My Sincere THANKS to Greg from Pilot Institute for agreeing to join us on the channel, great information for sure! 🙏 Make sure you take a look at all the resources that they offer as well, a wealth of FREE information too! bit.ly/3rwJrxV
Thank you for having me on the show, it was a great discussion and I hope that we can help educate the community together.
Thank you so much for the quick response.
Greg from Pilot Institute seems to be a tool. Nice guy, maybe. But still a tool. Not too sure.
@@raytbrown2 A really good guy in person, super knowledgeable, thinks he's funny, sometimes he is. You could learn something from him for sure. Think Big Bang Theory.
OK. Will be open to it. TY!@@AlienDrones (But I saw him as a tool in other videos on his own website, just saying). But I'll try.
So what I've learned from this is all i have to do is twist my wording a certain way and basically I'm good. Sweet.
First off I am a horrible test taker. Second, I took Greg’s class and passed Section 107 on my first try and it’s changed my business forever! I have been able to get more clients off of my you tube videos because not a lot of Realtors here in Las Vegas are doing what I’m doing with my drones. Third, I’ve learned a lot about piloting my drone as well as the laws regulating it. I strongly suggest learning about Section 107 and earning the certificate! It’s worth the time and energy! You will learn a lot! The benefits are huge!
Congrats, Thanks for sharing!
I’m in Vegas so would love to see your work one day. Can’t wait to take this course.
FK this guy FK the FAA and FK these unlawlawful alphabet agencies that are prying into our lives. The world is in the precipice of WW3, the LAST thing I'm worried about is part 107 🙄. You people are GUTLESS SHEEP !
I'm a Realtor too, just got my 107 as well, for my CZcams content. Can't believe I put it off for so long. I am a pretty good test taker, so I passed with just a day and a half of watching free prep vids in Youthbe. Would've done it years ago if I'd known it would be that easy
good to know … actually thinking of taking his course also where it is guaranteed
Just passed my part 107 today and studied through Pilot Institute. Highly recommend if you need guided instruction. As Greg said you learn more than just the test, you gain knowledge that will insure you fly safely and within all the regulations. This was a great video. I learned even more advantages to having my part 107 that I was unaware of.
Thanks for sharing! Greg is one of the best when it comes to imparting knowledge of the industry for sure...
It has been genuinely helpful to be able to tell people that I am a pilot as authorized by the FAA. That shuts down a lot of busybody complaints.
Absolutely agree, really helps!
Pilot of a toy?
@@itsallminor6133 no, I don’t fly a Cessna
If the FAA was primarily concerned with SAFETY, there would not be a distinction between recreation and profit, period.
Either drone can fall from the sky. Either pilot can do something stupid (we're human). There is zero difference between the two.
The FAA (the government) sees an opportunity to make money. That's where the FAA has a primary concern.
It seems like they're not interested in making money as much as they are interested in making it impossible for recreational drone use so they don't have to spend their budget enforcing the laws.
Hi! Greg is a great instructor! I took pilot institute course so we can avoid FAA issues with our channel! I passed first try 98% and now I feel a little more confident flying my drone. I highly recommend it! Thank you for this video!
That is awesome!
Agreed, I also did Greg's course. It's well organized, logical, and he makes it as fun as possible. It's not just about passing the exam; it's about knowledge and education. Highly recommended
I will vouch for Greg as well. I too got 98 on first try.
Passed with a 92% on my first try with Pilot Institute. Examiner recommends flying lessons ( manned aircraft)
Its an Awesome course. 88% on the Exam. Felt ready and prepared. Thanks Greg!
Regardless whether you are recreational or 107 it's beneficial to the pilot to know the rules you are suppose to follow. Maybe someday I'll take the test but presently the only benefit I believe would twilight and night flying in areas that require LANNC approval. I have no intention turning my hobbies into a career. I do, however, try to keep my knowledge of the laws current so I don't leave any concrete evidence of the rules I do routinely break. Fly safe!
Same here Mickey BTW I checked out your channel and watched a few videos. Nice content and piloting. I only go out a few times a year with my older Evo1.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Good Flying!
