Operation and Certification

A person without a Part 107 remote pilot certificate can operate an sUAS commercially only under the direct supervision of a remote Pilot in Command (PIC).
The sole responsibility of watching the sUAS for hazards during operations lies with the Visual Observer.

Responsibilities of Remote Pilot-in-Command

It is the remote PIC's duty to inspect and ensure the operational safety of the sUAS.
The remote PIC is also responsible for determining the performance capabilities of the small unmanned aircraft.
Before every flight, the remote PIC must secure all objects carried on the sUAS.

Operating with a Buddy Box System

To operate a sUAS under the supervision of a certified remote PIC using a buddy box system, there must be two control stations for immediate takeover of flight operations.

sUAS Registration Regulations

A commercial sUAS can be registered online if its total weight, including fuel/battery, is less than 55 lbs.
Owners under 13 years of age are prohibited from registering a small unmanned aircraft.
If a sUAS is destroyed, sold, lost, or transferred, the online registration must be canceled.

Foreign Registration and Domestic Compliance

Foreign nationals must register their drones or UAS upon arriving in the U.S., regardless of previous registration in another country.
Drones bought abroad must be registered in the U.S. even if they remain registered in the foreign country.

Re-registration and Reporting Requirements

Commercial aircraft must be re-registered every 3 years at a fee of $5 per UAV.
In the event of operational accidents, injuries requiring overnight hospital stays must be reported to the FAA within 10 calendar days.
Definitions of serious accidents include loss of consciousness, lacerations requiring stitches, broken bones, or significant property damage exceeding $500.
