually! Have a great weekend, and we'll see you next week! https://dronexl.co/2023/10/11/felon-shoots-down-sheriff-drone/ https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/ohio-state-university/pilot-arrested-after-losing-control-of-drone-over-ohio-stadium-during-buckeyes-game-records-say/ https://dronexl.co/2023/10/10/dji-zenmuse-l2/

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast is going to be all about providing student pilots with ANOTHER way that they can consume the Private Pilot curriculum. The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it. The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school. You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive. This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture. Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 350 students take and pass their Private Pilot exams without a SINGLE STUDENT FAILING. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more. Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.   Episode 43:  This is a bit of a longer one because I wanted to get through 4 different lessons so that we can finish up the section on limitations and more regulations! And we did it! In this episode we cover ATC Clearance, TFRs, Fuel Requirements and Maintenance. Most of these are short lessons but in the Maintenance lesson we go over all the preventative maintenance you are a private pilot who owns your own aircraft are allowed to perform!       Links mentioned in the episode:   Online Ground School: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-online-ground-school/?utm_source=podcast   How to Become a Private Pilot FREE Course: https://parttimepilot.com/free-how-to-become-a-pilot/  Ultimate Private Pilot Test Prep Book: https://amzn.to/40LSyLM       15% Off Aviation Headsets Discount:    Part Time Pilot Students & Listeners can now receive 15% off & Free Shipping on Kore Aviation Headsets using the coupon code 'parttimepilot': https://www.koreheadset.com/discount/parttimepilot  

Treatment-free remission (TFR) rates in CML of close to 80% have recently been described (https://doi.org/10.1002/ajh.26550). The AGILE study. If you can't say anything nice. Checking back in on CHECKMATE 816 (neoadjuvant Nico-Chemo in NSCLC) and Keynote-177 (pembrolizumab in MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer).

Getting the permission to take off is often one of the first challenges you'll encounter when conducting a drone operation. You may run up against regulations, state and local laws, or unexpected temporary flight restrictions (TFRs). What the industry doesn't realize is how often those rules, regulations, and laws are being built by people who don't understand what drones can do and what pilots need to do. The Law-Tech Connect Workshop, being held on April 25th at AUVSI 2022 in Orlando, Florida,  is a much needed platform to bring attorneys and industry stakeholders to the table to educate, network, and have important conversations to determine the future of the drone industry. In this podcast, we talk with Dawn Zoldi, the founder of Law-Tech Connect, about the details of the workshop, who will benefit from attending, and why it is important to the industry. Listen in for a special promotional code! 

Episode 193 Show Notes   Topic of the show: AG and RH go back to ATC basics and discuss a few of our local letters of agreement with surrounding facilities, how that changes your flight path, and how those reroutes relate to airspace.  We also discuss merging target procedures with a duplicate target, flight following, and more of your aviation questions.    Timely Feedback: 1. PATRON Alpha Charlie shares an audio example of “hold for release”. 2. PATRON Delta Tango gives us an update on private pilot training. 3. PATRON RWK shares some clarifications on vector to final chat. 4.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.17.100511v1?rss=1 Authors: Zhang, G., Ristaniemi, T., Cong, F. Abstract: Evoked event-related oscillations (EROs) have been widely used to explore the mechanisms of brain activities for both normal people and neuropsychiatric disease patients. The selection of regions of evoked EROs tends to be subjectively based on the previous studies and the visual inspection of grand averaged time-frequency representations (TFRs) which causes some missing or redundant information. Meanwhile, the evoked EROs cannot be fully extracted via the conventional time-frequency analysis (TFA) method because they are sometimes overlapped with each other or with artifacts in time, frequency, and space domains to some extent. Hence, these shortcomings may pose some challenges to investigate the related neuronal processes. A data-driven approach was introduced to fill the gaps as below: extracting the temporal and spatial components of interest simultaneously by principal component analysis and Promax rotation and projecting them to the electrode field to correct their variance and polarity indeterminacy, calculating the TFRs of the back-projected components, and determining the regions of interest objectively using the edge detection algorithm. We performed this novel approach and the conventional TFA method in analyzing both a synthetic dataset and an actual ERP dataset in a two-factor simple gambling paradigm of waiting time (short/long) and feedback (loss/gain) separately. Synthetic dataset results indicated that N2-theta and P3-delta oscillations were detected using the proposed approach, but, by comparison, only one oscillation was obtained via the conventional TFA method. Furthermore, the actual ERP dataset results of P3-delta for our approach revealed that it was sensitive to the waiting time (which also was found in the previous reports) but not for that of the conventional TFA method. This study manifested that the proposed approach can objectively extract evoked EROs, which allows a better understanding of the modulations of the oscillatory responses.

