    Many, if not most, drone businesses and operators are flying without 107 certification. Per a popular drone website.

    Quoted from Editor of "Drone Girl". And for all that effort (re 107 cert), many drone pilots suspect the FAA isn’t actually cracking down on whether commercial businesses have licenses. Clients don’t seem to care either, they say. If other businesses are operating without a license, some say it...

    The Part 107 Exam isn't as hard as you may think. You need a 70% to Pass it.

    I took the FAAs part 107 sample exam yesterday. I never formally studied for it. I just picked up information as I needed as a Recreational Pilot over the last 2 years. Most information gathered was from Forums (like this one), the FAA guidelines themselves, Legal/law websites and Youtube...

    Air 2 Recent client work. Much easier than me getting up in an adjacent bucket.

    The client wanted stills of their linemen at work. Shooting with a Mavic Air 2 and experienced no interference from the hot lines in the area. And yes, I have the Part 107 certificate.

    Controlled Airspace altitude limit and structures

    When you have a LAANC authorization with an altitude limit of less than 400 ft AGL in controlled airspace is that limit strictly from the ground or does that include within xxx feet from a structure as well? We know that the 400’ AGL general height limit is no higher than 400’ from ground but...

    Hobbyist versus Part 107

    Hey all, I'm currently a hobbyist flier with a single (Mavic Air) SUAV. I'm actually fairly good at passing certification exams, when there's a decent test-prep, to help me learn the material that's on the exam. So three questions: 1) As a hobbyist who likes the idea of using LAANC, but of...

    Underage Drinking & Part 107

    I am aware that the FAA does not like drug and alcohol charges on pilots records. In my state, if you get an underage and go to a class, the charge will not go on your record. As a 19 year old with a 107, would getting an underage and then taking the class so it does not go on my record effect...
