If you hire a drone for a paid job in the United States, that is a commercial operation. The FAA’s Part 107 rules are the baseline for that work. “Certified” here means the remote pilot holds an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate — not that a hobby flyer bought a camera drone.

Dronesboro is an FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone operator, licensed and insured, based in Jonesboro, Arkansas. This page is a client-facing explanation, not legal advice.

What Part 107 covers (in plain language)

Part 107 is the set of FAA regulations for small unmanned aircraft used in commercial operations. A remote pilot who has passed the knowledge test and holds a current certificate is allowed to fly those jobs under the rule’s operating limits (airspace, visual line of sight, aircraft weight, and similar requirements). Waivers exist for some limits; they are not assumed on every flight.

For you as the client, the practical difference is this: a Part 107 pilot is operating a legal commercial flight, not doing you a favor with a recreational aircraft.

What it does not mean

  • It does not mean Dronesboro is an insurance adjuster, public adjuster, or claims advocate. We capture imagery, documentation, and mapping. We do not adjust, negotiate, or advocate insurance claims.
  • It does not replace other licenses your project may need (surveying, engineering, real-estate brokerage). We fly and deliver files.
  • It does not guarantee we can fly every site on every day. Weather, airspace, and site access still govern the schedule.

Why clients in Jonesboro ask

Northeast Arkansas jobsites, listings, and managed properties still need a legal operator. Asking whether the pilot is Part 107 certified is a reasonable first filter — the same way you would ask whether a contractor is licensed for the work they bid. Dronesboro’s answer is yes. Details of a specific flight (airspace, timing, deliverables) get confirmed when you request a quote.
