U.S. Commercial Drone Inspection Service Providers with FAA Part 107 Waivers
44 U.S. organizations that hold at least one FAA Part 107 waiver listed on the FAA's 'Part 107 Waivers Issued' page and whose own website states that they perform drone (UAS) inspection work for clients: electric utilities, towers and telecom, roofs and facades, bridges, solar and wind, oil and gas, tanks and confined spaces. Each row gives the city and state from the FAA waiver, every listed Part 107 waiver with its number, issue and expiry dates and the regulations waived, whether a BVLOS (107.31) waiver is held and, where the Certificate of Waiver states it, the BVLOS operating area or bound, the inspection verticals and the service area as the company's own site words them, the website, the FAA search link, and the company pages used as evidence with a short quote. This is not a complete list of U.S. drone inspection companies: there is no official list of them, and only companies with a waiver on the FAA page (issued 2022-2026) are covered.

Source data as of
FAA Part 107 and Part 91.113 Waivers Issued pages and company websites as retrieved 2026-10-11 (the FAA page lists issue dates up to 2026-11-30; the latest waiver in this list was issued 2026-10-01)
Last verified is the date we fetched the source data and confirmed it was the latest version the publishers had released.
What this list adds to the free source data
- Read all 89 pages (2,219 waivers, 1,798 distinct company names) of the FAA's Part 107 Waivers Issued table and set aside individual operators (company name equal to the responsible person), government bodies, schools and universities, drone-show, film and media companies by keyword, then shortlisted 224 of the remaining 702 names by hand.
- Put every one of the 224 shortlisted organizations through the same test and recorded the outcome in the build script, which fails if a shortlisted name has none: the company's own website must state drone or UAS inspection work for clients in a sentence or service line (not generic marketing copy), and the site must be tied to the FAA record. Each of the 44 rows carries the evidence page and a short quote, and the build re-fetches every page and fails if the quote is missing.
- Left out 180 shortlisted organizations, each with its reason: 37 whose site states no drone inspection service for clients or belongs to a same-name company elsewhere (including contractors and asset owners flying their own work), 24 drone-show, film or media companies, 39 product, software, defense, training, consulting or delivery businesses, 5 whose site describes a single operator, 3 whose company name identifies an individual, and 72 with no reachable own website (retried with curl -k and a browser User-Agent across common domain variants, plus a web search for about 40 of them).
- Read the Certificate of Waiver PDFs for the organization name, waiver number, city/state and, for BVLOS waivers, the operating area or bound the certificate states (10 rows have one), and merged spelling variants of one company into one row. No responsible-person names or street addresses are taken.
- Added the service area as stated on each company's own site (23 rows), bvlos_waiver and has_unexpired_waiver, and cross-checked every company against the FAA's Part 91.113 Waivers Issued page (1,200 waivers; no matches).
Limitations and what's not included
- Not a complete list of U.S. drone inspection companies. No official list exists. Only organizations with at least one waiver on the FAA Part 107 Waivers Issued page are covered, and that page currently shows waivers issued 2022-2026. Most inspection work needs no waiver, so many inspection firms (including some large ones) do not appear on the page and are not in this list.
- Inclusion depends on what the company's website said on 2026-10-11. 72 of the 224 shortlisted organizations were left out because no own website could be found or reached (parked, placeholder or another business's domain, or an error); for most of them the search was by domain variants only, and a web search was run for about 40. Some of them may be real inspection providers, so the list can miss providers. Some included companies offer inspection alongside photography, mapping or engineering, and inspection may be a small part of their work. For some rows the website was tied to the FAA record by the company name and region only, because the site does not state the FAA city (for example Alt Spec UAS Services, Big Sky Aerial Solutions, Flight Group); the match basis is recorded in the build script.
- Company size and staff numbers were not checked. Several rows are small firms. A firm was excluded when its own site describes a single operator or its company name identifies an individual.
- The FAA name is shown as the FAA lists it; it may differ from the legal or trading name (for example 'Eyeintheskyllcdroneservices', 'Firmatek Team'). For group companies the website is the group's site (for example Volatus Aerospace USA Corp. links to volatusaerospace.com).
- City and state come from the address on the waiver and may be a branch or project office, not the headquarters.
