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
Statesboro does not have a city-specific drone ordinance. Commercial operators follow Georgia SB 465 and FAA Part 107. A Bulloch County business license is required for commercial work. Operations within the TBR Class D airspace require LAANC authorization. Georgia Southern University campus flights require approval from GSU Facilities Management. Paulson Stadium has TFRs on football game days.
Restricted Airspace
