I’m sorry but I disagree with your statements regarding an HOA. How can an HOA control airspace over its’ neighborhood? The HOA does not own the airspace above the neighborhood thus they have no control over it. They also do not own your property so they can’t tell you that you cannot takeoff or land from your own property. They can prohibit you from taking off from and landing on common property owned by the HOA but I believe that’s the extent of their control.

Same way city/county/states regulate UAVs: they regulate the operator, not the aircraft. I.e. not permitted to operate an aircraft within their jurisdiction such that it overflies a specific area. As to whether or not they have authority - it all depends on the HOA and their CCRs. Generally, anything owner/guest conduct within the boundary of the HOA is fair game for regulation. Consider this: how many HOAs have rules for noise, Christmas lights, or Halloween decorations? Those are all examples of owner conduct on their property that is being regulated by the HOA.
@kmoecub6 ай бұрын
@@tomweirx The FAA overrides all state and local regulations when it comes to airspace. The FAA requires that all property owners provide an easement that allows aircraft to fly over private property. UAVs are aircraft as defined by the FAA. The only restrictions that state and local governments (including HOA's) can impose is where UAVs can take-off and land from. If you hand launch and hand capture the UAV you're golden, though that has yet to be challenged in court.

@@mr_agave I live under an HOA so I know all about what they can and cannot do. The problem with them is they OFTEN make rules that are not legal or enforceable in a court of law. Most HOAs are made up of unpaid busy bodies within the private community that have no experience and have nothing better to do with their first time in power. Yes, they could make a rule about landing and takeoff from your property, but that only applies to the people that live there and pay their HOA dues to them. That HOA has NO LEGAL POWER over the guy across the street who owns his own property and flies over their "HOA airspace". They can't fine you since you are not part of their private community.

Provided the HOA covenant doesn’t prohibit flying RC aircraft, you are allowed to launch & land from your property, provided it’s not Class B, C, D, E airspace. Once aloft, a prudent flight plan would be to ascend straight up to an altitude above all natural and manmade objects (which clearly puts your aircraft above any airspace the HOA can reasonably claim as that governed by HOA rules).

I've been flying for several years now. I've never been confronted about my drone operations, not even once. I have only once ever been approached by a curious onlooker, and he was friendly. I've probably been lucky in this regard, as I'm sure there are many people who are not civil about such things, or who would assume the worst about me. One hears stories of such interactions. It helps if one has an ethos to fly in a professional, safe, courteous and transparent manner and to never-ever be a creep. Reactionary local rules/bans (attempted or successful) on drone operations seem to frequently stem from 1-2 drone owners in the area who have been reckless or creepy. Either way, I also carry a fact sheet highlighting current UAV and airspace laws that I'd be happy to share with anyone who might ever try to confront me about flying in certain area. All that said, I'm not a fan of HOA's telling people what they can and cannot do with/on their own property.

I fly in my neighborhood. Most of the time I am in transit when flying over houses, however sometimes I do hover in a position for a photo or video, almost always toward the horizon or some other subject in the distance. I could be hovering over a house because it is neighborhood flying and because it is restricted airspace I am kept to a max of 200 ft altitude. I just do it and not worry about it. There is no way to avoid flying over houses and property when flying in a neighborhood. Now, I have no interest in spying on anyone, and a drone is a terrible piece of equipment to use for that purpose anyway. It does bring to mind one day I was in my drive way (not drone flying) when I heard the tell-tale buzzing of a drone. I looked up and there was one hovering over my property at 30--40 ft in the air. I don't know if he had his camera pointed down or not, but I just flashed a peace sign and went on about my day. The eventually got bored and flew away. LOL

May I be so bold as to offer one minor correction? If flying under 15 CFR Part 44809 (Recreational exception), in addition to taking the TRUST Test and following those rules explicitly stated on the FAA website, you are also required to follow the guidelines of an FAA recognized Community Based Organization (CBO). There are, last I looked, 4 CBO's listed on the FAA website. You don't have to join any of these outfits, just read what their guidelines are and follow one of them at any given time. You can choose which one on a per flight basis if you want, but you need to be able to tell any LEO or other authority which one you are adhering to. One, and only one, of the CBO's (The AMA) prohibits flying over an occupied dwelling. So, if you're flying recreationally around your neighborhood you need to fly under the guidelines of a different CBO. Of course, how many people that you are likely to run into, including LEO's, will know any of this? You are far more likely to run into some ignorant neighbor who will swear that it's illegal to fly a drone over private property. It's not!

You do not have to inform any LEO of which CBO you are following. Only the FAA can enforce those rules. They are not laws, they are FAA regulations.

They can gather evidence and turn it over to the FAA however. But you do not have to talk to them about it. You can choose to remain silent.

A number of states, counties, towns have laws against spying, voyeurism and/or surveillance. It would not be an FAA matter, but a matter of local authority. So if a drone is doing something that rises to that level then you can follow up on that with law enforcement. However simply having a picture take a picture or video that includes your property or during a time when you happen to out in your yard, then no.

