I am now an FAA Private Pilot!!!! Listen in to today's episode and catch up on everything that's been going on. First I just wanted to apologize for not releasing an episode in a while.

With that things got busy and I decided to put a small pause on the podcast while I finished up my license. Now that I’m done, I’m ready to rev the podcast back up and create a great platform to introduce folks to the world of general aviation, through the eyes of a millennial, and all the great things you experience as an aviator. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avgeekchronicles/support

 Ep. 006: DRONES Are No Joke!! | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 2117

I've been thrown many curveballs in my flight training so far. A recent curveball was a run in with a drone! Instead of being worried or mad about it, I want to give drone users some important drone operational safety information. Since drones are still a relatively new but hot commodity, not too many people realize that when they fly drones.. they need to follow FAA Regulations.(Federal Laws) In this episode we are going to talk about the following; If you own or operate a drone, whether that be for personal or commercial (money making) purposes, you need to understand the difference between Part 101 and Part 107 Regulations. Now for the record, I love drones and believe they are incredibly useful and are showing us what flight will be like in the future. I am not a drone hater! Following simple rules and steps will personally put you ahead of the curve for any drone operations you get into. Thanks! **As a disclaimer, this information is strictly for skies governed by FAA Regulations --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/avgeekchronicles/support
