FAA Introduces New Regulations for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Fly Safe with Your Drone |
| |
|
Know the Rules, Register, Download the App
When you fly your drone anywhere in the nation's airspace, you automatically become part of the U.S. aviation system. Under the law, your drone is an aircraft, and you have the responsibility to operate safely, just as a Cessna or 747 pilot does.
The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) registry is now live and ready for UAS owners to use at
www.faa.gov/uas/registration.
All aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds (approx. 25 kilograms), including payloads such as on-board cameras, must be registered.
Remember these general rules when you fly:
* Fly below 400 feet altitude.
* Keep your unmanned aircraft in sight at all times.
* Never fly near manned aircraft, especially near airports (within 5 miles).
* Never fly over groups of people, stadiums or sporting events.
* Never fly near emergency response efforts.
The FAA has also released a smartphone app that can help users understand restrictions around flying their devices. B4UFLY tells users about current or upcoming requirements and restrictions in areas of the National Airspace System (NAS).
