FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Arizona require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network operators are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Arizona SB 1449 (2016) was the first state law regulating drone use, prohibiting drone operations that interfere with law enforcement, emergency responders, or wildfire suppression efforts. The law prohibits drone flights within 3 miles of a wildfire or prescribed burn and makes violation a class 1 misdemeanor. ARS Title 13 Chapter 29 Article 3 restricts drone surveillance of private property and weaponization of drones. Commercial operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Arizona does not require a separate state drone license, but operators must comply with FAA Part 107 rules and any local ordinances. The Arizona Department of Public Safety maintains guidelines for drone operations near critical infrastructure including power plants, dams, and military installations.
