Thanks for your input. I was wrong about the legality. I would, however, recommend that anyone flying indoors, especially “professional” pilots with a 107, not do anything inside that the FAA would consider a violation on the outside. God forbid, something would happen, I am sure an attorney...

Not sure what you meant by “private”. The post did not identify the owner of the indoor facility. But if it was private, you would probably be right as long as the activity was legal. However, there are thousands large indoor public venues owned by the fed/city/state. They may be managed by a...

I probably didn't express myself as clearly as I could. I always try not to say anything in a pubic forum that I wouldn't face-to-face but sometimes written words don't do as well. The more I think about it, the more that I believe you might be right on the legal aspects. If the FAA doesn't...

The “line” is determined by lawyers and often who has the most $$. I know, however, that as a commercial 107 operator, he would be held to a much high degree of responsibility. Any time you put on the hat of “professional”, you are graded much differently by lawyers and a jury. That is why I...

I obviously am not telling him what to do. He might be right. I am interested enough to call the local GADO on Monday and ask. I agree with the implication to safety regardless. It may be that it is ok with FAA simply because it is in a building. But I would argue that what is deemed...

Ask the FAA for him and let us know. Over and out.

More appropriately, he should talk with the FAA before he accepts your foolish response to him.

I understand your perspective but it is not correct in the context of the poster's question. The post was, "as a 107 pilot..." Based on that, he is operating under 107 regulations and implied that as he was being asked to do the flight. On that basis, the 107 regs would apply to flight near...

"Same difference" is an oxymoron. Don't understand. The FAA does reg indoor flight or cage flight since the regs for proximity to people applies to both.

Off subject. The post was about flying in a large building, not a “cage”. But if someone is killed or seriously injured inside a “cage”, it doesn’t matter, it must be reported and is a violation.

Absolutely. The FAA regs still prohibit flight in the vacuity of or over people. If, by example, you were flying over people at an indoor rodeo, you would be violating the regs.

But will they get involved if someone is hurt/killed or there is significant property damage? I believe there is a required reporting provision and then there could be loss of license.

Turn on your Inspire BEFORE you launch the Go4 application. Close the Go4 app BEFORE you shoutdown the Inspire. It solved this issue for me.

Are you in to RC planes and archery? Know an aircraft mechanic ‘Dave’ in LAS that is. “Mingle high powered rockets and drones”....that might attract unwanted attention.

I keep my eight I2 batteries in a garage steel gun safe with all my other Lipo batteries. I have not been able to fly for 3+ months. Just checked, all eight batteries showed 3 lights. All are programmed to go to storage charge after 10 days. Your problem is clearly a DJI charging station issue.
