Tell me you know nothing about drones without telling me...

Every drone flyer in the US must take and pass the TRUST exam on the FAA.gov website.
Law enforcement and FAA officials can legally ask for that certificate from any drone flyer while they are flying. The fines have been up to $30,000 if a drone flyer does not have that certificate while flying.
The FAA has authority over all air space and not local or state law enforcement. All air space in The Villages is Class G air space with no restrictions. However, drones are not permitted to fly over groups of people, public events or stadiums full of people.
I am VP of the Drone Flyers Club of The Villages and Don Wiley is President. Our club educates drone flyers and promotes safety and respect for others while flying drones.
