Drone Permitting in the New York City
Flying drones for commercial purposes in New York City requires strict compliance with both FAA regulations and local city rules. At Overlook Drone Solutions, we understand the complexity of operating in NYC’s highly regulated environment and take permitting and airspace restrictions seriously. Every flight is planned to be safe, legal, and fully authorized.
​
-
FAA Compliance – All of our pilots are FAA Part 107 licensed and follow federal guidelines for commercial drone operations, including altitude restrictions, line-of-sight requirements, and controlled airspace authorizations.
​
-
NYC Restrictions – Because drones cannot take off or land in most public spaces without authorization, we coordinate closely with property owners, venues, and relevant agencies to ensure site-specific approvals are in place before any project begins.
​
-
Event & Project Permits – For public events, marketing shoots, or construction projects in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, or Staten Island, we manage the permitting process so our clients don’t have to navigate the city’s complex requirements.
​
By handling permitting and compliance on your behalf, we eliminate the stress of navigating NYC’s strict drone regulations. You can focus on your project while knowing that every Overlook Drone Solutions flight in New York City is conducted responsibly, legally, and with full insurance coverage.
