You make the the assumption that drone pilot does not have contact with the authorities, out here there are several professional drone pilots and we do communicate with those in charge. We are not doung this for our own enjoyment it is sold to local tv station. Just saying.

Are you saying drone pilot has no professional standard? Do you have to work at a TV station to be a professional? Why cant a part 107 pilot do the same as news team? I don't believe a drone is interfering with their investigation if he is above or a flying around a scene. I understand...

Lets all file a request to fly whether we do or not let's bombard them with requests and see how that works for them. Lol

Doesn't the FAA already cover this type of situation and how can they regulate the air space as they are not the FAA although I do understand they could regulate your takeoff and Landing points. Seems to me it's just a way to get attention that they are trying to fix a problem that does not exist.

I am one of those retirees who likes to make a little money on the side, I have been doing real estate pics for a company that has been reducing payouts to an average of $75 per job. For the time it takes and they want no editing, maybe not a bad deal. I just WON'Tdo a job that pays less than $100

Thank you!
