    Would you fly in a drought-stricken area during a "burn ban"?

    Oh, the possibility is there... Regardless of how small that possibility is, we should treat it kind of like Covid19 and shut down all flights including commercial until further notice.

    Never flown before....do I need the propeller guards

    Not necessary. Don't be scared, be careful.

    CATS pre-registration question

    I registered and paid at 2:00pm and they contacted me the next day around 11:00am.

    Is the 30% low battery level setting good?

    I don't mind getting a warning at 30%. It gives me enough time to finish what I am doing and start heading home without having to rush. I usually end up landing at 15-20%.

    Just hover a few feet above your landing point until the battery runs down and then land.

    Hobby Registration vs. Commercial Registration

    I registered commercially under "Non-Model Aircraft" electronically and did not get a "N" number. The certificate number is ten characters long! (FA****9***) Not sure how I am suppose to put that on such a little bird?

    *** Posting About Your 107 Results? POST IT HERE!

    Barely passed mine today with a 75% but glad I made it. Guess my 59 year old brain cells ain't what they used to be. Proctor told me I was the 30th person he gave the test to. Said the highest score he had so far was 88% and three people didn't make the cut.

    Took The Part 107 Test Today

    Passed mine today also. It was harder than I thought it would be, but preparation made all the difference for my old brain cells.... I haven't had to do a test for over 30yrs!

    FAA Requirement of 3 Mile visibility in night flights under part 107

    How do you know they are not visible at 3 miles, in the dark, on a clear night....

    Launching from houseboat questions

    The steel roof will probably result in compass error. RTH will be the coordinates where it took off from....

    Flying from inside the car

    I've had no problems with "Follow Me" from inside a 2015 pickup truck. On one mission I went 7 miles at 150' AGL. Worked flawlessly.

    So I finally crashed :\

    Is there any obvious damage? Any cracks, prop damage, gimble, motors spin freely? If everything looks good, charge up a battery and take it for a spin. I had my first crash a month ago. Hit a tree branch at 180' and it fell, striking another branch before ending up in a briar patch. Got lucky...

    how to get commercial license

    Wonder why they said to bring one? Which ACS are you referring to? Either way, I got one and plan on getting familiar with reading VFR sectional charts, plotting a course and reading METAR reports. Even if none of it is on the test I find it all intriguing and it can't hurt to know...

    how to get commercial license

    I registered for the test and was told I should bring a E6-B pilot's computer and plotter. If you don't know what that is (I didn't ) look it up. Good luck to people who think they can "wing it".... Better get studying.
