In the high-stakes industry of aerial operations, a generic agreement isn't enough to mitigate risks like FAA Part 107 violations or airspace liability. This specialized Ohio employment contract ensures your drone pilot is legally bound by Ohio Revised Code requirements, including ORC § 4112.02 anti-discrimination laws and ORC § 1335.15 writing requirements for long-term employment. By detailing specific flight plan responsibilities, LiDAR/payload handling, and privacy compliance, you protect your business from property damage and privacy invasion claims unique to sUAS operations in the Buckeye State.
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.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
While Ohio is an at-will state, ORC § 1335.15 requires that any employment agreement intended to last more than one year must be in writing. Our contract allows you to maintain at-will flexibility while clearly defining FAA-mandated safety duties to ensure that a termination for safety violations is well-documented.
The contract includes specific language regarding compliance with state-specific drone laws and privacy protections. It requires the pilot to obtain necessary airspace authorizations and follow data collection protocols to minimize liabilities related to privacy invasions and property damage, which are major contractual pain points for sUAS operators.
Yes. It features a specific clause requiring the employee to maintain a valid FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107). It also places the burden of proof for flight plans and airspace authorization on the pilot, ensuring the employer is mitigated against federal regulatory violations.
The agreement includes robust indemnification and property damage clauses. Since drone pilots handle expensive gimbals and LiDAR sensors, the contract specifies the pilot's duty of care and the insurance requirements necessary to cover potential sUAS-related property damage or personal injury.
