Drone Rules: Everything You Need to Know Before You Fly
U.S. UPDATE: Effective December 21, 2015, anyone who owns a small unmanned aircraft of a certain weight must register with the FAA’s UAS registry before they fly outside. More information can be found here.
One of the more popular questions I get asked is if there are any rules for flying drones and do I need a drone license. The simple answer is YES there are rules and NO you don’t need a drone license (yet)!
I remember this was actually one of the biggest hurdles for me once I got my first drone because there was no easy way to find out what the rules were for flying a drone. Surprisingly, the only information I could find at the time were the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) rules for flying small model aircraft (I couldn’t find the word “drone” anywhere on the FAA’s website which made it all the more confusing).
If you just want to fly for fun then all you need to do is follow the drone rules below
