Again…
I spoke to the FAA field engineer in Indianapolis. He made this pretty clear to me: 1. IF for commercial use (you get paid to do job X), you must have Section 333 exemption and have a private license. 2. IF you are a WISP doing this for your own towers, you cannot get a Section 333 exemption. You must have an assigned aircraft number to your drone and have a private license. Your operation is consider normal flight operation just like any other aircraft. You MUST stay below 200 ft. or notify of intent to fly higher. (drones only) 3. IF you are flying for hobby, you can have at it up to x feet. (real logical to me – not) Next year the rules will all change. He said they hope to have some kind of test in place that you take/pass and your good. I don’t really like this idea but it’s not my call.

(I even overheard the call.) They had the local PD sign off as well and everything went fine. The main concern was that no money was changing hands and stay below 400 ft.
