Hopefully the camera will have the 90 degree portrait rotation. Mini 3 Pro spoiled me with this option, and because of it I never fly my Mavic 2Pro or the Air 2S anymore. Probably won’t buy another drone without this option.

And what I saw at the parade wasn’t a blatant and egregious violation? LOL! If that wasn’t, then someone flying over an NFL outdoor stadium during halftime shouldn’t be either. After all there will be less people there than there were at the parade, certainly less human density, and half of the...

Let’s pretend I (part 107 RP) make a stupid decision and fly my drone on Sunday, 30 mins before Chiefs game, within 1 mile radius of Arrowhead stadium in uncontrolled airspace (let’s make it within 1/2 mile for killer footage and the higher probability of getting caught). If somehow I manage to...

No you cannot fly over people, even with part 107 license. Yes, transitional flight is allowed over people or moving vehicles when transitioning from point A to point B. These were not transitional flights by any stretch of the imagination. These drones (6 at one point in time) were zipping from...

What about the flying above thousands of people part?

Went to KC Chiefs parade at Union Station. There were drones everywhere flying right over thousands of people. At one time I counted 6 drones flying. Union Station is in a controlled airspace with chunk of it having 200 foot ceiling, while the other chunk being 50 foot ceiling. Both of them were...

Ahhhh, got it! Thanks Vic.

Taking Part 107 test tomorrow. Per my studies the minimum age to receive a 107 certificate is 16. Is there an option for someone younger (as young as 14) to potentially take/pass the test, but they would not be able to apply/receive the certificate itself? Asking as I received the following info...

Cell phones don’t fly into FAA regulated air space…

OK, so in my case, I flew my drone and took a picture, with 100% intent as part of my personal photography enjoyment. When I got home I looked at the photograph and said to myself "wow, this is a really nice photo, good job!". Later that day I was watching the local news and saw "Send us your...

Based on my new understanding, I believe the answer is: Yes, this would void your recreational exemption as others are benefiting or advancing their business interests from your videos.

A bit misleading if you go purely by the 5 questions/answers below. But if you click on the recreational flyers link in the last box you will get more information such as "...Non-recreational purposes include things like taking photos to help sell a property or service, roof inspections,..."...

Thank you everyone for all the great feedback. As part of my 107 studies, I should have focused more on the what is considered recreational versus non-recreational flight. The justification of not charging and/or accepting any kind of payment/reward for my photographs, and at the same time...

Will be taking the exam for sure. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. Bottom line is get the 107 and all these gray questions go away.
