Commercial drone pilots in Coweta County follow FAA 14 C.F.R. Part 107: hold a Remote Pilot Certificate, register the aircraft, stay below 400 feet, keep line of sight. Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 6-1-4 bars the county from adding its own drone license.
Any drone flight for business in Coweta County - real estate photography around Newnan, film and location work in Senoia, roof and tower inspections, or construction surveys - falls under FAA 14 C.F.R. Part 107. Section 107.12 requires the person at the controls to hold a Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating, or to fly under a certificated pilot's direct supervision. Operators register the drone, stay below 400 feet, keep visual line of sight, and obtain LAANC authorization in the controlled airspace near the Newnan-Coweta County Airport (CCO) and under Atlanta's approaches. Because O.C.G.A. § 6-1-4 preempts local drone rules, neither Coweta County nor Georgia adds a separate commercial drone license.
Flying commercially without a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate exposes operators to FAA civil penalties reaching tens of thousands of dollars. Entering controlled airspace without LAANC authorization draws federal enforcement.
