Congrats on the new drone! I've been eyeing the Neo 2 :) I'm not suggesting anything about you, your drone, or your particular circumstances. That's between you and the FAA. From a regulatory perspective, any drone flown under Part 107 must be registered. Therefore, it would be a violation to...

Cool! I do appear to have been quite verbose. LOL Summary: For any other Canadians who find this and want to fly their drone (including a DJI Mini) in the USA under recreational (44809) rules, I think the easiest approach is to register the Mini in Canada, file an NOI (free) through the FAA...

Part 107 doesn't have any restrictions on the reason you are flying. If the drone is registered under 107 and the PIC has a 107 cert, they can fly for work, research, recreation, whatever, as long as they obey the regs.

You are correct that neither replaces the other. To fly under 44809 you require TRUST. To fly under Part 107, you require a Part 107 remote pilot cert. But you are incorrect when you claim that a Part 107 pilot operating under Part 107 requires TRUST. There is no such requirement. For those...

In case anyone reads this in the future, this is incorrect. If you wish to fly recreationally under 44809, then you require TRUST. If you have a Part 107 certificate, you can fly recreationally under Part 107, in which case TRUST is not required. The only practical reason for a Part 107...

I see you asked quite a while ago, but didn't get much of an answer. I'm a Canadian who regularly flies in the USA. In Canada, having a sub-250 drone exempts you from the requirement for a pilot certificate and registration. You can also fly your sub-250 drone in controlled airspace without...
