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
• UAS Traffic Management (UTM)
• 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)
