I'd like to hear more about the tower mapping jobs you have posted about. I live in the middle of Missouri, am part 107 and own a P4P with extra batteries. Thank you for any info you can provide.

From what I've read there is a problem with the screen freezing on S21 while recording in 4k at higher fps depending on the processor in the phone. Supposedly the Snapdragon processor they generally use in the US doesn't have the problem according to some posts, but I don't know from personal...

I’d give that one a hard pass unless they are paying TOP dollar. A unobstructed view of 35 miles of water line could be quite difficult without the airspace restrictions you mentioned. Keeping the flights VLOS will require a lot of effort on your part. In addition, I fail to see how paying you...

My bad. I don't see where OP is from from my end. I didn't take the reference to Dubai as a statement that where they were at. I should have said to make sure he or she has whatever registration, license or certification is required where they want to fly.

Since you say you're new to drones, don't forget you'll need your part 107 certification before you do any work professionally for clients.

Just Wow! pretty much says it all not only for the flying and catching, but for that whole Ocean Race.

Those famous last words come to mind. "Hey everybody! Watch this!"

Wouldn't call the police in that situation unless I saw someone get injured or some property was damaged. If I was close by I might speak with the pilot and try to educate them. If you told me it was none of my business, I might take issue with that since the rules being broke could be...

The FAA rules have not changed according to their website. It still all depends on what you do with the pics or video you take. If you are compensated in any way for your images, you are flying under part 107 and need that waiver to fly at night after civil twilight. If you are not being...

Oh, and shop around for those 2 books. You should be able to get them for 15 bucks apiece or less. Half that if used.

2 books - ASA Remote Pilot 2020 Test Prep and Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement (FAA-CT-8080-2H) which is the book you'll use during the actual part 107 test.. In addition to those, any free online practice tests you can find and of course any you tube videos.

How is the license or certification card handled for those of you that have an actual manned pilot's license. Do you get a new card when you are retested? Do you keep your original card and carry a piece of paper showing you've passed a recurrent test? What if we all still carried our driver's...

What did you do to get a copy of your AKTR? I don't need one at this time, but if I did, I foresee a hassle. As i mentioned, I can still log in to PSI website, but I don't see where they have record of my initial test in 2018 or the recurrent test I took a month ago. My guess is I can't get a...

I appreciate everyone's input, but I still can't believe there is no way to prove my certification is renewed other than to carry a copy of my AKTR which looks no more official than a forged note to be excused from class. Not only do I not see any way to verify it is renewed thru the FAA...

Not sure if they're giving extensions, but seems to me that as long as you have your original UAS pilot card that should suffice for now even if it has been 24 months since it was issued.
