The FAA is a federal agency responsible for the safety of civil aviation. Among many other activities, the FAA issues and enforces regulations and minimum standards covering manufacturing, operating, and maintaining aircraft. Before legally operating your drone in agricultural applications, you will work with the FAA to secure and record items such as a Third Class medical certificate, a remote pilot certificate, drone registration and an Agricultural Aircraft Operations certificate (unless flying as an employee for an existing operator).
