@9:10 If the FAA is there and unsure if your drone is under .55lbs, they will absolutely weigh your drone. Had it happen to a friend.

Regardless of whether or not it’s legal, you gotta always gotta consider what will happen if your drone suddenly drops out of the sky. Use common sense and plan for the worst so even then you’ll be fine and so will everybody else.

also if you can use a drone that doesn't weigh too much. like use the Mini 4 pro.

Can't always be worried about whether your drone randomly crashes. That's like you not ever driving on the freeway vs side street's because your car could crash

@@harleyfolgado I think that’s true for commercial drone pilots but nobody should be putting other people and their property at risk if there are safer low risk places to do that. That’s selfish behavior.

Common sense sounds good, but to my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "common sense" defense to prosecution.

Transitioning and sustained flight are all considered operations over people and need a categorized drone. The definition of transitioning in the faa site is not an exemption, its just a definition. You need a categorized drone any time you are flying over people under any circumstance.

Find a covered structure like a building and hover over it so your in compliance. Also, Drone U is correct that the FAA goes after your hovering people because I personally spoke to an FAA inspector and he said the same thing 👍🏽

@@peacefulthrillseeker my point exactly. People seem to confuse the definition of transitioning as an exception but its just the way its worded on the faa site. Any time you fly over anyone under any circumstance requires a categorized drone. I was just clarifying so theres no confusion.

Traverse Not transverse. While 'traverse' refers to the act of moving across a distance, 'transverse' refers to a direction that is perpendicular or at a right angle to another direction.

If your hovering over a covered structure( a building or a similar type of structure/enclosure) then your fine. So you can maneuver within the rules especially flying over people

Hi guys, first time viewer here. You understood the rule about sustained flight over people regarding Remote ID compliant the same way I did. Have you heard any other news about this rule? So, if I am transmitting a remote ID I can have sustained flight over people. I guess that includes hovering? Any more thoughts on the topic. Good work! Thanks.

I feel like the laws are pretty straight forward, the Neo helps get around this too

I think there may be some confusion about DJI reporting over the legal limit (they would have to bubpoenaed), but the extra weight battery is reported to turn on the RID unit.

Does sustain flying apply for mini drones that are less 250 grams?

Avata 2 good to go then? It is class 1. I have two events coming up that they want drone video of but both are larger gatherings one with fewer than 100 another with greater than 100 people. My whole issue is if I have to notify everyone at the event- do i need to worry about that? (one is a ticketless free public event)

Some really bad misinformation in this video. OOP is very clear in Part 107... it says nothing about transiting, that part is limited to categorized drones: § 107.39 Operation over human beings. No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft over a human being unless- (a) That human being is directly participating in the operation of the small unmanned aircraft; (b) That human being is located under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle that can provide reasonable protection from a falling small unmanned aircraft; or (c) The operation meets the requirements of at least one of the operational categories specified in subpart D of this part. As far as Visual Line of Sight Being Defined, with subsection (a)2 making it very clear: 107.31 Visual line of sight aircraft operation. (a) With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the remote pilot in command, the visual observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small unmanned aircraft system must be able to see the unmanned aircraft throughout the entire flight in order to: (1) Know the unmanned aircraft's location; (2) Determine the unmanned aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight; (3) Observe the airspace for other air traffic or hazards; and (4) Determine that the unmanned aircraft does not endanger the life or property of another.

The caller explicitly said over or AROUND people. Note that in the operations over people regulations they never use the word "around". That's because over means over. The regulation does say that we should account for the momentum of the drone so that if we're flying towards somebody and the drone suddenly falls, its momentum shouldn't carry it into a person. Other than that (According to the faa) you can fly around people as much as you want, just not OVER them. Your concern for people's safety and your insurance companies outlook might be more conservative than the regulation, so I would suggest that you're careful when flying around people but it's not illegal to do so.
