Why DroneHireHQ
✔ Verified pilots
We check every pilot's FAA Part 107 certificate and a certificate of insurance showing at least $1M liability before they're listed.
✈ We handle the airspace check
Much of Long Island is controlled airspace: Class C around Long Island MacArthur (ISP) and Class B from JFK and LaGuardia over western Nassau. We check your address and flag anything that needs FAA authorization.
$ Fair to pilots
Pilots pay only when a job is booked. No pay-per-lead, no bidding wars, and a price floor so quality pilots stay in the network.
☎ Real local humans
Every request is matched by a person on Long Island, not an algorithm in another state.
