If you don’t make money with your drone, that is a completely different animal, but if someone is charging for their services they need to be Part 107 certified.Hey, my question is everyone keeps using the "Part 107" standard but as I understand it, the wedding photographer wasn't a Part 107 pilot so how are these regs applicable to them? I understand that hobby flyers have rules, I'm just asking why the term "Part 107" keeps being bandied about? It's funny because I filmed a family member's wedding and didn't feel the need to abide by "Part 107 regulations" or whatever. I was on private property, filming a private event, with the knowledge and presumably consent of everyone present. I'm wondering why it's being assumed this person was Part 107 or even needed to be?
That was not just an assumption that the wedding photographer in question was a part 107 certified pilot, that is clearly displayed on his web site. Anyone generating income doing weddings in the USA needs to be Part 107 certified, so even without him stating that on the website, the fact that he was promoting his wedding UAV services would mean he would have to be part 107 to do so.
