​What is the Part 107 drone license?

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
The drone is the same as a driving car or any other vehicle, for driving a car there is a need for a license which ensures that you are well aware of the rules of driving and you know how to drive safely. Similarly, in the case of drones, there is a license which is called a 107 drone license which allows you to fly a drone commercially and you can use it for business purposes.
If you are a blogger you can use it for capturing eye-catching places and show the world beautiful places.

 
But to get a license you have to pass a test which is called a 107 test. This allows you to fly your drone under 55 pounds (ca. 25 kg) weights according to some rules like you can't fly it at night, foggy conditions, etc.


 
Drone manufacture says that delivery can be possible under 107 part because these rules are very strict for the delivery business, but they believe that drone delivery can be possible by 135 part
However, part 107 offers delivery

But for deliveries some conditions offer difficulties in drone delivery; these are interstate delivery, mail distribution, and foreign entities.
 
Because at a local level you can deliver the product but at a higher level from out of the state or country, risk level, the security level is also increased, this offers a hurdle in instant delivery.


But in COVID-19 days drone delivery can produce positive impacts, and they can deliver test aids, body kits.

 
How drone delivery is possible if 107 is certified?
 
There are some restrictions in 107 parts if they can resolve then it would be a great business. By license 107 and your drone, you can start your own business of delivery with revolution ideas. You can work for a company or deliver their product. And the most important thing you can start your own business and take orders from your customers and deliver them to their home.


 
But it can only be done at the interstate level. Therefore, companies looked towards 135 and certify their crafts as air carriers. And they transfer products as an air carrier but does it meet the conditions of 107 parts? No, as far as you are in the state conditions are meeting, when your drone crosses the state line then you must have part 135 certified.


 
Conditions which should be for delivery with part 107:


Travel should be intrastate. For example, delivery should be within the city producer and consumer.
It cannot fly beyond visual line of sight.
It cannot fly over people due to some security and privacy reasons it can't be fly over the people and some sensitive places where security risk is high.
Can't fly at night.
Can take too much weight and supplies

 
Operating a drone delivery without a waiver is possible?
 
 
 
 
Yes, as long as you are following rules and regulations, staying in a visual line of sight, the flight path should be programmed so it can reduce the damage risk like people's life, etc. And drone pilots operating under FAA's part 107 regulations would be allowed to offer drone delivery.


 
 Can operating a drone delivery business with the waiver is easier:

​
 
Yes, drone delivery is easier if you are following BVLOS(beyond visual line of sight) waiver and a traversing people waiver, If you use both wavier than it would be great for your company and business because it will follow rules and regulations and you can serve as a larger company and people trust on you will also increase.
