Customer could be mistaken, whoever was on the phone may not know that “drone” covers things from 737 Recon Drone to a $10 aliexpress quadcopter.
I’ll bet $50 it was either a high altitude drone or a satellite image bought from an imaging company, as they’ve been doing for at least 20 years, and not some quadcopter flying just above his yard.
Objectively not true. You may not operate a drone in controlled airspace even a foot off the ground until you get authorization from the FAA, typically through LAANC.
The complaint is not for satellite or airplane photography, it’s for a drone

What is the difference though? A drone is an aircraft and has to abide by FAA rules and regulations as manned aircrafts do.
Not necessarily. You’re not in faa airspace until a particular height…
