Commercial drone operators must hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and obtain LAANC authorization for Midway airspace covering Orland Park. Filming and surveying involving village property or events requires coordination with the village.
FAA Part 107 governs all commercial drone operations in Orland Park including real estate photography, roof inspections, and surveying. Operators need a Remote Pilot Certificate, drone registration, and LAANC authorization for the controlled airspace surrounding Midway International. Village filming permits are required for commercial drone operations involving public rights-of-way, street closures, or village facilities (Civic Center, Sportsplex, Crescent Park). Operations near LaGrange Road (US 45), 159th Street, and the Orland Square Mall corridor require care due to traffic density. Commercial operators must carry liability insurance and comply with Illinois Freedom from Drone Surveillance Act restrictions on capturing identifiable images of private property without consent.
FAA fines up to $27,500 per violation for Part 107 infractions. Village citations up to $750 per day for filming without required permit.
