Soar to New Heights: Ace the FAA 107 Commercial Drone Pilot Test 2025 with Sky-High Confidence!

Accepting compensation for monitoring an event using a UAS clearly constitutes a commercial venture under 14 CFR Part 107. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines commercial operations as any activities conducted for compensation or hire, which includes scenarios like event monitoring. In this context, because you are being compensated for your services, it means you are operating within a commercial capacity.

Therefore, it is necessary to comply with all the regulations that fall under Part 107. This includes adhering to operational limits, maintaining proper certification, and ensuring safety measures are followed, all of which are designed to uphold airspace safety and efficiency. Engaging in such a compensated activity without adhering to these regulations could result in legal penalties, including fines or revocation of your remote pilot certificate.
