Client FAQ: U.S. Drone Policy Update (2025)
(For One Sol Aerial – Launch 2026)
At One Sol Aerial, we want our clients to know that recent federal discussions around drone manufacturing do not affect our ability to serve you.
All of our operations:
-
Comply fully with FAA regulations

Top Questions & Concerns
Has the U.S. banned drones?
No. There is no general ban on drone operations in the United States. Licensed drone pilots can continue flying legally under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules.
Are foreign-made drones illegal to use now?
No. Drones already owned and operating in the U.S. remain legal to use, including well-known foreign-made models. There is no requirement to ground or replace existing drones.
What actually changed?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) updated rules that affect new foreign-made drone models entering the U.S. market in the future. This change focuses on import and authorization of new equipment, not on current operations.
Will this affect the drone services I hire today?
Does this impact government and non-government work differently?
Should clients be concerned about safety or legality?
What should clients expect going forward?
No. Drone services for real estate, inspections, construction, mapping, media, and infrastructure continue without interruption. Deliverables, timelines, and legal compliance remain unchanged.
Yes.
-
Government-serving operators already follow stricter equipment rules and approved drone lists.
-
Commercial, customer-facing operators (private businesses and consumers) are not subject to new flight restrictions.
Most private clients will see no operational impact.
No. Licensed operators must comply with FAA safety rules, insurance requirements, and airspace regulations regardless of drone manufacturer. Equipment origin does not determine flight safety or service quality.
