As of 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) made it a requirement for drone operators to pass an Unmanned Aircraft Safety (UAS) aeronautical test to fly drones commercially. This is referred to as Part 107. Professional unmanned aviation covers a broad spectrum of uses for drones weighing less than 55 pounds, and Unmanned Safety Institute is the leading provider of safety education and training for UAS safety according to Part 107. We focus solely on UAS safety, and equip individuals, academic institutions, industry partners, and flight service companies to be FAA Part 107 compliant in flight. In this blog, we’ll provide a quick guide to Part 107’s small unmanned aircraft regulations.

More and more businesses, as well as individuals, are investing in drones and unmanned flight. It has become a modern means of making an income, as well as a fun recreational activity. However, a lot of the rules and regulations associated with drone flight safely are somewhat unclear and bring up a great deal of questions. Unmanned Safety Institute is the world’s leader in drone safety. We strive to equip our students and institutions to fly according to FAA flight standards. In this blog, we’ll address the most common questions regarding flying drones safely.

Unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, have become more and more popular in recent years as a means of business and fun. Unmanned Safety Institute is the leader in training and certification for remote pilots operating unmanned aircraft systems all over the world. The Federal Aviation Administration has made it acceptable for anyone who passes a written exam to fly heavy machinery at high speeds. This has the potential to be a major threat to public safety. A crashing 55 lb drone that is moving at 50 mph has the same amount of force as two grand pianos falling out of the sky! If you are a drone enthusiast or are pursuing your drone flight certification for business reasons, remember these safety precautions for a safe and enjoyable time flying your drone.
