I am sure this will not bother Hollywood, as they have the coin.

According to the FAA, you have to be able to have LOS. I have changed my FPV to using a monitor screen instead of goggles. That should satisfy the FAA requirements of LOS. I also adhere to the AMA rules by having a spotter and keeping the flying vehicle within LOS.

Steve,

I was hoping you would know more , since you are big into Multi's (and your business) , I looked (not hard though) to see if they were saying anything on multirotorforums but didn't find anything.

But didn't the FAA clarifications say that you could NOT use anything except corrective lens glasses to VLOS, in that case a monitor screen would be illegal,

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to stir the pot as I feel we should be allowed to fly what we want (within common sense)

and Steve, if they want you to get a pilots license just to take a video of a wedding or to video a huckfest that just blows.

I can look up from the screen and have VLOS. I just don't keep my eyes on it 100% of the time.

I just want to know how the FAA is going to close the lid of something that has already been opened and some many people have invested in. What are they gonna start sending cops to the local fields and arrest peple when they fly something FPV. Its all a bunch of BS in my opinion and I'm sorry for people like Sleepy that have tons of money invested in something to make a living with and not be able to use it anymore.

I was thinking the same thing.

AS it stands it crushes a business idea that I had for using a quad or bigger copter.
