Recommendations Needed for Entry-Level Professional Drone for New 107 Pilot

The most common missions will be real estate-related, making videos of medium and large rural tracts for online brochure purposes.

Other missions may include crop inspections, insurance inspections (trees falling through the roof, for example), barn and silo inspections, and occasionally golf courses and resorts.

I have little experience with drones, but considerable aviation experience dating back to the 1970's. I hold both pilot and mechanic certificates, but will have to take the initial 107 test because I've only flown ultralights for the past 10 years and have no medical, BFR, nor currency. I also have been flying remote-control airplanes off and on since the 1970's.

In other words, I'm not too worried about crashing the thing. I know enough to start with basic maneuvers in light winds and work my way up until I'm ready for actual missions, and I have plenty of space to practice.

I passed practice knowledge tests for 107 with grades in the 80's and 90's, but I decided to take a course anyway (Pilot Institute) because I want to get 100 percent on the FAA test. I figure this probably will be my last FAA test, so I want to ace it. The one and only time I ever got 100 on an FAA test before was my Airframe Mechanic test in 1980.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

Purchase and use of parachutes for drones

The new law will allow working in conditions that were previously illegal. One operational scenario that has been most needed is flying drones in urban areas or over crowds of people, and this will be possible with a few requirements. One of them, the one that drives most operators crazy, is that the drone has an impact energy absorption system (airbag or parachute). The problem with this is that AESA has not yet decided on the specifications that these devices will need. Logically, it is about introducing a new element for improvement aviation security in the use of drones, but in this case the indications for use are not very clear. The subject seems delicate and following the rules can be costly. We will comment on the current situation and how DronProfessional.com is handling it A parachute is a good item to minimize damage in case of accidental drops of the drone.
