This video will explain the requirements for operating under 49 USC 44809 for recreational UAS pilots. Remember! If you fail to meet one of these requirements, you are now operating under Part 107!
If you are part 107 certified, you must choose which set of rules to operate under prior to your flight. You are not permitted to change rules halfway through your flight.

Rule #1: Fly your drone strictly for recreational purposes.
This is all about the intent of the flight, with recreation being the key.
Flying to record your kids and share with the family? That’s recreational.
Flying for a monetized RU-vid channel? That isn’t recreational.
Flying as a volunteer for your local Search and Rescue group? This isn’t recreational either.
Rule #2: Follow a Community Based Organization’s guidelines.
First, let’s cover what a community based organization, or CBO, is.
A CBO is a non-profit RC aviation group that sets safety guidelines approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
You can find a list of current CBOs Here: www.faa.gov/uas/recreationalf...
Each CBO has a slightly different set of rules to follow and NO, you don’t need to join or pay these organizations to follow their rules.
We recommend Flite Test Community Association, FPV Freedom Coalition, and Stem+C
Rule #3: Maintain visual line of sight.
Visual line of sight means you can see your drone at all times to ensure you are able to follow the rules of your CBO.
You don’t need to stare at your drone, you do need to be sure you can avoid other aircraft and avoid flying over people.
If you fly FPV, with racing-style drones and goggles, be sure to use a visual observer to perform these duties while you fly.
Rule #7: Take your TRUST Test!
Oh no a test?
Not really, this is FREE training provided by the FAA through approved providers that covers topics you need to know to fly safely.
At the end of the training, you’ll get a TRUST certificate and number.
Your TRUST certificate is valid forever, there’s no minimum age, and the TRUST providers are required by federal law to delete your information after you get your certificate.
The training takes about a half hour, so it’s not a long course.
Head over to trust.pilotinstitute.com/ to get yours done!
If you’d like more info than just what’s in TRUST, head over to pilotinstitute.com/course/rec... and enroll in our free 2 hour Recreational Flying course!
Rule #9: Remote ID
Last up, there are two sets of rules you can use in the US to fly your drone: Part 107 and 49 USC 44809.
44809 is an exemption from part 107, IF you follow all the rules we just discussed.
If you fail to meet even one of these rules, you’ll be instead operating under Part 107, so be sure to follow the rules and fly safe!

After being on the fence regarding buying a DJI mini drone, I have been convinced that it is just too much trouble to partake in this hobby. Unlocking a DJI drone to fly even in low risk situations is just simply too much of a hassle. Good luck to all of you in the future as the U.S. government continues to make this hobby harder and harder to pursue.

This was a very, very informative video….thx! As you have probably seen, for DJI drone fliers, they have just significantly updated their DJI Fly app that allows the operator to find out about local flying rules and any existing flying limitations in the airspace. And it’s integrated right into the controller. For a version 1.0, it’s awesome. Looking forward to how it evolves but it’s already pretty functional.

@SlackerU 3 месяца назад

If you fly enough you'll notice that during migrations the feral birds really do not enjoy drones. I imagine some nesting spots in some of those forests would change the bird behavior. Some environmentally-hazardous areas use drones to scare birds away for safety so you don't want drones everywhere birds nest.

@AKDragonFish3D Месяц назад

This video is an instrumental reminder and a good training tool for younger pilots. I've shared it with my kids a few times already since I got them into drone flying a few weeks ago. Two question thoughs.... you only mention National Parks once during rule 10. I reside in rural Alaska with a few airports and airstrips nearby. It's one of those "if you're out of town and not near population, you're good -ish" kinds of things. The first question is this is the first i've heard of national parks being restricted airspace, as my UAS app doesn't mark this and our Wildlife Troopers have said its good. Is there a reference point you can share for this??? Secondly, on the concept of recreation, I've been asked a few times by Search and Rescue folks who know i have drones and have good xp of the area (because of recreational nature filming) to help find lost people from time to time, even "on the spot" kinds of things, example is i'm out filming me fishing and the S&R friends go "hey can you help us find a lost hiker?" Now the good Samaritan and neighbor in me packs up and takes the time to help them, however the question is does this cross into Part 107, and should I refuse going forward because I do not yet have my 107 license??? Thanks in advance.

@riculous 3 месяца назад

Would you still need to get authorization in a controlled airspace it you're only going to fly a drone 10 to 15 feet high? For example, if you just want to practice or learn how to use the controller and it's settings. There's a nice open park in my area which is in a controlled airspace, and I just want to get familiar with the drone and the settings on the controller. The drone in question would be the dji mavic 3 pro btw.

@SlackerU 3 месяца назад

It is broadcasting RID & you'd need it to be Registered so I would not fly without authorization. The cities already have a drone-reader that can identify violators automatically using RID.