@Alien Drones I was for drone broadcasting until I started reading municipality extreme extraordinary drone laws. I felt that broadcasting for the FAA to allow you to fly beyond sight without a waiver would be great.
However; allowing access to broadcasting by police and municipality purposes will only be used to charge fines. Broadcasting for municipalities will only lead to penalty fees for the coiffures.
I am all for making sure that drone flying is done responsibly and broadcasting for the FAA to allow you to fly beyond visual without a waiver would be great. I saw a representative of the FAA say this before. However, municipalities only look to regulate for fee's, and that is why they want to be allowed to receive and monitor broadcasting frequencies for drones.
Every municipality, city, and state seems to have its own drone laws.
I wish for the days before all this crap again
There's plenty of situations that can and do come up when you're flying that aren't related to a "career" but are outside of the FAA's very narrow definition of "recreational". What you get issued from the FAA is a "Remote Pilot Certificate". Nothing about "commercial" in the name.
Instead of thinking of part 107 as being a "commercial drone pilot", think of it as being a "licensed drone pilot" because that's what it is.
Example: Years ago I was flying for fun over my dad's property to get footage of a huge tree he's got. I always wanted to get a look at the top of the tree so I di now that I had a drone.
After that short fight he asked me to check out the neighbor's (an elderly widow) roof to check the condition. Of course I did it, only took a couple minutes and helped out a neighbor. There was zero intent to get paid so it wasn't "commercial" or part of a "career" but it would be "illegal" today as the "intent" of the flight doesn't meet the FAA"s criteria for "recreational" flight.
I love to see, you had Greg .. from Pilot Institute to visit / appear in your video, which is so great, love his & your knowledge and efforts to keep us abreast of the requirements, and updated information... Thank you both for what you contribute to the drone user population, keep it coming. Safe flying, stay safe, warm, & well... Happy and Healthy New Year's to you both & you all...! Peace, Love & God Bless !!!
Thanks for the comments, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you and Yours! 🤙🤙
VERY cool to see you guys hook up for this video! Graduate of Pilot Institute and long time follower of Alien Drones. Thank you both for doing what you do for the industry!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man I just found out your channel and have had wonderfull amount of knowledge already. Thanks for putting this video out there! It has really helped me out on my journey :)
Thanks for watching and the kind words! 🙏 Good Flying!
Great interview. Greg is a wonderful instructor.
Folks like you are a huge benefit to the RC drone hobby/community, explaining and giving updates on new rules ect. thank you. My dad was a WW2 Airforce Veteran and started my interest in the model avaiation hobby, but with all the new regulations and legal pitfalls i have decided to persue other interests/hobbies.
Thanks for the kind words! Indeed, try to relay what's going on in the industry, popular or not... We can make decisions if the complying with any expectations makes the hobby up our ally or not. 🤙🤙
Thanks for the honest look and questions about the difference of the license, Really good video and Information
Thank you and thanks for sharing! 🤙
Keith...always great content. Greg is an awesome instructor who cares about his students. My daughter and I both took his Part 107 Course and passed the exam in the high 90's. During the training I had a couple questions and comments that I posted to Pilot Institute and Greg personally got back to me immediately. Taking the Part 107 and flying drones is a great way to bond with your children. It's also a lot healthier hobby than a lot of other things kids get into these days....and they get an education and skill with their hobby! Great channel, great content. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it, I couldn't have said it better! Greg is fantastic and a good educator for sure. I did vet others before deciding to work with PI as I have to be willing to put my name along side theirs, and there are plenty that didn't make the cut. Appreciate you letting me know your experience! Good Flying! 🤙🤙
What we need to do is reach out to HAM radio operators and those clubs and infrastructure. The drone development path has a shared trajectory and history.
Quickish example my radio club is ready and practices monthly to provide communications in the event of a natural disaster. In Our neck of the woods those disasters include tornadoes and floods. It's a tradition that reaches back to CIvil Defense.
Just to keep sharp, use our toys and have fun we provide comms for bike rides, parades and search and rescue.
Great video. I didn’t know any of this, just starting to think about a drone. This was fantastic.
