As a Michigan drone pilot, a generic bill of sale is insufficient for transferring high-stakes assets like sUAS with LiDAR payloads or high-end gimbals. Under Michigan's Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132), written documentation is vital for enforceability. Whether you are selling a used fleet or purchasing new equipment, you must account for FAA Part 107 record-keeping compliance, potential privacy liabilities, and Michigan-specific consumer protection laws. This document formalizes the transfer of ownership, clarifies 'as-is' status to mitigate crash liability, and ensures your transaction meets both federal aviation standards and Michigan state statutes.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Drone Pilot:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
FAA Regulation Violations
Contracts can specify that pilot maintains active Part 107 certification and compliance with all FAA guidelines.
Privacy Invasions
Agreements often include clauses ensuring compliance with federal and state privacy laws, as well as specifying data collection practices.
Property Damage
Service contracts typically include indemnity clauses and require the pilot to have sufficient insurance to cover potential damages.
Airspace Violations
Contracts may require pilots to obtain necessary airspace authorizations and provide proof of compliance with flight plans.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
FAA Part 107
Governs the commercial operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), detailing requirements for operation, pilot certification, and aircraft limitations.
Enforced by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
FAA Section 336
Regulates model aircraft operations primarily for hobbyists, which can sometimes impact drone pilots in determining the commercial vs. recreational distinction.
Enforced by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
State-specific drone laws
Each state may have specific laws regulating drone use, such as registration requirements, privacy laws, and restricting operations in certain areas (e.g., near critical infrastructure or private property).
Enforced by State Aviation Authority or Department of Transportation
Recommended coverage: Aviation Liability Insurance · Commercial General Liability Insurance · Drone Hull Insurance (covers damage to the drone) · Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance
MCL 566.132 requires specific agreements to be in writing to be legally enforceable. For drone pilots, this means verbal agreements for equipment sales are risky. A written Bill of Sale provides the necessary legal evidence of the transaction, price, and transfer of title, protecting both parties in the event of a dispute over ownership or payment terms.
While the Bill of Sale itself is a civil legal document for ownership transfer, it serves as crucial evidence of the 'Description of the Item Sold.' This is necessary when updating your drone registration in the FAA DroneZone. It ensures that the Remote Pilot Certificate holder has documentation of the date the aircraft and its unique serial numbers were transferred to a new party.
By including a 'Warranties and Disclaimers' clause (specifically an 'as-is' clause) and a Buyer's Acknowledgment, you protect yourself from future property damage or privacy invasion claims triggered by the new owner's operations. This is critical in Michigan, which follows a modified comparative fault rule for tort-related disputes.
If you are selling equipment to an employee or a former employer, Michigan's Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501) entitles employees to inspect personnel records. Any legal agreements or records of equipment transfer involving staff should be properly documented as they may be subject to review under this Michigan-specific disclosure requirement.
