The FAA Part 107

The Part 107.

Who knows what that is?

Formally it is the Code of Federal Regulations Title 14, Part 107…. I think I got all that in the right order.

More simply it is the thing you have to have to charge money for drone video or photos. To get the certificate, which says that the Feds think you’re sane enough and intelligent enough to fly drones for money, you have to take a test. This means you have to do things like learn how to read sectional charts, learn about weather, drone operations, etc. etc.

Why do I mention all this? I took my test Monday and I PASSED! Yeah baby! I can drive-a-drone!

I’ve been fascinated by drone video footage for a long time. What I really love is slo-mo stuff and someone who often has some excellent video in her YouTube videos is @christianschaffer. It helps that her video is usually some gorgeous location in the South West like Canyonlands National Park. If you’ve not been there you must, it is an astonishingly beautiful and desolate location. Check out her channel as she has a very interesting lifestyle.

What happens now. Well I have applied for my actual certificate. There’s a TSA background check and then you get the actual certificate! Drone footage and pictures appearing here, very soon.

Now who in #Peachtree Corners, #norcross and #dunwoody needs aerial imagery?