Glad it was useful! Thanks for sharing! 🤙
Two of the most knowledgeable and credible drone experts on CZcams! Great!
Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Great video you just gained a new subscriber. I'll be singing up for my 107 classes very soon.
Welcome aboard!
Great information! Being a recreational flyer, both RC aircraft and drones, I can see that the benefits of having a part 107 license. Will definitely be using the Alien Drones discount to take the class offered by Pilot Institute. Knowing all the rules will help me to stay within the FAA requirements. Thanks for providing this very informative video.
Thanks! Glad it is helpful! 🤙
Thanks for having Greg on today, I trust his commentary and I’m enrolled in his online course for my 107.
You're welcome! This is a good way to go for sure! 🤙🤙
This is a great video. Thank you! I am signed up already to take the Part 107 with Greg. I signed up during their Black Friday promotion. Appreciate both you guys and looking forward to subscribing to Alien Drones and learning from your experience.
You're welcome, glad it is useful! Good luck and good flying! 🤙
Hi William, my name is Dave, I took Gregs course and let me tell you it is worth it. I just took my test today and passed it with a score of 100% "why" because you get the knowledge you need to pass the test from this course plus so much more.
This came out 11 months ago but this is the most informative video about the rules of drone flying I ever saw to date.
👍 Thank you 👍
Glad it was useful!
@@AlienDrones and ohhhh yeah those t-shirts you're selling are awesome as well I just ordered one 👍
Im just now joining the vast drone world and seeing this gave me into to get started. Im about to take the TRUST test! Thanks for the info.
Glad to help! 🤙
Great job Greg. I’ve been flying 107 for the past 7 years commercially. I’m always learning from you.
Thanks, glad I provide some useful info! 🤙
Love you guys, I laugh so much listening to you. It is so refreshing to hear honesty at it's finest, God Bless you both
Thanks for sharing! 🤙
At 5:00. I'm glad this was covered early in the video. I see so many channels claiming you can't later monetize a video if you happen to catch something amazing while flying for fun. It's all about the original intent of the flight. They also say you can't post your recreational flights on social media, absolutely false, unless they are monetized! Great video. I hope more channels will clarify this misconception.
Thanks for the comments! There's a lot of wonky information out there for sure... Wait, it can't be on the internet if it's not true, can it? 🤔 lol. Good Flying!
Thank you for this great video! I appreciate it very much
Thanks for sharing!
I got my 107 2 weeks ago - and my main motivator was as mentioned, "posting to social media". I'd seen the exact Chris and Sara" video mentioned (where they had been contacted by the FAA and told to get their 107 because the advertising revenue on their CZcams video was enough to make them fall under Part 107 rules). That was enough to get me to learn and take the exam.
It's a great motivator for sure, now you don't have to worry about it! 🤙
I bought a DJI Mini 1 about 18 months ago and as I researched how and where to fly, I learned that I could get in big trouble! I found Pilot Institute, took their course and passed my 107 test. As a Utube creator, I run into other creators who fly drones, try to educate them and suggest they take a course. Thanks guys!
Our pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Good Flying!
Currently looking into Part 107, studying through online course work, but still had some inquisitive questions (that seem like they are received often since they were asked here). Many were answered in this segment! Thank you so much for the information and answering all these questions, very helpful.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know, glad it is helpful! 🤙🤙
Well done, very clear and informative interview!
Much appreciated!
Keith, agree with you on knowing the rules! No running from gramps
Where the audio for the PPL course..
Pilot Institute is very good!!
I really need my part 107. Been putting it off for a while, and now I think it's time. Thanks for the inspiring video.
Appreciate the kind words! Cool thing about the 107 now is that once you pass it never really expires, and you can become current again, for free, by taking a test you can't fail... Good Luck! 🤙
Why Not!! It’s so interesting too ❤
Just enrolled to the course. I’m planning on shooting drone videos for my channel and sure didn’t know about needing a license for this. Thanks 🙏
That's awesome it helped you out! 🤙😎
Great interview. I am going to take advantage of the Alien Drones discount for the Part 107 class through Pilot Institute. I wonder if reviewing my old Jeppesen books would help.
