    Safety & Compliance Commitment

    U.S. operations are conducted under FAA Part 107. Airspace, waivers, and local permissions are confirmed per job. Work outside the United States requires local authorization and is quoted separately.

    My Commitment to Safety & Compliance:

    • FAA Part 107 Certified: I hold a valid FAA Remote Pilot Certificate
    • FAA Part 107 Operations: U.S. flights are conducted under FAA Part 107 rules, with airspace and local permissions confirmed per job
    • Risk Mitigation: I implement comprehensive safety protocols designed to reduce risk on every drone mission. No flight operation is risk-free, and these protocols are not a guarantee against loss.
    • Pre-Flight Planning: Every mission includes thorough site assessments, airspace analysis, and weather evaluation
    • Insured: I'm insured. Upon request, I can provide proof of insurance directly from my agent.

    Remote ID Compliance (14 CFR Part 89):

    As required since March 2024, all Amdak Productions drone operations comply with FAA Remote Identification (Remote ID) requirements under 14 CFR Part 89. My aircraft are equipped with Standard Remote ID broadcast modules that transmit identification and location information during flight. This enables the FAA, law enforcement, and other parties to identify my UAS during operations.

    Insurance:

    I'm insured. Upon request, I can provide proof of insurance directly from my agent.

    Part 107 Operations:

    Standard U.S. operations are conducted under Part 107 rules (daytime, visual line-of-sight, under 400 ft AGL, away from people). For operations requiring waivers — such as operations over people, nighttime operations, or beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) — applicable FAA waivers and authorizations are confirmed per job prior to the mission. Waiver status and operational limitations are communicated to clients during project planning.

    Authorizations & Permissions

    • Appropriate authorizations and waivers are confirmed per project
    • LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorizations for controlled airspace
    • Airspace waivers and COAs (Certificates of Authorization) when required
    • Coordination with airports, heliports, and other aviation facilities as needed
    • Night operations waivers and other special authorizations as project requirements dictate

    Important Notice Regarding FAA Authorizations

    While required FAA authorizations and waivers are diligently applied for and monitored, the granting of these documents is solely at the discretion of the Federal Aviation Administration. Approval timelines or outcomes cannot be assured. Application status is monitored and planned for accordingly on every drone mission, but delays or denials by the FAA are outside Amdak's control. Clients will be notified promptly of any authorization issues that may affect project scheduling.
