I knew this is a problem we would run across, but I didn't know just how rampant it was. I've been doing a lot of commercial real estate shoots, but came across a farm for sale. When I offered my services, I find out the guy who does the interior shots overs "drone shots" for an additional $50. After a little research I find this guy is not 107 certified and has been doing it for almost a year.
I talked with a realtor friend and find out there are 4 others that do the same thing, and one guy does drones exclusively - none are 107 certified. And the one guy has done work in class D and E airspace. It wouldn't bother me if they did the work, studied for the exam, paid the fees and then worked as a competitor. I subnit the authorization requests and wait for the FAA, while these guys are doing work I should get paid for.
How do we non-violently do away with these law breakers.
