Drone/UAV Liability for tower and telecom contractors
Hull and liability coverage for commercial drone operations
Overview
Drone liability covers damage caused by commercial UAV operations including tower inspections, site surveys, and progress documentation. Hull coverage protects the drone itself. As drone inspection replaces some climbing tasks, this coverage becomes more common in telecom programs.
Why it matters for tower work
A drone collision with an active antenna or carrier equipment can cause service interruption and significant property damage. Privacy and regulatory compliance add liability dimensions beyond physical damage.
MSA relevance
Tower owners increasingly require drone liability coverage ($1M minimum) for inspection contractors. FAA Part 107 compliance is a prerequisite. Some owners require the drone policy to include their name as additional insured.
