Contract out those services? Might be something that retired officers could offer and resolve a lot of issues.

I’m sorry. I don’t see any mention of the word “hobbyist” when the law notes the restrictions against night flying. Can someone point out where they are specifically excluded?

Thanks for the detailed information. Just what I was looking for and what I suspected. Know of a couple of guys that are operating outside of these restrictions but the attitude is “**** it, I am the law and don’t have time for this crap”. I don’t tolerate that kind of stuff but now I should be...

Are police/law enforcement officers required to be part 107 certified? The question came to mind today when I read the following story. The drone was used to track down a suspect and while I agree it’s a great approach it seems like they would have to be 107 certified. The pilot of a helicopter...

67. First drone P4P.

Ok, where would be the proper location(s) for mounting a tracker?

This is pretty cool. Thanks for making that resource available. I'm new to this and hope you will still have them available by the time I get to editing my own videos.

Personally, as much as I dislike people (government) interfering with my daily life, I can't find fault with DJI. I thought the test was simple and all it did is to remind me of some basics. While I am a new drone pilot I do, and always have felt that there are so many people out there with very...

Anyone in Little Rock / Cabot area?

Still in Cabot? New user here.

That’s cool. Haven’t had any bad effect as far as flying?
