IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

Operating as an Indiana drone pilot involves navigating complex FAA Part 107 certifications and potential liabilities ranging from privacy complaints to property damage. A Power of Attorney is critical for commercial operators who need a trusted agent to manage flight plan submissions, sign equipment payload leases, or represent them in airspace authorization disputes when they are unavailable. Built for Indiana compliance, this document integrates Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act protections and at-will business standards, ensuring your sUAS operations remain legally resilient during gimbal malfunctions or LiDAR data disputes.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Drone Pilot:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
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 power of attorney 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
Yes. When you define the 'Powers Granted' under Indiana Code § 30-5, you can specifically authorize your agent to interact with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for filing flight plans, obtaining LAANC authorizations, and managing documentation related to your Remote Pilot Certificate.
By including a clear 'Revocation Clause' and defining the 'Durational Provision' per Indiana state law, you maintain control. If an agent exceeds their authority regarding property damage or privacy invasion claims, the specific scope defined in your 'Powers Granted' clause serves as a legal boundary to mitigate unauthorized settlements.
According to Indiana's Power of Attorney statutes, the document must be signed by the principal and notarized by a notary public to be effective. This provides the necessary verification to prevent fraud and ensures external parties, such as insurance providers or state aviation departments, recognize the agent's authority.
Yes, an agent can execute agreements such as repair contracts under the Indiana Home Improvement Contract Act if applicable, or service contracts involving LiDAR and data collection, provided the 'Governing Law' and 'Powers Granted' sections explicitly allow for legal and financial contract execution.
