Regulated by the FAA!

FAA UAS Rules Always Changing!

Recurrent Testing:

     The FAA requires commercial pilots in command to successfully complete recurrent training every 24 months to continue to fly.

 

Flight Over People:

      Special authorizations are needed before anyone flys over people.  This is a safety hazard and needs to be carefully considered and approved by the FAA in advance.

 

Night Flight:

     Flying at night is permitted with the proper authority and with anticollision lights that can be seen up to 3 miles.  Standard lights in drones are not enough and can not be seen that far away.

 

Remote ID:

     The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented new regulations for remote identification (Remote ID) of drones.

 

     This regulations requires all drones that weigh more than 250 grams (.55 lbs) to broadcast their identification and location information to other aircraft and ground stations. This information will include the drone's registration number, altitude, speed, and direction of travel.

 

      The Remote ID regulations will not apply to drones that are operated for hobby or recreational purposes.  (THESE drones and recreational fliers can not be used for commerical purposes.)

     If you are a recreational flyer - Make sure your drone is registered with the FAA if required and don't ignore Remote ID.
