Powell River - Virginia & Tennessee 4K
This trip is close to home and highlights one of the region's unsung rivers, the Powell (Virginia & Tennessee). This river has been recommended to us for quite some time by friends and locals. So, we decided to venture out and experience this surprisingly interesting waterway. Fish, oh yes! Calm, slow-moving waters, check. Campsites, yes. However, may require a little compromise and work. In short, this river is definitely worth a trip!

Below Doniphan, we were told the river changes dramatically and becomes primarily farmland with far fewer features compared to its upper sections. The beginning of this trip passes through sect...

    I hike, camp, float, and most of all photograph the Buffalo a lot. When I started to fly my drone at Steele Creek, it displayed a warning that I was in a restricted area. I subsequently found that drones are illegal in all National Parks. I'm wondering how you got around this for your drone footage

    • @AVAJourneys
      @AVAJourneys 2 місяці тому

      Great question! There are legal mandates, which stipulate that the operating base must not be located within park-restricted areas. This implies that operations must be conducted within a non-restricted (governed by the FAA) airspace, while the park service has complete dominion over the geographical area. One of the challenges is maintaining line of sight with the aircraft, as per Part 107 requirements, if the base of operations is outside the contiguous zone of the park. While some of our equipment has the required range capability, a COA from the FAA is necessary to operate out of line of sight, and the aircraft must be rated for that ability. Alternatively, the best course of action is to apply for a special use permit. Once obtained, this permit must be presented to officials or law enforcement upon request and must be kept with the Pilot in Command throughout the operation. We have certainly learned from past mistakes made some years ago, and now operate within Part 107 tolerances and other parameters, including liability considerations, as we are currently operating commercially. We have a few river projects planned in the future. However, we await the appropriate documentation and permissions before undertaking projects in certain river areas due to the lack of opportunities to operate outside protected areas to obtain the required shots. UA-cam projects are but a small portion of our work, but do require a level of diligence for sure. We know this is a lot of information, but hope it helps a bit. If you’d like, we do have the contact information to apply for a special use permit within the Ozark Scenic Riverways. Thanks for watching!
