    Can I do a search and rescue without a Part 107 License?

    You don’t call it search and rescue. It’s kinda like having a camp fire in the city. Most of the time burning is illigeal. It’s not illigeal if you have a pack of hotdogs nearby and your using it to cook. So my advice is your flying as a recreational hobbyist and leave it at that.

    Bottom LED reflector, what do you folks think of this?

    I have found that these lights mess with the sensors before take off, and put the drone into an uncontrollable state.

    Lost my second DJI drone....this time a Mavic Air 2

    My custom Mavic air 2 paint job

    Those are factory props. I really took a look of time and detail taping off vents, sensors, motors, I then spray painted the body with primer and paint. I took the regular props and sprayed them with just a sliver paint. I then taped of all contacts on batteries side contacts, bottom contacts...

    Mavic air 2’s are unexplainably falling from the sky

    I have flown over 100 flights, and never had an issue. I also use UAV forecast. I never chance it unless conditions are right, and I have at least 12 satellites locked. Remember humidity higher up and temp play a big role at 300 ft. Even if it’s 90 outside and very humid, I don’ t go up. Even if...

    Use of Drones to record civil unrest.

    You would be pushing the envelope taking off and then flying over a national park. I personally do not want the faa or feds showing up at more door, just for pictures over a national park. I think, not sure but you can request a waiver for a national park. You would have to research that. I also...

    POLL: As a drone pilot how low is "to low" when flying over personal property without asking or notifying property owner

    You have to put yourself in those people shoes. If your teenage daughter or wife is laying out by the pool, and a drone rolled up, I would be pissed to. Or circling my property.

    Faa: it’s illigeal to interfere within and emergency scene, such as fires ect. Now it’s not illigeal to fly from a distance of an emergency scene. Just dont interfere.
