Suggest sticking with video games ;)

Thankfully, I know of no incidents beyond diversions on final to a runway by a manned aircraft (which is serious enough). I can tell you for certain that if a drone comes in contact with a light aircraft, it could become a fatal accident. I have known many pilots that have encountered birds and...

Let me be very clear about this -- I went to the FAA website and copied the link. How this converted to this scam website is beyond me. I can't retrace what I did at this point but posting a scam site is not what I intended to do. My copied link was converted. I thought it strange when it...

I guess you have not read the entire thread. A previous poster called this site a "scam"! Dronezone is the site I used. sar104 thinks this a scam site charging an extra $25. The OP couldn't remember where it was that he/she registered. I pointed out the FAA Dronezone as the place to go. So, I...

I don't know that their is another site. It seems that all roads using the FAA site lead back to this one. The FAA may have farmed this out.

This link should help. Federal Drone Registration

Part 107 Advisory Circular (AC107-2) specifies multiple ways to determine AGL and remain in compliance with the Regs. In this OP's case, I would rely on this: "Using the known height of local rising terrain and / or structures as a reference"

Really, perhaps you should put some skin in the game. Fly an aircraft with some A-hole putting your life at risk. We will see how your LOL works then.

THIS is the point some folks don't see -- Flying a UAS comes with the same responsibility as flying a manned aircraft. WE ARE PILOTS NOT GAMERS.

I might get flamed here, but as a Part 61pilot , it is my view that no one should fly unless: 1) They are Part 107 certificated or 2) If not 1 above UAS are limited by unalterable Geo Fencing to no more than 400 AGL. While I have never encountered a drone while flying an aircraft, the video's...

If you register under 336 and then want to fly under 107, you will have to re-register. Ask me how I know!!!!

My prediction - before long everyone will have to be certificated under applicable reg's.

I was wondering if Part 107 applies with respect to interference with a required crew member and would the penalties apply. For example, a PIC is in flight and is interfered with by a member of the public or LE while operating the UAS. Interference in this case would be hindering the PIC from...

I wanted to introduce myself. I am a newbie to droning and look forward to learning a great deal from the more experienced pilots. I am a SEL Instrument pilot since 1990, however I decided to take a hiatus a couple of years ago and sold my Cirrus SR22. I now enjoy tracking my car and...
