This session, and ALL of our Weekly LIVE Q&A Sessions are avaliable inside our Part 107 Test Prep Course! Here's a link to enroll: www.altitude-university.com/offers/BdPAkwR4/checkout
I was flying in Tampa Florida and trying to get a shot and my Mavic 3 would not fly into certain airspace around the airport. I didn’t get approval this when I very first started flying. Once I got approval I could fly in that area. So at least DJI is really good about not letting fly in Certain airspace. It will literally stop your drone.
A huge thank you! I wanted to help my husband, an architect, take photos of his buildings. I offered to learn to fly a drone to take photos. Had no idea what was involved :) This video has been so helpful!
Hello, thanks for the comment. Was there something specific you felt could have been different? Airspace classifications are one section a lot of our students as our course helped them understand. If you'd like to check it out, here is the link www.altitude-university.com/enroll
class echo does NOT go to the floor unles there is a dashed circle inside the airspace. it transitions from 1200 agl in the enroute airspace to a 700 foot floor around airports with golf below
if you read the comments there's lots of misinformation too. I had to slow down the speed to understand him but once I start catching mistakes the "teacher" makes I don't continue.
I think you overlooked the 30NM MODE C veil. This is a requirement for Manned aircraft to have a Transponder equipped with Mode C to enter this area even though it is not part of the upside down wedding cake. Do drones have to have Remote IDs in this airspace? Reason for the question is as a pilot flying light aircraft I fly into these areas under the wedding cake due to the airfield I am based at. We have had incidents with drones flying in this area with out any ID being squawked and they are hard to see and the speed difference can be immense +200mph trying to spot something the size of a football. Yes I fly drones too, but never above 100 feet and only in open areas.
Mode C isn't specific to drones. All drones being flown commercially must have remote ID and the FAA will begin enforcing that (not sure what that means) on March 16, 2024. I hope that helps!
Wish I could confidently use this as a study guide, but I’m less than halfway through and the ‘teacher’ keeps making mistakes and contradicting himself. Really unfortunate.
Question: aside from some significant refresher I have completed all my requirements except for the written and check ride for my part 61. My understanding is that ppl's can take a very simple safety test on the FAA website to get their part 107. What I'm confused about is the commercial aspect. Commercial means you can be paid legally for what you do, as a Private pilot you have to have a commercial rating for this. Do you automatically get the commercial part 107 drone license when you have a non-commercial plain old private pilot's license?
I think you're probably thinking about the 'very simple safety test' TRUST certificate for recreational flyers. And nope, even if you're a private pilot you still have to sit for the part 107 test.
Thanks for the feedback! We are happy our RU-vid content is free and provides many people with quality information on the industry. Our team members all do their best to present the free information we post. We hope you enjoyed the content.
Hello, sorry to hear you feel this way. This is one of our older videos. We encourage you to take a look at our more recent content. We constantly update our course so it is always current with FAA regulations, and more recent RU-vid content has all the updates. Thanks for checking us out!
If I’m flying legally in a uncontrolled airspace at the proper height etc. and a local police helicopter happens to enter the area, will I be responsible to do anything accept see and avoid. I would definitely return the craft home as soon as I see or hear them. But would I have a responsibility to monitor any airwaves or other media to know they’re in the area?
