Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Regulations

Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) regulations govern the operation of drones to ensure safety and privacy. They typically require operators to register their drones, follow specific flight rules—such as staying below certain altitudes, avoiding aircraft and crowds—and obtain necessary authorizations for commercial use. Operators must keep the drone within sight, not fly near airports without permission, and respect privacy rights. These rules aim to prevent accidents and misuse, fostering safe integration of drones into everyday airspace while encouraging responsible usage for hobbies, photography, or commercial purposes.
