What if I fly my drone too high?

If you dive deep into its settings, you will see that the maximum altitude is set by default to 120 meters or 400 feet. If you attempt to fly beyond this limit, the drone will simply stop gaining any more altitude and just hover in place.

Can you fly a drone in high altitude?

It is certainly possible to fly a drone in the mountains, although you might have some degree of difficulty if you are in very high mountains, due to lower air density at higher altitudes. You may also see some shorter flight times due to a greater drain on your batteries from altitude as well as cold.

Can I use a drone on a mountain?

Flying for fun All Parks Canada places are “no drone zones” for recreational use.

Is it legal to fly drones at night?

Can you fly a drone at night? Simply put, yes you can. But, there are different rules and regulations depending on what your purpose is for flying your drone and where you choose to fly it.

What happens if you fly a drone over 400 feet?

If you attempt to fly beyond this limit, the drone will simply stop gaining any more altitude and just hover in place. The problem with this approach is that it doesn’t take into consideration the presence of any large structures within 400 feet of the drone which would have allowed drone flight beyond 400 feet.

Can drones fly at high altitudes?

The justification is that manned aircraft will still clear of these tall structures, making it perfectly fine for drone to fly around them at higher altitudes. Licensed drone pilots are also expected to be skilled enough to handle such circumstances. Are there drones that prevent you from flying above 400 feet?

What happens if a drone crashes into an aircraft?

The airspace beyond 400 feet is large and the chances of running into another aircraft are astronomically low, but the potential consequence of a drone crashing into a manned aircraft can be disastrous. We’re sure that no drone pilot would want to be the cause of a tragedy at that scale.

Can you change the altitude limit on a DJI drone?

To give drone pilots a bit of flexibility, most drones allow the maximum altitude limit to be changed. In the case of DJI drones, the limit can be changed to any value between 2 to 500 meters. Changing the limit will prompt you to confirm that you accept all responsibilities related to the change of the altitude limit.