Thanks!
My opinion is that I have been flying model aircraft for years before the 107 was put in place. I don’t like it and think it’s government overreach.
Same. I fly heli, planes, drones and double middles to the gov.
I'm watching fro. Manchester UK and this is is a very helpful video. Thank tou. 👍🏼
Glad it is helpful!
Just started learning about drones great information from both of you. As a long time commercial pilot a thought came to me on the topic of flying both recreational and 107, don’t forget to check the correct box on your LAANC request before the flight after takeoff too late!😂
Thank you for all the great info Keith. After researching vids from your channel, and also Greg at pilotinstitute, I just bought my first drone two days ago. I've been wanting a drone for quite a while. My choice was a DJI Mini 3 Pro along with the Fly More Pack with extended life batteries. I've already done the TRUST and passed missing no questions. When I get my heavier batteries on Wednesday, I will register my drone for the extra weight batteries putting my drone over the 250g limit. My intentions for now is to fly recreational for fun and cool arial footage for my non-monitized CZcams channel. I will definitely progress into the Part 107 in the near future and I will use the savings link and pilotinstitute to get there. Greg has already answered questions for me yesterday, about the upcoming Sept 2023 changes. I've already also started logging all drone info starting from the purchase.
Thanks! Greg is a knowledgeable guy and very helpful. I did a lot of research before I started to work with Pilot Institute as I don't take these types of recommendations lightly. I did decide against a couple of other businesses so I'm glad to hear you have had good experiences so far. Good luck and Good Flying! 🤙
Great video, thanks for doing it. Nice to see Greg, love his course and proud to be one of the people on his Wall of Fame.
⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! Thanks for watching!
That is awesome 😎 congratulations 🎉. Happy flying and filming
GREAT info!
This helped a lot and after watching I will be getting my Part 107. Thanks!
That's a good choice! PI does a good job, I'm sure you'll learn a lot! Good Luck! 🤙🤙
Thank you, excellent video!
You are welcome!
WOW Keith, now that's an awesome discount?$100 dollars of a discount is something I would even jump on. Greg is definitely one of the best guys, and has one of the greatest channels on CZcams.
I don't just subscribe to anyone or everyone, but I do have both of you guys. I appreciate your content and I know for a fact that it's useful. Thanks again for all your videos, they're awesome. Till the next one. 👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comment! Greg has a wealth of knowledge for sure! Good Flying!
Really great information. Thank you both!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AlienDrones It was. And I just ordered the course. Thanks for the link and thanks Greg and Pilot Institute for the discount.
My pleasure, good luck!
Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it
Any time
He is a awesome teacher!!!Thanks to him I passed my FAA 107✌🏼👊🏻🥰😍
Congrats, Good to hear! 👍👍
Perfect outline, informative about an honest service to promote but disclose other test study paths to take. Thanx
Glad it was helpful!
Flew as a Flight Engineer in the USN. I took Greg’s course and it is actually very good. Was certified on the first run. Great video.
🤙🤙
Thank you gentlemen for your insightful commentary. I am a novice pilot just entering the drone world. I have completed TRUST and registered my drone. I am looking forward to acquiring my Part 107. Regards
Thanks! The 107 offers a lot of good info for sure... Good Flying! 🤙
Great info, Keith.
👍
Great video gents. Thanks!
Thank you. Very educational.
Glad it was helpful!
Both of you made the case for Part 107 Certification exceptionally well. I’m looking forward to joining the ranks. Currently studying for the exam. I’m not necessarily wanting to go into business specifically, but I want to be a “professional” and do things the right way and most importantly, I want to pilot safely.
Thanks for the kind words and wanting to do things right!! 🤙🤙
Very good - Thank You
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Kindred spirits found. +1 sub & +1 for signing up for the course. Awesome video (And excellent editing! wow!)
Thank you for the kind words and the sub! Most can't appreciate the editing process for sure so I appreciate the call out!