- A waiver can be canceled before its expiry date and the FAA page does not show cancellations; has_unexpired_waiver is based on the expiry date only. Since the 2021 amendment of Part 107, routine night operations no longer need a waiver, and night waivers issued before that change were ended by it. The one 107.29 waiver in this list (107W-2025-02746, issued 2025) waives 107.29(a)(2) and (b), the anti-collision lighting requirements for night and civil-twilight operations; it was issued under the current rule and is not affected by that change.
- Part 137 (agricultural dispensing) certificates are not included: the FAA's Part 137 UAS page does not publish an operator list, and Part 137 is not an inspection authorization. Section 44807 exemptions are not included: the FAA no longer has a list page for them (the old URL returns 404), and exemptions are only in individual regulations.gov dockets, which were not cross-referenced. Part 107 airspace authorizations (LAANC/DroneZone) are not public per operator.
- service_area_stated is the company's own marketing wording and is blank for 21 rows whose site states no service area. bvlos_operating_area is blank for most BVLOS waivers because their certificates only refer to locations in the waiver application, which the FAA does not publish; the Censys entry is read from a map in the certificate.
- inspection_verticals is ReqoData's summary of the company's own pages; it is not a statement by the FAA and is not exhaustive.
- Organization data only. No responsible-person names, street addresses, emails or phone numbers are included.

Columns in the CSV (16)
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| company_name | Company Name exactly as the FAA lists it on the Part 107 Waivers Issued page (for example 'Eyeintheskyllcdroneservices' is the FAA's spelling). Spelling variants of one company on the FAA page are merged into one row. |
| state | Two-letter U.S. state or territory code from the address on the most recent Certificate of Waiver that has one (GU = Guam). |
| city | City from the same waiver address. The street address is not included. |
| inspection_verticals | What the company's own website says it inspects, summarised by ReqoData from the page in service_source_url and the pages linked from it. Not a complete service list. |
| service_area_stated | The service area exactly as the company's own website words it (for example 'Nationwide Drone Services' or 'we serve clients throughout the South Carolina region'), from the page in service_area_source_url. Blank when the site states no service area; office addresses alone are not treated as a service area. Marketing wording, not a commitment checked by ReqoData. |
| faa_authorizations | Every Part 107 waiver the FAA page lists for the company: waiver number (as printed on the certificate), issue date, expiry date and the 14 CFR sections waived (107.31 = visual line of sight, 107.33 = visual observer, 107.35 = multiple aircraft, 107.39 = over people, 107.145 = over moving vehicles, 107.51 = altitude/speed limits, 107.29 = night). Part 91.113 waivers would be added from the FAA's Part 91.113 page; none of these companies is on it. Part 137 certificates and Section 44807 exemptions are not included (see limitations). |
| bvlos_waiver | yes when at least one listed waiver waives 107.31 (operation beyond visual line of sight) or a Part 91.113 waiver is listed. |
| bvlos_operating_area | For each BVLOS (107.31) waiver whose Certificate of Waiver PDF states it: the operating area or bound written in the certificate (a named site, the corridors on the certificate's map, a maximum distance from the takeoff location, a shoreline distance, or an altitude/structure bound for shielded operations), prefixed by the waiver number and separated by ' | '. Blank when the certificate only says operations are limited to the locations in the waiver application, which is not public (most waivers). |
| latest_waiver_issue_date | Date of Issuance of the most recent waiver on the FAA page (YYYY-MM-DD). |
| has_unexpired_waiver | yes when at least one listed waiver's expiry date is on or after last_verified. The FAA can cancel a waiver before it expires; cancellations are not shown on the page. |
| website | Company home page (for large groups, the group's site). Checked on last_verified. |
| source_url | The FAA Part 107 Waivers Issued page filtered to this company with the page's own search box; it lists every waiver in faa_authorizations. |
| service_source_url | The company page (or company brochure PDF) that states the drone inspection service. Re-fetched on last_verified; the build fails if evidence_quote is not on it. |
| evidence_quote | Short sentence or service line from service_source_url that names the inspection service. |
| service_area_source_url | The company page that contains service_area_stated (blank when service_area_stated is blank). Re-fetched on last_verified; the build fails if the wording is not on it. |
| last_verified | Date the FAA pages and company pages were retrieved for this build. |
