YES It’s required for any commercial work when a drone is used.

Yes, and the FAA stands for the Federal Aviation Administration. no state, city, county is exempt for this regulation. If you get caught the fine can be very expensive. And it’s not expensive to take the test and get licensed. I just suggest you study, it is not an easy test if you have no knowledge in air space, sectional maps, weather patterns, airport info. Most of it is irrelevant to flying a drone, but we all had to learn it and pass the test. Start here. https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot

Would this stack be a defect since there is no stack flashing?
So I see that DJI just recently released the Avata II drone.
This is a first person “cine-whoop” drone with prop guards.
While it’s designed to move fast and do flips and tricks…it’s also designed to move in close and not accidentally have a RUD. You know, a Rapid, Unscheduled Disassembly.
I’m curious if anyone has used the prior version, the Avata I.
Being that I’m an impulsive spendthrift, I was thinking of buying one and playing with it to see how well it works. Of course, I’ve only had two roofs that were a problem. One I should never have gotten on, and another that I didn’t get on and could have used a drone.
I don’t have my part 107, I did all the study for it years ago and couldn’t get an appointment for the test. This was back in 2017 and it just wasn’t organized properly yet. It’d have been a 2+ hour drive to get to the testing place and it was just for a side gig anyway at the time. I would get the cert and use the drone legally. It has the same camera as the Air 3 I think.

Oh, gotcha now…
Cinewhoop drones are first-person view (FPV) drones designed around flying close to subjects and in tight spaces. FPV drones are flown using a set of video goggles that receive a near real-time video feed from a camera on the drone, so the pilot can see from the drone’s perspective.
There is a galvanized steel plumbing pipe vent flange.
Yes, a defect. Area of immediate concern. Red flag. Sealant degradation.
