That is a good video and I am all for safe flying but why is the FAA so concerned about someone making money with a drone. I can fly over my garden and say it needs water but can't fly over the fence and look at my corn and say it needs water because I make money or try to with the corn. I can fly an ultralight over my corn and take pictures or take pictures of the neighbors house and sell them to him but if I did that with a 3.5 pound drone omg the world I coming to an end
As soon as you try to sell the pictures to your neighbor it is considered for hire, better have your class 2, commercial, and make sure your aircraft is properly inspected (100 hour etc). There was a company that started up trying to do ride sharing in small airplanes (If you are already flying to a meeting coworkers could ride along and pay the operating cost divided between all passengers) but the FAA go ton that like white on rice to call it for hire, not sharing. |
