Businesses Regulations are Confusing and Complex

t’s not uncommon to find businesses unfamiliar with UAS flying regulations and standards—which makes them quite nervous, according to Spotted Eagle.

“As soon as you say ‘federal government,’ it scares the heck out of people,” Spotted Eagle said. “If you’re a cattle farmer, you have fences to corral your assets. It defines clearly what’s what and who’s who and where’s where. When you have the Wild West and there are no rules, chaos develops. The whole purpose of fences is to generate organization.”

Confusion about regulations demonstrates the primary reason to work with drone solution providers, Frechette said. “Regardless of the actual use case, there is almost always regulations involved at the federal, state and/or local level.”

“It’s like every new and emerging technology,” added Schaefer. “Yes, it takes some time to feel your way around. But with a little effort, you can understand the regulations, get your unmanned pilot certification and start flying commercially.”
Myth 3: Businesses Can Run Drones on Their Own

While businesses may be capable of operating drones on their own, drone solution providers offer the training, processes and services to ensure that autonomous operation of drones is successful, Schaefer said. “Internal operations are key. There are some steps to take. You can’t just take it out of the box and fly. Spend time with a partner to learn how a professional drone operator would complete the job. Then build your program around the things you learn,” he said.

Many businesses fail with drones, or don’t get what they want out of them because they haven't planned properly, said Richard Lopez, National UAS Operation executive with Hensel Phelps Construction.

It’s critical to implement a drone operation plan—to expect the unexpected. “You need to understand all the site conditions and potential obstacles for your project: trees, power line, construction cranes, etc., as well as informing onsite crews that there will be drone activity on site,” Lopez said. This planning comes with training, experience, and working with certified partners, he added.
