Yes... that was my understanding as well. I was tasked with figuring out what set ups would be a best fit. Researching everything I found the webinar and now have to convince the powers that be due to the broad brush that has been used.

Was on a zoom webinar covering drones and fit for public teams. One of the presenters made the comment that a drone equipped with a thermal camera was basically non effective in search and rescue during the months of May-Sept due to heat signatures matching the ground nearby due to similar temps...

Check this out.... give them a call and they will hook you up to fit your needs. We use this set up with live deck. I've seen it operate flawlessly with dji products many times as well...

So do the delays in the implementation of these rules extend the sunset of the daylight waiver beyond the date they set in May originally. I think I would tend to believe that if it is like how they rolled this out and there was a certain number of days to have the new rules in effect, I would...

I understand the reasons to use a mavic platform drone inside but feel the negatives outweighs the positives, with all due respect. But we train on sparks and soon to be minis for several reasons for indoor ops. If we put a spark down in tight quarters we were out a few hundred vs. a several...

But....up to you but if your are up to date and confident in your 107 test knowledge, to me you are better off taking it now imo. Think that you learned everything you need to pass but now have to add on night etc to sit for the 107 if you wait. Taking it now means you are tested on what you...

Was going to say the same thing!!! Glad you got it all good!!

In all honesty..... no. Since in a time of emergency, I don't want to have to waste time and beg to unlock airspace to conduct a mission. I lived and loved DJI for my side work but for SAR we went Autel Evo 2 Dual and haven't looked back.... haven't had an issue with them and support is pretty...

Thanks so much for your knowledge and input on this topic... you've been a great help!

Any word of the new rules have been officially published yet???

Can someone comment on this video.... this was the point of discussing this in this thread.....I feel like so much info is going out that really isn't accurate or clear at this moment. I've read all along 45-60 days and recurrent is going away but then I see this, contrary to what I read and...

That's really cool!!! Congrats

I did in person with our local regional college. I couldn't have been more pleased with it. Basically it went like this......3 days of drone introduction, maintenance, controller intro and flights. Then 2 days of part 107 training from an actual airline pilot. As part of the class we were also...

Can you say hi jacked thread????

Correct..... that's what I read as well and was hoping to confirm what I read... so my thought on it is.... I'm expiring shortly but in my slow season for jobs and instructional assignments due to adverse weather. Being a side hustle for me, my thought is save the recurrent fee, wait for the...
