Every pilot on Droners.io is vetted for an FAA Part 107 license. That's the certification the FAA requires to legally operate a drone for commercial work in the United States. The license check happens before a pilot can bid on a job.
What FAA Part 107 means
Part 107 is the rule that governs commercial drone flights. A pilot who holds this certificate has passed an FAA knowledge test covering airspace, weather, flight rules and safe operation.
Here's why that matters for your project:
It's legally required.
Clients are hiring someone who knows the rules.
We check it as part of pilot verification.
What about insurance?
Insurance tells you how a rare accident would be covered. It's worth confirming both for larger and higher-risk jobs. Many pilots carry their own coverage.
Here's how to handle it:
Check the profile.
If it isn't listed, use Pilot Chat to ask before hiring.
Confirm the details.
How vetting protects clients
Instead of chasing paperwork, clients get pilots who've already cleared a compliance check.
That protection shows up in a few ways:
Licensed pilots only.
Reviews and ratings.
Trust & Safety Guarantee.
These layers work together so clients can hire with less risk.
