FAA Drone Regulations

Snippet of Article: "...FAA regulations are in place for drones anywhere in the U.S.: Drones must fly below 400 feet above the ground...Register your drone at FAA DroneZone either under part 107 or the Exception for Recreational Flyers. If you are not sure what kind of a drone flyer you are, check out our User Identification Tool or visit our Getting Started webpage to learn more.

All drones must be registered, except those that weigh 0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers.
Drones registered under part 107 may be flown for recreational purposes as well as under part 107.
Drones registered under the Exception for Recreational Flyers cannot be flown for Part 107 operations.

Remote Identification and Your Drone

Beginning September 16, 2023, all drone pilots required to register their drone must operate their aircraft in accordance with the remote ID rule for pilots, which gives drone owners sufficient time to upgrade their aircraft.

Drone manufacturers have until September 16, 2022 to produce drones with built-in standard remote ID. View Remote ID for Industry. The FAA also encourages the early production of remote ID broadcast modules."
