Getting some real Elite:Dangerous vibes over here!

"I sawed this PLANE in half!" Put down the saw Phil!!

I'm gonna go ahead and chalk the ones encountered up high as "no evasive action taken" instead of required since aircraft traveling at 500mph probably don't have the time to see or avoid a drone. If any of you with experience flying faster aircraft in the flight levels has input on that, I'm...

So theoretically what happens if he runs into someone with the drone walking past your house, is he off the hook because he's 5 years old? Or is that a thing that an adult like yourself would be responsible for because you're supervising him? Genuine question.

Have you seen these reports? https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/public_records/uas_sightings_report/ A random excerpt from the most recent one:

Sounds like it's story time :popcorn:

Ah, yours is the Part 107 Commercial Certificate from the FAAST course through the Part 61 method (versus doing it in person with a proctored exam without a Part 61 Certificate). The TRUST certificate PDF I shared is for recreational pilots. Here's what the FAA has to say about data: "Neither...

Pick the language you want, but an RC airplane is an unmanned aircraft and these certificates (Part 107 and 44089) regulate unmanned aircraft. There was no transition period of definition, just new rules to regulate them.

The FAA states that the only thing being kept is the Authentication Token (certificate number) that can be referred to by Law Enforcement and the FAA itself to verify that its a valid certificate without name or other data. The ERAU site I did it through said the data was deleted after the...

The information from the course is something that should be included in the box with each drone sold in the US along with the basic instructions for flying a drone. That the FAA was able to put together something easily understandable, penalty free, and free to take for anyone in the US is a...

So the .55lb/250g weight and up relates to aircraft registration, not for pilot certification. Any drone that weighs more than .55lb/250g must be registered with the FAA, but all pilots that operate in the National Airspace System must now either have a 44809 Recreational Certificate or a Part...

Actually, this is the most accessible training the FAA has ever put out (in my opinion). The regular drone flying public on the whole doesn't understand the National Airspace System, where they can and can't fly, and why. This training is designed to inform average drone pilots of the...

It's an incredibly easy course to take and lets you pay the FAA less money per year under certain circumstances. If it doesn't apply to you or help you specifically, you don't have to take it! ;) So the Part 107 Exam is the one you schedule with PSI/go to the CATS testing center/pay $160/take...

:eek: No, I mean there's no penalty for failing - you must get 100% to get the certificate but all you have to do is re-take the section quiz and score 100% to move on if you miss one. If you have a Part 107 you can choose to operate under the Part 107 ruleset when flying on your own, but you...

The FAA just released the TRUST a few hours ago (The Recreational UAS Safety Test). If you fly any drone recreationally, you should take this test and get this certificate - even if you have a Part 107. The test: Is 100% free Takes 30 minutes Cannot be failed Does not expire or require a...

How about the new flying-over-people rules with sUAS and the new undefined "open air assembly" :popcorn:

Here's an example mission that came through my inbox yesterday. Not doing it but I still get pings from time to time. Not super great pay, but if you can find a place that gives these to you all the time you can make some decent money as they probably dont take too long to complete. A lot of...

Sorry, was out of town this week! Didn't see the thread get bumped. I had a PPL certificate years before I went to get my 107. I just went and got current again before I went to the FSDO (current flight review required to get your Part 107 through Part 61). Once I went in with the paperwork...

When I got my Part 107 for the first time (through the Part 61 route) I just did the online test portion on FAAST's website and went to a FSDO and did it in one go. I walked out with a Temporary Part 107 certificate. Not sure how yours will work there. You could also technically just pay $160...

Riding in one for the first time on Monday! :eek:
