Commercial Drone UseaI own a number of rental properties and plan to use a drone I purchased a couple months ago to help inspect my properties for maintenance issues. Is this commercial use?Yes. The FAA views any drone operation that supports the functions of your business as a non-recreational use. You may fly a drone for business purposes if you meet one of the following three criteria:
Follow the Requirements in the Part 107 Rule
Obtain a Section 333 Grant of Exemption
You can also hire someone who has met the federal requirements to operate a drone for business purposes.

How long does the process take?Prior to the publication of the Part 107 rule (which provides rules of commercial drone operation) the FAA was receiving large numbers of Section 333 petitions and petitioners were experiencing long delays. The Section 333 petition route is still an option for those who want to fly their drone for business purposes. With the new Part 107 rule, it is likely that the wait time for Section 333 waivers will decrease.

Thankfully, the Part 107 rule provides an alternate method for someone with no formal aviation background to become qualified to fly drones for business purposes.

It would be a good idea for you to have a contract with the drone operator with language requiring that the operator indemnify you if you are sued as a result of the drone operation.

An individual who would like to start using their drone for commercial purposes must complete a new registration under non-modeler and provide specific aircraft information (i.e. manufacturer name, model number and serial number, if applicable. You will then need to cancel your recreational registration.

Do I have to register them all?If you fly your drones only for recreational purposes (e.g. as model aircraft), then you can obtain just one registration number for all of your drones. If you fly your drones for any other purposes, then you must register each individual drone and mark each drone with its unique registration number.

Can I fly my drone for recreational purposes under my commercial registration?If you registered your drone for non-recreational use, you can still operate if for recreational purposes under your non-recreational registration. In short, if you registered your drone for recreational use, then that registration covers only recreational use. If you registered your drone for non-recreational use, then that registration covers both recreational and non-recreational use. It is important to note that simply registering your drone for commercial use does not permit you to operate it for commercial use.

To use your drone as part of your business, you meet the requirements of 14 CFR 107, which was published by the FAA on June 21, 2016. Alternatively, an operator may obtain a “section 333” exemption which would allow you to use your drone for business purposes.

If you decide you want to fly in Class B through E airspace, or that you want to fly your drone in a manner that does not comply with Small UAS rule, then you will need to request additional permission and/or waivers.
