I have done both ground water locating and facade & roof inspection with thermal. If you're to spot groundwater, cooler times of day—like early morning or late evening—are your best bet. After a chilly night, moist areas in the ground tend to hold onto heat longer than dry spots, so they’ll show...

Honestly, I have read very little and did some research on the likely restrictions for corporate vs smaller DSP application and it does read very restrictive, but it is really early on and your proposal is exactly what we as the smaller operations need to be participating in. I work for a very...

What is your point of view on this? Personally, as a tenured Part 107 Pilot and knowing the state of mind of a lot of Pilots out there I think it is good that they will start strict on this. Flying little Air and Mavic drones way BVLOS is not a great idea unless the Pilot has a stringent...

Tethered drones can also be used for live feed on construction sites, communications relay and security.

It depends on the client. Some want the raw unedited photos to cloud storage, some want them uploaded to a cloud processing platform like DroneDeploy and some order the whole package and need maps, contours and maybe some volumetrics. These are all PDF's and TIFF's. Very rarely but some do want...

Good morning from Texas Igor. What kind of droning do you do?

Pilot Contracting Network. Like Zeitview and FlyGuys. There are probably about five right now that you can get work pretty much anywhere and then a bunch of others that focus on just their region.

An actual DSP or Pilot Contracting Network? There's a big difference. In my experience just do your own thing and supplement by joining every PCN you can. To get hired by an actual, established DSP will require a lot of experience and/or specialization and certifications. They are also usually...

No mind. FAA trumps ATC every day so you did the right thing. That sounds like a grumpy Controller.

Any time I have fly inside the bounds of an airport I notify ATC of take-off and landing. Many times the authorization will actually request this. I'm surprised yours doesn't.

Hi Thomas! Welcome from Texas. I look forward to learning what you have going on!

It's well known that drone presence is going to increase across anything that can be considered interesting and entertaining. The actions you mention need to be investigated immediately. If they do not have Part 107 certifications and are not using Class 1 drones that fully comply with OOP then...

This is some great information! Thanks @jaja6009

I was on-call for the disaster relief effort and inquired about the lack of airspace restrictions with Emergency Sevices. They said that the situation was covered by other agencies and I could be assured it was being handled properly. Nothing was communicated beyond that to my knowledge. I have...

This would be my question as well. First off, how was the LiDAR generated. Manned aircraft, drone? I understand a problem with not having checkpoints from the LiDAR mission but there should be some common features that you can create checkpoints from to use in you photogrammetry process to...
