When it comes to hiring a drone operator for your business needs, it’s crucial to ensure that they have a Part 107 license. This license, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is required for any business that wants to use drones for commercial purposes. This includes not only traditional business projects, but also personal projects where money is made from the use of a drone.
Using a drone operator without a Part 107 license can put your business at risk. Not only are they operating illegally, but they may also not be following proper safety protocols. A licensed operator is required to pass a aeronautical knowledge test, and must abide by FAA regulations regarding flying drones, including flying only during daylight and in visual line-of-sight, flying below 400 feet, and not flying near other aircraft or over people.
In addition, a Part 107 licensed operator is held to a higher standard of safety and professionalism. They are required to have liability insurance, and are held accountable for any accidents or incidents that may occur during a flight. Hiring a licensed operator can provide peace of mind, knowing that your project is in compliant with federal regulations and that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct safe and successful flights.
Furthermore, a Part 107 licensed operator can open up new opportunities for your business. Many government agencies, such as the Department of Interior and the National Parks Service, require that drone operators have a Part 107 license for any projects on their lands. Similarly, many industries such as construction, real estate, and agriculture, require a Part 107 licensed operator for inspections or surveys.
