...and a Happy New Year?

Excuse me? I filed a report against someone that was breaking the laws. Instead of being held accountable he was rewarded by the FAA. Nothing personal or petty about this, simply a fact. Do you think the FAA should ignore people that violate their own laws? I don't, sorry if that means I...

LOL Gotta love the worthless FAA.

Turning people into the FAA is a complete waste of time. They will do nothing. You can provide emails, photos, video evidence of repeated law violations and the FSDO will thank you for wasting your time and do absolutely nothing. Or reward the pilot - and you think I am kidding huh? Read...

Oh yeah. We use Neary Aerial for our drones. Bill Colorado Dronography

Good luck on your test!

Thanks.

It works great and its much better than our old AIG policy. Bill Colorado Dronography

Hey Bob, What about working for an established drone company? That way you could avoid all the business issues like marketing, taxes, legal issues, direct sales, overhead and expenses, etc. and still do what you enjoy doing. All we did to market ourselves was post our work online. Of course...

I would start with what you know. If you can take great still photos but are still too shaky to do smooth videos then start with that. Are you going to be doing all your own editing? Can you use Lightroom? Photoshop? Premiere? If a customer called you up today and asked for a Twilight...

Cool! Good luck and let us know if/when you hear back and their response. Thanks, Bill Colorado Dronography

I understand all that. I was asking if any 107 ONLY Pilots as in never had a 333 ever - have been given waivers of airspace. Sorry if I didn't explain that better. Bill Colorado Dronography

That's awesome! I would like to know if any 107 ONLY pilots have been given any waivers for airspace. So far all the guys I know of have 333's as well. A .5NM radius is rather limiting though. :( Is your other one the same? I would need several of those just to cover one city my company...

Hey Matt, I'm waiting to see the verbiage myself. The waiver I was talking about was for a CFI/107 Pilot in Ocala, FL. It had a 1NM Radius, 100ft AGL limit and no NOTAM needed to be filed. He didn't need to call or radio in either. It was just for that one flight though, not a blanket...
