As mentioned in the video, some might have heard that drone flights over the National Park Service lands and at Mt. Shukans are prohibited. That is both True and false. The devil is in the details. Below are the regulations regarding such flights. At no time during this flight did the aircraft take off, land or was operated from within NPS managed lands or Wilderness areas, and no animals were intentionally harassed nor humans flown over. A summary of the relevant regulations are below.
Regulations regarding aircraft flights over US National Parks:
The National Park service (NPS) prohibits the launching, landing and operation of unmanned aircraft, Unmanned Arial Systems, aka (UAS or "drones") on lands and waters administered by the NPS pursuant to 36 CFR 1.5. This 36 CFR 1.5 NPS jurisdiction of UAS activities within NPS lands ends at the park boundary. In a specific Q&A section posted on the NPS website regarding this topic the website clearly states that the NPS has no authority to regulate the launching, landing or operation of an unmanned aircraft from outside of the park boundary and the NPS regulations does not modify nor supersede any existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation regarding flying over NPS land within the National Airspace system (NAS) are regulated only by the FAA and its regulations. Unmanned UAS flights in the NAS are managed per 14 CFR part 107. The FAA does in some specific situations and at certain defined locations have in place prohibitions of aircraft flying over select areas, including some NPS managed lands, and those no fly areas are defined at the FAA’s Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) website, or by other specific FAA regulations. Such examples of specifically restricted airspace include the Grand Canyon, DC National Mall, etc..
In other words, UAS flights cannot take off, land or be operated from within the NPS park boundaries however flights which originate from outside the NPS boundaries can fly over and above NPS administered park lands because they are within the National Airspace System and the airspace is managed by the FAA, not the NPS. Exceptions are the above mentioned TFRs and specific restricted areas. The NPS has no jurisdiction to regulate or to enforce any FAA airspace regulations and only has jurisdiction to regulate the activities that occur on its lands. At no time during this flight did the aircraft take off, land or was operated from within NPS managed lands or Wilderness areas. There were no FAA TFR's or flight restrictions issued for this area at the time of the flights.
US Regulations regarding aircraft flights over Noise Sensitive and Wilderness areas:
The FAA issued Advisory Circular (AC) AC 91-36D which addressed pilots making Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flights of aircraft (manned or unmanned) near Noise Sensitive Areas over Federally Managed Lands. The intent of this AC is to request pilots to not fly low over certain areas to limit noise levels. There are examples of such noise sensitive areas defined in the AC and include National Parks, Wilderness areas, National Wildlife Refuges, and several others. AC 91-36D section 8. Is titled; Voluntary Practices, and specifies in paragraph a.; "Avoidance of noise sensitive areas, if practical, is preferable to over flight at relatively low altitudes." In addition, paragraph 8.b. reads: "Pilots operating noise producing aircraft...over noise sensitive areas, should make every effort to fly no less than 2000 feet above ground level (AGL)...". In addition, paragraph 8. d. of the AC clearly defines situations where this AC’s 2000 foot minimum altitude recommendation does not apply; Para 8.d. reads: "This advisory does not apply where it would conflict with FAA regulations... or where an altitude of less than 2000 feet AGL is considered necessary by the pilot to operate safely." FAA regulation 14 CFR part 107 governs flights of drones/ UAS aircraft and sets the maximum altitude of UAS aircraft at 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Above Ground Level (AGL) is determined at the aircraft position not the pilot's position.
In other words the 2000 foot minimum altitude for flights over noise sensitive Wilderness areas is not an actual prohibition but is instead a voluntary recommendation. Also, UAS flights are exempted from the AC’s 2000 foot minimum altitude recommendation because FAA regulation 14 CFR part 107 prohibits UAS flights above 400 feet AGL. The FAA 14 CFR 107 400 feet AGL maximum altitude limit for drones supersedes the AC 91-36D voluntary 2000 foot minimum altitude recommendation.

