Civilian drone laws

Civilian drone laws vary by country and region but generally require drone operators to register their drones if they exceed certain weight limits. In the U.S., for example, drones under 0.55 pounds typically don’t need to be registered, while those over must be registered with the FAA. Operators must follow guidelines such as avoiding flying above 400 feet, maintaining visual line of sight, not flying near airports or people, and obtaining waivers for certain activities. Respecting privacy and no-fly zones, like military bases or designated events, is also essential. Always check local regulations before flying to ensure compliance.
