A conversation going on at UAV Legal News facebook page if 107 pilots can fly under 101 rules. You would think it would be simple and I guess it is if you can fly under 101 rules (also called 336). You must abide by all 5 of those stipulations (eCFR — Code of Federal Regulations), or you must be flying under 107 rules.
Here is the official [email protected] reply to that question.
"Sir, Here is the clarification between 101 and 107"
"Each flight has to be conducted under one or the other (can’t start out as a 101 and then say midflight that you are now 107). If he is operating under 101, he must meet every part of 101, otherwise the operation defaults to 107."
"Thank you for contacting the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Support Center."
