Hey gang. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with the "laws" concerning flying over/around other people.
Backstory... I'm strictly talking recreational only as I do not hold a part 107.
We lost a friend a few weeks back and we all decided to get together at my property and have a memorial. Say goodbye share some stories Yada Yada.
We had his initial made with luminaries on the ground out in the pasture. We all held luminaries and were in a circle with about a 30 ft circumference roughly 15 ft from center. I had my Phantom 4 hovering above the center of the group at about a 20 to 30 ft height focused on his initial on the ground.
I then climbed and rotated up to 390 ft.
The plan was to make a nice Facebook video so of curse it could be shared among friends and his parents.
Now.. Did I break any "law" by flying above the people in the circle? I did my pre flight checks and had full battery so I felt good about doing it as far as safety goes but I'm looking back wondering if I broke any "laws". And it was dusk almost dark.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading. And of course any and all answers or criticism is appreciated.
EDIT: I haven't posted the video yet either.
