Fox is a leading broadcaster of Drone/UAV coverage. I believe they tout they have the most licensed FAA Part 107 pilots than other networks.

So will having a FAA Part 107 in the US allow for easier permission/exemption to fly in CA?

Well for freeways its pretty solid assumption there is a lot of rebar within this raised bybass thus could interfere with the compass etc. Knowing the location to a substation or high voltage power lines/radio towers are pretty nice to know as well, but outside of testing for this interference...

So as i know it to be is there is no setback distance required from roads just not "over" so I have gone up to but not crossing any edge of the road (side, culvert, curb, etc). always clearly defined as no where touching the "road" (which im sure the DOT definition of a road varies by state)...

So as far as I understand flying over someones house is not illegal, but say hovering over a backyard pool with someone sunbathing in the back or trying to peak through a window is another story. Just respect the privacy of your neighbors, I try to stay a good distance ~120 ft. above houses...

The course I took remotepilot101 gears their course to relevant test question information and stays up to date on the latest rules/regulations being tested. It is also a lifetime course and has a recurrent testing section as well for when that time comes, again keeping up with the latest...

I don't think it will matter if you take the exam prior to the changes, as far as I read it the changes wont be effective until Jan 13th, so from that point on moving forward you would need to go through that process, prior should not matter once underway of the exam, and IACRA process. At...

I used remotepilot101 very intuitive and only the information/videos you need directly related to the exam. Its also lifetime and will help for the recurrent testing.

Welcome to the boards, fellow keystoner here as well

Nice shots, but becareful as launching and landing in PA State Game Lands or State Parks has been banned unless that has been lifted recently.

I never charge my batteries if I’m not going to be around to be able to monitor them frequently

I thought you were not allowed to operate drones in a swarm?

This does not mention it specifically, however, gives a contact number to call, and other applicable laws. https://uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-sri-lanka/ However, this article makes it seem like the ban is still in effect http://www.colombopage.com/archive_19B/Aug09_1565370967CH.php

I hear you on that, but during a weekend off hours no events, i dont really see the need. As a responsible part 107 holder i understand the validity of wanting to do things with permission. But even if the drone gets lost on school property, technically its public property of the tax payers, at...

I was not aware that School Zone areas became no drone fly zones? What is the basis for this, is it a school rule? If so the school cant govern the sky but possibly be the property as far as launching and landing. Just launch and land from another area and should not have any issues as long as...
