I live close to an Air Force Base, I take real estate photos for local agents. Previously, all I had to do was call the tower, advised them I was in the area, and they would give me their blessing as long as they didn't have any local traffic. Now, they said I need approval. LAANC does not...

1) I am showing BATT ERR on my controller. Is the battery toast? 2) Flying over saltwater...could salt water spray damage anything on the drone? Thanks!

Are the batteries for sale?

Thanks to everyone with your responses. I am Part 107 certified, but no, I don’t recall anything in the regs mentioning RE photo flights nor dealing with certain people. The day was bright and sunny, I have not seen the message since that day (and updating software). I must have missed the...

In a residential neighborhood in Delaware. I knock on their doors as a courtesy.

I kinda have two questions, one of which may go away with software update. 1) I was taking photos for a local real estate agent, and I got a message across the screen saying I was in a hazardous area and do I accept all responsibility? I pressed Yes, but the message never went away. I had to...

I know a new year is right around the corner, surely with new rules and regulations, but have I missed some recent regulation changes? I am seeing a ton of photos and videos from drones on a number of platforms that are at night, over congested areas, highways, a few you can see they are...

Thanks for the responses. I will look at the link above...

I know there are a lot of youtube videos on the subject, but nothing specific (that I have found) for blowing up a photo. My question today is, what camera settings are best for taking a photo from the Mavic Pro to be blown up into a poster? I have a real estate agent asking for to photo...

I was wondering your thoughts on overflying highways on a Part 107 photo flight for hire. I have not seen any mentions other than not flying over crowds. Are vehicles moving along a highway considered crowds? I can restrict myself to the median, as it is wide enough to maneuver, but for...
