When I got into drone flying back in 2014 you grabbed a drone, charged it up, and went for a fly.

Then in 2016 I got hired to fly a drone for a movie I was working on. I had to get permits to fly, I had to get a license, I had to tag my drone my operator number.

In 2018 I rented out my drone to another production because I could not make the dates they needed me to fly. They destroyed my drone and my backup drone, I took the insurance money and bought a better drone. I have yet to fly it because there is much more paperwork involved to fly it.

As of a few years ago your done must broadcast your registration number. Mine is too old for that so I need a separate transponder module.
