FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in North Carolina require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network surveyors are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
North Carolina regulates drone operations through HB 128 (2014), which requires commercial drone operators to hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate AND obtain a commercial drone operator permit from the NCDOT Aviation Division, renewed annually. The law prohibits drone surveillance of a person or private property without consent, restricts flights over military installations and critical infrastructure, and bans interference with law enforcement and wildfire operations. Local governments may regulate takeoff and landing on public property. Military restricted airspace around Fort Liberty, Camp Lejeune, MCAS Cherry Point, Seymour Johnson AFB, and USCG Elizabeth City is federally enforced and supersedes state regulations. Charlotte requires a permit for drone operations in city parks, and Raleigh prohibits drone takeoff and landing in city parks without a permit.
