Compliance Notice

Under FAA Part 107 regulations, any drone imagery used for commercial purposes — including inspections, documentation, or promotional content — must be captured by a licensed operator. Using unlicensed drone footage for business purposes can expose operators and companies to federal fines starting at $11,000 per flight.

Every image delivered by Strix Imaging is 100% FAA compliant, giving you full legal peace of mind.
