Are drone operators allowed to fly their drones at night under Part 107?

Under Part 107, drone operators are allowed to fly their drones at night, but they must have appropriate anti-collision lighting. This requirement ensures that the drone is visible to other airspace users and helps to prevent accidents. The anti-collision lights must be capable of being seen for at least three statute miles and must be operated in a manner that allows other pilots to remain aware of the drone's position. This regulation reflects the FAA's commitment to maintaining safety in the airspace, particularly during times of reduced visibility.

While other choices imply flying at night might be either prohibited or unrestricted, the specific requirement for anti-collision lighting is in place to enhance safety during nighttime operations. Hence, as long as operators comply with this lighting requirement, they can legally and safely conduct nighttime flights under the Part 107 rules.
