Are you allowed to fly over traffic or people as a part 107 drone pilot?
Under FAA Part 107 regulations, flying a drone over people or moving vehicles is generally restricted unless specific conditions are met. Here's a breakdown:
- Flying Over People:
- You can fly over people only if your drone meets the requirements of one of the four operational categories defined by the FAA. These categories are based on the weight of the drone and its safety features, such as no exposed rotating parts that could cause injury.
- If your drone doesn't meet these requirements, you would need a waiver to operate over people.
- Flying Over Moving Vehicles:
- Flying over moving vehicles is also restricted unless the operation is part of a closed or restricted-access site where everyone involved is aware of the drone activity.
- For operations over public roads or traffic, a waiver is typically required.
It's essential to ensure compliance with these rules to avoid penalties and ensure safety. If you're unsure about your specific drone's category or need help applying for a waiver, let me know!
