Guide To Small Unmanned Aircraft Regulations (FAA Part 107)
FAA Part 107 Guidelines
On June 21, 2016 the FAA published the final version of its small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) regulations commonly referred to as Part 107. These rules, set to take effect on August 29, 2016, clearly define how to operate your drone legally for commercial purposes in the United States.
No longer will you have to obtain a Section 333 exemption for commercial activities which have previously taken months for the FAA to approve. Now most commercial operations will comfortably fit within the framework of Part 107, which has removed many of the barriers by establishing a new certified Remote Pilot in Command (R-PIC) position and a remote pilot certification process. Anyone operating a UAV/UAS device must hold either a remote pilot airman certificate with a small UAS rating or be under the direct supervision of someone who does.
