ADU 01032: Can I Fly My Drone Over Roads and Moving Vehicles? - a podcast by Drone U

Commercial Drone Laws for Flying a Drone over Roads and Moving Vehicles

Today's question is about drone laws. As a part 107 pilot, can you fly over roads and moving vehicles?



Our caller for today, Paul from Arizona, is a hobby pilot thinking of getting his Part 107. Not familiar with commercial drone laws, Paul is wondering if he can fly his drone over state highways and moving vehicles.



To help Paul out, we explain the Part 107 rule for flying your drone over roads and moving vehicles. First of all, is flying drones over roads permissible? If yes, does this give rise to safety concerns? In this show, we explain the subtle distinction in Part 107 rules for flying your drone over moving and stationary vehicles. Listeners will also learn how getting a Public COA might aid you in such a situation.



We wrap up this informative show by sharing how FAA's NPRM might make flight-over-people operations a possibility in the near future. Thanks for the great question, Paul. Fly Safe!
