I'm definitely interested & 107 certified (well, waiting on the cert to arrive in the mail, anyway).

 

[RCdancer]

A good start on the registry. We're particularly interested in states still needing a SAR pilot.

You can’t legally fly a SAR flight without 107 certification. Take the training ..... maybe it will motivate you to take the 107 test.

I’m just a recreational pilot With drone I insurance, I make no money at it. State Farm cancels insurance for 107 pilots. That’s why I was looking for a work around, just trying to be nice and keep my insurance.

I am currently a Volunteer with Longmont Public Safety. I am a member of the Citizen Volunteer Patrol. The CVP works with the Longmont Police Department.

I am a part 107 pilot, sUAS and fly a DJI Magic Air.

I would like to be placed on the DSAR register.

That's a bit of a grey area and I'm not aware that the FAA has commented specifically on SAR training. If you asked an FSDO I suspect that they would say what they always seem to say - it's not recreational - but I seriously doubt whether they would care enough to pursue it.

I don't have links to verify this but somewhere in the "regs" there is a carve out for training. That's how we are able to train Public Safety Depts and fly in training with them without them having Part 107 (although our course is designed to train them for Part 107 testing).

I'll reach out to one of my sources and see if he can "cite" where it's stated that training still falls under hobby/recreational operations so long as you're not getting PAID directly for the training.

Yeah - our philosophy is that our SAR training is open to any/everyone. And we are not paid for the training. To be put on the registry however is another matter, requiring 107 certification.

I will be designing a cool certificate (suitable for either framing or making a paper airplane with) next week to send out to everyone that attended today.
