October 12, 2018 ADU 0886: Are There Any Serious Repercussions for Hobby Pilots Who Fly Without FAA’s Permission?
Today's question is about drone laws for hobby pilots. Can a hobby pilot fly without prior FAA permission in an area with "No Drone" signs? In the worst case scenario, can he simply get away by begging forgiveness?

Our caller, Vikram has come up with a question that many of you must be wondering about. With the passage of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act, there are stricter Do's and Don'ts in place for hobby pilots. Vikram is wondering if these strict laws have any teeth to them. Is the FAA likely to take him to task for flying in areas like state fairs with "No Drone" signs?

Tune in and listen to Paul and Rob discuss Vikram's quandary. This show is full of some real world insights that you are sure to appreciate greatly. We share Tips, Tricks and Resources that can help you skillfully deal with any confrontations while you are out flying. Thanks to Vikram for the great question. Fly Safe!
