I have no problem with remote ID. It would be very helpful as a UAS pilot to be able to see other UAS’s in the area I’m flying in. As far as manned aircraft go, there is already a 100’ separation in place. We stay below 400’ and they stay above 500’. Obviously unless their landing which were not...

No, not drug related. Purely medical.

Thanks! That's what I thought after reading the reg's. Appreciate your input!

So I have a Single Engine Fixed Wing Pilots License but the FAA has denied my class 3 medical. Will this prevent me from getting my Part 107?

I bought my P4P from Cabelas for $999. They were clearancing it off because they no longer wanted to sell them in store, only on line. What a deal!

My flight instructor always drilled me, if you lost your engine right now, what would you do? I try and apply that mentality when I’m flying my drone. Always planning ahead. Stay ahead of your aircraft at all times. Once you’re unprepared, it’s almost impossible to get back ahead of the...

Common sense rules here. Remember, there is nothing more useless than the altitude above you and the runway behind you.

Wow. Looks almost identical to the helicopter that I had the encounter with!

You’re correct. Under VFR flight you have to maintain a 500’ away from basically anything aside from open water. I hold a fixed wing pilots license and have some time in rotorcraft too. When the SHTF in a rotorcraft, things go bad quickly. Basically you’ve got roughly a 45 degree decent angle...

He made several more passes over the next hour or so until it got dark. Flew the same course and altitude each time. Being a commercial operation I’m not sure how they get away with it. There were several people on the beach and in the water. All of which he is supposed to stay more than 500’...

So I’m shooting some video of the beach at 200’ and here comes this sight seeing helicopter straight at my drone! Full stick down and got out of his way but geez! He was breaking the 500’ rule for aircraft! He was no higher than 200’! I saw him coming and kept thinking no way, he can’t be that...

In my humble opinion only, just a bit to much saturation on the amusement park on the pier. A great shot with nice composition!

But it’s associated with selling the property...

You can not. If your photography is used to promote the sale of your property, that would be considered commercial and require a 107.
