I have both State Farm and DJI Care. The reason is State Farm doesn't cover commercial flights (PT 107) it only covers hobby flights. On the other hand DJI Care will cover commercial flights. State Farm is only $80 a year.
As a commercial drone pilot I earn a living using my drone. On several occasions I've submitted waiver/authorization request to the FAA to briefly fly over crowds during festivels, street fairs, etc. These were part of my proposal responding to RFQ's from various municipalities that want the...
Saw this on the news this morning. Would love to see their request for authorization to fly over crowds. I assume the NYPD is getting the required authorizations from the FAA?
I use a P4P for roof inspections and the quality is great. I use tripod mode which allows me to concentrate more on the photos and less on the flying. I'm able to easily identify loose or missing shingles, missing granules, nail popping, flashing issues just to name a few.

Maybe you can understand this. If I somehow figured a way around taking the test and flew my Phantom using the DJI app I've violated no law or regulation. The FAA doesn't care about the DJI test from a legal perspective. DJI has no authority to take any action against me what so ever for...
Be glad to! Rights come from the people granted to the government thru the Constitution. To my knowledge the government (FAA) didn't delegate any rights regarding NAS to DJI.
