Thermal Plumes — Invisible Turbulence

Industrial sites like smokestacks and cooling towers create strong vertical turbulence that can destabilize your drone — often rising over 1,000 ft above the stack.

Stay safe:
• Avoid flying near smokestacks or cooling towers
• Always stay upwind of exhaust plumes
• Remember: many plumes are invisible and unpredictable

Steer clear. Stay upwind. Protect your aircraft.

DJI Wins Partial Victory in U.S. Appeals Court

A significant development in DJI’s ongoing legal challenge to its designation as a “Chinese Military Company” has occurred.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit partially reversed a lower court’s decision upholding DJI’s designation and sent the case back to the district court for further review.

The key issue involves the government’s claim that DJI contributes to China’s defense industrial base. The appeals court found that the district court relied on the unclassified record without reviewing the classified evidence supporting that particular conclusion.

However, this is not a removal of DJI from the Pentagon’s list. The appeals court rejected three of DJI’s other arguments, and DJI remains on the list while the case returns to the district court.

For drone operators, public safety agencies, and businesses using DJI technology, this is an important case to watch. The outcome could have significant implications for DJI’s future in the U.S. market.

🛩 Fly Smart Fridays | Operational Limitations
Understanding your Part 107 operational limits keeps every mission safe, legal, and predictable.

Key Limits Every Remote Pilot Must Follow:
• Max Airspeed: 87 knots / 100 mph
• Max Altitude: 400 ft AGL
• Minimum Visibility: 3 statute miles
• Cloud Clearance:
– 500 ft below clouds
– 2,000 ft horizontal from clouds

These limits protect pilots, aircraft, and people on the ground — especially during busy summer operations, public safety missions, and commercial flights.

Know your limits. Fly within them. Protect the skies.
