“FAQs

The University is currently reviewing our UAS policy. Certified UAS pilots should adhere to all FAA regulations while on UW property. Non-commercial pilots are expected to adhere to the FAA’s Small UAS Rule (14 CFR part 107).”

Interesting. Having acquired my 107 Certification, the only rules I follow are those related to commercial operations. That means that my first go-to rules state that I cannot fly anywhere within 5 miles of any airport. Thus, commercially, there are few pieces of land in the Puget Sound area open to me without acquiring a waiver. I am hard pressed to step into the hobby arena, yet there may be many places one could fly freely for all I know. I just don't want to go there.

You are doing the right thing by asking about rules, as now that I know why I must fly within 107 regs, I am highly concerned about so many who purchase a sUAV, then just fly freely without considering major safety issues.

I do not have an answer, however, do recommend you call the nearest airport to pick their brains about how to fly (non-commercially) safely.

There are several opinions that if you're flying for fun, practice, but not for $$, you can fly per part 336 rules. Here's the link for those rules Recreational Fliers & Modeler Community-Based Organizations.
