Part 107 Waivers Part 107 Waivers and Airspace Authorizations
Antonelli Law provides services relating to the airspace, business, and data aspects of unmanned aircraft systems (drones). Not only was Antonelli Law one of the very first law firms in the
country to launch a drone law practice in 2014, but our clients were among the very first
to obtain Part 107 nighttime waivers. There is no airspace request too challenging for us. As long as the FAA is willing to consider your request, we can help you. This page is directed at UAS operators who wish to obtain FAA permission to fly through a Part 107 Waiver (CoW) and/or Airspace Authorization:
flights over people not in the flight crew
operating from a moving vehicle or aircraft
operating more than one UAS simultaneously
operating in certain airspace
Altering the operating limitations
Click here to return to the main UAS page. The FAA released its new Part 107 commercial drone regulation, effective August 29 2016. While the barrier to entry has been lowered, a number of commercial drone operations are not normally allowed under Part 107.
What is the Cost of a BLOS 107 Waiver (107.31)? The legal fee varies depending on your proposed operations. A ballpark estimate including:
The actual BLOS waiver request would be in the $10,000 to $15,000 range and could be much more depending, again, on your proposed operations. What is the Cost of a "Nighttime" 107 Waiver (107.29)? The legal fee varies between $500 and $1,500.
What is the Cost of a "Flights Over People" 107 Waiver (107.39)? The legal fee varies depending on your proposed operations, but a ballpark estimate is $2,500 to $5,000. Any
deviation from the following operating limitations of Part 107 must be
approved in advance by the FAA through a Part 107 waiver, also called a
Certificate of Waiver (CoW): •Unmanned aircraft must weigh less than 55 lbs. (25 kg).
•Visual line-of-sight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS. Alternatively, the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the visual observer.
•At all times the small unmanned aircraft must remain close enough to the remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS for those people to be capable of seeing the aircraft with vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses.
•Small unmanned aircraft may not operate over any persons not directly participating in the operation, not under a covered structure, and not inside a covered stationary vehicle.
•Daylight -only operations, or civil twilight (30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset, local time)with appropriate anti-collision lighting. •Must yield right of way to other aircraft.
•May use visual observer (VO) but not required.
•First-person view camera cannot satisfy “see-and-avoid” requirement but can be used as long as requirement is satisfied in other ways.
•Maximum ground speed of 100 mph (87 knots).
•Maximum altitude of 400 feet above ground level (AGL) or, if higher than 400 feet AGL, remain within 400 feet of a structure. •Minimum weather visibility of 3 miles from control station. •Operations in Class B, C, D and E airspace are allowed with the required ATC permission. •Operations in Class G airspace are allowed without ATC permission.
•No person may act as a remote pilot in command or VO for more than one unmanned aircraft operation at one time.
•No operations from a moving aircraft.
•No operations from a moving vehicle unless the operation is over a sparsely populated area.
•No careless or reckless operations.
•No carriage of hazardous materials.

Why Use an Attorney? Time, accuracy, relationship, fiduciary duty to the client.
We save you time and the work product will be done correctly. Dealing
with a complicated regulatory environment can be stressful and mistakes
cause delays. Non-attorneys jumping on the "drone bandwagon" seek your
business but do not owe you the fiduciary obligations that an attorney
does. For example, there are reports of non-attorney consultant companies who engaged in unethical practices doing Section 333 petitions. Not only would we not do that, but our professional ethics rules tell us as licensed professionals that lawyers owe clients duties of honesty, loyalty, and confidentiality. We cannot - and would not - tell your trade secrets to other clients. Non-attorney consultants may not have these legal, fiduciary obligations to you. In addition, you begin a relationship with experienced
attorneys you can turn to for a variety of business and aviation related
questions. What conditions of Part 107 can we obtain a Certificate of Waiver for?
For a free initial consultation about petitioning the FAA for Certificate of Waivers under Part 107, Section 333 (UAS over 55 pounds), or other questions use our simple contact form or contact Jeffrey Antonelli at Jeffrey@Antonelli-Law.com or call us at (312) 201-8310. Our passion for leading and learning about UAS is second to none.
