Many drone operations can be conducted under the Small UAS Rule (14 CFR part 107), or as a recreational flight within the guidelines of a modeler community-based organization. However, more complex operations may need additional certification or approval. Some examples include:
- Aircraft Certification
- Operational Approvals for Emergency Situations
- Dispensing Chemicals and Agricultural Products (Part 137)
- Package Delivery by Drone
- Upper Class E Traffic Management
- Urban Air Mobility and Advanced Air Mobility
- Section 44807 Exemptions (including drones over 55 pounds)
- Application and Instructions for Completing Certificate of Waiver or Authorization Application, FAA Form 7711-2 (BVLOS drone operations)
