Before they can be flown, these UASs need to be registered with FAA. If certain conditions are met the FAA will allow commercial operators to fly these drones.
Do I need special training to fly a drone?
To fly your drone, you don't have to be an expert in flight mechanics. All you need is a remote control unit and some basic knowledge of flight mechanics.
Are drones allowed on public events?
If you observe the rules, then you can fly a drone wherever you want. If you want to fly your drone in public events like parades, festivals, concerts, etc., you must get permission from the event organizers.

How To
How to Fly Drones at a Beginning Level
A drone is a remotely-controlled aircraft that is used for aerial photography and surveillance. Drones have been in use since World War II. DJI's Phantom series of quadcopters was the first to be commercially used. Since then, there have been many different types of drones available, from beginner-friendly models like the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 to professional-grade multi-rotor craft like the DJI Mavic Pro.
There are several ways to fly a drone, including;
-
Remote control - This method uses a control device attached to your hand, which enables you to steer the drone through its flight path. There are two main types for controllers: Joysticks or On/Off switches, which can be used to control the drone's flight path.
-
Manual Control- This allows you to control your drone remotely via GPS coordinates. You must keep track of the location where you want the drone to go and follow the instructions from the app.
-
Autonomous Flight: This means that the drone will take care of all the piloting. It basically flies autonomously without any human intervention. The drone must be equipped with a camera and sensors that can capture images and data in order to fly autonomously.
-
Triggered Flight – This method is very similar to manual flight. The pilot creates a route that the drone will follow until it reaches the destination. After the preprogrammed route is complete, the drone will automatically land and return to its base.
-
Landing Gear: Some drones have landing gear that allows them safely to land in case they lose power or run low on battery.
-
Goggles: Some pilots use goggles in order to protect themselves against debris when operating.
-
Camera - Some drones are equipped with cameras allowing you to capture photos and videos from above.
-
Obstacles - Some drones can be equipped with obstacle avoidance systems that prevent them from crashing into obstacles.
-
Speed - Some drones can travel at speeds over 40 mph.
-
Battery Life: Most drones have a battery life of between 20 and 30 minutes depending on how many power sources you use.
-
Range - Depending on the model, some drones can travel up to 30 miles away.
-
Power source - Some drones require an external power source; others work off internal batteries.
-
Weight - Some drones can be as light as 1 pound while others can reach 4 pounds.
-
Size - Drones come in many sizes, from small gadgets that fit in one's hands to large craft that weigh more than 50 lbs.
-
Price - From high-end models that cost thousands of dollars to low-cost options that start at $100, all drones fall under a certain price category.
