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
Rome does not have a city-specific drone ordinance. Commercial operators follow Georgia SB 465 and FAA Part 107. A Floyd County business license is required for commercial work. Operations within the RMG Class D airspace require LAANC authorization. Berry College campus flights require approval from college administration. State Mutual Stadium has TFRs on Rome Braves game days.
Restricted Airspace
- Rome-Floyd County Airport (RMG) has Class D airspace within 4.4 NM radius, surface to 10,000 ft MSL. LAANC required for commercial drone operations within this zone.
- The Oostanaula and Etowah rivers converge in downtown Rome. No formal drone restrictions over the rivers, but operations near the riverfront development area should follow Part 107 safety protocols for operations over people.
- Berry College campus north of Rome has no formal drone restrictions, but commercial flights over campus require coordination with Berry College Facilities Management. The campus includes the largest college campus in the world at 27,000 acres.
- The Rome Braves stadium (State Mutual Stadium) has temporary flight restrictions on game days. TFR typically covers 3 NM radius, surface to 3,000 ft AGL.
