Congrats on passing but I can't tell if you're blaming the study course for your grade or not. Test material is constantly changing to prevent cheating so I think it's unreasonable to expect a prep course to give you all of the questions you might encounter.

Remote pilot 101 was great.

I second this. Unless you have a COA that states you need to announce on CTAF, don't. Just practice "see and avoid" in class G.

Not for 107. Only if it's explicitly stated on your COA.

I completely forgot that was an option. Thanks for reminding me.

Lots of great information in that interview. Thanks for sharing.

I used remotepilot101.com only. Watched all the videos once and took the practice test. I got a 93 on the actual exam. Highly recommend that course. It's repetitive at times but I have no complaints. As much attention was placed on METARs and TAFs, I was surprised to only see 1 question about...

I've used autopilot for similar and was very happy with the results. Steep learning curve as others have mentioned but it's a really powerful app and worth learning.

Valid points. Luckily this hood is removable.

It's a manual lens so you have to set the focus and aperture before your flight. No changing it mid-flight. I use a Rokinon 24mm f1.4 for astrophography and it's a steal at the price point. I imagine the 14mm would be just as good.

This type of operation would require a waiver as the vehicles would not necessarily be stationary. § 107.39 Operation over human beings. No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft over a human being unless that human being is: (a) Directly participating in the operation of the small...

This is all helpful info everyone. Thanks. I'm currently studying for the sUAS certification and I'm slowly beginning to understand the lingo and the airspace requirements. It's been interesting to see how much confusion there has been between the more seasoned members as well. It makes me feel...

This is regarding operating within Class B airspace around LAX. I understand their airspace extends 25 miles from the airport from the surface to 10k feet. This would mean any operations in almost every part of the City of LA would require permission from LAX ATC (under Part 107). Has anyone...

Autopilot by Auto Flight Logic I did similar for a small installation (construction timeline was 2 weeks) and it worked pretty well. You'll always be limited by the accuracy of your sensors but it gets the job done.

Yes it will change. Whether or not you are required to obtain a pilot's license will likely depend what size UAS you will be operating, where you plan to operate, and how you plan to operate it. There's no definitive answer at this time as the regulations are still being formulated and...
