You do if you are flying under the understanding that it will be a "recreational flight" and not a "commercial" flight, even if you are a Part 107 Operator.

What base are you concerned about?

I wonder which areas of the US will be released first. Areas near Class B? Major cities? Rural areas?

I'm on week 8 of my waiver request. 6 weeks just to get a tracking/receipt number for my request for Class D.

Check with the laws in Mexico. I know they do not recognize the Part 107 from FAA.

what do you mean "no one really knows"??? It's right there in black and white. You can fly in US Forest Service areas. i.e. National Forests You cannot fly in National Parks. Well you can't take off or land in National Parks, but you can stand outside the boundary to operate the UAS and...

First of all, I just briefly skimmed the video. Did it show the UAV landing or taking off from the Park? I can see how the city wants to limit flying in, around, above, from the parks.... but they don't have jurisdiction. They can only legally proven you from what you do on the ground. So you...

And was the waiver granted to the operator? I don't see on the application where you can request for a company to have a waiver (and any operator for the company can be covered). Education requested.

So how did Fox News get an airspace authorization? Or did they have a waiver on file?

Same thing happened to me when I was in RTH. I wanted to cancel it and could not get out of the full screen view. Scary moment.

horizontal is landscape. you mean you see it in portrait/vertical and will not rotate horizontal/landscape?

I would suggest you go to their meetings. If the minutes are made public I assume the meetings are also open to the public. Go and educate them. Be a representative for your area. Show them that sUAS operators are not all kids being stupid with their flying machines.

And we all know you must be "verbatim" with the FAA and other Federal Agencies. Though I don't have the expertise as Big Al or Richard (not sarcasm) I would tend to lean towards Gold Seal's opinion/statement. I also see the point of no air traffic within 400ft. of the tower anyways.

I call it the two syllable word: pus_ _ :-P

I believe he thinks we shouldn't be flying at night. I'm confused as well.
