UAV Coach provides industry-leading training, education, and news for professionals and hobbyists in the drone industry.
We offer both online and in-person training - over 60,000 people have used our flagship training course, Drone Pilot Ground School, to pass the FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification exam. And our expert flight instructors have delivered hands-on flight training to more than 2,500 students across the U.S.
The commercial drone industry is growing rapidly, and we have trained students who work in public safety, agriculture, education, and various other professions.
Notable clients include Intel, The Wall Street Journal, General Electric, The Nature Conservancy, Lockheed Martin, Keller Williams, and many other corporations and universities, government agencies, public safety departments, and small businesses.
Our mission is to help push the drone industry forward by sharing years of knowledge to help drone pilots be safe and smart operators.
So an American company is ripping off Americans, while strong arming a successful Chinese company. What a joke! The market place decided that US drones are junk.
This is a DJI drone. People are so gullible to think that this is a us-made drone. This is the same thing that was done with Hubsan drones a couple years back.. just like with the Hubsans/Black hawks price shot through the roof
I just went and passed my exam! Now, I want to say the one question I never came across while studying the mounds of knowledge I studied, was....What is the altitude of the floor of V15. V15 was one of those blue lines that runs across the chart and I had no idea how to determine it's altitude, let alone know exactly what it is.
@uavcoach Well I didn't get a clear answer I'm pretty sure many people have the same question if you live in a red zone nearby airport within 5 MI can you still use your drone indoors particularly (DJI mini pro 4)even if you don't have 107 license. Reason why I asked cuz I cannot find an answer anywhere. will the software allow you to do, if not any recommendations of other drones that is easy to operate ,thanks
I have my part 107 certification, and understand that fly over people means, constant back and forth over people, circles around people or stay stationary for a long period of time over a gathering. But flying passing through a beach, a park, a street is ok. Not flying over people does not mean flying over people ever, that sounds ridiculous, if that were the case then use a drones will be impossible. Imagine applying for a waiver every day for the TV and filming industry, where you have actors, extras, producers etc. Tv and film companies would collapse with their heavy and big drones, that will limit flying only in the desert and all videos of drones actually in RU-vid, films and tv were illegal and drone pilots as my self in jail. Let go back to use big, Heavy cameras, rent a helicopter, pay thousands of dollars just for a clip of the beach at sunset. What is, I wonder, more dangerous, a helicopter o small plane over people, filming, and what about a plane landing on a airport flying over the whole city, OVER PEOPLE, or a drone? 3:56
Question. I live by a Miami executive airport class D and the Aloft app shows that I can fly up to 100ft as permissible altitude, however the DJI map shows restricted and cannot take off even with the aloft authorization. What can be done about this?
If The government bans DJI, they should buy all our drones from us, we didn’t pick them up off the streets you know, we bought them with our hard earned money.
Please point out the specific regulation. If you're operating under Category 1, 2, 3 or 4 this is true, but if you have another reference, please list it here.
it's all a ploy to make us pay more, too many people were having fun and too many people were making a living and us companies weren't getting any of that money because their products suck and are over priced. Enter a woman, the killer of all things fun since the garden of eden and we are here. National security my ass. But they say I'm wrong for disliking republicans.
I like your videos but you missed a huge point that you should cover as I think it applies to most of us flying under Part 107 which is the notation on the FAA website after the Categories defining what is considered "flying over people" i.e., hovering vs transiting: "Note: Sustained flight over an open-air assembly includes hovering above the heads of persons gathered in an open-air assembly, flying back and forth over an open-air assembly, or circling above the assembly in such a way that the small unmanned aircraft remains above some part the assembly. ‘Sustained flight’ over an open-air assembly of people in a Category 1, 2, or 4 operation does not include a brief, one-time transiting over a portion of the assembled gathering, where the transit is merely incidental to a point-to-point operation unrelated to the assembly." www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/operations_over_people
No one mentioned anything about 107 and recreational pilots, Pilot Institute ran this a while back, if you have your 107 and waiver is granted, then your good to go, if you fly under recreational you cannot fly over people who are not safely covered and guaranteed you will not be granted a waiver if you are a recreational. If anyone KNOWS different, please, comment.
I’m a retired helicopter flight instructor and I used several of the maneuvers teaching my students how to fly helicopters. Of course we can’t do everything but I do see a lot of similarities.
I have an hard time with DJI...aka getting pissed off. A DJI Mini, with a shorter life battery(made for Japan's market), with prop guards and a collision light can weight under 250 grams. Make this available for the US market. Be the first in the US owning the best optics and a Category 1 Drone.
While people comply with this ridiculousness, the FAA doesn't care if Boeing planes are dropping out of the sky on people. 😂 When are you all going to tell these tyrants to stuff it?
Anzu robotics U.S garbage with a $5,000 price tag . U.S. is good at charging high for shitty products . So they can spy on us. I rather have the Chinese spy on me then our own crooked government!!!!
Please point out the specific regulation. If you're operating under Category 1, 2, 3 or 4 this is true, but if you have another reference, please list it here.
i mean most shots you ever take in a landscape or cityscape or park will have some people in it, so it cant be too strict because then they would be unusable.
Over means over. it doesn't mean in the picture. Unless the camera is pointed straight down, people in the picture cannot be directly under the drone. Even if the camera is pointed straight down, only people in the exact center of the picture are under the drone.

No, you cannot fly over people. Unless you have a waiver. Virtually nobody has a Categorized drone. And virtually nobody can get an operational waiver. It’s easier for the FAA to just say no, unless you’re a large business or famous. Almost certainly can get a waiver? Nope. People are getting turned down like crazy. So can you fly over people? No, not really. People need to stop hoping. It’s not going to happen.
Lots of people have category one drones and I know several people who have already gotten a waiver for larger drones. If you do it right it's not that difficult.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 No. Lots of people THINK they have a category 1 drone. Please show me a drone that is available today that meets the requirements. Prop Guards, RID, AND under 250g. That's the specs for a Cat 1 Drone. Go ahead. Show me a drone that fits all those requirements. I dare you. Show your work.
@@IO_Darren Small cinewhoops configured properly can meet the requirements. The combinations are numerous, I'm not going to search through them all for this RU-vid comment LOL
@@IO_Darren A DJI Mini with a battery that's only available (so far) in Japan, allows the Mini to be a Cat 1 Drone. The lighter battery allows for prop guards and still be under 250 grams.
You can transit over people which is what most of us are worried about. You just cannot have sustained flight such as hover, circling or back-and-forth over people per FAA's website. Even, "Open air assembly" is loosely defined. These videos rarely cover everything and I've only seen one that covers this topic in depth rather than the basics.
Price is ridiculous. Anzu founder already rubs me the wrong way. Overly defensive and not truthful. Good luck with non existent service. What a disaster
