IS YOUR DRONE PILOT LEGIT? (PROFESSIONAL DRONE SERVICES DONE RIGHT)


Homefield Productions has two licensed drone pilots on our team

Have you or your business recently hired a video production company or content creator to produce new video marketing material? Does this video content promise the use of aerial or drone footage? If so, is their drone pilot legit? What I mean by legit, is FAA certified.


Nobody loves to follow the rules, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. So ever since we started providing professional drone services 8 years ago, we have made sure to stay FAA compliant. This not only protects us as pilots, but also our clients and their brands from any potential legal issues that could arise from using a non-certified drone operator.


To legally fly drones commercially, the operator must earn a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certifice from the FAA. A certified FAA done operator brings a ton of advantages to your production. To make it simple, we listed our favorite ones below!


Advantages of Hiring a Part 107 Certified Drone Operator

  • In general, a licensed pilot will provide safety, legal compliance, and a true understanding of air space regualtons and restrictions. They also have a knowledge of privacy laws to keep your brand on the right side of the law.

  • This understanding of the airspaces and operation laws protects you from hefty fines and other legal issues.

  • A certified pilot will know how to properly handle rough conditions, such as windy days, tight spaces, and complex flight paths.

  • Part 107 certification is almost always required to obtain drone liability insurance, which is important to keep your business protected from property damage or accidents.

  • Many airspaces are controlled and have flight restrictions that only certified pilots can obtain the necessary permits to unlock. This can be crucial to getting that dynamic drone footage your vidoe needs.


There are so many reasons to make sure that you hire a legit drone pilot, and we only listed a few of our favorites. At the end of the day, a certified operator will ensure safe, legal, and high quality aerial footage without putting your brand at risk.


It is more important than ever for businesses to be utilizing video in their marketing efforts. Drone footage not only catches the eye of intended audiences, but also adds a level or produciton value and legitimacy to your video content. If you or your business are in the need of some professional drone footage to take your marketing to the next level, don't hesitate to call Homefield!
