never mind, i guess this answers the question *Q: I have a drone and would like to use it to monitor my business, such as by checking my roof. I won’t sell any pictures. Is this commercial use?*
A: Yes. The FAA views any UAS (drone) operation that supports the functions of your business as a non-recreational use. Curently, any non-recreational use of an unmanned aircraft requires a Section 333 exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration. Once the small UAS rule is in place, which should occur later this year, you will then be able to operate commercially under the new regulation.
