FAA regulations for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) apply to all drone pilots. Key rules include obtaining a remote pilot certificate, registering your drone, and adhering to airspace restrictions.
UAV operators must comply with airspace regulations, avoid flying over people, and always maintain line of sight while operating the drone. Additionally, drones are prohibited from flying near airports without proper authorization.
Ensuring safety is paramount in drone operations. This includes conducting pre-flight checks, avoiding hazardous conditions, and being aware of weather limitations. Always follow safety protocols to prevent accidents.
Respecting privacy and ethical considerations when using drones is crucial. Avoid invading other people's privacy, and always seek permission before recording or photographing individuals or private property.
