37 flights delayed, one runway closed for 10 hours

[Sosaria]

So all retail drones have build in GPS modules?

 

Not all. Hobby grade, yes. Toy grade, no.

 

 

Does this mean i can program the drone to fly to a specific GPS co-ordinate point without manually controlling it?

 

Not all. Hobby grade, yes. Toy grade, no.

4-digit price and above, yes.

 

Lower than that, no.

I must praise all the forumers here, so far the responses are matured and civilized...compared to those that I saw in sg.yahoo

 

Imo this incident is really unfortunate, serious hobbyist usually know the NFZ restrictions, I guess this is likely caused by those ignorant youtuber who trying to to show off our newly launched Jewel or our world best Changi Airport.....it is good to see that the relevant authority is able to detect and make swift decision in time despite it is an expensive and embarrassing one.....now  we know that they are not sleeping...the perpetrator need to prepare "butter - buak gu you"....the punishment should take future deterrent into consideration

I see..so some guy could actually pre program a GPS co-ordinate like say Raffles place during lunch time. Strap a home made bomb. Launch the drone and run away?

 

He no need to hang around to pilot the drone?

 

That's not good isn't it. Like pre program guided bomb?

 

Or am i watching too many action movies?

Yes, very very possible. But the guy must have the know how.

[Nhyone]

5 km radius is very wide. If include Seletar airport, it is not possible to fly a drone on the East side.

Need to know where you won't get into trouble flying a recreational drone?

I agree. In fact it is the proliferation of retail ready-to-fly drones that brought in many many newbies into what was otherwise an exclusive hobby with a long apprenticeship! (hours of learning to build, fly, crash, repeat ...)

Even if you fly outside the restricted zones, it is still a public space, with bystanders and other users of the same space. So, still must exercise care, discretion and common-sense.

[Count-Bracula]

i suppose you were thinking 27MHz like all radio controlled cars use?

No lah, more likely FM 95.0 needs jamming

Was in Aus.. national park. Lots people.

 

Someone flew a drone to take selfie.

And another in the crowd shouted he not allowed to flew drone within 30m of other people.

 

Not sure if such rule in Singapore or not

[Mkl22]

Yes, very very possible. But the guy must have the know how.

 

no need know how. DJI already have return to home function.
