U.S. Operations Support for Global Teams

FAA Part 107 Operations Support in the United States

ProAerial Media helps international companies plan and execute U.S. drone and field work—from demonstrations and site visits to multi-site data collection and repeat deployments.

Support options

Give PAM the U.S. side of the operation.

FAA Part 107 is often the search that starts the conversation. The actual assignment may also require equipment, travel, site readiness, safety coordination, technical data collection, and disciplined handoff to a remote team.

FAA Part 107 flight and field execution

U.S.-based remote pilot in command services, airspace and site review, flight planning, and professional field execution.

Testing and demonstrations

U.S. beta tests, customer demonstrations, proof-of-concept work, validation visits, and field trials for international teams.

Reality capture and technical data

Mapping, inspection imagery, thermography, progress documentation, media capture, and client-defined data-acquisition protocols.

Deployment and site support

Local coordination, site onboarding, safety training, equipment readiness, travel, troubleshooting, and communication with remote teams.

Repeat and multi-site programs

Standardized collection across locations, repeat visits, program documentation, field-quality consistency, and defined reporting.

Equipment

Bring your system or use ours.

PAM maintains a complete DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK setup and can coordinate other approved aircraft, payloads, positioning systems, or field equipment when the project requires them.

Client-provided systems are reviewed for documentation, condition, Remote ID, operating requirements, site restrictions, insurance, and field suitability before PAM accepts operational responsibility.

Nationwide support

Planned deployments and last-minute requests.

PAM is based in the United States and available for projects nationwide. Travel, mobilization, equipment, staffing, and scheduling are scoped to the assignment.

Ample lead time is preferred. Last-minute work may be accommodated when feasible, with rates that reflect compressed planning, travel, onboarding, or equipment needs.

Working together

A clear path from requirement to field result.

01

Define the U.S. outcome

Location, schedule, equipment, operating method, deliverables, and what success means to your team.

02

Confirm feasibility

Airspace, site permission, aircraft, Remote ID, safety, training, insurance, security, staffing, and schedule.

03

Plan the right level of support

A defined field assignment, deployment coordination, or program-level operational leadership.

04

Execute and hand off

Complete the approved work and deliver the agreed data, media, documentation, or field findings.

Field-proven support

International teams have already trusted PAM with serious U.S. assignments.

FAA operating context

Part 107 is essential. It may not be the only requirement.

Reviewed August 8, 2026

The FAA does not currently recognize a foreign remote-pilot credential as the equivalent of an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate. A person without a U.S. certificate may manipulate the controls only under qualifying direct supervision, or a U.S.-certificated remote pilot can conduct the operation.

Depending on the aircraft and mission, registration or foreign-aircraft recognition, Remote ID, a Notice of Identification, DOT economic authority, airspace authorization, waivers, site permission, or other requirements may apply.

PAM is not a certificate-rental service. The remote pilot in command remains responsible for the operation, and every project receives a feasibility, safety, equipment, and compliance review.

This page provides general operational information, not legal advice. Requirements are confirmed against the actual project.

Frequently asked questions

Before you bring a project to the United States.

Can a foreign drone pilot use their home-country credential in the United States?

The FAA does not currently recognize a foreign remote-pilot credential as the equivalent of an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate. A person may pursue an FAA certificate, operate only under qualifying direct supervision, or have a U.S.-certificated remote pilot conduct the operation.

Can PAM operate a drone or system supplied by our company?

Potentially. PAM reviews the aircraft, documentation, condition, Remote ID status, operating requirements, insurance, site restrictions, and field suitability before accepting it. The remote pilot in command retains final authority over the operation.

Is FAA Part 107 the only requirement for a U.S. commercial drone project?

No. Aircraft registration or foreign-aircraft recognition, Remote ID, Notice of Identification, DOT economic authority, airspace authorization, waivers, site permission, insurance, and other project-specific requirements may also apply.

Can PAM support a U.S. demonstration, beta test, or field trial?

Yes. PAM can support defined demonstrations and tests as well as longer deployments. If an initial assignment expands into multi-site, recurring, or program-level work, the scope and operating responsibilities are reset before the expanded phase begins.

Does PAM work throughout the United States?

Yes. PAM is U.S.-based and available for projects nationwide. Travel, mobilization, equipment, staffing, and scheduling are scoped to the assignment.

How much lead time does PAM need?

Ample lead time is preferred because it improves feasibility, safety, coordination, and cost control. Last-minute requests may be accommodated when feasible, with pricing that reflects compressed planning, travel, staffing, or equipment requirements.

What equipment can PAM provide?

PAM maintains a complete DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK setup and can coordinate other approved aircraft, payloads, positioning systems, or field equipment when the project requires them.

What can PAM deliver after the field work?

Deliverables may include organized source data, georeferenced imagery, thermal or RGB datasets, mapping products, site documentation, photography, video, field records, test findings, and client-defined reporting.
