Hiring the Wrong Drone Cleaning Contractor Is a Bigger Risk Than You Think
The FAA's Part 107 certification is widely misunderstood as a mark of expertise. In reality, it's a written exam that any motivated person can pass in a few weeks. It tells you nothing about flight hours, safety practices, or what happens when something goes wrong at 120 feet.
For facility managers and building owners, the consequences can include:
-
Property damage or injuries resulting from human error and poor understanding of heavy-lift drones
On-site accidents from inadequate safety zones or untrained crew
FAA violations from operators flying without airspace authorization
Insurance and liability exposure
Poor results that require costly rework

"The FAA Part 107 certificate is the bare minimum to fly a drone. It's like saying someone has a driver's license and assuming they can operate a semi-truck."
