Local Airspace & Regulations in Brigham City, UT
FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Utah require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network surveyors are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Utah enacted SB 167 (2019), establishing state authority over UAS operations and preempting local municipalities from regulating drone flight paths, airspace, or pilot requirements. SB 210 (2021) added privacy protections and restrictions on drone surveillance of private property. Utah has significant restricted military airspace including Hill Air Force Base (home to F-35 and F-16 fighter wings and the Ogden Air Logistics Center), Dugway Proving Ground, and Utah Test and Training Range. The state also has extensive National Park and National Monument no-drone zones, including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Commercial operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Utah does not require a separate state drone license. Operators flying near military installations, national parks, tribal lands, or ski areas must coordinate with the controlling agency. Utah mountain terrain and winter weather create significant operational challenges, with density altitude affecting performance at elevations above 5,000 feet and winter storms limiting flying windows.
Local Ordinances
Brigham City follows FAA Part 107 regulations. Under Utah state law (SB 167, 2019), only the state may regulate drone flight paths. Hill Air Force Base to the east has significant military airspace restrictions. The ATK/Orbital rocket motor test facility at Promontory Point creates additional restricted areas. The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge to the west has wildlife protection considerations.
