While there has been a lot written about the 14-42 mm, and lens in general, your post probably says and explains it best.

TBD

Radio tra Radio transmission towers would be a good example, and it would require you launch from the ground.

DJI software has not been adapted to Part 107 rules and is ONLY written for recreational users. As an example it knows absolutely nothing about airspace. Part 107 is all about airspace, as you know. Also it will let you fly at night which is prohibited under Part 107.

It was posted on the DJI Forum that a daytime waiver has been granted. I quote: "So, applied under my 107 certification for a waiver to fly at night for the fire department. Everything went through in less than 30 days... FAA actually pulled through on this one☺ Yes, the waiver comes with...

I agree, change your name. The only other option would be to get the other guy to change his name, and I do not think that will happen. If you do not, and he continues to operate as you have described, then you too will enjoy the same bad press he will eventually get. If his activity...

For recreational flyers the B4UFLY app will show you if you are within 5 SM of any airport. The larger problem is there are airports/heliports everywhere and many you will not be able to contact. If you do not or can not contact them you can not fly. Keep in mind that part 101 (recreational...

If a CFI signs you off, you will get your temporary the next day online. Just print it and sign it.

Midnight, Is there a implied question in your comments? If so I missed what it might be.

Glad you were able to solve your problem Snowbird, but I do not understand why this was posted under Certified UAV pilots.

I wondering what they will do for the numbering. It implies that they will not be using our pilot certificate number. If they start with the number 1, then the real bragging rights will be based on how low your number is.

I have not seen a link to the requests, but I suspect they are out there and we probably access them same way we did the 333 waivers. Regardless, you can read the conditions of the grants and frame your request accordingly. I suspect we will only be able to get a waiver for a specific...

Now, I am hiding the fact that this is a commercial flight? That was the first question they asked and I fully and truthfully answer it. For you to imply that I would have done anything other than this is way out of line and uncalled for. Accepting permission from ATC as being authorization...

Your comments are way out of line here. I clearly stated you should tell them exactly where, when and what you are doing. Your implications that I am irresponsible, lying to the controller, obscuring my intentions and bamboozling ATCT are way over the top.
