QUESTIONS ABOUT DRONE FLYING
Q: What if my flying location is close to an airport?
A: This will be handled on a case-by-case basis. We'll probably be able to fly, but we may need to get permission from the FAA.
Q: What if there is bad weather?
A: We might need to delay our flights in inclement weather [excessive heat, rain, snow, etc]. If rain looks like it'll go away soon, we'll wait it out. Aloha Arizona Photography always reserves the right to delay a flight for any reason.
