FAA Part 107

Certificated Remote Pilot

In order to fly your drone under the FAA's Small UAS Rule (Part 107), you must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. This certificate demonstrates that you understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.

Certificated Remote Pilots including Commercial Operators

Step 1: Learn the Rules

Step 2: Become an FAA-Certified Drone Pilot by Passing the Knowledge Test

Step 3: Register your Drone with the FAA

Public Safety and Government

Public Safety Agencies, such as Law Enforcement, are in the best position to deter, detect, and investigate unauthorized or unsafe UAS operations. While drones can serve as a useful tool, these agencies also have an important role in protecting the public from unsafe and unauthorized drone operations. This information will help law enforcement and public safety professionals understand safe drone operations and their authority.

Understanding Your Authority

Handling Sightings and Reports

Federal Aviation Regulations prohibit the unsafe or unauthorized operation of an aircraft, including drones. Unsafe operations may result in substantial civil penalties and possible action against an operator's FAA-issued certificate, or may be subject to criminal response by law enforcement in accordance with Federal, State and local laws or ordinances. As a law enforcement officer, you are often in the best position to deter, detect and investigate unsafe or unauthorized drone operations.

FAA Contacts for Law Enforcement

Special agents from the FAA's Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP) are your point of contact for federal, state, local, tribal, territorial and international law enforcement agencies. LEAP special agents can provide information on drone enforcement and registration matters. Providing a LEAP special agent with reports of suspected unauthorized UAS incidents in a timely manner increases the FAA's ability to take enforcement action when appropriate. (NOTE: You may contact any LEAP agent if your assigned agent is not available.)

For further information on contacting a LEAP agent email us at UAShelp@faa.gov or call us at 844-FLY-MY-UA.

FAA Weather

METAR and TAF

METARs (Meteorological Aerodrome Reports) and TAFs (Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts) are crucial weather reports provided by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to ensure the safety and efficiency of aviation operations.

METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report):

METARs are routine weather reports issued by meteorological stations at airports around the world.

They contain essential meteorological data such as temperature, dew point, wind direction and speed, visibility, cloud cover, and present weather conditions.

METARs are typically issued hourly and are vital for pilots and air traffic controllers to assess current weather conditions at specific airports.

TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast):

TAFs are weather forecasts specifically tailored for aviation purposes, focusing on conditions within a 5-nautical-mile radius of an airport.

These forecasts provide detailed information about expected weather conditions, including wind direction and speed, visibility, cloud cover, and any significant weather phenomena expected to occur within a specified time frame (usually 24 to 30 hours).

TAFs help pilots and aviation professionals plan flights and make informed decisions regarding departure times, routes, and potential weather-related hazards.
