As a Part 107 certified pilot in Michigan, your operations involve high-stakes liabilities from LiDAR data privacy to FAA airspace authorizations. Whether you are managing payload logistics or navigating MCL 445.774a non-compete restrictions, a professional Power of Attorney allows a trusted agent to manage your flight plans, insurance claims, and state-level registrations when you're unavailable. This document is tailored for Michigan's unique legal landscape, ensuring compliance with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act and the Michigan Data Breach Notification Act, specifically protecting your gimbal-captured imagery and aerial data sets.
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.

Since drone pilots often capture sensitive LiDAR or thermal data, your Power of Attorney should empower your agent to fulfill notice requirements under the Michigan Data Breach Notification Act in the event of a security compromise, protecting you from privacy invasion liabilities.
