Q

You plan to operate a 33 lb. sUAS to capture aerial imagery over real estate for use in sales listings. Is this sUAS operation subject to 14 CFR Part 107?

A

Yes, this sUAS operation is subject to Part 107.

This operation would be subject to Part 107 since it is not a flight for enjoyment or fun. Also, since the aircraft weights 33 pounds, it falls under the limits of 55 lbs set by the FAA. Note that even if the sUAS weighted less than .55 pounds, it would still be required to follow Part 107 rules.
