CALL FROM THE FAA
- Thread starter riverphantom3
- Start date
I find this so interesting that people keep saying this. The FAA does call pilots.
RiverBrooks...if the FAA hasn't called this guy, why in the world are they harassing you? Maybe the drone busting business is getting too slow? Gotta move their office to Vega I guess.
Interesting..I didn't think there was a microphone on the P3. But, it wouldn't be the same without the sound of gun shots ;-)
Ya haha...I'm sure that was post production. Also that Demunseed guy was somehow able to keep VLOS on an Inspire at 2.5 miles by watching the blinking dot. Not impossible, but you'd think FAA would send him a letter or two (or phone call)
Shooting a gun in the air is a lot worse than this guy flying his drone, regardless of legality.
Unbelievable. Thanks for sharin'!

Contrary to popular opinion, the FAA don't monitor everything posted on Youtube ... but if they did they would probably switch off when demunseed came up on their screen.
They do however respond to reports and complaints.
The OP posted a thread a little while back that may well have been reported to them.

Kick rocks.. I didn't say anything derogatory I just refuted your statements. I'm sorry you got sand in your private parts. You called me out and I smacked you down. That's all. You tried and lost. Where in the hell did I use my position. I never even said who I worked for... Are you 12.. Grow up.
Kick Rocks.

That's way different. That's a pilot of an aircraft.. A real aircraft not a "flying camera."

Got it, just surprised there have been no complaints apparently then on the Vegas shooting drone or Demunseed's crazy antics.
The comments on this video from England are encouraging/praising of the quality-even though they do have laws and some were broken in this video. Just a very different kind of commentary vs. US based videos/commenters isn't it? I've often wondered why that is.

Are you referring to the guy with the fake russian accent? If so, that is all CGI so no worries. Demunseed, well that guy is class by himself
