What is an sUAS (aka: Aerial Drone)
According to the FAA, a small Unmanned Aerial System (AKA: drone, quadcopter, or UAV / Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is any unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds, except for those used solely for recreation or hobby purposes.
Will the FAA fine me for operating a drone without a Part 107 sUAS License?
Yes, fines are possible, but it would depend on whether you’re flying for fun or business.
If you’re flying “recreationally” where you will not be using it in any way as a tool for a business, you do not need a Part 107 pilot certificate. However, if you’re flying a drone for any kind of commercial or business activity, a current FAA certificate is required.
Any drone operation used to advance a business or supplement its regular activities is considered commercial under current FAA regulations. This includes real estate aerial photography, using drone imagery for business promotion, capturing construction progress, or conducting agricultural analysis. Operating a drone commercially without proper certification can result in significant penalties. The FAA may impose fines of up to $35,188 per violation for unauthorized commercial drone operations. Additionally, the FAA retains the authority to penalize both companies and individuals for past infractions related to unlicensed commercial drone flights.
How long does quadcopter battery generally last?
Most of ours are rated in the 30 to 50 minute range. Actual flight time is normally lower to maintain a reasonable safety margin. Batteries are quick and easy to swap out and we carry enough capacity for continuous all-day operations.
When is a sUAS required to be registered with the FAA?
Anytime it is used for commercial use under Part 107 or used solely for hobby or recreation and weighs over .55 pounds.
How are images and video delivered?
By various simple options from onsite direct transfer to high speed secure cloud drives and everything in between. In addition, we use specialty delivery services like next day, signature required, and encryption protection. Basic Real Estate Drone Photography images are normally delivered via cloud upload the next business day by noon. Commercial Photography and specialized video production are estimated individually.
