Drone Regulation
In 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration released the first rules about commercial use of drones in the United States Airspace System. “Part 107” as it is known, established rules, regulations, and requirements for certification of pilots of “sUAS” or “Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems” aka “drones” for any commercial purposes. Drone pilots wishing to fly “for hire” now must be certificated under these rules and hold a current certificate as a “Remote Pilot.”
Insurance
Most liability insurance policies do not cover aircraft operations, including drones! The industry has been slow to react to the proliferation of drones in the past few years, and most operators may not realize that they are not covered while operating their aircraft. Until the general insurance industry rewrites its policies to handle this specific use, a specific policy tailored to drone operations is usually required to be covered for aircraft liability.
Drone Videography for Richmond and Virginia
Douglas Bischoff of Ceridwen Productions is one of the few licensed, insured, drone owner-operators in the Richmond, VA area. Doug was already an FAA-licensed private pilot, and an accomplished cinematographer, so adding aerial photography and videography to his skillset was a simple and fast way to provide our clients with high-quality aerial imagery.
