In the high-stakes Georgia sUAS industry, a generic agreement isn't enough to protect your operation from airspace violations or LiDAR data disputes. You need a contract that acknowledges the FAA Part 107 regulatory framework while strictly adhering to Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 at-will guidelines. Whether you are navigating thermal imaging over Atlanta or mapping agricultural land under the Georgia Right to Farm Act, our document ensures clear terms on crash liability, payload insurance, and the enforceable restrictive covenants required under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Drone Pilot:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
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.

Recommended coverage: Aviation Liability Insurance · Commercial General Liability Insurance · Drone Hull Insurance (covers damage to the drone) · Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance
Under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, Georgia is an at-will state, meaning either party can terminate the relationship for any legal reason. However, our contract allows you to specify notice periods and termination protocols to handle the return of expensive equipment like LiDAR scanners or proprietary flight logs, ensuring operational continuity despite the at-will default.
Yes, provided they comply with the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act (O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50). To be enforceable, the scope of work—such as specific aerial photography or infrastructure inspection services—must be reasonable in duration and geographic area. Our generator helps you define these limits to stay compliant with state law.
The contract includes specific indemnification clauses that allocate risk for FAA Part 107 violations and privacy invasions. It requires the pilot to maintain active certification and obtain necessary airspace authorizations before flight. While the employer provides the gimbal and airframe, the pilot’s adherence to flight plans is a critical contractual obligation to mitigate crash liability.
