🇺🇸 FAA Part 107 Pilot Certification

The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is the gold standard for commercial drone operators. It's not optional—it's the law.

To earn this certification, I passed a rigorous FAA knowledge exam covering:

  • Airspace classification and operating requirements
  • Aviation weather sources and effects
  • Drone performance and limitations
  • Emergency procedures
  • Crew resource management
  • Radio communication procedures
  • Physiological factors affecting pilot performance
  • Aeronautical decision-making and judgment
  • Airport operations
  • Maintenance and pre-flight inspection procedures

General Liability Insurance

I carry comprehensive general liability insurance for your protection. This covers:

Property Damage

If my drone accidentally damages your roof, siding, or other property

Bodily Injury

If someone is injured during the inspection (rare with drones)

Legal Defense

If a claim is filed, insurance covers legal costs

Completed Operations

Coverage extends beyond the inspection date

Policy Type:  Commercial General Liability
Coverage Limit:  $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate

Why Insurance Matters

Even with the safest pilot, accidents can happen. Battery failures. Bird strikes. Unexpected wind gusts. My insurance ensures that if the unthinkable happens, you're not left holding the bill.

Proof of insurance is available upon request before any inspection.

Texas Business Registration

Austin Aerial Property Assessments is a legally registered business in the State of Texas.

Business Structure:  LLC
Registered Name:  Aerial Property Assessments
Texas Tax ID:  Available upon request

I pay taxes, carry insurance, and operate as a legitimate local business—not a fly-by-night operator.

Ongoing Compliance

The drone industry evolves fast. I stay current through:

  • Annual FAA recurrent training – Required to keep Part 107 active
  • Monthly industry updates – New regulations, technology, best practices
  • Insurance reviews – Annual policy updates to ensure adequate coverage
  • Local airspace monitoring – Staying aware of TFRs, stadium restrictions, and airport changes

Site survey

Identify obstacles, power lines, people, pets
