Yesterday I received the same email many of you did explaining the new app from Drone Base. I figured we could discuss thoughts and experiences here. I haven't read the blog yet, just skimmed the email. I have the app (obviously) , but haven't hooked the P4 to it yet. It looks as if some of the...

I am wondering if I need my remote pilot license for what I am being asked to do. I started doing some video and photography work at the location of my employment because of some unusual subject matter and access to unique scenes. My employer has since seen the footage and likes it... and...

Hey guys, curious if anyone has used Stratux or similar ADS-B receivers for commercial drone flights. This would be just to see ADS-B equipped aircraft in the vicinity of my flights, to increase situational awareness of the surrounding airspace and possibly get a heads up on aircraft that may...

Hi Everybody, I've done searches on the forum but haven't really found an answer to this with the exception of a link or two. I've scoured YouTube and even though there are some videos to learn this, they are not all that great from a perspective of someone who is new to this field. I've been...

...for Drone360 Magazine. I've posted on other forums and have gotten a lot of responses that run the gamut of "that's dangerous" to "the FAA is too strict." Would love to hear your feedback. Drone360 Blog

I found the testing center websites and the FAA's .pdf to be less than convenient, so I made a map of all of the testing centers. The data is taken from the FAA's list and was last updated on 12/14/16. Link to the map. I hope it helps!

Hello, I was speaking to a gentleman today who has retired from the oil and gas industry. He wants to get into 3D mapping for oil and gas companies. However, where he would be working has no WiFi and no cell service. Is there any mapping software out there that works will no WiFi connection or...

Good morning/afternoon everyone, My name is Mike and I live in the Chicago area. I'm a video conferencing engineer and all around IT guy. I'm currently studying for my Part 107 certification. I purchased a Phantom 4 Pro and iPad Pro in hopes of using it as a tool for my YouTube music and...

This tweet is just in... I will represent us well! LOL! :D

Hello, To all you commercial operators out there, I am looking for some clarification on airspace laws. I was under the impression that commercial operators could not legally fly in B, C, and D airspace without a Waiver from the FAA. However, I just noticed that b4ufly.org states commercial...

Hi everyone! I'm wanting to take the Part 107 test and have NO knowledge of flying, weather, airspace, etc........but am confident can learn. What is the best online site to get training and/or study materials? I've read the Remote Pilot – Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide guide from...

Just wondering... how much time did you invest to pass the test to become commercially licensed?

When I first registered my aircraft, I registered it as a hobbyist. Now that I am Part 107 certified, I would like to change that registration to commercial. How does one go about doing that?

Ever wonder why your pilot’s “license” is really a pilot’s “certificate?” Or did you even know (or care)? One of the most common sayings in aviation is that your pilot certificate is a license to learn, and your non-flying friends and family members will always think of that precious bit of...

Hey all! TL;DR Is it illegal to do drone photography in a neighborhood if the neighbors call the cops? So a friend brought up a valid point in regards to droning in residential neighborhoods. Scenario: You are taking pictures of a house in a busy neighborhood with lots of houses around...

Hey all! Question for you guys, I would like to split up into a couple parts.. TL;DR - If I shot something as a hobbyist and after I get my part 107, can I sell the footage from when I was a hobbyist or will FAA make me re-do my flight? I have been on a roadtrip the past 6 months shooting...

Hi Folks, New Phantom 4 owner here and I just this AM caught wind of this site from over on the DJI site. I like what I see over here so far. Right now I'm flying mainly for hobby but I have also just passed the Part 107 exam as I would like to fly commercially at some point as well. Just...
