FAA Part 107 certification is a requirement for commercial drone operators in the United States. It ensures pilots have the knowledge and skills to fly drones safely, legally, and within regulated airspace.

Using FAA-certified pilots ensures all drone operations comply with federal regulations. This reduces liability risks, prevents fines, and guarantees safe, legal, and professional service.
Watch the video from National Association of REALTORS below to learn more about the importance of working with FAA-certified pilots.

Hiring unlicensed drone operators can lead to legal issues, including fines, liability for accidents, and the invalidation of insurance coverage. Certified pilots ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.

You can request the pilot’s FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate as proof of their certification. Certified pilots are also registered with the FAA, and you can confirm their compliance by asking for their FAA registration number or checking with the FAA’s database (link).

Yes, all our flights are fully insured, providing an additional layer of safety and security for every project.

No, certain areas are restricted due to safety regulations, such as near airports, military bases, or other controlled airspaces. As FAA-certified pilots, we ensure all flights are compliant and legal.

For locations near airports or restricted zones, we can often obtain immediate flight permission. In some cases, specific areas require FAA approval, which may take up to 90 days. We handle all permissions to ensure safe and legal operations.

Our drones comply with FAA regulations, allowing flights up to 400 feet above ground level. If flying near a building, we may fly up to 400 feet above the structure’s tallest point, provided it meets safety requirements and airspace regulations.

Yes, as FAA-certified pilots, we can fly drones at night if required. Our drones are equipped with anti-collision lights, and we follow all FAA regulations to ensure safe and legal nighttime operations.

Drone flights require low wind, and dry conditions for optimal safety and quality. Flights are not conducted during rain, snow, or strong winds, as these conditions can affect drone stability and performance. We closely monitor forecasts to ensure safe operations.

You have the freedom to use all the photos and media we create for any marketing materials related to your listing and for promoting yourself as an Agent or Broker. Additionally, your parent company can use these images solely for marketing the specific property photographed. Please remember that the ownership of these images remains with the Photographer, and the license is granted to you and your parent company only, not to any third party.

Using these images for any third-party purposes, such as architects, builders, stagers, designers, sellers, or buyers, is not allowed unless you have received written approval from the photographer.
