Drone OperatorsPart 107 fleet compliance, one ledger

Never dispatch a lapsed RPIC again.

Built on official FAA data — airman currency, UAS Facility Map ceilings, registration. Never fabricated. AeroCopilot Operator is one auditable ledger for your Part 107 drone company — who's current, which aircraft are registered and airworthy, which mission has proof. Priced per organization, not per pilot — enterprise compliance tools reportedly run about $600/pilot/year. AI Copilot on every seat, no token caps.

A drone LLC lives and dies on one question the FAA and your insurer both ask: can you prove this crew and these aircraft were legal on that job? The spreadsheet that answered it for one pilot breaks at the third — currency dates drift, a recurrent lapses silently in the 24th month, and nobody notices until a ramp check or a claim.

AeroCopilot Operator replaces the spreadsheet with a shared ledger. Every RPIC's §107.65 recency, every aircraft's registration and Remote ID, every mission's weather-and-airspace snapshot, and every client invoice sit in one org-scoped system — the tools that used to require enterprise software, priced for a 5-drone shop.

  • Org-wide §107.65 currency rollup — every RPIC's recency re-derived and surfaced in one dashboard (consent-gated)
  • Fail-closed dispatch — mission create is gated on a current Remote Pilot certificate (§107.12) and re-validated airspace
  • Fleet register — 14 CFR Part 48 registration (applies regardless of aircraft weight), Remote ID (Part 89), and a per-airframe maintenance log in one place
  • Auditable mission trail — every DroneMission snapshots the weather and airspace it flew under
  • §107.9 incident helper — 10-day reporting deadline auto-calculated, with an overdue banner
  • Back-office built in — clients, projects, and invoices linked to the missions that earned them
Ops tools

What a drone LLC actually needs. Program-level tools, not just pilot tools.

§107.65 currency rollup
Every RPIC's recency re-derived in one org dashboard, consent-gated. Recency lapses at the end of the 24th calendar month after a knowledge test or recurrent training — the rollup shows who's inside that window before you assign the job.
Fail-closed dispatch
Mission create is gated on a current Remote Pilot certificate (§107.12) and re-validates airspace before flight. BVLOS (§107.31) is gated on an approved waiver; operations over people (§107.39) on a matching operational category (Cat 1-4); night operations (§107.29) on completed recurrent training and anti-collision lighting — each checked before dispatch, never a silent assumption.
Fleet register + maintenance
Every airframe registered under 14 CFR Part 48 — regardless of weight, Part 107 registration applies even under 250g — with Remote ID and a maintenance log: motor and prop replacements, firmware, battery-cycle and IMU checks, annual PM. The records your insurer asks for at renewal.
Ops-over-people trail
Flying over people under §107.39? Category 1 (0.55 lb or less) needs no declaration; Category 2 and 3 rely on the manufacturer's Declaration of Compliance (§107.160); Category 4 requires a standard airworthiness certificate. Attach the applicable proof to the operation and export it for a client or auditor.
Insurance-ready exports
One-click CSV built for the underwriting workflow — hand SkyWatch or Verifly your fleet, maintenance, and currency evidence before the job, not after the claim.
Recruit = invite
Onboard a new RPIC with an invite, not a spreadsheet row. Role-scoped seats, an org workforce board, and an audit trail that survives turnover.
AI Copilot, grounded in official data
Every Operator seat includes the AI Copilot, no token caps, working from official FAA airman and airspace data — it organizes what is real and never invents a currency date, a ceiling, or a registration status.
Client, project, and invoice back-office
Clients, projects, and invoices link straight to the missions that earned them — the paperwork side of the business lives in the same ledger as the compliance side, not a separate app.
Day in the life

A dispatch day on AeroCopilot. How the ledger fits a working drone company.

