The future of aviation is here. The FAA collaborates with industry and communities to advance drone operations and integrate them into the national airspace. Whether you are flying for fun or work, get the rules, resources, and tools, to help you fly safely.
All drone pilots, new or experienced, benefit from rules and safety tips to help you fly safe. More importantly, drone safety is the law. Find relevant resources below according to how you use your drone. Whether you’re a public safety drone operator, certificated remote pilot, model aircraft flyer, or adrone racer, you’re in the right place to learn about integrating these new entrants into our national airspace system.
All drones requiring registration or drones that have been registered, including those flown for fun, for business, or for public safety, must be operated in accordance with the Remote ID rule. If you are unable to meet this requirement, the FAA has issued a policy which may help through March 16, 2024.
