  • The Eastern Sierra region of California is a special place. Though far less popular than Yosemite National Park, the region is home to multiple hot springs, high alpine peaks, and ancient bristlecone forests with trees that have been around for nearly 5,000 years.

      You asked so I'll be honest. I was expecting to see a lot more footage of the places. Instead most of the video is watching a woman in slow motion. Not my cup of tea. The shots that DID show the scenery were stunning.

    Did you get some sort of special permit to fly around the Mono Lake Tufas? I was told that drones are strictly forbidden there (so I flew north of Mono Lake instead).

    • @JohnConrad
      @JohnConrad  Před 6 lety +2

      Yes, it is prohibited. I learned this after the fact. When we arrived, the rangers were gone for the day (sunset). I didn't see any no-drone sign, checked the Hover app and it gave the all-clear. It wasn't until after posting the video I learned that they prohibit drone flights. Although they should register it as a NFZ with the FAA to make it official, I apologize for flying there.
      Technically speaking the parks service doesn't have jurisdiction over the airspace, and unless they register it as a NFZ it's somewhat of a "gray" area. But nevertheless I don't want to set a bad example.

    • @AZGeek520
      @AZGeek520 Před 6 lety

      Thanks for the reply. I'm not an LEA and wasn't trying to come off as a narc, so no need to apologize to me. I agree that they don't do a good job of posting any signage, but I have heard of at least one pilot getting "fined" by the ranger(s) there. There also is an airstrip within 5 miles of the south tufa formations and I'm surprised that didn't show up on airmap.

    • @wannabetowasabe
      @wannabetowasabe Před 5 lety +5

      @@JohnConrad Be advised that flying over a wilderness area is also prohibited also, be that on lands managed by the National Park Service (National Park System), U.S. Forest Service (National Forests), Bureau of Land Management (federal public lands) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (National Wildlife Refuges). In addition drone flights are prohibited over an lands in the National Park System. You are not familiar enough with these various classifications, as evidenced by your words "parks service." South Tufa and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest are both on the Inyo National Forest as managed by the U.S. Forest Service. This is not a grey area at all. I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service and have lived in the eastern Sierra for 37 years and was a "Forest Protection Officer."
      Saying that there weren't any "no drone" signs is not good logic. There aren't any signs saying "don't light wildfires" either. A drone operator has the responsibility to know where and under what circumstances drones can be flown. Not every regulation and United States Code can be posted on every parcel of federal, state, county or local land.
      Drone flights at or adjacent to wildland fires can't be signed either, yet the use of drones is extremely dangerous in such circumstances and a temporary flight restriction is not required to make drone flights illegal in such cases. There have been some near mid air collisions between drones and firefighting aircraft and the firefighting aviation has been forced to shut down on some fires when drones have been spotted. This stoppage could affect the eventual size and damage of such wildfires, possibly resulting in the loss of a structure, subdivisions and even portions of or entire towns as well as endangering firefighters on the ground who depend of aircraft resources to keep them safe.
      Each of the federal agencies I listed above have information on their websites that address these issues and others. I would suggest doing additional research.

    • @wannabetowasabe
      @wannabetowasabe Před 5 lety

      I am not aware of any regulation or Forest Supervisor's Order that prohibits the landing, takeoff and operation of drones at or above the Mono Lake Tufas. From April 1st to August 1st there is a restriction on being within 1 mile of Negit and Paoha Islands and this is due to bird breeding, brooding and nesting, but as far as I know there is no restriction of drone use at South Tufa or any other tufa formations at Mono Lake. I'm not positive about any state laws that might apply to disturbing or harassing nesting Peregrine falcons who use the tops of some isolated tufas for a portion of the year for breeding, brooding and nesting.

    Awesome! I love Mammoth, only 6 hrs from home and been there for ski seasons , Just wonder Crowley Lake and Mono Lake are very close to Mammoth-Yosemite airport , how do you get around with drone shots
    Beautiful video.

      He's probably a licensed commercial drone pilot

    Great video and just checking on your channel. But it looks like nothing has been new for about a year(?)

    Really nice video! I see this was shot 3 years ago and on my trip to Mono Lake a week ago I see that they have signs prohibiting drones now. Can you still fly with special permission?

    Aren’t some of these places a do not flight zone? (Mono lake).
