Since most companies don’t have the time, man power or know how to deal with the FAA regulations and the testing required to stay on the right side of the law, it’s a smart choice to hire a professional certified & insured UAS drone pilot. Once you have made the decision to hire a professional licensed UAV drone pilot, review their work and always ask to see their license and proof of insurance. Over 1 million drones have been registered with the FAA but to date, only 100,000 pilots have received certificates from the FAA since the small drone rule went into effect in August of 2016. This means that only 10% of the drones out there are actually able to fly for commercial use.
