I appreciate the advice, I really do. But sending links and telling me to read the info doesn't help when questions arise and they aren't answered. I have read the CFRs, the summaries, the NPRMs, etc. several times - both prior and after my 107 cert test. It's like telling someone to read the...

I don't need sugar coating. I was writing how I took the responses. I'm sorry if I offended. If you read my original posting to this section of replies, I stated "there are NO rotary drones with FAA DoCs". I didn't say anything about categories or RPIC self-certification. If you go back and...

I'm sure he has. His arrogance and condesending attitudes towards counter comments clearly shows that. I do understand I am no expert and I'm learning all the time. When I read the reg and how I (and many of my fellow pilots that I converse with) understand them needs adjusting. Clarification...

maybe you can help understand what OOP actually means then. If transient flying over crowds is permitted without meeting any categories, and you state "open-air assembly" what other types of OOP are there?

It's not a questions of right vs wrong with me. It's interpretting rules and regs that the FAA put out consistently and clearly. Obviously they didn't do that as many individuals interpret them like I do. The sematical games played in regs like these (which I've dealt with my entire adult life)...

Since transiant flights over people do not constitute OOP, what else is there? But, seeing as how your and expert and all, everyone else must be wrong. Have a great day!

Well, all I have to say is, I hope you never get into a situation where a person is injured. Modifying the Mini 2 to skirt the issue at hand would probably go against you. And searching the DoC website, the Mini 2 doesn't show up as Remote ID compliant. I'm no expert but it seems it's still...

I'd like to know which ones you are flying, since there are NO rotory sUAS on the FAA website with DoCs. The fact they all have exposed rotating parts. Category 1 small unmanned aircraft are permitted to operate over people, provided the small unmanned aircraft: Weigh 0.55 pounds or less...

There are other things that come with 107 cert. Ability to fly 400' over an object (REC flyers are limited to a height of 400' ONLY). Plus there is the personal satisfaction of knowing you at least understand the basics of Air Space and the regs.

There ARE NO ROTORY wing OOP Compliant sUAS (up to 55lbs). IMO none will be due to kinetic energy ratings, speeds and weights all be too variable. Read Any 107 certified pilot knowns you can transit people (brief crossing). FAA is all about safety (and collecting data to use against us, but...

I work in Chambersburg. Maybe we do a flight together one day. I have a lot of open areas around me.

You're spot on. The only UAS with a DoC for OOP is a fixed wing. I can put a blade guard and already have a DoC for RiD with my Air 2S, but it's the kinetick energy. The Virgina Tech testing method will hopefully get some crafts approved within certain configs

That's old. With a DoC, you can meet one of the categories to fly over people. Currently, no rotory blade craft is cleared. Only one fixed wing. The issue as I've been told by various FAA persons is the kinetic energy. It's nearly impossible to calculate this without knowing the speed at time of...
