To become a drone pilot, pilots must be: at least 16 years old able to read, speak and write English physically and mentally fit to fly a drone pass the initial aerona

Ep. 50: The #1 AgTech Trend You Should Know About with John Fulton (Plus the Latest Precision Ag Research and Tech Tips for Harvest) If John Fulton could label the 2022 farming year with one AgTech product, he’d tell you it would “go down in his book as the year of the spray drones.” In this episode of the Precision Points Podcast, John Fulton, a professor in the Food, Agriculture and Biological Engineering Department at The Ohio State University, reveals one of the biggest A

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to dispense chemicals and agricultural products using your drone, the requirements fall under 14 CFR Part 137, Agricultural Aircraft Operations. Not all substances fall under this regulation. Applicators should check if their operation meets the FAA's criteria for part 137. If the substance that is to be dispensed does meet these criteria (part 137.3), then refer to the Certification Process for Agricultural Aircraft Ope