@ab7rs 3 месяца назад

Comply? Easy? I've been flying for over a decade and have never once flown at a club or anywhere else that would now be considered a CBO. I've had no desire to do so and I just won't do that. Thousands of us live in areas that don't have such facilities and some of us wouldn't care to fly at them if we did. This is the United States and I won't be showing my papers or any other BS if I feel like I can fly my tiny little foam airplane safely like I has always done@@PilotInstitute

@ab7rs 3 месяца назад

Comply? Easy? There is no CBO anywhere near where I fly. I've never flown it a club and have no desire to. I can drive 4 miles and miles and never see another car or here or see an airplane. The regulations don't seem like they were made for some of the states with low populations. And I was going to say that I'll just continue to be a renegade but I will do so in a common sense and safe manner. But upon thinking about it further, I'm just going to quit. Right now. I only have one small plane so I think it's a good time to get out of the hobby. It's been fun but the regulations in my opinion are ridiculous. Things have changed a lot, FPV can be done a lot safer yet they still have the line of sight requirement. I'll just find something else to do, it's time to move on in any way. I never stick with the same hobby for too long. I'm sure I can find someone to take my drone off my hands@@PilotInstitute

@PilotInstitute 2 месяца назад

They were but they also never opposed remote ID when they had a seat at the table and now all the FRIAs approved for them are pay-to-play, meaning they do nothing to help the average flyer. The other CBOs are working to make this hobby, including multirotors, more accessible to everyone, including Flite Test working with STEAM programs and schools. This is why we recommend them more than the AMA.

@SlackerU 3 месяца назад

If you fly in that area still then clip the FAA Rep talking about VLOS here on YT. They should be allowing you to use the Drone as it was intended to be used by the manufacture. If you can't look down at the controller then how do you check any flight settings or change settings like the home-point, you need a body-cam to record those bullies I guess. Imagine them being on a plane & having the pilot not check any of the buttons or switches, lol.

This is somewhat confusing as on the FAA's website it says "If you use First Person View or similar technology, you must have a visual observer always keep your drone within unaided sight (for example, no binoculars)." www.faa.gov/newsroom/small-unmanned-aircraft-systems-uas-regulations-part-107 FPV doesn't just mean goggles as a screen on a controller would be considered FPV. But when you read the actual language in the law it doesn't specifically mention FPV, it just has the line about being "be able to see the unmanned aircraft throughout the entire flight in order to:" So the two pieces of information kind of contradict each other. My controller has FPV as it has a screen and I am looking at that most of the flight. So if I am planning on using my screen I always have a Visual Observer. Love to have someone from the FAA discuss this with PI in a video to clear up any misunderstandings.

@allenhilburn8686 3 месяца назад

You specifically stated flying to post video on a "monetized" RU-vid channel is not accessible when flying recreationally. This would seem to imply flying under these rules is permissible, and posting videos on a "non-monitized" RU-vid channel is acceptable. Is this correct?

@PilotInstitute 3 месяца назад

As long as the intent of the flight was recreational, you could post to a non-monetized channel.

@SlackerU 3 месяца назад

Yes but you can't cash in if your video goes viral.

@username7763 2 месяца назад

What if your intent is only for recreation when you decided to fly and later you decide to post to a youtube channel. Does that make the perfectly legal flight suddenly illegal in the past? I'd have to understand why posting videos to youtube is considered dangerous flying I guess. Is posting to rumble considered safe by the FAA?

@username7763 2 месяца назад

@@SlackerU That's a good question though. If the law is about intent, and your intent wasn't to cash in but to have fun. But later you decide to when it goes viral, are you ok?

@@username7763 The FAA rep has already said that if others use your non-107 footage for-profit then they will get fined & not you. Posting your recreational footage that might go viral is not illegal, though if your intent is to get 10k views then you probably should get a 107.

I used to fly model RC and drones starting back in 2011. Got into freestyle drone flying at parks and dropped out of the hobby after the death of a friend. Digging out my old drones and now you are telling me I cannot fly at all unless I fly at a Club field? If I understood correctly you cannot fly at all unless you belong to a club. Also most of this applies only to drones over 249 grams, but you didn't cover that very much as most hobbyist drones are under the limit. What are the specifics about flying under 250 grams.

@PilotInstitute 11 дней назад

That’s not what it says at all. You can fly anywhere. Weight doesn’t matter, you just need to do basic training that takes 30 minutes, stay under 400 feet.

Well I am glad the Chevron deference is being reigned in, and I am not a fan of all the FAA rules, it would seem a difficult case to make that they are exceeding their authority given the federal statue that instructed them to do this. Is there a particular regulation you have in mind that you believe exceeds their authority?

@cosmic7234 2 месяца назад

its glaringly obvious some of these rules are less about being responsible and looking out for others and more about making peoples jobs easier. DJI drones disappear after just 50ft because its a tiny grey plastic rectangle. Monitoring flights in my home county has never showed a flight below 28,000ft yet Im limited to 400ft? Not being able to fly over people or cars instantly makes 1/3rd of what ive seen on instagram illegal. Its sad that how the drone hobby got picked at over the years. I had a mini 2 and was looking to get back into but there is nothing you CAN do with these anymore

@PilotInstitute you sure about that???? The faa says The Operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People final rule is the next incremental step towards further integration of unmanned aircraft (UA) in the National Airspace System. The final rule allows routine operations over people and routine operations at night under certain circumstances. The rule will eliminate the need for typical operations to receive individual part 107 certificate of waivers from the FAA.

@mattalford3932 3 месяца назад

You can't hover over people for extended periods, but you can definitely fly over them. Same with moving cars. It's best to avoid even flying over people if possible.

@mattalford3932 3 месяца назад

Most drones don't have prop guards that completely cover the props, so they can't fly over people anyway. I think the mavic Mini has some covers that do. Recreational pilots should just avoid people altogether. It's just safer that way.

@PilotInstitute 3 месяца назад

Two Very important sentences here: “under certain circumstances” and “part 107”. Recreationally you cannot fly over people, period. Under part 107, you can WITH CERTAIN EQUIPMENT. But most drones don’t meet the requirements.
