The average " LAW ABIDING" Citizen commits at least 3 felonies and no telling how many penal code infractions every single day. So what is your point? It gets better because the law makers create and pass new "Laws" daily... just because your not being charged with the alleged crimes or infractions doesn't mean your not committing them as well. So why judge him for doing something that is harmless? In my opinion as long as you have not hurt someone or their property your good to go..... if everyone followed every single BS law you could not exist period. There is absolutely now way possible.

Thanks for posting a video to make safer drone pilots. For those arguing, please just respect us flying manned aircraft too. We have to worry about other aircraft but we are on with air traffic control. We have a lot of stress and it’s annoying when we come back from a flight and someone is flying their drone at pattern altitude. We follow laws too. We aren’t anti drone, we just want to know where you are at with them. We appreciate when someone lets us know they are operating a drone at this altitude off to this part of the airport. It’s not a “The government is trying to take away my freedoms” It’s about a safer environment for everyone. I don’t care if you are 2,000 feet, as long as I know your intentions and where you are at. Read the book of laws we follow. You will see you don’t have it bad at all. Sincerely, Airplane/helicopter pilot, commercial drone operator

Just in case you were wanting to fly up real close to an FM or TV tower (ESPECIALLY a TV tower), DON'T!!! A friend of mine who works as a Broadcast Engineer at a TV station in Kansas City, Missouri (you have six choices) attempted to do a Video inspection of the station's tower - 1,100 feet of it - from a distance of less than 50 feet with a company-owned Mavic drone. This inspection was done on company time by a licensed private - and Part 107 certified - pilot. Just as he reached the bottom of the radiating TV antenna array, the drone feed was lost and the Mavic fell 1,100 feet to it's desctruction in a nearby wooded area (a clue!). The Moral here is - DO NOT fly into the near-field of a high-power, high frequency antenna array. In case you were wondering, the pilot did not lose his job. A company-wide memo was issued to all Chief Engineers pointing out the dangers of operating drones near radiating high power television antenna arrays. I hope that this helps!

They even give me a courtesy call to go over my intentions and make a plan. It's awesome. The tower manager says by doing this if local enforcement ever gives me issues at the beach I'm at that they are even my get out of jail free card and by doing this I'm in compliance by being cleared and in contact with the tower prior. Talk about blurred lines. I practically get the right of way and my flights are 100% hobby no 107.

AMA is only involved at an AMA field or AMA sanctioned event. You can otherwise do as you please without interfering with full size aircraft.

@ToddCopeland

The AMA has no power at all over non-AMA members. What Section 336 means is that local organizations can apply rules but only to those that it already had power over. For example, if you are participating in an AMA sanctioned event, the AMA can make rules governing public airspace but it only applies to those who agree to the terms of that participation. The AMA would have the ability to govern airspace, as long as it does not override Section 336 but only for it's members. Don't like you... they can only revoke your membership, nothing more. The AMA liked to broadcast the FAA's acknowledgement as it served their purpose to look more important and gain membership. You don't need to choose any CBO in any form or fashion in order to fly.

Congress explicitly says in HR 658 sec 336 that in order to be a hobbyist you must operate according to a community based set of safety guidelines "AND within the programming of a CBO". Meaning that yes, you have to choose a set of CBO rules to follow. If you read FAA-2014-0396, it reinforces that the FAA interprets the law as such.

Let me see if I can put it another way. Section 336 states as follows: ; (2) the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; We know that the AMA is a "CBO" (again, means nothing). You acknowledge that other CBO's can be follows and this is fine. So... I choose to follow the nationwide CBO called American UAV Fliers". Their set of guidelines are easy.. you can fly whenever you want. So, as long as I fly whenever I want, I'm following a national CBO's guidelines. This satisfied your statement. Makes perfect sense according to your interpretation of Section 336. If anyone wants, please feel free to follow this CBO's guidelines and you are in compliance with Section 336. Done deal.

Thanks for the information I live very close to a radio station with a very tall tower now I can check it out up close!

Great info. Thank you so much for sharing!

