DJI claims the decision “aligns” with the FAA’s rules.

    Bruh this is going to lead to some troubles. Sure the tiny drone under limits damaged a plane but that doesn’t mean you should allow bigger drones in the area.

    Sure. Why waste the effort when users can just disable the feature anyway, and do so. I had a DJI drone and disabling the altitude limit was just a tickbox.

      Need very low flying planes to fight fires. They had a collision recently with an unregistered drone over the LA fires.

    Well let’s hope someone uses this relaxation of rules to pull a Luigi with a self made assassin drone then, see how quick they revert this…
