Hello from Idaho. I'm a new drone owner, as of two weeks ago. Today I discovered Idaho State Law 21-213. It appears to make all drone photography illegal. Which is typically my luck in life. Anyone familiar with this have any insight to share? ...or know anyone who wants to buy a very...

I fly out to bali next week and would love to take my drone. i have no problems with the airport side of things but more so the local laws over there. I've read on some sources that you need to apply for a licence and all this other stuff if your drone has a camera. but without a camera as long...

These powered paragliders are heavy, and gasoline powered with a dangerous rotating propeller strapped on a mans back and can fly as high as any drone. Am I correct in thinking that they need not be registered with the FAA, there is no licensing or training required? Yet there is public...

Hi everyone, I am going to Europe (France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Finland, and Switzerland) this December and as I read more about regulations in Europe, I get more confused. Can you share with me some experiences of using the drones there? If I use a drone lighter than...

Forgive the following question, since this is after all the Phantom Pilots forum...and this does not regard Phantoms but does regard Rules and Regulations... Okay, talking commercial use here. It is clear that aircraft with a takeoff weight between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds has to be...

Hello all, Been studying for my part 107 test and just recently bought the P4. My goal has been to start a drone business. Event video, construction survey and maybe real estate. I have been closely focused on the FAA rules evolving and once they became active on the 29th of August I figured I...

I see many threads here on PP (and FB) where people don't have a firm grasp on some of the most needed FAA Terminology and it could cause confusion if you're not careful. In an effort to help get more people onto the right "path" one of my friends from the FAA crafted this post to help clear up...

Hi guys! I just moved to Panama, specifically in Costa Del Este and I have been doing my research about the regulations here. Unfortunately most of the information I have found are in Spanish. I had a friend translate the information provided from Autoridad de Aeronautica Civil website but...

Since Part 107 is rumored to be coming in June or sooner (at least that's what I've read), what should those of us who are already experienced drone pilots be reading and studying up on in order to pass the test and/or any other requirements that are likely to be part of it? I want to be ready...
