Hey folks, I received my approved authorization today. 98days processing. Thanks for the advice! P.S. LAANC has been great too...

Admittedly, the process is simple. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I'll see something from the FAA in in the next 89 days.

Good info, thank you! I didn't know about FCTs not participating in LAANC (bummer!). I agree with you about an authorization being easier to acquire and probably better for what I need. And given what you said about FCTs and Class D still under the old system, that's the route I'll go. But...

Looking for a bit of advice here... I've been passing up jobs located in controlled airspace (I live around Chicago, sigh...). We do not yet have LAANC active in this area as we are part of "Wave 6" due to roll out in mid-September. With the FAA's glacial pace of approving waivers, I think...

Hey good luck with all that... but do you have a sweet 4k reel of scenic Rwanda you can share?

Overall, I really enjoy cell tower inspection work. I agree that some towers can have a huge amount of requirements and have the potential to blow your schedule when you show up and see 8 sectors of antenna you only expected 1, etc... The pucker factor when flying in any sort of wind can also...

Folks, I'm headed to FL for vacation and want to bring my drone to fly both for fun and some future b-roll to potentially use in my portfolio. I'm looking at the airspace around where I'll be vacationing and I'll be flying in a relatively narrow space between two Class E areas. See pic: Split...

Alright, I'm grounded... will reemerge when not a safety risk. o_O ...gets cozy with PHAK again... Thanks again for your insight.

Understood, nontowered airport in Class E. Thank you again! What a great resource.

What a great refresh. Thank you! As you clearly state, contacting the tower is not required in this case but I'm curious as to what you recommend with regards to contacting Williston Tower and simply notifying them of your tower inspection activities? Not sure if the controllers would find that...

Finished and uploaded my test mission yesterday. The ground shots took more time than the aerial shots. Waiting to hear what comes next... if anything. This program seems legitimate for AllState claims made in areas that are not in restricted airspace. IMHO, one of these jobs that requires a...

^^^ THIS. I'm an in the same place and awaiting their test mission to complete. Has anyone here completed any Eagleview OnSite missions for All-State via DroneBase?

My name is Nick and I live in Evanston, IL just north of Chicago. I received my 107 in April of '17. I still feel brand new and mainly shoot real estate and side projects with friends/family. I run my tiny LLC called Local UAS as a sole proprietor and would really enjoy learning everyone's...
