[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 124633, member: 17032"] Hey Patrick. My understanding of the US rules (and very similar in most other countries) is . . . Flying PFV with goggles of any kind - must have a spotter, a 2nd person that can keep the drone in VLOS, and watch for any approaching issues, manned aircraft, people of animals etc on the ground, vehicles, anything a pilot must watch out for directly while flying. They must be in earshot of the pilot, right with them. It doesn't matter if you get the Avata being over 250g with your pilot registration in place . . . nor is it necessary with your pilot registration to stick to a M3P sub 250g. If you go with the M3P you don't really require the registration label, but set it up with goggles to fly FPV, you will still need to follow the spotter rule. The Avata would REALLY give you some great RE work flexibility, a big one is extra safety with the ducted props (they are also easy to replace parts such as a duct if damaged), and the controller signal penetration is apparently really excellent for flying close proximity to buildings, internal rooms etc. With regards to Key West, you'll have to look into your regions zone unlocking to see if you can bypass any DJI flight restrictions (not able to take off etc), and really try and stick to the letter of the law with any permanent 'firm' NFZs. To stick to the FAA rules and fly real estate jobs, you will probably have to get your part 107 to fly commercially, and this should give you all the info you need to work out how to / what parts of airspace you can unlock.
