    Getting Certified

    A DPE charged me $50 to process and issue the temp certificate. Oddly enough, my CFI wanted to charge me a full hour, which was much higher, and they can't issue a temp cert.

    DroneXchange Update

    Hi all, I've received some excellent feedback so far on options and other features that are available. One thing that has come up is regarding the Classifieds area and buyer to seller payment. At this time, there is no built-in buyer to seller gateway for classifieds. Sellers can select the...

    Footage taken during a Hobby Flight...

    tcope: I think perhaps my point has been missed, but with forums like this, it's not difficult to do. If you will read my updated post, I think you will see I'm using these examples as a big picture look at the FAA and how they interpret things, rather than down in the weeds details. You are...

    Idaho Drone Ban

    Florida has a similar privacy law, but it applies only to sUAVs. Which I find odd because helicopters can do this no problem. Also, the Florida law is civil only, meaning no criminal action by police. A person can sue the sUAV pilot for damages.

    Can I buy a Pro controller to control a Pro + ?

    Yep. iPad Mini is the perfect fit and size for flying. I think Apple is about to release an iPad Mini Pro, so I'm looking forward to that.

    Phantom 4 Pro - For Sale ***Sold - Traded***

    Yes, it is new...and we are currently advertising here on Phantom Pilots as well as Google Adwords. I believe someone made the first post this morning. I'm also looking for a re-seller who might want to sell their products as a store on there.

    Footage taken during a Hobby Flight...

    Yes, I should have clarified why I was posting such different cases and the outcomes. My point was really to indicate how the FAA thinks and how they view "compensation". Not so much to indicate whether they won their case or not. In fact, both cases were actually prior to Part 107 being...

    Footage taken during a Hobby Flight...

    I'd urge caution with this interpretation. The FAA has already fined people who posted their "hobby" flights on Youtube. The justification...because the user could "potentially" earn revenue from advertising. It mattered not why they were flying, or what their original intent was, or even if...

    Twitching film issues

    Sorry it has taken so long to get back to this. I just shot some footage with my P4P at 4K/60fps and the video was perfect. I did transfer the file to my PC hard drive, which I would always recommend, before playing it. Did you ever determine what the problem was?

    Class E (700' floor) airport manager tells me I can't fly. Now what?

    We'll have to agree to disagree again. Safe flying!

    Class E (700' floor) airport manager tells me I can't fly. Now what?

    Exactly! Some of the things the FAA is doing can be very confusing to even experienced pilots, not to mention confusing the snot out of new ones. This is absolutely one of them that causes the most grief. Recently, I submitted thru the online portal a request to fly in Class D airspace at an...
