Unrelated Redneck story…

Last night we were under a tornado watch. Kept getting paged out for potential hail coming in but no tornado spotted.

Me being a redneck wanted to film the storm with the new drone before it hit. I launched the drone and took it up to 400 foot.

About that time the tornado siren kicks off and blaire comes running out screaming to me to leave the drone and get her and the kids to grandmas (where we can go to basement)

I landed the drone in gale force winds and raced the family to grandmas. I’m still catching fire.

But I’m a Redneck at heart and we like to watch storms. Just a Redneck with a drone lol

Haha that’s awesome. It being cold over 6 months a year might have something to do with it…lol

That would have been cool catching video with a drone

Annnndd… I’m pretty sure you have a FAA part 107.29 – Daylight Operations waiver, in order to fly at night. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

§ 107.29 Daylight operation.

(a) No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft system during night.

(b) No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft system during periods of civil twilight unless the small unmanned aircraft has lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles. The remote pilot in command may reduce the intensity of the anti-collision lighting if he or she determines that, because of operating conditions, it would be in the interest of safety to do so.

(c) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this section, civil twilight refers to the following:

(1) Except for Alaska, a period of time that begins 30 minutes before official sunrise and ends at official sunrise;

(2) Except for Alaska, a period of time that begins at official sunset and ends 30 minutes after official sunset; and

(3) In Alaska, the period of civil twilight as defined in the Air Almanac.

It has it! :tada::tada:

The part I don’t understand is if a small drone is safety Hazzard what about seagulls, ducks, etc? Nevermind eagles, buzzards, etc! It’s kind of like saying no canoes, paddle boards,or kayaks on navigable rivers. :astonished:

I guess your not reading the regs correctly.

Paragraph A - no night flying of UAV, period.

Paragraph B - can fly during twilight with anti-collision lights installed.

I’m fairly certain that birds are not subject to the FAA. Navigable rivers also have regulations concerning watercraft to ensure safety. Last time I checked even a kayak has to have lights to operate at night, and must always have a personal flotation device aboard, at least in my state.

Flotation devices yes. I have yet to see A canoe or kayak with navigation lights! :grin:

I’m pretty sure I’m safe flying it a few hundred feet above my own land. Not that it’s legal… I also drive 5mph over the speed limit regularly.

I live in a town of 500 people and 20 miles from the nearest airport that can barley accept a twin engine plane.

But thank you for the insight! I really didn’t know you couldn’t fly at night. I’ve seen so many videos at night.
