Paranoid much?

I believe you are 100% correct.

Agreed. I have been getting calls out the wazoo for drone work since getting my 333, but any are within the 15 mile no-fly. If they extend the baked-in no-fly to 30 miles, I am truly fu7653d. I am proactively going to start looking for a DJI alternative that I can fly in the legal areas...

As a commercial drone operator, it gets me riled up that I have jumped through all of the hoops to: 1) Get a commercial Pilot's Licence 2) Bought several thousand dollars worth of drone equipment 3) Registered my drones through the FAA 4) Received a 333 exemption from the FAA 4) And comply with...

DJI to stop you from flying your drone in restricted airspace

Hmmmm... I just got back from the Washington DC FSDO, and when I told the lady there what I was trying to do, she just gave me the 8050-1. They are making this needlessly painful.

Yep, I have all of that. Exemption in hand, but getting the registration through my LLC is proving to be the confusing part. But thanks anyway. Buzz

If any of you have tried to register your UA through your LLC, I would be very appreciative for an example of the LLC letter you sent in. I'm having trouble deciphering their requirements. I have my exemption, but still need my N number...

Andrew, I received my FAA exemption yesterday, but am getting caught up on the letter I need to submit claiming that my LLC is in effect the US Citizen applying for the registration. Did you go this route and can you share an example? An example of the spec letter you had to send would also...

Nice to see some local operators here! I live in Leesburg, and primarily use my P3P for real estate work, and a bit of my own filming fun. Here is a link to the "Arial Work" age on my photography web site: Aerial Work Nice to meet you!

I was trying to track that barn for my clip. **** happens.

Very happy I decided to order the spare blades! o_O

I know I have seen this somewhere else before, but please offer any help if you are able. I have had my iPhone 6 for almost a year. Battery life is GREAT! I recently bought the P3 Professional and installed the DJI Pilot App. The first time I flew the P3 for about 10 minutes, my iPhone...

No, this is to circumvent DJI's unprecedented move to restrict flying within 15.5 miles of Washington DC! That is not an FAA or DHS rule, it was a move by DJI to prevent their company from becoming famous for the wrong reasons. It also totally f*cked my real estate photography business, as 75%...

I have had the iPhone 6 for about 9 months now, with no issues, and a great battery life. Just got the Phantom 3 Pro, and I am using up about 40% of my iPhone battery charge in about 15 minutes of flying. Ridiculous!
