Batteries ARE good enough for a 10 minute flight from airport to the office tower.

@cjd but not a 15 minute flight from the office to the airport.

Better hope ATC doesn’t put you in a holding pattern.

It should be pretty obvious that they're not going to intersect any flight paths which might require that, and their FAA certification is going to explicitly classify them as exempt from this ever happening.

I mean that's just part of the definition of FAA approval for such a craft...
