A real estate agent photographs the agent's own listings with a drone and receives no separate payment for the photos. This operation is

• A.exempt from all FAA rules, because the agent owns the property listings.
• B.a Part 107 operation, because it is in furtherance of a business.
• C.recreational, because no one paid specifically for the photos.

Why

Work done to support a business is a Part 107 operation even when the flying itself is not separately billed. The absence of a photo invoice does not turn business marketing flights into recreation.
