Small UAS Rule (Part 107)

The Small UAS Rule (Part 107) is a set of FAA regulations that govern the commercial use of small drones (unmanned aircraft systems) weighing less than 55 pounds. It requires drone pilots to obtain a remote pilot certificate, follow rules for safe operation, fly below 400 feet, maintain visual line-of-sight, and avoid flying near people or airports. These rules help ensure safety for other airspace users and people on the ground, making commercial drone activities more structured and standardized while allowing lawful operation for business purposes.
