According to the FAA use of a drone or UAV for commercial purposes can only be done with a commercial pilots license and not over populated areas and without a permit. The real problem is the FAA does not have an enforcement division.
Seahawk is the real expert on the legal use of the things. I know many of our customers demand proof of our 5 million dollar insurance policy before they will sign the agreement for us to shoot photos. How in the world can we get a policy to cover a UAV for that. In 68 years of being in the business we have never had any sort of off airport landing or any emergency. We have a solid long record of safety.
One client had us fly a tree covered island in the Houston shipping channel. There was nothing on the island but trees, nothing. They insisted we get a 10 million dollar rider to fly the project. We were over that island for less then one minute. The client paid the extra cost for the extra insurance.
Good Friday morning folks.