OK first of all, you only need LAANC authorization if you are at a high altitude MSL that your 400 feet AGL would put you in restricted airspace, the exception to that role is class B airspace where they require you to get authorization if you are within the bounds of the airspace. HOAs regulate the takeoff of your drone within the neighborhoods, but they cannot prevent you from flying from outside of the community into the community. Also, one of the other things that you said was you’re not allowed to fly over people unless under certain conditions. While you are right, the one thing that you did not clarify is that you are allowed to fly over people while in transit. Sustained flight is what is restricted.

I think many respondents misunderstand what an HOA restriction on drone flying is about. It is not about airspace regulation, or even land use (although it could be). It is about regulating the behavior of a member of the HOA within HOA property boundaries. Flying a drone is a human behavior, as is painting a house purple, planting an invasive shrub, or wearing a pink shirt. If the HOA agreement prohibits certain behaviors by members within the confines of the HOA, such as flying a drone, then the member cannot fly a drone within the HOA boundaries without violating the terms of the HOA agreement.

There are many HOA rules that are "unenforceable" and unlawful, the same as many municipalities have tried to do in the past. The HOA could pass rules restricting taking off and landing on HOA owned property, but these rules have been abandoned many times once push came to shove. In Illinois, I've challenged and defeated every HOA that tried to restrict me from completing Part 107 commercial operations regarding real estate photos and videos. The airspace above any HOA neighborhood is completely the purview of the FAA. My town in IL where I'm incorporated passed an ordinance 7 years ago forbidding any drone flights anywhere in the Village. After I brought several FAA and DHS documents to the village board meeting explaining that this is an unlawful ordinance, and told them that they MUST instruct their 85 member police force to immediately stop threatening to arrest drone hobbyists and commercial drone operators. That took almost a year before they stopped and It took myself taking off in front of the police headquarters from a public easement, and flying my drone overhead their facility for hours until my supply of batteries wore out, for them to have enough discussions amongst themselves that the police now avoid drone operators as to not create another backlash.

@uavcoach5 ай бұрын
It's not so much that you're a Recreational Pilot, but that you're flying a Recreational Flight under the Exception (USC 44809). USC 44809 requires that "The aircraft is operated in accordance with or within the programming of a community-based organization's (CBO) set of safety guidelines that are developed in coordination with the Federal Aviation." The Academy of Model Aeronautics is one example of a CBO that has a set of safety guidelines. On Page 4 of those guidelines (www.modelaircraft.org/sites/default/files/documents/100.pdf), there is a statement "I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures." So, you aren't complying with Part 107.39, but you need to meet the requirements of the CBO Guidelines. The FAA also has an Advisory Circular (AC) titled Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft (AC 91-57C) that provides information to help you understand and comply with the requirements of USC 44809. The AC is here: www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_91-57C_FAA_Revised.pdf. Section 3.3.2.1 General Safety Measures and Practices is where this item is called out. Bottom line is that you have to ensure your flight meets the intent of 107.39 (don't fly over people), but you're not actually complying with that Part.

You won't hear a drone 300ft in the air.

@oreos922 Irrelevant and probably inaccurate comment. Who cares about that one figure? Will I hear it at 299? 298? 297? 296? As they go up and down? And so on. Too many drone operators only care about their own "fun" as they look down on their neighbors who don't want to be looked down or "spied" upon. Again, if you want to be known in the whole neighborhood as "that scum who bothers us every day/week with his drone," and "If he needs help with anything at all he can go screw himself," well then okay, probably your choice as bad as that choice is. But if you'd rather be a decent, moral person who is well liked and that people are willing to be friends with or help on occasion, well then I'd say that's a lot better for everyone including you.

Appears one You tuber was fined $200.000 for flying around his neighborhood , near buildings over people , near an airport etc since 2019 to present . But we know the FAA is looking to make examples of various RC Aviators even when their claims are far more than truthful . SO be very careful where you fly and how you fly and especially posting it to the Net. You could be used as another example of the FAA's Commercial Lobbyists leaders.

He was warned multiple times and given the opportunity to get his 107 cert. But he essentially said FU to the FAA. That's why he's in court now.

@@PhillyGuy60 does not matter it is still about commercial companies buying the space and using the FAA/Congress to push all others out and into a club field somewhere and stealing the rights and freedoms of all US Citizens declared even in the US code, Constitution, Bill of Rights and most laws of the land . The FAA has limited authority and it is just in "navigable airspace" and that has been their mandate since Congress described it and that has not changed as of yet to this day that even the courts have shown to be a fact. But we do not have enough people willing to stand up and end the steal and the unlawful and Unconstitutional rules/regs they have imposed on the RC Aviation community.

Depending on the country, eg. In Australia, you cannot fly a drone over someone’s property. Just do the right thing and don’t try and be one of those people who thinks it’s their right to fly wherever you want.

BS. You ever looked up when you're walking around with your mouth open and teeth hanging out? No, not likely. So basically, you don't know whats up there. Wanna fly, just fly.

The TRUST test is not required for recreational pilots. It is suggested, but entirely optional. Between that and the other incorrect advice that you've given (see the HOA related comments) I just can't see you as a trustworthy authority on anything regarding UAV operations in the U.S.A>

Actually it is required, that's the whole point of making it fail proof. It's not for professionals by a long shot. Size does not matter, including drones.😂

What is TRUST? The law requires that all recreational flyers pass an aeronautical knowledge and safety test and provide proof of passage if asked by law enforcement or FAA personnel. The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) was developed to meet this requirement.
