According to regulations, what is the weight limit for an sUAS?

The correct weight limit for a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) according to FAA regulations is 55 pounds. This weight limit includes the entire sUAS along with any payloads, such as cameras or other equipment, that may be attached. The limit is established as part of the FAA's part 107 regulations, which governs the operation of commercial drone activities. Staying within this weight limit is crucial for maintaining compliance with regulatory standards set by the FAA, which ensure both safety and operational reliability. Exceeding this limit would require different certifications and regulations, potentially prohibiting certain types of operations or necessitating different licensing.
