At the Broker Breakfast this week, Offshore Pix gave a presentation on Commercial Drone usage. Every Realtor thinking about using drones for their business needs to know these few points:
Commercial Pilots MUST have:
- FAA 333 Exemption/Certificate of Authorization Waiver
- FAA Pilot License
- FAA Registered Aircraft
- Insurance - Physical Damage/Personal Injury
Commercial Rules of Engagement:
- Fly below 200 feet in altitude
- Visual line of sight / 2 person crew
- No flights over people or property without owner authorization
- No flights within 5 miles of an airport
- No flights within Prohibited, Restricted, or Special Flight Rules Areas
Emerald Coast Airspace
The vast majority of our area is considered a Special Flight Rules Area and is currently not eligible for Commercial Drone usage. However, new rules will be put in place this Summer to open up usage.
