FAA Commercial Drone Regulations:

FAA drone laws and regulations continue to evolve at a fast rate.  The commercial use of drones by private companies is starting to take hold across a wide variety of markets from the film and movie industry, real estate, inspections, video and photography and agriculture.

Can I fly a UAV or drone right now to make money?  You’re not allowed to fly a drone for profit in the United States without special clearance via a section 333 exemption from the FAA.  If you want to apply for a commercial exemption from the FAA, you should contact a professional who understands the process.  It does not cost much money to file and obtain a Section 333 exemption and the return on investment should be substantial.

There Are Great Benefits to Be Realized:  Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology continues to be one of the most innovative technology fields. Drones can perform tasks at a lower cost and with less human risk than comparable manned aircraft.   Congress recognized the potential wide-ranging benefits of UAS operations within the United States in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-95), which requires a plan to safely integrate civil UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS) by September 30, 2015. Congress recognized the potential wide-ranging benefits of UAS operations within the United States in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-95), which requires a plan to safely integrate civil UAS into the National Airspace System (NAS) by September 30, 2015.
