No, they don't have my CC numbers since I sent them a check with my paperwork. Sure, they have my cell.
So... make the leap, explain how they connect the dots from Phantom footage posted on Youtube to this kid's phone number.

So the FAA sees a house number (and a street name) and a Youtube vid and they sleuth it out and call the kid's father?
Anybody here ever get a phone call from the IRS? The government doesn't do enforcement business over the phone.

Wonder if FAA called these guys...seems pretty commercial to me LOL. Awesome video...funny how they came after River Brooks but not this? Free country-if they want to destroy their own property who cares...but it's getting harder to keep it that way.
On my website there's a link to my dads property he was trying to sell and his number was on it

It is OK to discuss this but it is not OK to berate other members. Lets dial it back a notch in here. Warnings have been issued to some, lighten up or more to come.
There have been several reports popping up on the internet where FAA has called to let people know the rules. So it apparently does happen. I posted a video on the last page of someone it happened to.
I assume they thought you used the footage of the property to help sell it?

He had the number in or attached to the footage so it appears.
But no money was exchanged for the video

That's not the important point for the FAA to determine whether some flying was commercial.
If it was part of a business activity ie. selling a property, that is commercial in their eyes.
about a year ago there were stories circulating that the FAA considers youtube videos for profit because the site sells advertising. Seems pretty thin to me.
Heres one of the stories, The FAA Says You Can't Post Drone Videos on YouTube (sorry if that was posted already). other than the news stories I don't see anything official on it. has anybody else heard this??

Exactly, no money has to change hands for it to be deemed commercial. Same thing goes for guys that think if they only charge for editing... the FAA sees right through that as it is not their first rodeo.
I believe that is because you have the option to 'monetize' your videos. Believe it or not, there are people who make a living producing YT videos.
