[P4P; Part 107 Aerial Provider]
Here's the official FAA breakdown of total Part 107 licenses as of AUG01 (by region/state/county; updated monthly): Airmen Certification: Regional Active Airmen Totals
Curious to get feedback from this forum as to how many businesses (as a percentage of total Part 107 licenses) buy their own drones and use company employees with Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates to fly Part 107 missions on behalf of the company as opposed to contracting a 3rd party Part 107 Aerial Photo/Video provider. Examples would be Construction Companies, Real Estate Agents, Environmental Consultants, etc.
I've spoken to a couple lately who did this and I sensed that both regret the decision. "Seemed like a good idea at the time" responses. I pitched my services to them and they both wanted to hear more. I consider myself to be fairly current with new applications, techniques, hardware, etc, and it appeared they were out of the loop and wanted to learn more, especially after I showed them examples/exhibits. Your thoughts...
