What Is a Part 107 Certified Drone Pilot—and Why It Matters?


ree

At Flying High In Florida, we don’t just fly drones—we elevate standards.

Whether we're capturing jaw-dropping aerial shots of luxury listings, surveying rooftops after a storm, or diving deep with Claw-dia the Hydro Hero, our team operates with skill, precision, and above all—professional certification.

But what does that really mean?


What Is a Part 107 Certified Drone Pilot?

The term “Part 107” refers to a specific set of FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) rules that govern commercial drone operations in the United States. A Part 107 Certified Drone Pilot is someone who has passed the FAA’s Aeronautical Knowledge Test and earned official authorization to fly drones for business or commercial purposes.

In short? We’re licensed, legal, and trained to fly smart—and safe.


Why It Matters to You

When you hire Flying High In Florida, you're not just getting stunning footage or precision mapping—you’re getting peace of mind. Here’s why that matters:

✅ Legal Operations

Uncertified pilots can unknowingly (or worse, carelessly) violate federal airspace laws. That could lead to legal trouble, fines, or even the cancellation of your project. With us, you're in FAA-compliant hands from takeoff to touchdown.

✅ Insurance Coverage

Most drone insurance providers only cover Part 107-certified pilots. That means our flights—and your property—are protected every step of the way.

✅ Safety First, Always

We’re trained in national airspace regulations, weather patterns, emergency procedures, and flight restrictions. Translation: we know when, where, and how to fly without putting people, property, or pets at risk (even Zoey approves).

✅ Professional Quality

Our certification isn’t just a fancy badge—it’s proof of our commitment to professional excellence. We don’t just fly for fun (though we do have fun)—we fly with purpose, preparation, and a keen eye for detail.


What Does It Take to Become Part 107 Certified?

To earn FAA Part 107 certification, drone pilots must:

  • Be at least 16 years old

  • Pass a comprehensive FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test

  • Undergo TSA security vetting

  • Know how to read sectional charts and weather reports (yep, it's a whole thing)

  • Stay current with re-certification requirements


The Bottom Line

When you're hiring a drone pilot, certification is non-negotiable. It’s the difference between a hobbyist and a pro… between shaky footage and cinematic magic… between a liability and a licensed expert.

At Flying High In Florida, we’re proud to be fully FAA-certified, fully insured, and fully ready to take your project to new heights—legally, safely, and spectacularly.
