I can understand your concern, but believe me when I tell you, the FAA or ATC would not have approved it if they thought for a microsecond that it was high risk in fact, they would consider it low risk or they wouldn’t do it. In the current atmosphere if something did go wrong, they’d be...

Well, in my experience for their Airport, ATC was indeed the final authority. First of all the airport itself were the ones that defined what the LANNC zones should be. I also know for a fact that when it’s a non-automatic approval it’s ATC that makes the call for the airport. I should’ve...

With an approved LAANC is there anything more that needs to be done? No. Beingtechnically correct what you have is a COA. Does the tower or FAA see our drone when flying? Are they watching it for safety? Maybe but probably not. My local executive Airport has one of those DJI drones scanners but...

It’s not whether I think it’s OK or not. That’s how the free market system works and you’re never ever gonna change it. Supply and demand as long as there’s an ample supply of beginners it’s gonna stay that way. As long as there’s an ample supply of beginners as there is now there’s always...

There is no problem that’s how the free market works. If they can’t find a job for better than $30 an hour then that’s the job they should work. It’s up to the individual to get a skill that’s worth more than $30 an hour not simply demand it. Lol $30 an hour to fly a drone around is hardly...

I don’t understand your thinking. It’s a free market the way free markets work if somebody is willing to do work for a certain price then that becomes the price. By my standards you’re under priced I don’t leave the door for under $100 an hour. But I’m not criticizing you if there’s a job and...

Since I wouldn’t use them for free, why would I pay?

It’s because the truth doesn’t matter anymore

A remote pilot certificate never expires. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep taking the periodic test to keep it up-to-date.

Just because it was manufactured in China does not mean it’s controlled if you’re putting all the firmware on it then you’re in control

So true I’ll be sticking with Chinese drones for as long as I can better bang for your buck DJI So true I’ll be sticking with Chinese drones for as long as I can better bang for your buck DJI The only reason they’re trying to outlaw them with the fake security risk is cause American companies...

Thanks for sharing. Not sure why you would say myth or fools errand when it’s obviously proven science. It’s just a matter of time before somebody comes out with the version for drones. Hopefully somebody out there can try printing them. The sound is a real problem, and if it cuts that I’d buy...

I confirm what he said. I’ve had to get a lot of zero altitude autos and if you keep it under 100 feet you got a good chance of getting it.. If it’s real close to a runway, you may not get more than 50 that’s happened to me in which case the employer told me to do it manually my phone to which I...

I don’t get them from the site. They call me when they have a job. so hopefully you’ve registered on their site.

I didn't mean you per-se. It's already too late - tons of nubes out there willing to do these missions. Me, I made my vig I am done, and the worst part is now I don't even fly for fun any more, because now it feeling like a chore. I make too much in my day job to start a business, so that's it.
