Dear Fellow Members
Many of us are thinking about doing business using manual remote controlled, gps assisted and/or unmanned aerial systems now that FAA is starting to release the aerial space for that.
I understand that now only a few test police agencies are allowed to fly unmanned missions and that the air space for drones will gradually be opened.
But for us diyers or hobbyists thinking in creative ways to explot the many technological innovations that are reachable with a low budget aircraft .....what is the real possibility of being able to offer aerial photo or video services and charge for those flight sessions legally?
I have seen many websites offering "Free" flights as a hobby and charging for "editing" the video or pictures so they disguise the real commercial aspect of their activity.
Is there a real future being addressed for that type of business?
And second.... to supply drones or services using drones like Arducopter to the police or fire departrments does the manufacturer of such equipment need to go to some type of certification process so the aerial platform is qualified for that?
Thank you for your kind answers!
