I have done some research on this, but it still baffles me. In most aspects of life, getting a license in something opens new doors and remove restrictions. Examples: when turning 16, you remove the restrictions of needing an adult with a license to drive. When you turn 18, you can now drive with more than 2 passengers in the car. In the gun world, you can get a concealed carry weapons license at 21 which allows you to carry in more places. All this make sense.
But for some reason, when getting the Part 107, you LOSE abilities that you had has a hobbyist. Wanna fly a night? Too bad. And that is just one aspect. As a registered Part 107 Pilot, I have shown I am not just some average shmuck with a drone. I should be able to do things that hobbyist cant, not vise versa. Why is it that I get more limitations then some kid with a Syma X8?
