Yeah, I didn't know his was possible (just starting out.) Great tip. Thanks

Ah, that's smart to file before you have the gig. Didn't know that was possible. I thought the the airspace authorization was for only a one-time use. Didn't know it was a blanket authorization. Interesting.

Thanks for the info. So, how are people conducting business with a 90 wait on authorizations? For example, if you want to shoot a house for real estate are people even trying to get authorization or just conducting biz on the DL and hoping that nothing happens?? Also, how do you think the...

Thanks for the info on LAANC. It looks like it's moving along. Until that is up and running, let's say you wanted to shoot a house for real estate, would you go about getting permission to fly by submitting a waiver? And does it really take 90 days to get approval? Again, pardon the newbie...

Pardon what may be a newbie question but I heard some talk a while back about the FAA's waiver system getting streamlined and authorizing waivers in 24-48 hours. Does anyone know if that's happened yet? And if not, if it ever will happen? Thanks

This sounds great. I wonder if Multivista was a construction company that learned drones and photography or a video biz that learned construction.

My day job is in TV and I was actually looking at non-TV drone applications because I'd like to be able to replicate my services so it's not just me out there. But from what I've seen, it looks like some of the best aerial money is in TV/film side. Now I'm conflicted. ;)

Hello, I just passed my 107 today with the help of Drone Pilot Ground School (recommend the course.) I've worked in video my whole adult life, the past five years as a TV editor so I'm hoping transitioning to aerial video work won't be too tough. As someone who likes to learn and listen, I'm...

Hello, I was curious how many on here had a thriving drone business that was their main (only) source of income. I'm sure there are a lot of people who do it on the side, but I was wondering if a drone business was anyone's bread and butter. And if so, what area do you specialize in? Feel free...
