Another tempting thing for pilots to do is fly at night. Again, it’s not allowed, unless you have a COA or COW to do so. Today we welcome Tom Kilpatrick to the show to talk about how you can go about getting this clearance. Here’s a link to the video they discuss in this episode: https://vimeo.com/184992238?ref=em-share. Thanks for joining us, and fly safe!

With events like the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (the largest hot air balloon gathering in the world) going on right now, it’s tempting for many to put the drone in the air to get some awesome shots. However, it’s very illegal and you can get into big trouble. Yet we see dopes doing this all the time. So we decided to dedicate today’s show on this topic. Stay tuned, and for goodness sake fly safe (and know the regulations)!
