Did you know that on Monday, when new Federal Aviation Administration rules take effect, it will be cheaper for real estate professionals to operate a drone for commercial purposes?

According to a video produced by the National Association of REALTORS® (“Window to the Law: FAA Issues Drone Rules”), REALTORS® will be able to purchase a “Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small UAS Rating” for about $150 rather than pursuing a more expensive pilot’s license.

Other FAA rule changes will require drone operators to keep the device in sight at all times and prohibit night operation. Want to know more? See the presentation by Lesley Walker, senior counsel with the NAR.
