How to Deal with Unlicensed Drone Operators with Zero Regard for the Law

Today’s question is about dealing with unlicensed drone operators. Should you report unlicensed pilots who can possibly cause damage to others because of their frivolous attitude?

Our caller, Joe was recently in for a shock. He ran into an unlicensed operator who flew for disaster relief when the last hurricane hit Texas. How should Jill deal with such unlicensed operators who have no regard for the law?

Should you call the FSDO to report these guys? Or, should you adopt a more restrained approach? Tune in to find out. Thanks for the question, Jill. Fly Safe!
