Can I Take off and Land from a Stationary Vehicle?

Today’s show is about taking off and landing from a stationary vehicle. Do Part 107 rules rules permit you to do so? And, is it really safe to take off from your own vehicle?

Our caller, Mike from Maryland wants to avoid potential conflict with onlookers as he flies over public land. To address this problem, Mike is contemplating flying from a trailer attached to his vehicle. Is this a smart thing to do? Will Mike end up flouting Part 107 rules by doing so?

We also discuss how Mike can avoid potential conflict by resorting to some common sense measures. As an added bonus, we have some great book recommendations that will help you sharpen your negotiation skills and resolve conflict. Tune in now!
