FAQ
Hiring a drone pilot in Grand Rapids
How do I hire a drone pilot in Grand Rapids?
Post the job on SkyLog with what you need flown, roughly where, and when. It goes on the public job board every pilot can see, and pilots whose service area and job types match are emailed about it. They send you quotes; you pick one. Posting is free and you are not obliged to hire anyone.
Which parts of Grand Rapids do these pilots cover?
The 3 pilots on this page state a service area within 75 miles of Grand Rapids, which covers Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Holland and Muskegon. Each profile shows that pilot's own base and travel radius, so you can check yours is inside it before you post.
Do I need a Part 107 pilot in Michigan?
Yes. Any drone flight for commercial purposes in the US requires the pilot to hold an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and Michigan adds no separate state licence. Pilots list their certifications on their SkyLog profile, and you can ask any pilot for their certificate number before you hire — as with any contractor, verifying credentials is worth doing yourself.
What does it cost to post a job or get quotes?
Nothing. Posting a job and receiving quotes is free, and SkyLog takes no commission and adds no markup — you pay the pilot you hire, at the price the two of you agree.