Good evening great video really cool information
Thanks 👍
That was a great informational video Keith. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people. The only negative I can think about getting part 107 is saying you can't plead ignorance hahaha. But there is a lot to be said for doing things right and having enhanced permission that one gets from getting licensed.
Thanks for watching! I know, right? The Po Po always let you off if you say "I didn't know"... "Oh, sorry sir, if you didn't know about that law, my bad. Be on your way!" lol. Good Flying!
@@AlienDrones actually if you act like you know what you're doing, probably the Popo won't know.
It's when you have to answer to the FAA. An ignorance position might work the first time at least maybe maybe maybe. Obviously it depends on the nature of the offense, I expect absolute stupid flying would not cut it.
Cheers my friend.
Very very straight forward, excellent questions asked and amazing answers delivered. Liked, subbed, and downloaded.
🙏 Thanks!
This a great video for all drone flyers to watch. Thanks for the information. Now I have to get my part 107 just to be ready for anything in my future. 🤑
Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with the 107, it's nice to have and now it's free and easy to keep current every couple of years so it can be good forever! 😎
Thank you guys for all the great information my goal is to work for like discovery or a major Network when I take my 107 I already got my certificate for class about to take in about 2 months I have your class also and I took a physical class as well any pointers we totally awesome thank you so much you guys
Thank you for the kind words and Good Luck to you! A great goal for sure, go for it! 🤙
Highly recommend Pilot Institute
Well done, good stuff...
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic video
Thanks! 👽🛸
Greg is awesome, I took his class and passed thebtest in very first attempt.
Thanks for sharing!
Great to see my 2 favorite drone experts together! Thanks Keith and Greg.
Greg is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable too!
greg is the best thank you alien drones
Great channel
Thanks!
My first drone was ordered just a day ago. The BVLOS issue is a critical one to me, as our homestead is almost entirely woodland. On most of our site I probably can't maintain a visual line of sight for much more than 50 feet or so :) Certainly I can't do an overflight of our property while maintaining VLOS even though the drone would be at maximum distance perhaps a quarter mile away. We're on 20 acres, 660 ft x 1320 ft. I would hope I could qualify for the BVLOS waiver/exception in this circumstance
Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that you will be able to get a waiver for BVLOS. It is the most difficult FAA waiver to get. BVLOS waivers are granted to only those who meet a criteria involving the safety standards and track record of the pilots conducting the mission (usually a pretty big commercial outfit with a fleet of drones). Additional safety precautions are likely required as well, such as an onboard detect and avoid (DAA) system to automatically avoid air traffic or large birds while in flight and setting up a mission control station on site to monitor the drone during flight. It would be awesome if you could get one and I would think Pilot Institute could help with the process, and I'd love to hear the results if you do apply... 🤙🤙
I am going to do that.
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
I am still on the fence about purchasing a camera drone, I want to make travel videos, but many of the places I want to fly to get footage are in National Parks and there is a firm no drones allowed in NP with some steep consequences. Personally I can understand not flying over Old Faithful and annoying people, but there are other places without any people at all that should be allowed. Or maybe the parks service should allow drones only for a one hour period on select weekdays and during the off season i.e. winter, there should not be a blanket prohibition on flying drones.
Thank you.
Of course!
Greg is the greatest! AND he's funny in his courses... I have one question I bought the courses in 2021 or and I'm wanting to know whether or not they've been updated since because I'm about to go back and finish studying to go take the test I had to put my stuff on pause for a year
🤙
After finally getting the 107 card in the mail, I xeroxed a one page set of drone rules as a handout for the curious. When confronted (fairly rare) I show them my license (for a few seconds only), then hand them a copy of the rules, and a phone number for the FAA. If it isn’t enough I relocate and re-launch. The FAA needs to establish a new department for public education for SUAS flight in the USA. It would be expensive, but they need to do it, sooner than later. If such a thing exists, it isn’t currently visible. Let’s face it, the non-flying public still has no idea of the law surrounding drone flight.
Thanks!
