It appears you have misunderstood. The COA is only granted to those that have the 333 exemptions. Within ALL 333 exemptions they require a pilots license. The COA only allows you to operate normal smaller jobs such as what you do with less limitations than before but you still have to follow the...

Congrats on the step forward. Smaller is not better when you are using one as a template though. You have to ask for an exemption for any current rule or regulation you want to be exempted from. For instance I am exempt from Airworthiness Certificates but there are a few that never asked for...

So what does this mean for the UAV Hobby? AC 91-57 is dead long live AC 91-57A – Model Aircraft Operating Standards

Until you forget you took off from it and use the RTH only to find the motors cut out 3 feet off the ground lol

Yup folks, This is exactly why the UAV hobby will be extremely regulated and ruin the fun for everyone. ;)

In order to be the PIC you do.

And that was also brought up as well. Thanks SanCap. I think this is what he was going off of when he was explaining our COA and 333 to us. NOTAM's are not a bad thing though. It just put's one more thing in the mix should someone mess with my UAS.

We questioned that same exact section and he insisted that NOTAM's were only needed within those parameters I spoke of. He cited that the 200' COA rule and even our 400' 333 rule would not be in any areas of an aircraft unless in those areas. However, we still make it a practice of filing...

I wondered the same thing and the way I had to prove it was to have the local FSDO go over it with us. We needed to prove it too but that's the way we had to do it. The FSDO sat down with us and went over the whole COA and 333 with us for almost an hour. A lot of this is still unknown by them...

Without knowing your exact exemptions it is hard to say what you are exempt from. My exemptions allow me to fly and conduct business as normal without NOTAM's unless I am within a certain mileage from an airport depending on the airport classification. None the less it is stipulated in your...

Having a debate is using fact to prove your point and win the debate by being smarter than the other opponents. NOT using your personal beliefs to justify why something "should" be the way you think it should be. The fact is that the rules are already in place, so to answer your "Hypothetical"...

With my exemptions I am allowed to gather news footage but it is stipulated that if a manned aircraft approaches I have to land regardless of any other circumstances. I don't understand whay people refuse to understand the safety of this. It's like they feel their $1259 toy is more valuable than...

OK when someone suffering from self-serving bias wants to do nothing but argue, I am done. I understand that you made the comment this is "Only Hypothetical" but you are way to determined to try and change everyone's views (not going so well by the way)and that makes no longer hypothetical and...

So as a hobbyist how do you communicate with the pilots in NAS?
