Drone laws in the USA | How to LEGALLY fly a drone | Do you need a commercial drone license?

📚Drone Study Course | Study for your drone test using the same course we used! The Pilot Institute Course : https://bit.ly/3svBV5V Today we’re talking about how to legally fly a drone for Youtube videos and some FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) laws surrounding drone flying. After someone anonymously reported us to the FAA, we were told we could not fly our drone until we passed the Part 107 test to become a commercial drone pilot. It was a bit scary, a lot confusing, but in the end we’re more confident drone pilots thanks to some amazing study materials. Chris aced his test and today we’re answering some of your questions from Instagram that you had regarding drone flying, Youtube vlogging, and more.
