Last year I acquired a quadcopter drone (SUAS)and have subsequently, after training, have been certified by the FAA as a SUAS Remote Pilot. Is anyone aware of restrictions (other than usual - distance from airport, altitude, etc.) imposed by the governments of both sides of island? If unaware, who would you suggest I contact? Thanks.

flying a drone over Orient might be frowned upon

There is someone who has used a drone over the harbor in Phillipsburg who posts on TTOL sometimes. I have seen the drone video. However I can't remember his TTOL user name. I think he is a Charter Sail Boat Captain who travels the Islands. I want to say his name is Rick also, but just not sure.
Anyone know who I am talking about? My guess is he knows some of the rules. Maybe you can contact the airport to see if there are other restrictions you should know about, other than common courtesy.

His name is Rick Moore and he has a YouTube channel
I can't recall his username here.

I had the Rick part correct. You would think that would be easy for me! LOL

A drone hovered over the Club O beach for several minutes while we were there in December. I'm for giving the security folk access to a shotgun.

I am well aware of the sensibilities in regards to Orient, and will respect the members privacy.I am aware of Rick Moore and subscribe to his video blogs. He did test fly a drone at Kim Sha Beach and in Simpson Lagoon - apparently too close to the Airport according to U.S. FAA standards (although he may have received Tower permission). I'll attempt to contact him.
