I encountered a "licensed" drone pilot yesterday at a photo shoot. I know this guy finally got licensed after many months of flying for business un-licensed.
He was clearly flying over people at about 30 feet shooting video while climbing straight up. Clearly he was breaking the law! I decided to check on his status since it's been 2 years since he was licensed. Apparently, the FAA site that lists who's licensed, doesn't list who completed the retesting. If this is true, there appears to be no way to check on pilots after the 2 year mark.
Any thoughts?
