Has anyone here ever submitted an application for flying over people waiver? To the best of my knowledge CNN is the only company who has had one approved- or at least listed on the FFA's website. (Side note: Do they really list every approved request? I'd assume there would be more approved by now.)
To my understanding the FAA granted them this because it would be safer than having a 6,000 pound helicopter flying above people and that they're using a tethered system (Fotokite Home - Aerial Filming Made Easy). Although their waiver stipulates they are allowed to use an Inspire among a couple others.
I work at ski resort and would love to fly over people (safely of course) and if that means buying a tethered system, than so be it. But I would much rather fly my Inspire 2 (when it comes). Any suggestions/tips or resources to look into would be greatly appreciated? I appreciate any and all feedback. I will be submitting one even if the chance of approval is slim to none.
Thanks.
