    Registration recreational to part 107?

    Only if you use it to fly commercially. Even if you do, you can still fly the same drone recreationally.

    Afraid of flying the drone?...

    I used to watch all those crazy 'let's see how far away I can fly this thing' videos; those made me nervous :)

    Mavic Air 2 SUPER BATTERY due in tomorrow. At 7350 mAh it's over twice the original capacity

    For those of us that had to look up what the heck a quid is :), that makes it about $40 US. From what I can see one quid (pound sterling) is worth about $1.38US. That still sounds to be pretty cheap.

    New drone owner! Florida

    Welcome from NE Florida. I had two drones (Mavic air and Mavic Pro Platinum) before I bought my Mavic 2 Zoom with the SC. I've since sold the Mavic Air, but still occasionally fly the Mavic PP. Having the SC is a wonderful addition for me :) That said, it was cheaper for me to by the M2Z...

    Part 107 question

    Compensation has nothing to do with it. The FAA is very specific on this. Anything other than flying as a hobby, compensation or not, requires a Part 107.

    Had my first crazy neighbor experience...

    Several weeks ago a parent in our neighborhood asked other neighbors to be on the lookout for their sons lost drone. I offered my services and mentioned that I was an FAA certificated drone pilot. They did come back and said they were happy for my help. The first thing I did was post on our...

    Aviators! Please chime in

    I was always enamored with flight. My dad was a student pilot but gave it up when us kiddies (all six of us) came along. I was always a big fan of MS Flight Simulator but that's as far as it went. I have several friends who are/were pilots; one of them an ATP (worked for United). I spent my...
