The 107 rules allow for flight operations with more than one person, provided that there's a clear Remote PIC who has a 107 license in charge of the operation.
Two questions:
1) Suppose I have a buddy who wants to check out flying drones, but they don't want to do the TRUST thing (easy, I know) until they're sure they like it. As I read the reg, they can fly under my remote 107 supervision, without yet having taken the TRUST exam, but they'd have to take the TRUST exam before flying by themselves. Yes? That's certainly the way it works with Part 61 instruction, and it looks like 107 works that way as well. Comments?
2) Now, suppose my buddy liked it, and he got his TRUST cert done. He wants to do some photography which he would then use for a commercial purpose. The way I read the reg, he can shoot that photography under a 107 operation that I supervise, and then legally use the photography for commercial purposes. Yes? It seems like that has to be the case, but I haven't seen it discussed here, so I figured I'd ask.
Comments?
Thx!
