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.
