Agras T10 for roof spraying?

[Dum Spiro Sparrow]

I want to start treating roofs for moss prevention, and I was wondering what people think the feasibility of using a DJI Agras T10 would be. RTK would obviously make it better, but do you think it’s necessary?

Would work great. Falls under 137, make sure you know the rules.

I'm not sure it does fall under 137. When you read the rules it says spraying for agricultural reasons, and this isn't for that. It's for building maintenance.

This is not legal advice and is for educational purposes.​

From the FAA​

What's an Agricultural Operation?​

Under Part 137, the following aircraft operations are considered agricultural by nature:

• Dispensing any economic poison as defined in Section 137.3
• Dispensing any other substance intended for plant nourishment, soil treatment, propagation of plant life, or pest control.
• Engaging in dispensing activities directly affecting agriculture, horticulture, or forest preservation.

Algae is plant life and algicide is an economic poison.

This is in my opinion definitely a 137 operation. Fortunately a T10 is under 107 not 44807. Much is less restricted.

Also check out that 137.3 noted in the above paragraph from the FAA.

COuld you please elaborate on the T10 is under Part 107 and not 44807?

OP, don't forget to research your state's regulations on spraying herbicides also. You may have to have a license.
