Businesses with the use of drones aren't legal in the United States but the government now makes an exception if you get your drone license under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) new rules.
August 29 was the first day of drone license applications. You need to only pay a small fee and pass a multiple-choice test.
That's good news to photographer and /videographers who uses drones as after getting the license, they can finally sell their drone photos/videos. Without a license (approval from the FAA), you could get fined $1,100 or more for operating an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for business purposes.
The drone license is called a Remote Pilot Certificate. With the said license, you can legally fly your drones with the intention of making a profit but you still have to follow a few restrictions. If you're flying your drone as a hobby, you won't need the certificate but you still need to register a drone if it weighs over 0.55lb.
Here are the steps on how to get the license with the intention of using it for business (e.g. Photography and video, delivery and surveillance/mapping):
Even if you acquire the license with a registered drone, there are still flying restrictions.
You can't fly or use it:
You can get a 107 waiver to fly without these restrictions but you need to get that waiver months in advance.
You are also required to do pre-flight checks and to immediately report any incident/accidents that caused harm to people or did at least $500 worth of damage to a property.
