We can fight back.
For free, anyone can get a SFOC Special Flight Operation Certificate.
With that, you can
-fly within 100' of everything that is 250 feet recreational,
-fly at night with additional lighting,
-actually fly from your own yard IF you have blanket permission from any neighbor within 100' OF THE CIRCLE YOU ARE STANDING and your drone's location, for commercial, training or testing purposes
-charge for time in the air for video and picture inspections of roofs, for Realtors, gutter inspections, etc
-make a very good living at several hundred dollars per hour PLUS post processing and picture/video delivery.
-fly at/near airports if requested as long as you follow the rules
For now.
Things may change in time, but we have options. If anyone wants information on this, please PM me. I have a friend in Edmonton that does flight school and certification, well worth the price of admission.
I am going to be advertising my services shortly, soon as the weather smartens up and the sun remembers where we are. I have been asked several times to do farm houses and fields, but turned them away because I did not yet have my SFOC.
Now I can make thousands of dollars enjoying my hobby, and YOU CAN TOO!
