As you'll soon be hearing from @Vic Moss and Greg @pilotinstitute have been working to get more "information" released to the public about enforcement actions/fines/sanctions that have been taken against UAS operations. In our FAA Safty Team report we finally had a tid bit we can share. This is...

(Copied from Mavic Pilots forum, OP is Vic Moss) Are you a US 107 Pilot? Or are you getting your 107? The FAA recently released the 381 page BVLOS ARC report. BLVOS ARC stands for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Aviation Rulemaking Committee. This report is full of great info and suggestion for...

Yea MP is a strange group of people. The vast majority are really good but dang those strange birds take the cake. I gotta admit MP kind of "hardened my skin" in terms of forums and changed my whole outlook on lots of things LOL! Hopefully for the better but we'll see . . . Appreciate the...

As many of you may already be seeing, yesterday the FAA Released a VERY long report on UAS BVLOS operation. First off let me break it down for those who have only seen the headlines.... we are NOT ALLOWED TO FLY BVLOS without a Waiver right now. I repeat we are NOT ALLOWED TO FLY BVLOS without...

Let's get this out there in one neat and tidy package for future reference. This is only relevant for Part 107 Operations under the FAA in the United States of America!! This is from April 2021 so the actual dates might have changed a few days here or there but they are very close. At this...

For those FAA Part 107 holders who are updating their registrations or are registering a NEW aircraft you may notice that the FAA DroneZone portal has been updated to incorporate Remote ID information. The update requires a registrant to indicate if their drone is Remote ID equipped or not...

(Copied from Vic Moss) Hot off the presses.... Night ops in controlled airspace temporary procedure is live. Permanent solution to be announced later...

Sorry but you're going down a rabbit hole of nonsense.

so you think we should have NO rules? Granted we all know that rules won't stop those who are determined to do as they wish but rules do a good job keeping the honest/moral people on the right track.

^^^ Nailed it!! Very well said. Ironically, it's Recreational Operators who most often fly outside of the Regulations and often claim "ignorance of the regulations". It's a brilliant idea to expect all UAS operations to have at least a crudely fundamental understanding of the Rules concerning...

Ok hold up just a moment.... there are a TOTAL of (3) people in this thread.... and I'm the one who started this thread and I'm the one who tried to correct your statement about RID. Let's not beat around the bush here. You stated: "One thing I didn't realize before I took this recurrency...

I was just eluding to the soon to be LIVE "The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST)". From the FAA website: TRUST will provide recreational drone flyers with information on best practices and educational resources to ensure safe drone operations. The test was developed with input from the...
