I work for a state university and am studying up for a 107 cert. My unit is looking to purchase a mavic air 2 for a research project. As with most large state/local gov I don’t do any of the actual buying, I just do the request, and there are rules for who can sign contracts, what apps we can use, etc.
I’ve been able to pass through most of the red tape so far and the drone is in queue for order but I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the 107 registration for the device with the FAA, if (assuming it’s me) I can use the web registration portal, or if I (or another campus entity like legal counsel, contracts, etc.) need to use the paper form.
I clearly don’t own the thing, but it’s not operated by a business or trust.
The heading structure of Aircraft Registration – Unmanned Aircraft (UA) doesn’t make it particularly clear where govt owned devices fall in the registration ecosystem. So anyone with experience in this area, advice is appreciated.
