    The photos remain in the USA the entire time you can upload them to the computer and do with them what you want still. But they do want them sent to them the way you took them not after you process them. Just download the app and see how many jobs are in your area there were 20 just in my...

    Eh, Just easy shots for when you have nothing better to do or you're probably out of state and want to make just a few easy bucks while on vacation

    That's the only app I've found that offers jobsites. Only other option would be go out and talk to local Realtors

    Airspace/Flight Question - San Francisco

    Nope. Once they understood what was going on they agreed.

    Have you heard of drone base yet? They give you local jobs to fly with the map inside their phone app. The minimum price you are supposed to get paid is $50 try it if you haven't.

    Airspace/Flight Question - San Francisco

    With the fact you say you're flying over private property I'll tell you my bit of advice. I do aerial photography for realtors and when I do my photos I alert the neighbors of the house I'm shooting of what I'm doing so they don't feel like I'm going to invade their privacy and cause trouble...

    Yes, A lot of the answers might fool you because the answers almost match read each question carefully, you have 2 hours to complete the entire exam. If you're not confident enough or are still having issues finding the answers I used Flight Ready ground school to review my knowledge and gain...

    Actually I'm referring to those who have no knowledge of aviation other than flying a uas. I did invest in a phone app that was $50 that helped me in the areas I kept having issues with.

    We'll I must have been sleeping when these laws changed but if anyone who is a hobbyist wants hobby flight to remain stay 5 miles away from all airports or laws will become worse. It's thanks to hobbyists who've flown their drones within these limits and didn't pay attention to the sky that has...

    I don't know why the limit would be affecting you if you're staying 200' above the terrain. The phantoms should be measuring the height over the terrain not MSL altitude. If that's really happening then something really does need changed.

    The max altitude that is set is AGL height. There are no settings for MSL. If you're flying in mountains you are fine as long as the distance from the ground to your drone does not exceed 400' but be warned that plane's flying over mountains might not change their altitude so keep your eyes and...

    I'd hate to say it but this website says otherwise. Fly for Fun My icon doesn't say Faa registered for nothing.

    Disappointed But Not Surprised

    You're right about that not being illegal. What I was saying is that it would be illegal to fly at that height and it's useful to have it set to the maximum height limit proposed by whoever controls the airspace whenever you are and for me the lateral limit would be 400 feet agl. So all I said...

    We're obviously under the laws of 2 different countries then. I'm in the USA.
