Frequently asked questions

Do I need an FAA Part 107 certificate?
For most commercial drone work in the US, yes. It is a written exam, it costs about $175, and it is the single clearest qualification you can add to an application in this field.
Are any drone jobs actually remote?
The flying is not, but the data work is. Photogrammetry, orthomosaic mapping, GIS analysis and inspection review are all done from a desk, and those roles are often remote.
Which industries hire drone operators?
Agriculture, surveying and construction, energy and utility inspection, real estate, film and television, public safety, and defence.
What does drone work pay?
Where the employer published a figure you will see it on the card. UAV operations and aerial data roles commonly run $55k to $110k, with test-pilot and defence work higher.
