Pearl City commercial drone operations require FAA Part 107 certification and LAANC airspace authorization due to proximity to Pearl Harbor and airport restricted airspace.
No dedicated Honolulu chapter directly addresses commercial drones. ROH Chapter 40, Article 28 regulates aerial advertising. Commercial pilots must hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. In Pearl City, controlled airspace near Pearl Harbor and Daniel K. Inouye Airport requires LAANC authorization for nearly every commercial flight. Real estate and construction photography require pre-flight airspace approval. Commercial drone use in public parks is further constrained by ROH Sec. 10-1.2. HRS 711-1114 also prohibits drone trespass over private property.
Flying without Part 107, missing LAANC authorization, aerial advertising without compliance, or trespass via drone.
