First off I am a horrible test taker. Second, I took Greg’s class and passed Section 107 on my first try and it’s changed my business forever! I have been able to get more clients off of my you tube videos because not a lot of Realtors here in Las Vegas are doing what I’m doing with my drones. Third, I’ve learned a lot about piloting my drone as well as the laws regulating it. I strongly suggest learning about Section 107 and earning the certificate! It’s worth the time and energy! You will learn a lot! The benefits are huge!

[Name-otxw]

It has been genuinely helpful to be able to tell people that I am a pilot as authorized by the FAA. That shuts down a lot of busybody complaints.

Just passed my part 107 today and studied through Pilot Institute. Highly recommend if you need guided instruction. As Greg said you learn more than just the test, you gain knowledge that will insure you fly safely and within all the regulations. This was a great video. I learned even more advantages to having my part 107 that I was unaware of.

Folks like you are a huge benefit to the RC drone hobby/community, explaining and giving updates on new rules ect. thank you. My dad was a WW2 Airforce Veteran and started my interest in the model avaiation hobby, but with all the new regulations and legal pitfalls i have decided to persue other interests/hobbies.

[DesertAdventuresinArizona]

I bought a DJI Mini 1 about 18 months ago and as I researched how and where to fly, I learned that I could get in big trouble! I found Pilot Institute, took their course and passed my 107 test. As a Utube creator, I run into other creators who fly drones, try to educate them and suggest they take a course. Thanks guys!

[setadoon]

So what I've learned from this is all i have to do is twist my wording a certain way and basically I'm good. Sweet.

[mentalimbalance]

Both of you made the case for Part 107 Certification exceptionally well. I’m looking forward to joining the ranks. Currently studying for the exam. I’m not necessarily wanting to go into business specifically, but I want to be a “professional” and do things the right way and most importantly, I want to pilot safely.

[BetterBGood]

Thanks for having Greg on today, I trust his commentary and I’m enrolled in his online course for my 107.

[nolimitsphotos]

VERY cool to see you guys hook up for this video! Graduate of Pilot Institute and long time follower of Alien Drones. Thank you both for doing what you do for the industry!

[natalieandgabriel]

Hi! Greg is a great instructor! I took pilot institute course so we can avoid FAA issues with our channel! I passed first try 98% and now I feel a little more confident flying my drone. I highly recommend it! Thank you for this video!

[mickeymch]

Regardless whether you are recreational or 107 it's beneficial to the pilot to know the rules you are suppose to follow. Maybe someday I'll take the test but presently the only benefit I believe would twilight and night flying in areas that require LANNC approval. I have no intention turning my hobbies into a career. I do, however, try to keep my knowledge of the laws current so I don't leave any concrete evidence of the rules I do routinely break. Fly safe!

[michaelmcculloughphotograp]

Great job Greg. I’ve been flying 107 for the past 7 years commercially. I’m always learning from you.

[AndThenSome]

I really need my part 107. Been putting it off for a while, and now I think it's time. Thanks for the inspiring video.

[Mikebfpv]

At 5:00. I'm glad this was covered early in the video. I see so many channels claiming you can't later monetize a video if you happen to catch something amazing while flying for fun. It's all about the original intent of the flight. They also say you can't post your recreational flights on social media, absolutely false, unless they are monetized! Great video. I hope more channels will clarify this misconception.

Awesome to see Liam Neeson doing drone vids on YouTube

Keith...always great content. Greg is an awesome instructor who cares about his students. My daughter and I both took his Part 107 Course and passed the exam in the high 90's. During the training I had a couple questions and comments that I posted to Pilot Institute and Greg personally got back to me immediately. Taking the Part 107 and flying drones is a great way to bond with your children. It's also a lot healthier hobby than a lot of other things kids get into these days....and they get an education and skill with their hobby! Great channel, great content. Keep up the great work!!

Flew as a Flight Engineer in the USN. I took Greg’s course and it is actually very good. Was certified on the first run. Great video.

[silekiernanphotography]

Keith, agree with you on knowing the rules! No running from gramps

What we need to do is reach out to HAM radio operators and those clubs and infrastructure. The drone development path has a shared trajectory and history.

Quickish example my radio club is ready and practices monthly to provide communications in the event of a natural disaster. In Our neck of the woods those disasters include tornadoes and floods. It's a tradition that reaches back to CIvil Defense.
Just to keep sharp, use our toys and have fun we provide comms for bike rides, parades and search and rescue.

Currently looking into Part 107, studying through online course work, but still had some inquisitive questions (that seem like they are received often since they were asked here). Many were answered in this segment! Thank you so much for the information and answering all these questions, very helpful.
