Silly me, I thought Monday morning early rush hour would be a good idea to test virtual NPAS ops over the M40. But it's a bank holiday! No doubt other patterns roll out on these sorts of days. The construct is that an Altitude Angel corridor has been created along the M40 from London to Birmingham basically and their might be a simple drone above it pretty much all the time. This is not repeat, not where the current corridor is due to be. The setup is like this X-Plane 11 receiving real-world data and ADS-B, this then connects to Mission Planner via SITL to control the X-Plane aircraft. I am terrain following at 400' and 120 knots when in auto. ***************** If you would like to support Drone & Sundry for free and browse the internet without being tracked by ads and data trackers, download and use Brave browser: https://brave.com/dro980 ***************** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP EMAIL http://eepurl.com/dxkHcv Stay informed on the Business of Drones Don't miss out on any of our latest videos, subscribe to our channel https://goo.gl/PMFYQb Other places you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/droneandsundry/ https://www.suasnews.com https://www.facebook.com/suasnews https://www.twitter.com/suasnews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkbdoVr_Lks

Today, AirData UAV and Autel Enterprise Robotics are announcing a new partnership specially tailored to meet the needs of Autel Pilots across the USA: Autel EVO II users will receive a one-month free trial of AirData Enterprise fleet management software. Now optimized for all Autel Evo II camera models, by utilizing AirData, Autel pilots can reduce the risk in flying and managing Autel Evo II drones and fleets. AirData brings advanced fleet management functionality integrated with the Autel ecosystem, including pilot and flight data logging and analysis, compliance management, maintenance tracking, and crash prevention information, as well as increasing flight efficiency for better and safer drone operations. AirData’s real-time live stream video is an additional benefit for Autel pilots, requiring no additional hardware, and compatible with virtually any common browser application on any device. The streams are PIN-protected, enabling pilots to securely determine who is able to view the low-latency drone feed anywhere over the Internet. “With our fleet of over 80 drones and over 120 pilots, AirData has proven to be an invaluable resource for us addressing all of our fleet needs, in a very easy-to-use manner. We were also thoroughly impressed with the Evo II aircraft and the selling point for us was the compatibility with AirData. I am confident our railroad is a much safer place now with our drone program, the Autel Evo II’s and AirData,” said Kim Thomas, Manager-Safety Specialist, CSX Transportation. In addition to live streaming video captured with the Autel EVO II, AirData also provides deep analytics into the performance parameters of the drone system, allowing pilots to better understand flight efficiency, battery life, radio strength, camera usage tracking, and any data relevant to the operation of the aircraft. "At the onset of development of our sUAS program we realized a need for a robust, automated system to provide operational solutions. Our search led us to Autel and AirData. Since then we have experienced seamless integration and prompt support from our partners at Autel and AirData to help us continue to grow our program," said Lieutenant Jim Pauly, Omaha PD. ***************** If you would like to support Drone & Sundry for free and browse the internet without being tracked by ads and data trackers, download and use Brave browser: https://brave.com/dro980 ***************** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP EMAIL http://eepurl.com/dxkHcv Stay informed on the Business of Drones Don't miss out on any of our latest videos, subscribe to our channel https://goo.gl/PMFYQb Other places you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/droneandsundry/ https://www.suasnews.com https://www.facebook.com/suasnews ht ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqZTiIM3A2A

Malawi's approach to RPAS integration. The UNICEF delivery corridor is centred on Kasungu Aerodrome, in central Malawi, with a 40km radius (80km diameter) and is designed to provide a controlled platform for the private sector, universities and other partners to explore how UAVs can be used to help deliver services that will benefit communities. Speaking at its launch Malawi’s Minister of Transport and Public Works, Jappie Mhango said “Malawi has over the years proved to be a leader in innovation and it is this openness to innovation that has led to the establishment of Africa’s first drones testing corridor here in Malawi,” Video kindly provided by The Lake Victoria Challenge #LakeVictoriaChallenge ***************** If you would like to support Drone & Sundry for free and browse the internet without being tracked by ads and data trackers, download and use Brave browser: https://brave.com/dro980 ***************** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP EMAIL http://eepurl.com/dxkHcv Stay informed on the Business of Drones Don't miss out on any of our latest videos, subscribe to our channel https://goo.gl/PMFYQb Other places you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/droneandsundry/ https://www.suasnews.com https://www.facebook.com/suasnews https://www.twitter.com/suasnews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHO6Ux9VW5k
