If a Remote Pilot is engaged in a for-profit operation, what regulation must they adhere to?

  1. Part 107

  2. Part 48

  3. Part 14

  4. Part 91

The correct answer is: Part 107

The correct regulation for a Remote Pilot engaged in for-profit operations is Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). This regulation specifically governs the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), which are defined as drones weighing less than 55 pounds. Part 107 establishes the operational framework for commercial drone activities, including requirements for pilot certification, operating limitations, and reporting of various incidents. Part 107 outlines essential topics such as the need for a Remote Pilot Certificate, the requirement to operate within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), restrictions on flying over people, and the necessity of staying below the 400-foot altitude limit unless otherwise authorized. Compliance with Part 107 is crucial for ensuring safety and legal operation in airspace while conducting for-profit drone services. Other parts mentioned, such as Part 48, pertains to the registration of unmanned aircraft, and Part 91 governs general aircraft operations rather than specifically addressing commercial drone use. Therefore, it is Part 107 that remote pilots must follow when conducting operations for compensation.
