Interesting these folks are able to obtain permission to use a drone for a commercial endeavour, or did they?
This appears to be filmed in the US, so the FAA rules, should be applying to them too, right?

Not that it matters, but they did call it a Drone in the video. His sentence at 0:07 to 0:12 is
"I honestly think the best way to do it would be to send the Drone up with the flare attached."
What authorities? That may be against the letter of the law but the FAA has better things to do than fine a guy for flying a tricopter looking for ghosts. The way I see it this is the jaywalking of aviation laws, at least for now.
Wyatt, they will have a hard time convincing the authorities, as in the show, where they are flying is not a farm, and clearly not flying for fun.
Anands, they did not call it a drone. I'm calling it that. It's not flying autonomous, but even RC models cannot be flown commercially without FAA authorization.
I suspect that what they're calling a 'drone' is actually just an RC model. I know lots of people, including the media, that do that. Some 'drone strikes' are completely manned remotely.
Yep, I get the US departments mixed up sometimes.
Don't you mean FAA rules?
