    Question regarding Part 107 requirements

    With fall sports seasons starting up, I plan to fly my drone in the open fields while my daughter is at cheer practice. This made me think of a question. If I were to get footage (with permission from any parents of course) to create a fun montage of the season, would I be required to have a...

    FAA Overreach on Applicability of Part 107 Rules

But the sooner its implemented, the sooner positive effect it will have on the budding industry. If possible, and Executive...
