Following these rules helps keep people, your drone and our airspace safe:

1. Fly only for recreational purposes (personal enjoyment).

2. Follow the safety guidelines of an FAA-recognized Community-Based Organization (CBO).

3. Note: For more information on how to become an FAA-recognized CBO, read Advisory Circular 91-57D.

4. Keep your drone within the visual line of sight or use a visual observer who is co-located (physically next to) and in direct communication with you.

5. Give way to and do not interfere with other aircraft.

6. Fly at or below FAA-authorized altitudes in controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, and surface Class E designated for an airport) only with prior FAA authorization by using LAANC or DroneZone.

7. Fly at or below 400 feet in Class G (uncontrolled) airspace.
   Note: Anyone flying a drone in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) is responsible for flying within the FAA guidelines and regulations. That means it is up to you as a drone pilot to know the rules: Where Can I Fly? 

8. Take The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) and carry proof of test passage when flying.

9. Have a current FAA registration, mark (PDF) your drones on the outside with the registration number, and carry proof of registration with you when flying.
   Note: As of September 16, 2023, if your drone requires an FAA registration number it will also be required to broadcast Remote ID information (unless flown within a Federally-Recognized Identification Area, or FRIA). For more information on drone registration, visit How to Register Your Drone.

10. Do not operate your drone in a manner that endangers the safety of the national airspace system.
