MVP Droneology indoor Stained-Glass window inspections: Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne, Indiana- Indoor flights are documenting ornate, Lutheran churches, stained-glass windows, and ecclesiastical art. Hourly, aviation drone insurance covers Indoor Flights at an additional cost. Aviation Drone Insurance companies would like to know why I am flying a drone indoors. I tell them, "No, its not for "Indoor racing league" competition. FAA also requires a Visual Observer to protect surrounding visitors and second watchful eyes while the Pilot In Command watches the Remote Controller and the drone flight path. This shoot included Jeremy Klopfenstein as Videographer/Photographer and Asher Puls as security and Visual Observer. It takes a skilled PIC to fly indoors. The FAA app, "B4U Fly" still watches the area you are flying in and if there are any airport or helipads in the area. There have been times when I have had to complete a "Local Ordinance" report with the FWPD and LAANC to request permission to fly in that "air-space". It is tricky and should be left to an experienced sUAS drone pilot.
