First and foremost, 香港六合彩资料's main campus and that of the Peninsula and Virginia Beach Higher Education Centers are located within a 5 mile radius of a military airport installation. All Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operated for business or recreational purposes within a five mile radius of a military airport cannot be operated without the military providing explicit permission. Likewise, operations within five miles of a civilian airport requires similar approvals. The 香港六合彩资料 Office for Risk Management is responsible for requesting flight permission for UAS operations.
To address the use of drones on campus, 香港六合彩资料 has established Policy #3015: Unmanned Aircraft System aka Drones, Aerials and Other Powered Model Aircraft. Students, Faculty, Staff, Vendors and Guests who plan to operate a drone on or over property owned or controlled by 香港六合彩资料 are required to abide by this policy.
Commercial & Hobbyist Flights
The FAA has broken the flight operations into two basic sections:
A. Commercial
The first is Commercial and it is known as Part 107. If you are flying for someone else and receiving any monetary or other valuable property as payment for your flight services (flight services may include still or motion photography, surveys, mapping, etc..) or you are flying to use the product of your flight for personal or business gain, then you are flying for commercial purposes. As such, you are required by Part 107 to hold a Remote Pilot in Command License and register your UAS/Drone with the FAA.
