Tim Pool is discussing this right now on his show. He knows drones really well. In every drone made since about 2013-2014 you have to download the maps from the internet in order for the drone to fly. A drone will not fly in a restricted area. Every event when a SS protectee appears is a restricted area.
So how did this drone fly there?
Yeah, this does not make sense at all. I’m a registered UAS pilot. All stadiums and bigger events with large crowds have Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR), especially for Presidents and I would assume would be for Trump rallies. If he had been flying a drone in the TFR area he should have been picked up like white on rice. They bust people all the time flying at and near NFL games, etc. They can find out exactly where you are operating from. How in the world did he fly under the radar with a drone. Pun intended.
So how did this drone fly there?"
Ah, great question!
Does anyone know if a drone, on a preprogramed route, can be flown inside airspace that is secured by the fed gov (assuming that it even was)?
Good question. Interesting information.
