FAA Certified & Insured Aerial Photography Services


In the evolving landscape of aerial photography and videography, the difference between amateur and professional results often comes down to one crucial factor: FAA certification. As drones become more accessible to the general public, the importance of working with certified professionals has never been more significant. Here's why choosing an FAA-certified drone pilot like those at 561AERIALS makes all the difference for your project.


Legal Compliance and Risk Management

When you hire an uncertified drone operator, you're taking on significant legal and financial risks. FAA-certified pilots operate under Part 107 regulations, which provide the legal framework for commercial drone operations. This certification ensures that your aerial photography project complies with federal aviation laws, protecting you from potential fines and legal complications.

FAA-certified pilots also carry the proper insurance coverage specifically designed for drone operations. This insurance shields you from liability in case of accidents or property damage during your project—protection that uncertified operators simply cannot provide.


Superior Technical Expertise

The path to FAA certification requires pilots to develop comprehensive knowledge of airspace regulations, weather patterns, flight operations, and emergency procedures. This expertise translates directly into higher quality results for your project.

Certified pilots understand complex airspace restrictions and can navigate them legally, ensuring your project doesn't face unexpected delays. They can assess weather conditions and their impact on flight safety and image quality, making informed decisions about the optimal time for your shoot.


Enhanced Safety Protocols

Safety isn't just about compliance—it's about protecting people, property, and your investment. FAA-certified pilots follow strict pre-flight checklists, maintenance schedules, and operational procedures that minimize risks during every flight.

This systematic approach to safety means your project proceeds smoothly without the interruptions or dangers that can arise when working with inexperienced operators who may lack proper training in emergency situations or equipment management.


Superior Image Quality and Creative Results

Beyond the technical and legal advantages, certified drone pilots bring artistic vision and technical skill to your project. Their experience allows them to capture breathtaking perspectives and compositions that amateur operators might miss.

Professional drone pilots understand the nuances of camera settings, lighting conditions, and flight maneuvers that result in stable, high-quality footage. They can execute complex flight patterns and camera movements that bring cinematic quality to your aerial photography.


Investment Protection

Hiring an FAA-certified drone pilot is an investment in quality and peace of mind. Professional pilots use enterprise-grade equipment with redundant safety features and superior image capture capabilities. They understand how to protect this expensive equipment during transportation and operation, ensuring consistent results throughout your project.

561AERIALS is not a licensed surveyor and does not offer survey grade information.  For projects where exact measurements count, you still need to rely on a licensed land surveyor or survey engineer.  561AERIALS can provide aerials in cooperation with your surveyor, but we do not replace the need for a licensed land surveyor on the ground.
