Hello everyone!
I've had my Part 107 for about a year. I pursued this to sell prints and potentially further other business aspirations I have in the future.
I was approached about flying for a business that is well outside my field of knowledge and they want to use software I'm also unfamiliar with (Strayos). After explaining this, they said they'd like me to come on so they have a part 107 pilot, work with their crew to get them familiar with the drone, and help with the integration of this software. I quoted them an hourly rate that I felt was higher than I'm worth, and they accepted.
Is it a normal thing for a business to seek out an existing Part 107? I'd never really considered catering to businesses until this opportunity presented itself. What do you think would be an appropriate hourly rate if they provide the equipment (DJI Phantom 4) and I'm just essentially directing/teaching. Also any feedback relating to the software would be great. I have cursory knowledge of photogrammetry, although it is something I want to dive into with my recent upgrade to the Air 3.
