FAA Certifications & Approvals
Drone For Hire operates under the highest federal standards for commercial UAS work.
FAA Section 333 Approval
DFH holds a Section 333 exemption granted by the FAA, authorizing commercial UAS operations prior to and alongside Part 107 regulations. This approval demonstrates our long-standing commitment to safe, lawful aerial operations.
FAA Part 137 Exemption
DFH has been granted an FAA Part 137 exemption, permitting aerial application operations — including precision agricultural spraying and crop treatment — that would otherwise require a traditional agricultural aircraft operator certificate.
FAA Compliant Pilot Training
All DFH pilots are trained to FAA standards. Our training programs cover airspace regulations, safety protocols, and operational best practices to ensure every flight meets federal compliance requirements.
Established in 2010
Drone For Hire specializes in research, design, and commercial applications of small Unmanned Automated Systems (UAS). DFH offers cost effective, full service and customized UAS solutions for aerial data acquisition and data processing. Operating out of Modesto, California, DFH has been working within agriculture, industry, and education to identify UAS applications, define best practices of UAS operations, and refine our aircraft designs.