Just a note on flying near broadcast towers. As a drone flyer, ham radio operator and someone that has worked in a technical capacity in broadcasting for many years...flying near high power television or radio transmitter towers is extremely foolish. RF blocking can easily occur which closes the ALC in the front end of the receiver (even if the radio of TV transmitter frequency is nowhere near that of the controller) and cause the drone to literally "not hear" the control. This is the best case scenario which will usually end in the drone doing a "go home". The worst case scenario however is that the high level of RF can cause the drone's CPU and control systems to malfunction causing a catastrophic failure of the drone. It is a must that drones are kept away from directly in front of the antennas on TV and FM transmitters as they usually have directional antennas, concentrating the signal lobe in one or two directions. Sites with multiple transmitters feeding the one tower can radiate hundreds of thousands of watts of RF which can easily cause a malfunction of the drone's control systems. The tower in this video looks to be some sort of cellular or data transmission facility which would not run such high power. But definitely something to keep in mind about high power broadcast facilities. Keep well back! Happy flying!

Where I live, there's a 50kW FM tower plus AM plus cellular and government transmitters for the FBI. The FM lobe touches ground in my front yard. It's over 120dBu here. Technically, the station is in violation of the RFR rules. But my main point is, when I wasn't thinking about it, I brought a new video camera outside to test the ND filter and the menus froze such that I had to remove the battery to restart the camera. Some laptops crash when I bring them outside in the yard. The house is Faraday shielded to -100dB from 1Mhz to 1.5GHz, so no problem indoors. Naturally, this was foremost on my mind when I took my drone up for a test flight.

This is good information to have, but I feel that you should explain more of the reasons this is acceptable. I'm a private pilot under part 61 and the reason for 400 feet is to keep 100 feet of separation from manned aircraft. As a manned aircraft cannot fly below 500 feet around people, vessels or structures. So that allows you 400 feet AGL and the added 400 feet above a structure.

Didn't I just say it means squat? AMA doesn't have a 400ft rule, other than 3 miles radius of an airport, but what you need to look out for is your county civil codes which often defer to CBO or FAA guidelines so you do have to follow them, unfortunately in a lot of cities. Everyone forgets their local county civil codes which are far more important than this national FAA or AMA nonsense. It's the sheriff's you have to watch out for because they don't give a shit what AMA, FAA or anyone else has told you. As long as their civil code is in effect you are going to jail for flying over 400ft in their county. Best check your counties civil code because most likely they do have new restrictions. They've been sneaking them into all the major counties in my area in past few years. Here are ours codes for Los Angeles County: clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2015/15-0927_misc_09-17-2015.pdf

You said _if_ you were an AMA member that guideline means squat. That is incorrect. You don't need to be an AMA member for that guideline to mean squat (or not). Local code does not mean anything when it comes to regulating airspace. US Code specifically states that _only_ the FAA can regulate airspace. So local code cannot impose a limit on where the drone is flying. Local codes _have_ been made that state this but they are illegal laws that should be found not to be valid. Local governments are free to regulate the person on the ground but not the actual drone in the air. Notice the ordinances that you linked to (not sure it passed) keeps stating, "no person". Its an attempt to adhere to US Code in that it attempts to regulate the _person_ flying and not the drone in public airspace. At least they appear to have attempted to abide by US Code. I would not agree that the way it's written would stand up in court. Also, they can't even get #1 correct. Congress does not require authorization from an airport, only notification. Some of the people who write these local ordinances probably can't write a grocery list on their own.

Thanks for that Ken, a really useful tip for us amateurs.

It is irresponsible people like you that make it harder for the rest of us to fly legally. You are flying illegally.

