Aerial Imaging Services Available in Lewisburg, TN
Lewisburg anchors the southern edge of the Nashville MSA as an industrial exurb in Marshall County, drawing manufacturing and distribution development along with workforce residential construction. Its completely uncontrolled airspace with no LAANC requirements simplifies commercial drone operations, while industrial park expansion and facility buildout generate steady demand for roof inspections, site data collection projects, and construction monitoring.
Aerial Imaging for Lewisburg's Construction Market
Lewisburg is a small industrial exurb in Marshall County, positioned at the southern edge of the Nashville MSA approximately 50 miles south of downtown Nashville. The construction market is driven by industrial park expansion, manufacturing facility buildout, and residential development serving the local workforce. Lewisburg Industrial Park and other industrial sites on the south and west sides of the city attract light manufacturing, automotive supply, and distribution tenants, generating demand for site data collection projects, roof inspections, and construction monitoring. Residential construction includes single-family subdivisions and workforce housing serving employees of local manufacturers. Commercial development is concentrated along the Hwy 31A and Hwy 50 corridors, with local-serving retail, restaurants, and medical office space. Infrastructure projects include water and sewer upgrades for industrial park expansion, road improvements connecting industrial sites to Hwy 31A, and Tennessee Department of Transportation corridor planning for the Hwy 50 route connecting Lewisburg to Columbia and I-65.

FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Tennessee require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network operators are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Tennessee regulates drone operations through six state statutes: SB 2106 (2016) prohibits flying within 250 feet of critical infrastructure for surveillance, HB 153 (2015) bans drone image capture over open-air events and fireworks, SB 1892 (2014) makes intentional surveillance of individuals or property a Class C misdemeanor, SB 1777 (2014) prohibits hunting/fishing surveillance, SB 796 (2013) requires law enforcement to obtain a search warrant for drone surveillance, and HB 2376 (2016) clarifies educational use permissions. Commercial drone operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and obtain LAANC authorization for controlled airspace. Tennessee does not require a separate state drone license. Nashville/Davidson County prohibits drone operations in county parks except in designated flying areas (Ordinance 13.24.400). Military restricted airspace around Fort Campbell, NSA Mid-South, McGhee Tyson ANG Base, Arnold AFB, Holston Army Ammunition Plant, and Milan AAP is federally enforced and supersedes state regulations. Great Smoky Mountains National Park prohibits all drone flights within park boundaries under NPS regulations. TVA dams and power plants are designated critical infrastructure under SB 2106, requiring a 250-foot buffer.
Local Ordinances
The City of Lewisburg does not maintain a dedicated drone ordinance; commercial operators follow FAA Part 107 rules and Tennessee state law. Commercial takeoff and landing from city parks should be coordinated with the Lewisburg Parks and Recreation Department. The city lies entirely within Marshall County, simplifying local jurisdiction questions. Operators working near the Lewisburg Industrial Park or other manufacturing facilities should coordinate with facility management for takeoff and landing sites and notify security before conducting inspections.
Restricted Airspace
- Lewisburg sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace with no controlled airspace overhead. Ellington Airport (LUG) is an uncontrolled field serving the local area and does not require LAANC authorization for commercial drone operations in its vicinity, though operators should be aware of its traffic pattern and monitor the common traffic advisory frequency.
- The Nashville Class C airspace around BNA is approximately 50 nautical miles to the north and does not extend over the Lewisburg area, so no LAANC authorization is needed for routine commercial drone operations anywhere in the Marshall County region.
- The industrial parks on the south and west sides of Lewisburg are not restricted airspace, but operators should coordinate with facility managers before flying over active manufacturing sites and be aware of potential low-altitude truck and equipment traffic on private property.
Airports in the area: LUG — Ellington Airport (uncontrolled, located within the Lewisburg area), BNA — Nashville International Airport (Class C airspace, approximately 50 NM north)

Lewisburg, TN Aerial Imaging FAQs
Do I need LAANC authorization to fly a commercial drone in Lewisburg?
No. Lewisburg sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace with no controlled airspace overhead. Ellington Airport (LUG) is an uncontrolled field, and the Nashville Class C airspace is approximately 50 nautical miles to the north. Routine commercial drone operations in Lewisburg and the surrounding Marshall County area do not require LAANC authorization, but operators must still hold an FAA Part 107 certificate.
What airspace considerations affect drone flights near Ellington Airport (LUG)?
Ellington Airport is an uncontrolled field, so it does not have controlled airspace requiring LAANC authorization. However, operators should be aware of its traffic pattern, monitor the common traffic advisory frequency, and avoid flying directly in the approach or departure paths. Check the FAA UAS Facility Maps for any voluntary altitude recommendations near the field.
How much does a drone inspection cost for an industrial building in Lewisburg?
Drone inspections for industrial buildings in Lewisburg typically range from $185 to $1,500 depending on building size, height, and inspection complexity. Roof inspections for manufacturing facilities in Lewisburg Industrial Park generally cost $210 to $750. Most inspections can be completed in 1 to 2 business days, with results delivered within 3 to 5 days.
Can I fly a drone over Lewisburg Industrial Park for a facility inspection?
You can fly over private property with the owner's permission under FAA Part 107 rules. Industrial park sites are common drone inspection targets for roof condition assessments and façade inspections. Coordinate with facility management for access, notify security before launching, and be aware of truck traffic and equipment movement on the property during flights.
Does Lewisburg have a local drone permit requirement?
No. The City of Lewisburg does not issue a separate drone permit. Commercial operators need an FAA Part 107 certificate and should coordinate with Lewisburg Parks and Recreation for any takeoff or landing from city-owned property. Tennessee state privacy and surveillance statutes also apply, particularly for operations near manufacturing facilities and residential areas.
