Commercial drone pilots in Paulding 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 Paulding County - real estate photography around Dallas and Hiram, roof and tower inspections, construction and land 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 in any controlled airspace. Because O.C.G.A. § 6-1-4 preempts local drone rules, neither Paulding 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.
