part 107

I'm curious if its possible to ignore the RTH and land at max distance from home, have someone to shut down the Mavic, change the battery, restart the Mavic, then the pilot take off and fly back. (yes I'm board LOL) I'm aware this infringes on the LOS rule, but as one poster said, doesn't...

I see the regulations that you have to be 16 to take the Part 107 test but my son is under 16, he posts his videos to youtube, what happens if he monetizes them. He already has around 3k subscribers because he does all kinds of videos. I called the FAA and no one can give me a straight answer. I...

Hello All, Has anybody had any recent experience with the FAA in getting a 107 airspace authorization. I have a client that is looking for some photos of their property but it happens to be within a class D. I’m just curious what your wait time was like after submitting the application? Thanks

From what I've learned so far, it appears that there is no wiggle room when it comes to monetary compensation for any footage shot by a drone hobbyist. However my accountant, who is also a licensed small-aircraft (as in Cessna, not DJI) pilot, has suggested that there may be a bit of a gray...

I have been using a sUAS checklist template that really didn't fit me very well. I wanted something I could use for both Part 101 & 107 operations. Then, I discovered a PDF checklist (originally developed by George Stowers) that came very close to what I was looking for. The only problem was...

A friend of mine does real estate photography and asked if I would do some drone video/photos for him so he could stop losing clients. So i did some research. Studied for 2 weeks and took my part 107 test...and i passed with an 83%. Everything seemed peachy...until I got home. The name on my...

Hi, everyone. I have my Part 107 certificate, and I'm just waiting for my Mavic to arrive. In the meantime, I've been enjoying lurking around here for a while.

I'm confused on what a Part 107 does for me. I'm not in the hobby for commercial reasons (even though some day I may post some to YouTube), I simply want to fly recreationally. When using Air Map I notice when you select Part 107, almost all the smaller airports and heliports get turned off...

According to the FAA, to flight at twilight/dusk the SUA must have anti-collision lights that can be seen at 3 statute miles. Are the lights on the Mavic Pro that bright? Are they in compliance with that regulation? Thanks

I am studying for my Part 107 license and I would like to keep a log book on my iPad, that I can also access from other devices (iPhone, MacBook Pro, etc.) This would be for flight time, location, etc as well as maintenance records, firmware updates, and do on. The documentation required by...

Team, I am a 25 year pilot and hold multiple FAA aeronautical ratings. Part 107 is taken directly from the PPL test which leads me to believe that I do not have to obtain an additional sub-rating to operate a drone commercially. Your thoughts? I also read this from Skyward.com: " Every drone...

Hi there! I recently joined this site and didn't see this thread until today! I am a photographer and videographer in Northeast Arkansas, that decided to become a drone pilot! I am currently flying a Mavic Pro, and I do have my Part 107 FAA License. I try to upload videos regularly to my...

Hey everyone! Just signed up to the forum to get to know the Mavic community! I am part 107 certified licensed commercial flight in the US. Currently working on a larger portfolio piece as to market myself, but I've been making little 30 second teasers for my social media outlets. Here's a...

Good Evening, I was working an event this past weekend taking shots of a large get together on a lake with my Mavic. About 3 hours in I was preparing to take off and had 2 other drones fly into the area. I missed getting a shot that I wanted because I refused to take off having these other...

Great new video from Remote Pilot 101 on the direction that the FAA is working toward for airspace authorization and waivers:

I am in the process of starting my aerial photography business and have been flying drones for more than 3 years. I worked at a hobby shop and knew you only need to pay $5 for registration. Of course when I went to register my Mavic for business use, I came across the Federal Drone...
