Just to add, We recently had an exercise at a Class C airport. During our preplan days before we fired up our drone in a hangar to test our live streaming out. An airport rep was with us and on the phone with their counter drone rep. We had our own counter drone hardware up and running that can...

This quietly was released at a Paris air show. Also Parrot released Chuck 3.0 which is basically the FMU, TX/RX, VTX/RX ready to be built into a frame of your choice. It looks like it supports 4/6/8 motors, or VTOL and heli. An interesting way to make your own UKR variant.

It needs to be a kml file. Upload into Google Earth and then resave as a kml.

What software are you processing in? Agisoft Pro has a complex mission planner that does wonders. DJ Wes, your Litchi solution looks pretty cool!

One could assume, but seriously, are you trolling at this point?

If the FAA wants a gotcha question for the test to ensure most people never get a 100, this is the question, LOL. The only other question that I felt was oddly hard and not known was how many days do you have to inform the FAA in regards of your drone registration for an address change.

For an applicant under age 18, who does not possess an acceptable form(s) of identification, a parent or legalguardian is required to accompany the applicant, and after presenting identification as described in this table,may attest to the applicant’s identity The above was copy and pasted...

I know this is the internet and anyone can say anything. I just called the FAA UAS helpline and the most friendly and helpful person answered. He confirmed the above. Center by calling 844-FLY-MY-UA (844-359-6982). If anyone calls to confirm he most likely will comment on this being a hot...

You can sit for the test at age 14. Your parents provide ID and state that the child is who they say they are. If the child passes the test they receive the test results form. The key thing here is that this form lasts for two years. (Other ratings are the same, where you can sit for the test...

Or your parent/guardian present theirs.

What you linked (unless I missed it) does not answer the age 14 ability to sit for and take the test. You can 100% sit for and take the Remote Pilot test. You results form is good for 2 years. When you turn 16, you can submit your pass results to IACRA and receive your Part 107 certificate...

Good luck! Keep us informed as if you're successful other may take a shot. I'm a bit jealous as the Mav 4 looks to be a great drone.

How hard was it to get and operate under Part 137? Any tips on making the process easier?

PSI Testing has had the age 14 to sit for the test on their site for years now. The age 14 is also on the Knowledge Testing Authorization Requirements Matrix PDF document from the FAA. The only thing I could find in the CFR is this in section 3: § 107.67 Knowledge tests: General procedures...

You must be 14 to sit for the test. https://www.psionlinestore.com/faa-uas-drone-test-preparation/ If you take this at a PSI test center, you get your score as soon as you finish the test. Take the test completion form, go to FAA IACRA, log in and follow the process to obtain your Part 107. You...
