Re: FAA is grounding an aerial company in Minnesota
I'm not sure what is interesting about this. It is currently illegal to fly unmanned aircraft for commercial purposes in the USA and Canada without a special flight operations certificate.

If they had an SFOC they would not have any trouble.

....and that's pretty much "it" in a nutshell.

I can understand how people who take the time and trouble to apply for an SFOC in order to run their commercial business would take offence to fly-by-night operators that try to run their AP business under the radar.

Re: FAA is grounding an aerial company in Minnesota
Whether it's piloted or UAV, you need a certificate, for which you apply and pay fees, to use your aircraft for commercial purposes, photographic or otherwise. End of story.