Sunset Mountain Surfing Long Range FPV flight
It happened to me last year flying above Mount Tanay! I didn't know I must look at where I was from the view of the drone so I can see how the surroundings look like. I flew for 2-3 miles and when I turned around, I almost fainted. I was like "These are all trees! Where did I launched from." LOL. I followed the arrow and luckily the GPS was perfect. Someone also watching me told me "I can hear your drone on the left." I was so happy that I didnt' lose it. :)
Great video Valley FPV! I updated my settings, in Betaflight. I set "Warning Cell Voltage" to 3.2v and critical to 3.0v. I've always flown my quad back when average voltage is 3.4v. I want to fly few more minutes longer :)
Great Flight ✈️
wow, so awesome, loved the video quality you have from the ratel 2, exactly purchased a ratel 2 and rush tak solo 2 a week ago for my fpv wing and now found your video, i will really love this setup, will also be using p45b 4s battery on it, lets see how far i can go i´m little curious about the rapidfire module, i have the same one but i have set it to Rapidfire 2 mode and legacy, for long range Rapidfire 1 mode is better?
Honestly..I dont know.
Thank you it was a very useful video. If you’ve gotten the new tires in the new seat, I’d love to see a picture and a review? Best
I have both the new seat and tires..and love em both. Buy the JB seat vs the Sauls. I bought both and like the JB better.
Just want to add you need to calibrate the Amp meter to your flying style. Heavy on the throttle will produce different results in calibration vs slow flying.
I'm not sure I agree.
Le Pigeon is a great platform, I've watched a buddy fly his a few times. wow 20 min is a great flight time for this setup!
Don't know why you don't have more subscribers, vids are great.
Thanks. I dont why know either.
I have never seen such an inapt fpv pilot in all my years. This guy reminds me of a noob 100%
Thanks for the kind comments. The internet is great in that it provides a safe forum where anonymous online cowards feel emboldened to make rude comments. Yes..I was a very inexperienced fpv long range pilot at that time. This video was shared so that others might learn from my mistakes.
@@ValleyFPVKindly explain how you managed to get "coward" out of my post ? Trust me kiddo, I wouldn't say anything online I wouldn't say to your face 🙄... You sound too me like the typical keyboard warrior who regurgitates the same old drivel he read somewhere else because he thought it sounded good 🤣. Anyhow- it's not the piloting as we have all made mistakes, it's the narration of the video that's quite embarrassing...... Just saying
Nice fly and a nice Save. Are beginning in LR myself got a rekon 7 whit 8000mAh Fullsend. Hoping that i dont mess up when iam that far away :D
I hope so too.
So, this is how russia and ukraine jam one another's FPV drones. Just power up microwave dish transmission and point it at the enemy FPV drone.

So, that's how russia and ukraine jam one another's FPV drones.
Thanks for watching
I am thinking about doing an antenna tower dive like Ken Heron is doing, but I couldn't make out how to manage the interference problem. This episode has many answers for many people that don't want to be reckless like Ken Herun.
Thanks
Great teaching video without lecturing.
Glad it was helpful!
All modern quads will fly long after you are doing damage to the cells. If you bring lions to 2.75v under load you are damaging those cells. You dont need graphs. Just know at what voltage your quad is half pack. Easy. You are making mountains out of mole hills. This is basic stuff.
To each their own. Amps are how much of the "gas" in the tank is consumed. Min Voltage is when the props wont turn fast enough to keep the quad in the air. I plan my flights based on how much amps is needed for a certain distance or climb. Not what voltage is used. The cells I use in my packs are rated to cut off at 2.5v. So When I fly I monitor voltage and amps used. Both. And Who cares If the cells are being damaged. I look at batteries as I do props: They wear out..have a limited life. Are meant to be used hard. They are consumables.
Dream mountain to fly, congrats!
Thanks..this flight was a few years in the making.
Great flight! I flew a light sport trike up there once. Surely you know, but you'd get better stabilization with an action cam. It'd be much smoother footage.
Thanks for watching. I didnt purposely fully stabilize this footage like an action cam.. by design. I opted for using a cinema camera with a 12 bit pro codec and a real lens with ND filter... and high dynamic range instead.
😮 wow cool. Beautiful mountains
Thanks
oldguyFPV; Beautiful as usual! Fly safe, fly free!
Thanks for watching
Impressed that those drones can gain so much altitude. Glad you got it back.
Thanks for watching.
Same thing happened to me and I found your video when looking for the the cause. Luckily i was flying my drone at low altitude and fail safed. I thought the battery of my goggles was low, but i wondered why it blacks out, like it should be 1st warning that batt is low. Thank you for the info. Happy Flying
Thanks for watching.
How are you flying below 3.2v ??
Thanks for watching. The battery cells that my pack is made of have a low voltage cutoff limit of 2.5v per cell. One benefit of some Liion cells over LIPO cells.
@@ValleyFPV oh okay
The key is to review and change these settings before a flight, if you're flying a new terrain. It would be helpful if BF supports a dynamic GPS rescue altitude mode - for instance, imagine you are doing a long range that involves climbing way high up too, and let's say you lost the video on your return, when you have already descended significantly, and you have a dying battery. Initiating GPS rescue with max altitude setting will be disastrous, because the quad will then have to climb all the way up. So, if I get a chance to dynamically decide my GPS rescue altitude mode, it would be great in such scenarios. I will initiate GPS rescue with current altitude mode then.
Indeed.
Great video and nice to see the quad return home in one piece - you always learn a thing or two from flights like this. When you have directional antennas, it is always a good idea to keep tilting your head when video goes bad. And may be you could have stayed in the rescue mode a bit longer when you activated it for the first time on the way back - it could have given the quad the right heading, a better video and may be it would have helped realizing where home is. I have never done long range but I fly my 5 inch like 1-1.5 kilometer away sometimes. I have an omnidirectional vtx antenna and 800mW of vtx power.
So much was learned from this first "long range" flight of mine. All the things you mentioned and a few others.
This was very educational. Great communication and navigation. Great vid!
thanks
Love my Grizzly! Another helpful tip is … if you want to start in two wheel drive, use petal assist only, not the throttle…. That way, the front wheel won’t spin out. Same thing on hills. Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!👍
Great tip!
It should be noted that when charging the battery back up after getting your initial OSD mAh reading to see the charger in non-balancing mode. This will prevent extra mAhs from getting put in due to balancing of the cells. It's recommended to only do this with batteries you trust (new versus worn batteries) to get a better current scale number.
Sounds reasonable
Hey glad you are having fun with your bike. I have a similar one and IMHO would recommend you don't use the front motor all the time, if you want to improve your battery life. Unless it's struggling up a really tough hill or you're on sand it's a waste of charge. The only thing I find I use it for is to take off like a rocket at traffic lights to shock the commuting bunch in traffic lol. To avoid spinning front wheel, just use rear wheel for like a 6ft roll out then flip the AWD button and she gone! Then cut it off again when you get top speed. Be careful riding with both motors because you can slip out much easier due to the torque pull. Happy travels and safe motoring.
Thanks for watching. Which is pretty much what I do. I use front motor only when needed. I generalky start off in Rear wheel only then kick in the front. This video was more about climbing steep hills which is difficlt to show on camera the true steepness..and how the front motor is effective for such sustained hill climbs.
Footage looks great. How are you finding the stabilisation with gyroflow? I'm considering a BM G2 purchase and maybe an IAOWA or the plastic panny leica wide
Thanks for watching. Gyroflow works well. One can adjust the amount of stabilization..from subtle to super "fluid". GF does take some effort to learn how to configure it for the desired results. My next quad build likely will use the camera setup you are considering.
@@ValleyFPV Thanks! I'm used to gyroflow for O3 and GoPro, more wondering about your impressions of how well it cleans up G2 footage in practice. But it sounds and looks like it's working very well! Having owned M43 gear for handheld shooting I can really see the appeal of strapping a lightweight setup to a 7 or 8" drone.
Exactly @@earthsgrip I film using a "naked" Blackmagic..cutting weight is key to longer flught times.
@@ValleyFPV the ultra lightweight option!
It's a fun flight, why not go long range
I do now