Thank you Very Much, just made my day! 🙏🙏
100 off I might take this discount thanks 🙏
I love the opening drone intro lol
🤙
Ok totally new to the world of drone flying. If i am understanding everything right I should take the trust test for recreational use to become a efficient drone pilot. When i am ready to create a CZcams channel i must take and pass the 107 first
No worries, it's a fun hobby! Indeed, 107 is needed for anything that is not recreational. Any questions along the way feel free to ask! 🤙
Keith. There seems to be a lot of talk on the FAA drone zone about conferences and meetings about new VLOS. Any new and updated rules you can do a video on? It’s been quite some time since the last “rule” update video.
Indeed, seems to be a lot of chatter on BVLOS if you're law enforcement or a delivery service and some talk about "inspections and agricultural" applications, but I'll keep my ears open. The initial Remote ID deadline is coming up so I expect this will start that conversation up again, especially with the lawsuit against the FAA for RID recently being dismissed...
How can we fire people putting a hamper on an industry that has caused no deaths. Despite being around for years.
Derek e count, I want to know. Where do you get the 107 permit or benefits or what? The FAC want you to have. I basically do it for recreational recording myself. Doing a remote control RC on 110 scale. Or my C do or my quad S LTL TZ 400 Suzuki.
Very interesting @5:00 , a bit hard to decipher the exact specifics of the sequence of events mentioned, but at the point where you decide to record your kid playing in the game - how does that then not require part107? The intent is to record the game, not to have fun.
Essentially, how does this differ from the classic example of needing a part107 license to be able to take a look at your gutters? Is it just the intent at time of takeoff that matters, i.e. I can go check my gutters on a whim while returning from a flight for fun?
Thank you very much! Your first part of info was enough to make it helpfull. " flying for the church"! Take care
Thanks, glad it was useful!
Want to make money and give 107 the middle finger? Its easy. Fly recreational with the sole purpose of giving all media to your private company for free. Now the company can charge money for that media if it was to be made an offer.
As a non 107 pilot, I've flown up past 5k ft, over people, bvlos, nobody was hurt and nobody has ever died from falling drones. But its "for your safety...." They need to knock off the lies.
Your killing everything
Guys id also Gregs "Drone mastery course" literally tells you about the maneuver then shows you it's flight path via diagram then shows you how it looks in flight it's great way to learn
Thanks for sharing!
I imagine BVLOS is going to end up being a largely corporate only privilege. At the very least will need a 501 or LLC with setup and FAA approved procedures, and be prepared for some sort of notification system to alter procedures.
One thing that might change this is if someone comes out with an automatic _Detect and Avoid_ technology and it proves reliable...
I didn't know anything about maps. It was like two years ago and failed with 67 missed two questions I thought I went back too. Think it was when the test was updated
I’m getting that I need to get a 107. My intent in many flights is to take aerials of public places to post to Google, so that people may have a good idea of what an area looks like.
Even though I’m doing it for fun, there’s more to it than that.
Thanks for the comments!
Great info! Just what I was looking for. I will be using Pilot Institue for my 107 training…also you have a new subscriber 😀
Thank you for the kind words and the sub, appreciate it!
Enjoy the weekend
👍
I have a p.p.L. License so why should I joine as long has I fly by the regs
Just signed up for a training from pilot institute. Lets see how it goes
Good luck! I'm sure you'll learn a lot! 🤙
As a licensed pilot getting the 107 is extremely easy, the FAA doesn’t require us to take the 60 question test. They understand that we already have been tested on those areas. I’ve had my 107 ever since they first came out. All that was required of me was a simple online video training and a impossible to fail online test. So if your already a private pilot the 107 is even easier to get than for a non pilot.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like the 107 recurrent test...
I wish there was a rich resource and course here for Canadian regulations as well. The information, laws and interpretations are all over the place. An organized and consolidated place/app/instructor on Greg's level would be a gamechanger for a drone pilot likd me here in Canada.
Also, just for my knowledge, can you get a Part-107 if you're not a US resident? Asking because I do drive to US for hikes and backpacking and would love to fly my drone there.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, you can get your part 107 even if you're not a US citizen! A bit of extra work but possible!
I live in Panama I am retired and recreational flying my drone but need insurance were do I get it and in English
