[QUOTE="RaspPiGuy, post: 22300, member: 3962"] If the airport is 10 miles away, you're fine. I have this happen too, about the same distance away from the airport here. Because of how large and loud the planes are compared to Spark, and because you've been staring at Spark for 30 minutes in the sky, it's easy to think the plane is under 400 feet. At that distance it should be well above 400 though. It's probably at 1000+, but just looks like it's going to clip your craft. A few weeks ago I was at 300ft (Canadian max alt), when I heard a single prop coming from the west. I was very confident that I was in the right, but I lowered to 200 to be safe and watched the plane go over. I spun Spark around to face East, pushed the camera up, and snapped a bunch of pictures. After reviewing the pics, there was no plane in sight.. So in reality it was definitely so far above Spark that it was out of the FOV of the camera). It felt like it was at 300 feet, but I'm sure it was at 1000+. [/QUOTE]
