Commercial drone operations in Victorville are governed by FAA 14 CFR Part 107. Operators must hold a Remote Pilot Certificate with sUAS rating, pass initial and recurrent knowledge tests, and register each drone. Standard Part 107 operations limit flight to below 400 feet, daylight or civil twilight with lighting, within visual line of sight, away from other aircraft and people, and only over individuals if the aircraft meets category requirements under Part 107 subpart D, otherwise a waiver is required. Flights in controlled airspace around Southern California Logistics Airport require LAANC or DroneZone authorization. Certain operations such as over moving vehicles, beyond visual line of sight, from a moving platform, or at high speeds require a Part 107 waiver. Operators should notify property owners and comply with California Civil Code 1708.8 privacy protections, and get a Victorville business license if operating commercially from within the city.