0600 — Roster review
Dashboard shows four jobs today across three RPICs. One recurrent lapses in 22 days — amber. Reassign that pilot off the over-people job before it's a problem.
0700 — Site check
New inspection site. Address-based airspace check returns Class D with a UAS Facility Map ceiling — the tool flags it needs LAANC authorization before you launch.
0900 — Mission brief
RPIC briefs the mapping mission. Cert confirmed current, Part 107 weather minimums checked (3 SM vis, 500 ft ceiling). The mission snapshots the weather and airspace it flew under.
1300 — Over-people job
Category 2 aircraft, Declaration of Compliance on file. The §107.39 operation is documented with the DoC attached — proof ready if the client asks.
1600 — Insurer request
Underwriter wants current fleet and currency evidence for the renewal. Export the CSV — fleet, maintenance, per-RPIC recency — and send it before end of day.
1800 — Close-out
Four missions archived with their snapshots. Invoice generated from the linked project. Tomorrow's preview shows one aircraft due for a battery-cycle check.

The only platform that puts airspace, compliance, and the back-office in one ledger.

Aloft and AirData are point solutions — airspace on one, logs on another, and your compliance still lives in a spreadsheet. AeroCopilot is the only platform that combines LAANC-grade airspace intelligence, per-RPIC currency, and the client/project/invoice back-office in a single org. One login, one export, one story to tell an auditor.

And the intelligence is honest. Currency comes from official FAA airman data; ceilings come from the FAA UAS Facility Map (378,000 grid cells). The AI Copilot on every seat is grounded in that same official data — it organizes what is real, it never invents. Where we are not live yet, we say so.

For the full Remote Pilot Certificate, LAANC, Remote ID, and waiver picture for an individual operator, see the 14 CFR Part 107 drone regulations guide.

Where we are honest about the roadmap

A compliance product only works if it never overstates. Here is what is live vs. coming.

  • Airspace intelligence is live; direct LAANC submission is coming soon. You get UAS Facility Map ceilings, airspace class, and an automatic "does this site need LAANC?" check today. Filing the authorization to the FAA in-app is not live yet.
  • Currency rollup is consent-gated. Each RPIC opts in before their recency appears on your org dashboard — their airman data, their permission.
  • Log import is CSV first. Bring existing fleet/mission history via CSV today; direct DJI/AirData sync is on the roadmap.

Run your program like the audit is tomorrow.

Start free. Add your RPICs, and stop dispatching on a guess.

Operator questions, answered.

How do drone companies track Part 107 currency across pilots?

An RPIC's recency lapses at the end of the 24th calendar month after their last knowledge test or recurrent training (ALC-677), under 14 CFR §107.65. A fleet dashboard that re-derives each pilot's currency and fails closed prevents assigning a non-current pilot to a commercial mission.

Does a Part 107 certificate expire?

The certificate itself doesn't expire, but recency to exercise Remote PIC privileges lapses at the end of the 24th calendar month after the last knowledge test or recurrent training. Renew with the free online course ALC-677 (§107.65). Currency is necessary but not sufficient — registration, Remote ID, airspace authorization, and airworthiness apply too.

How much does AeroCopilot Operator cost vs. Aloft?

Operator is $39/seat/mo ($390/seat/yr) — best at 5 or fewer RPICs — or $199/mo flat ($1,990/yr, 16.7% off) for 6 or more, priced per organization rather than per pilot. Aloft's enterprise compliance reportedly runs about $600 per pilot per year — a 5-pilot team there would run roughly $3,000/yr versus $1,950/yr here (5 seats x $390/yr annual). AI Copilot is included on every seat with no token caps.

When must a drone accident be reported to the FAA?

Within 10 calendar days if there is a serious injury or loss of consciousness, or damage of more than $500 to property other than the drone (repair cost or fair market value, whichever is less), under 14 CFR §107.9. AeroCopilot auto-calculates the 10-day deadline and flags overdue reports.

Can I fly over people with my drone?

Only under 14 CFR §107.39 with an aircraft that meets an operational category. Category 1 (0.55 lb or less) needs no paperwork; Categories 2 and 3 rely on the manufacturer's Declaration of Compliance (§107.160); Category 4 requires a standard airworthiness certificate. AeroCopilot lets you attach the applicable proof to the operation so you can hand a client or auditor the category in one export.
