Commercial drone operations over Pickerington require FAA Part 107 certification and LAANC authorization for the CMH Class C airspace covering most of the city. Real estate and inspection flights are common but must be coordinated.
Part 107 remote pilots must request LAANC authorization up to the ceiling grid value, often 0 to 200 feet AGL near CMH. Night operations require anti-collision lighting visible for 3 statute miles. Flights over people require Category 1-4 compliance. The city does not require a separate business license for drone services but standard home occupation rules apply to drone businesses based at a residence.
FAA penalties up to 27,500 dollars per violation plus certificate suspension. Operating without Part 107 certification for commercial work is a separate federal offense.
