🚁 What is Part 107?

The Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 107 certification is a requirement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for anyone looking to fly drones commercially in the United States. This includes activities like aerial photography, real estate videos, infrastructure inspections, and even flying drones for agricultural purposes.

📋 When Do You Need Part 107?

You’ll need the Part 107 certification if:

Your drone weighs between LESS THAN 55 lbs.
You plan to fly drones for any commercial or professional purpose. This includes being compensated non-monetary or if you plan to post on social media where monetization can occur.
You are providing drone services or footage for any form of compensation.
Recreational flying under Part 101 is excluded from this, but even hobbyists are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rules!

To obtain your Part 107 certification, you must:

Be at least 16 years old (you may sit for the exam at age 14).
Be able to read, write, and speak English.
Be in a physical and mental condition to safely fly a drone.
