Maybe is 3 months retroactive in NJ?
Sure. Why waste the effort when users can just disable the feature anyway, and do so. I had a DJI drone and disabling the altitude limit was just a tickbox.
Bruh this is going to lead to some troubles. Sure the tiny drone under limits damaged a plane but that doesn't mean you should allow bigger drones in the area.
why were they locked out of flying over wildfires?
Need very low flying planes to fight fires. They had a collision recently with an unregistered drone over the LA fires.
ahh yeah that tracks, thanks
Well let's hope someone uses this relaxation of rules to pull a Luigi with a self made assassin drone then, see how quick they revert this...
