Nothing

Back to OP's post: Here is the reg for Texas: GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER 423. USE OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT If you fly in Texas read it; it is very all-encomassing and confusing as heck; I have read it many times and basically you can't take pics unless employed by real estate or infrastrcuture or...

I have not and will never say anything bad publicy about our law when questioning drone flying; I agree with you and I guess I have a chip on my shoulder to folks 'giving in' and saying "don't fly there; go fly over there' and "why would fly by an airport" etc when that pilot took the time and...

Pilots are instructed to say exactly that! "Let me land then we can talk" It's a safety thing

It's absolutely true what I said; I didn't say it was more likely to crash over water than land; you said that; I said that flying over water you do not get a second chance! I also said all pilots have crashed and if they haven't yet; they will

Flying over water! It's just a matter of time before you lose it; so those who fly over the water either have plenty of money or just like the thrill of the possibility of losing it! LOL Also I have spent 100s hours on a simulator and I still crash often; if you own a drone; you will crash...

Why would anyone buy a product that prevents you from flying? Buy another brand for sure; there is nothing more irritating than geo fencing not letting you fly in an area where you are allowed to- It is why I got my Part 107 and am mostly buillding/flying racing zones in my pasture AND within...

Sorry you lost your drone; but I'll say what most are thinking: You did many things wrong and losing your drone was inevitable! Can't believe you left your drone flying and set your controller down; wife was not spotting (the drone NOT whales) as should be done with goggles; and you didn't look...

How so?

You broke no law; it will be thrown out; these people on this site telling you that you did naughty things are wrong; seems those people always say something like: "Don't take chances; you should know; why would you do that; go fly somewhere else"; Fly safe; fly within the law; you did; do they...

As a hobbiest I got my Part 107 certificate for a few reasons: 1 To educated myself--there were so many folks saying this and that and yes and no etc so I learned the regs myself--and although I am still learning I can weed out the BS and fly responsibly with no worries! 2 I live 4.9 miles...

Just more confusion from the government Now folks will think they have passed their Part 107 exam! Why are the words "Part 107" even on the certificate? Great question Jalatta!

There is no FAA reg that states that; that is a poorly worded sign--LOL Of course you can photograph w/cameras in a city park so you should be able to photograph with a drone's camera too (if not flying) --say just using the camera function only; Also a city or state can indeed make rules to...

I am seeing Class B SFC-10000 for Hermann Park; so no drone flying without Part 107 waiver and if hobbyist then ATC notification--also Airmap states the same--

Or have a visual observer--at least in the USA
