How much does a drone pilot cost in Nashville?

Among the 3 pilots covering Nashville who publish a day rate, most sit between $125 and $1,250 per day, with a median of $950. What you actually pay depends on the deliverable — a single listing shoot sits at the bottom of that range, a mapping run with GIS exports at the top. SkyLog takes no commission on either: the quote you accept is the price you pay.

Hiring a drone pilot in Nashville

How much does a drone pilot cost in Nashville?

Among the 3 pilots covering Nashville who publish a day rate, most sit between $125 and $1,250 per day, with a median of $950. Hourly rates run $35 to $250. What you pay depends on the deliverable — a single listing shoot sits at the bottom of that range, a mapping run with GIS exports at the top. SkyLog takes no commission, so the quote you accept is the price you pay.

How do I hire a drone pilot in Nashville?

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 Nashville do these pilots cover?

The 4 pilots on this page state a service area within 75 miles of Nashville, which covers Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville and Clarksville. 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 Tennessee?

Yes. Any drone flight for commercial purposes in the US requires the pilot to hold an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and Tennessee 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.

Post your Nashville job. Keep every dollar of it.

Free to post, free to receive quotes, and no commission on what you pay your pilot — unlike marketplaces that take a cut from both sides.
