Commercial drone operators across Gloucester County follow FAA 14 CFR Part 107: hold a Remote Pilot Certificate, register the aircraft, fly below 400 feet, and keep visual line of sight. New Jersey adds criminal limits under N.J.S.A. 2C:40-28; the county issues no drone license.
Any drone flight for business in Gloucester County, from real estate photos in Deptford to roof and solar inspections in Washington Township or site surveys in Monroe, falls under FAA 14 CFR 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 the direct supervision of a certificated remote pilot. Operators register the aircraft, stay below 400 feet, keep visual line of sight, and steer clear of the active skydiving traffic at Cross Keys Airport in Monroe Township. New Jersey adds no statewide commercial drone license, but its criminal statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:40-28, still applies, and municipalities may regulate only takeoff and landing from public property.
The FAA enforces Part 107 with civil penalties reaching tens of thousands of dollars for flying commercially without a Remote Pilot Certificate. New Jersey can separately charge endangering flight under N.J.S.A.
