Drone assist seems to be fully working

[Challenger]

Drone Assist is fully functional today I just submitted a flight plan

[SimonDale]

The CAA said that that will be the case ('the CAA are aware that, when using Altitude Angel’s services to request permission to fly within a Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ), incorrect notifications may be received’)

[SimonDale]

Your response does say ‘Approval Status: No service’.

[Challenger]

Agreed but approval was not actually needed because I was nowhere near the FRZ.

[SimonDale]

I think the gist of the CAA message is “We are aware that Altitude Angel is now like the Mary Celeste. There’s nobody there! Pressing buttons and sending requests may trigger it to send out weird and wonderful responses. You should ignore them, they are essentially meaningless and invalid”.

That is my reading of it anyhow.

[Challenger]

I agree, the servers are working but not being updated because the staff are.no longer there. They will be sadly missed. Let’s hope someone takes over this valuable resource. I really can’t live without it.

[SimonDale]

Agreed. Drone Assist and Drone Safety Map are excellent.

We are working on new features and overlays to the FPV UK map as fast as we can as a stopgap / alternative.
