FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Georgia require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network operators are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Georgia regulates drone operations through SB 465 (2019), which prohibits drone surveillance of private property without consent, restricts flights over critical infrastructure, and bans interference with law enforcement and emergency operations. Commercial drone operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and obtain LAANC authorization for controlled airspace near airports. Georgia does not require a separate state drone license. Local governments may regulate takeoff and landing on public property. Military restricted airspace around Fort Moore, Fort Gordon, Hunter Army Airfield, and Robins AFB is federally enforced and supersedes state regulations. Atlanta requires permits for drone operations in city parks, and Savannah requires a film permit for commercial drone work in the historic district.
Local Ordinances
Pooler does not have a city-specific drone ordinance. Commercial drone operations follow Georgia SB 465 and FAA Part 107. A Pooler business license is required for commercial work. The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport Class C airspace covers most of Pooler, requiring LAANC authorization for controlled airspace. Hunter Army Airfield to the southeast has military restricted airspace active by NOTAM. Pooler Parks and Recreation should be contacted for commercial drone operations on city park property. The Mega Site industrial corridor along I-95 has no additional drone restrictions beyond FAA controlled airspace.
Restricted Airspace
- SAV (Savannah/Hilton Head International) Class C airspace covers the Pooler area. Commercial drone flights within the Class C lateral boundary require LAANC authorization. The Class C shelf extends from the surface to 4,000 ft AGL near the airport.
- Hunter Army Airfield (SVN) is 8 miles southeast with Class D airspace and military restricted areas. Low-altitude drone operations in eastern Pooler may require LAANC coordination with Hunter AAF tower when restricted areas are active.
- Fort Stewart military installation is 35 miles southwest with extensive restricted airspace (R-3007 series) that does not directly affect Pooler operations but may impact transit routes.
- The Pooler Recreation Complex and community parks do not have posted drone restrictions, but commercial operators should coordinate with the Pooler Parks and Recreation Department for takeoff/landing on city property.
Airports in the area: SAV — Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (Class C airspace, 3 miles southeast), SVN — Hunter Army Airfield (military, Class D airspace, 8 miles southeast)

Pooler, GA Aerial Imaging FAQs
Can I fly a drone near Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Pooler?
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) has Class C airspace that covers most of Pooler. Commercial drone flights within the Class C lateral boundary require LAANC authorization through the FAA. You must coordinate with the SAV air traffic control tower for operations within 5 miles of the airport. Low-altitude flights (under 400 ft AGL) outside the Class C lateral boundary may not require LAANC, but always check the current airspace classification on the B4UFLY app before flying.
How does Hunter Army Airfield affect drone operations in Pooler?
Hunter Army Airfield (SVN) is 8 miles southeast of Pooler and has Class D airspace with military restricted areas. When restricted areas are active (published by NOTAM), civilian drone flights are prohibited in the affected zones. Even when inactive, Class D airspace requires LAANC authorization. Always check current NOTAMs before flying in eastern Pooler near the Hunter AAF approach corridors.
What drone services are most in demand in Pooler?
Warehouse and distribution center construction monitoring along the I-95 corridor is the primary demand driver, followed by residential development data collection projects for master-planned communities along Pooler Parkway. Industrial roof inspections for the Mega Site facilities, retail construction documentation at Tanger Outlets, and real estate photography for new home communities are also in high demand.
Do I need a business license for commercial drone operations in Pooler?
Yes. The City of Pooler requires a business license for commercial operations. You must also hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Georgia SB 465 prohibits surveillance of private property without consent and restricts flights over critical infrastructure. Contact Pooler City Hall for the current business license application and fee schedule.
What is the cost of a drone construction monitoring service in Pooler?
Construction monitoring in Pooler typically costs $350 to $2,000 per visit, depending on site size and deliverable requirements. Warehouse and distribution center projects along the I-95 corridor often require recurring weekly or bi-weekly monitoring visits, which can be arranged at a discounted rate.
Are there drone restrictions at Pooler parks and recreational areas?
The Pooler Recreation Complex and community parks do not have posted drone restrictions, but commercial operators should coordinate with the Pooler Parks and Recreation Department before takeoff or landing on city property. Georgia SB 465 and FAA Part 107 apply to all commercial drone operations regardless of location. Flying over crowded outdoor events or sports activities should be avoided for safety.
