My interpretation is a commercial rating is required.


I find it interesting that you relied on a government employee to protect you from the government!

I'm sorry John, but your interpretation is wrong. There is no variance in the way the FSDOs look at aerial photography. The FAA chief counsel is on record explaining it and unlike many rules subject to individual interpretation, the FAA has been consistent on this one.