This is the audio version of an FAA Safety Center presentation during AirVenture 2018.The original LiveVideo broadcast can be accessed at https://www.faasteamtv.com/SafetyCenter/NORAD2018 and qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit. This course presents the NORAD "government effort to reduce TFR violations aviation education and training program" which contains information on TFRs, flight planning, intercept procedures with demonstration videos, and an outline of the information on the NORAD "3 Keys to Success" kneeboard card.

TFRs are a fact of life for flight operators nationwide, said John Kosak, of NBAA's Air Traffic Services. “Of course, the ones that our members are most concerned with are the VIP TFRs,” he said. “These are the TFRs that we see for the president and the vice president.” The dimensions, timing and level of restriction for each TFR vary. For VIP TFR's, these determinations are made by the Secret Service, in coordination with the FAA.

DJI and 3D Robotics bring real-time airspace restrictions to UAV software, a UAV flagship store is planned to open, ArcadiaSky opens a marketplace for commercial UAV operators, FAA gives a UAV registration warning, and another municipality regulates drone flights. News DJI Introduces New GeoFencing System For Its Drones DJI plans to introduce a dynamic geofencing system that continuously provides updated airspace information to the operator. Data comes from Geospatial Environment Online (GEO). Drone operators will see temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) in real time, including forest fires, major stadium events, VIP travel, and restrictions around prisons, power plants, and other restricted areas such as national parks. However, operators with verified DJI accounts could temporarily unlock or self-authorize flights in some of those locations, but not in sensitive national-security locations. This to accommodate the authorized applications and provide accountability if the flight is later under investigation. DJI intends to start this in December, first in North America and Europe via a DJI Go app update, and also a drone firmware update. GEO is powered by geospatial data from Santa Monica, California-based AirMap, which calls itself “the leading provider of airspace information and services for drones. AirMap's real-time services are available to manufacturers through an API and through an SDK for application developers.” Just as we were recording this episode, a video was posted from Drone World Expo titled DJI Technology Policy Announcement by Brendan Schulman, VP of Policy & Legal Affairs. 3DR Collaborates with AirMap to Integrate Flight Safety Zone Software into the Solo App 3D Robotics will also integrate AirMap's safety information into its Solo smart drone app. CEO and co-founder Chris Anderson says, “...we want to make flying as safe as it is easy. Supplementing the Solo app with AirMap's robust and reliable real-time airspace information allows us to increase education with a seamless and enjoyable drone experience.” From the 3DR press release: “If Solo users open their Solo app in a restricted area, they'll see a warning. Users can then tap the warning to bring up a map that displays any airspace information in the area. This airspace information includes real-time Temporary Flight Restrictions that may be established in the areas around wildfires, major sporting events and other sensitive places. The Solo app will contain basic airspace information: federal guidelines (e.g., five miles from an airport); national parks; airbases, etc.” The World's Biggest Commercial Drone Maker is Opening a Flagship Store In December, DJI plans to open an 8,600 square foot flagship store in Shenzhen, China. A DJI spokesman said, “We want more people to see and touch our products.” Start-up ArcadiaSky creates marketplace for commercial UAV hire Australian company ArcadiaSky wants to make it easier to find licenced commercial UAV operators. After two months, they have 180 drone operators in 74 locations in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They've received over 1,300 requests for quotes. ArcadiaSky describes a free, three-step process: Define your requirements on a request for quote Choose your pilot based on your requirements You are put in contact with the drone operator FAA: Think Twice about "Drone Registration" Firms The FAA has issued a statement saying UAV owners should wait for the registration process to be announced before they work with any company that offers to help you with registration. At least one company is offering this kind of service. The FAA wants “a streamlined unmanned aircraft registration process that will be simple and easy to complete… The Task Force ...is working on recommendations for a system that is similar to registering any newly purchased product with its manufacturer…” Chicago City Council Approves Ban On Drones

This week a JPR listener files a report after attending his first AOPA Fly in. Plus presidential TFRs continue to create issues specifically for General Aviation.

In this flight training podcast mail call I answer questions about presidential TFRs and long straight in approaches.  Fly Your Best! Jason

Former ComicsAlliance editor and current writer of the new comic Task Force Rad Squad Caleb Goellner joins us for this week’s show! We talk to him about how TFRS evolved from a Power Rangers parody into something a little deeper, drugs, pay-what-you-want comics, and, oh yeah, this website that got shut down last week. Plus, another edition of the War Rocket Ajax Love Haters!
