Flying drones for inspections, film, mapping & more
Commercial drone pilots operate unmanned aircraft for industries like agriculture, construction, film, real estate, search & rescue, and infrastructure inspections. They plan flights, capture aerial data, and ensure safe operations under FAA Part 107 regulations.
You check weather and airspace restrictions, calibrate your drone's sensors, fly a roof inspection for a solar company, shoot aerial footage for a real estate listing, then review and deliver the data. Every day is a new location and mission.
