Part 107 Operations

The regulatory and command discipline of commercial flight — certification, airspace authorization, risk assessment and go/no-go judgment.

Also known as 14 CFR Part 107, Remote Pilot in Command, PIC

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 4 disciplines this one worked alongside, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that used this technology is counted, so what shows here is the company it kept rather than the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

Flight operations conducted under 14 CFR Part 107 by a certificated Remote Pilot in Command: airspace classification and authorization, waivers, pre-flight risk assessment, and the authority — and responsibility — that sits with the PIC over whether a flight happens at all.

The PIC’s authority to decline a flight is the part clients find surprising and the part that matters most.
