Before you begin flying your drone, determine what type of drone flyer you are:
Recreation Flyer and Modeler, Community-Based Organization, Certificated Remote Pilot or Commercial Operator, Public Safety or Government User, Educational User
Determining the above will let you know what rules and regulations apply to you when you fly. Then you can search to find out areas that are safe for you to fly and the locations where you will need to get permission or approval to fly.
Register your drone:
UAS or drones must be registered with the FAA.
Registration is valid for 3 years (must update at the 3 year expiration date)
You can find out about and download the mobile app, B4UFLY on the FAA site.
