March 19, 2019 ADU 0959: Can You Remove Inaccuracies by Using Drones in an ALTA Survey?
In today's show, we share the benefits of incorporating drone technology in an ALTA survey.

Our caller, Randy, has a question about ALTA surveys. Randy is wondering whether a significant proportion of ALTA surveys are incorrect. And if so, what is the margin of error? While it is not possible to define the margin of error, we share how human inaccuracies in traditional surveying results in poor quality data.

How can you expect to get accurate survey data when surveyor associates (without surveying licenses) are the ones making measurements? Other factors such as the use of wooden markers, manually jotting down survey measurements, and hand-drawn survey drawings further contribute to data inaccuracy.

In contrast, when you opt for a drone survey, you introduce many layers of efficiencies while significantly paring down human intervention. You will learn how a more accurate, faster, and cheaper option can create a win-win for you (the drone pilot) and your client. Thanks for the great question, Randy. Fly safe!

March 18, 2019 ADU 0958: Are Part 107 Rules Applicable to Law Enforcement Officers?
In today's show, we reveal if Part 107 rules and regulations apply to public safety officers.

Our caller, William, is wondering if public safety officers are subject to the same rules and regulations as other drone pilots. Do public safety officers need to procure Part 107 waivers for flying at night or flying over people?

To answer William's question, we first discuss the TWO ways public safety officers can set flight: by getting a Part 107 license or a COA. But, is getting a Part 107 easier than getting a COA? Are there any particular benefits to getting a COA? Does a COA allow a public safety officer to fly in an emergency? All of these questions will be answered in today's episode.

You will learn how the FAA is helping public safety officers set up their own drone programs. We also share why the Mavic 2 Enterprise is the ideal drone for first responders. This episode should be useful for public safety officers and drone pilots interested in (or currently) flying in the public safety sphere. Thanks for the great question, William. Fly safe!

March 15, 2019 BONUS: Drone News – DJI News, DJI Halts Phantom 4 Production, Impossible Drones
DJI Halts Phantom 4 Production, US-1 by Impossible Aerospace, Drones for Herding Sheep and Spotting Koalas, Free Solo Movie and More by Ask Drone U
In this week's drone news, we share some important DJI News. Our first big story is about the Phantom 4 Pro. DJI has officially stated that the Phantom 4 Pro is out of production. Why has DJI halted production of their most popular drone? Could it be their recent scandal involving corporate fraud? Or, is DJI gearing up for the Phantom 5 launch?

In our next story, we discuss a unique drone, the US-1 by Impossible Aerospace. A large battery and some clever engineering allow this drone to stay up in the air for up to 2 hours. Priced at $7,000, will this innovative product find acceptance in the drone market? Next, we share how a drone pilot in Georgia was electrocuted while attempting to retrieve his drone from a tree and the safety precautions necessary to avoid that from happening to you.

Our last story is about the Oscar-winning documentary, Free Solo. According to speculations, a drone might have been used to film scenes inside the Yosemite National Park. As you may recall, drones are not allowed inside National Parks unless you take off and land from OUTSIDE the National Park. So, did the film crew indeed flout regulations by flying inside a National Park?

Other stories include drones for herding sheep and spotting koalas in Australia. Tune in now!
