When I started the Drone program here, Risk Management advised that in order for the insurance company to insure myself and the sUAS ($2 million), I had to be certified Part 107 and a minimum of 100 documented flight hours. Now, that is just what OUR requirements were.. I understand their thinking... Make sure the pilot has FAA training and a good understanding of the FAA Laws, as well as documented hours of experience. We were told in a meeting, that should another CSI want to be a sUAS Pilot, they had to obtain a Part 107 as well as have documentation of 100 flight hours. I explained that I could be present and have another CSI fly as long as I can take immediate control, but Risk Management said if an accident occurred, the non-Part 107 pilot nor the City would be insured for the accident. We explained the COA and how we can self-certify and self-train, but Risk Management wanted nothing to do with it. We are still seeking our COA, but are keeping my Part 107 active so the insurance company stays happy...
Each city will have it's own odd hurdles... Good luck to all!!!!