Thanks for watching
Someone was firing guns into the woods, haha. Starting at 2:50

Thank you for the free lesson!
You bet!
Awesome flight, buddy! I'm loving your signal coverage analysis strategy. I'd totally hop on board, but with 6000 mah, I'm running short on time... Definitely thinking about making the jump to 8000mah. Oh, quick question: do you ever get eye fatigue from staring through the goggles? I don't know why, but with my Integra goggles, my eyes feel pretty strained... Never tried analog goggles, though. Maybe they're easier on the eyes... How about you?
Thanks for watching. Fyi my battery packs are 10000mah packs I make from 21700 cells. I can fly to appx 8000-8400 safely. My goggles never bother me I like em. I use the hdmi feed from my ground station antenna array so that there is minimal weight on my old sore neck.
@@ValleyFPV You've got some killer batteries, man. I'm not quite brave enough to DIY batteries just yet, but I'm thinking about giving it a shot soon. Maybe I didn't explain myself well; I'm not talking about the weight of the goggles, but my eyes start to itch when I'm looking through them, and it really bugs me when I'm flying. Not sure how it is with analog goggles. Anyway, I gotta say, love the tripod antenna setup you're rocking, genius move. Your vids are always killer, good luck up there!
@@Wild__FPV No eye itch or strain here. :)
@@Wild__FPV I might make a video going over my ground station features and benefits.
@@ValleyFPV That would definitely be interesting, because I am interested in the implementation of that idea
I've been watching for a couple of years now and I think your videos are awesome. It's fun watching you and your buddy work together to film some unique places that you normally can't see in person.
Thanks for watching. We are always looking for interesting spots.
Hey, I noticed you're doing split files... I know you're not using Adobe Premiere, but I just wanted to give you my two cents on something you might consider; I have no problem editing video files even up to 25 minutes long (4K). The thing is, Adobe Premiere offers proxy editing... might make things easier for you. Just a suggestion
Thanks for watching. I use Resolve and simply like to make a couple of files during a flight for easier backup and file management of the source braw files. And Gyroflow tends to process faster with smaller files.
That was such a sweet flight, super chill to watch, and hey, talk about timing - right when you were about to land, bam, there comes that couple! 😄 Good vibes to you, buddy! Catch you later!
Thanks for watching...totally..the people just walked up oblivious..but it worked out.
Hey, just wanted to say I'm super stoked I found your channel! It's loaded with awesome stuff I'm totally into :). There's heaps I can learn from you, so big thanks for that. Wishing you all the best up there!

They are part of the frame build I purchaced from Strawhat Aerial.
What is the all up weight of the craft?
I believe if memory serves me 4.2kg
good sound design
Thanks for listening