Being a private pilot and a drone owner, I can tell you that the dipshits flying their drones up high are a HUGE danger to us. Why? Because your drone is tiny, we are flying at upwards of 100+ knots, and we have no clue where to look if you don't have a transponder. It is hard enough to spot aircrafts with trained pilots, with dozens of hours of experience and clear training on what to do to avoid any mid-air collisions, then you reduce the size of a say 27' Cessna 172 to 13" and it's damn near impossible to see unless it's too late. And you might be going, "But, boo hoo, why are you so low??!" Well, 1. because we can (assuming 1000ft AGL over highest point within 2,000 feet). 2. Maybe it's because we're landing or ascending, where pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL. 3. We have radio communication with others around us. Furthermore, I had a much-to-close of a call with some idiot FPVer flying around 2,500 feet AGL in his/her drone, and there certainly was no 2,100 ft tall tower they were hanging around. I had to take evasive action because this bumbling idiot was flying his drone along at around 6x the limit. And, to those that don't understand the implications, striking a drone the size of a P3 or P4 could disable/fatally damage a small aircraft. That's right, your "OMG, this is so cool because I'm so high!" moment could end the life of a pilot and any passengers they may have. Which, you must realize, means the end of your life, too. Breaking the law and fatalities, along with this being a novel case, will mean you shall be spending the rest of your life either in jail or with felony charges that will forever detrimentally impact you. So, as a drone pilot, go have fun, follow regulations, and be safe. As a PP, don't fly high, and fuck those of you that haphazardly do it because you think you're cool.

Currently, there is only one of these applicable for UAS pilots, AMA's set (which is where the 400ft guideline comes from). So while you may be correct in saying that those guidelines aren't written into law themselves, it is written into law that we follow a community based organizations set of rules... And there's only one of those right now. For all intents and purposes, the guidelines are the law.

unrelated question, do you like the fat sharks better than the dji goggles on a comfort level? and is the video as good or better, I know they are completely different but those two things to me are more important. I HAD a pair in the first wave and HATED THEM bulky didn't stay put and heavy as hell. thanks

I love the prozac bit :D

I am not sure why but i am addicted to your personality!

hi ken what app do you use for your hight? ,luv flying my mavic,about to get a phantom 4,have many drones fun stuff,really dig your vids as well

Hey ken! I just bought a p3s, and I have been watching drone videos for the past month. your videos are so funny and they teach a lot too!

HAA!! Thanks James. VHS? --I'm a Beta man.

Had the 1st flight today, went up 500 feet just outside a no-fly zone. Had no idea. Have the Hover app now. The cool thing is, my drone warned me about potential aircraft and I came back down right away. Cool video. :)

Very good. Drones are fun!

thank you, does this apply in Canada too with flying DJI mini 1/mini SE/ mini 2 or mini 3 drone flight regulations?

Very informative. Thank you.

Interesting. I wonder what might have been on that tower to interfere with the controller.

Ken I wish I knew..It is not a cell tower but some business band and I lost all screen functions until it started back to where I was..I've seen lost signal before but this was different..

your videos crack me up. thanks for the info

I know this may be a dumb question, but if I am on a hill when I take off is the 400 feet rule from take off point or, when I fly out from the hill, do I have to bring my drone down to match the surrounding terrain . as the hill goes down ? Or when you fly out from a cliff, and travel more than 400 feet out away from the take off point, do you have to dive the drone down, several hundred feet below the take off point.......?

Thanks for the video. Being that close to Nashville are you not in a class b flight zone? Flying in Memphis is difficult for that reason alone.

Hi, Ken love your videos, recently started watching your videos and love them keep up great work. I myself have herd you talk about outsourcing video editing, I'm really new to drone world in my opinion on just getting my first p4. Looking to outsource were is my cheapest/best place to look. I have half dozen houses I could line up tomorrow but the editing is not for me with 3 kids and a full time job (60+hours a week) already on my plate. Best wishes, kenneth

As always great info! Thx!

JT I agree!

Thank you Ken, I did get a hold of technical support for Dji, they kept me on phone about two questions I had for thirty minutes, and still didnt explain answer to my questions as good as you did. Thank you very much.

Nice video, check out my DJI Spark footage at Seven Sisters Cliffs: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn2Ywc98gtuvYLg.html

Hi ken, I am getting my drone tomorrow and have been tutorial ing for quite some time now and just wanted to ask a question. For shooting around my area, are there any places that are certain no shooting zones besides airports etc. , what I mean is, are there areas where people will give you a hard time despite being a legal place to shoot?

Good stuff Ken, I am now a Subscriber :)

Dang Ken, you produce very good videos and your comedy is spot on. I'm subscribing!

Another great video 👌.Do you know any laws about flying in florida county parks ?can't find a direct answer?

From past experience (having to climb towers like that)… look at the paint. Red/white are usually spaced 50’ .

Good info, thank Ken!
