Drones in Action: Your Guide to the Sky’s New Tools

Drones are transforming how the public, real estate professionals, and business owners engage with the world. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates all U.S. airspace, ensuring safe drone operations for everyone, from hobbyists to pros.

Commercial drone pilots, capturing stunning real estate visuals, inspecting properties, or boosting business marketing, need a Part 107 license, earned through a test on airspace, safety, and weather. Recreational flyers operate under the Recreational Exemption (49 USC 44809), requiring the Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST), keeping drones under 55 pounds, and flying below 400 feet in uncontrolled airspace. Both register drones over 0.55 pounds and follow safety rules, like maintaining visual line of sight.

In late 2024 and through May 2025, drone sightings surged nationwide, from event filming to deliveries. No need for concern—most are legal, supporting weddings, gender reveals, or business projects. Drones excel in mapping, 3D modeling (photogrammetry), land measurement, and search-and-rescue, benefiting industries and communities alike.

For professional drone services, www.GetdDoneFootage.com handles all regulations, insurance, and guarantees high-quality results, making it easy for real estate pros, businesses, and the public to access drone solutions.
