Waipahu commercial drone flights require FAA Part 107 certification and airspace authorization, with local park and aerial advertising rules also applicable.
No dedicated Honolulu chapter directly regulates commercial drones. ROH Chapter 40, Article 28 addresses aerial advertising. Commercial pilots must hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and secure LAANC authorization where applicable. Waipahu's location near multiple controlled airspace zones means most commercial flights require pre-flight FAA authorization. Commercial drone use in city parks is restricted under Sec. 10-1.2. Real estate and plantation-heritage videography operators should obtain landowner consent, coordinate with state Department of Land and Natural Resources for historic sites, and comply with HRS 711-1114 trespass rules.
Flying without Part 107 or LAANC, aerial advertising without compliance, or trespassing via drone over private property.
