FAA RestrictionsNew Part 107 makes it easier but…
There are regulations:
1. Drones can now be flown commercially by anyone. FAA Part 107 provides for anyone passing a written
online test to be licensed for commercial operation.
2. While operators need to understand how to operate their drone as well as the regulations governing its
use, flight planning software included with the majority of drones automates the take-off, imagery
collection, and landing.
3. Esri provides a 60-day trial of Drone2Map so that users can see for themselves how easy the software
is to use.
