I have my Part 107 and all the responsibility of lawful flight that goes with it. I have never been quite clear, though, whether or not I can still leave that card at home and fly as a hobbyist like everyone else under the "recommendations" of the FAA.
Most of the FAAs wording is like this. This is from the email with my temporary 107.
"You are required to carry your certificate with you at all times when you are operating as a Remote Pilot"
They always refer to "when operating as". Now here they say Remote Pilot which makes me think it could be anyone, even a hobbyist, but most of the time they say something like "when operating under Part 107.
I really like flying autonomously using Litchi, beyond LOS. Can I still do this legally? As long as I'm not using it on a flight in which I am charging for?
