If you’re ready to take to the skies with your first drone, you’ll want to learn the basics first.
Drone technology is getting better and better every year, making it easier for beginners to take it out of the box and take to the skies. However, even the most basic drone has a bit of a learning curve. So, if you’re ready to shoot some sweet aerial shots but don’t really know how to get off the ground, this video from Darious Britt of D4Darious shows you the basics of drone operation, from rules and regulations you need to follow before you take off to flight exercises you can practice once you’re in the air. Check it out below:

Heads up! You no longer need to register your drone with the FAA as a hobbyist.
However, you still need to have your Part 107 certification and registration if you want to operate your drone commercially.
In a stunning David versus Goliath case, John A. Taylor, a model aircraft enthusiast and insurance lawyer, beat the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Justice in a case challenging the legality of a December 2015 FAA rule requiring model aircraft to register like manned aircraft. The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the FAA’s registration rule, as it applies to model aircraft, “directly violates [a] clear statutory prohibition.”

So You Just Got A New Drone?
Operation of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) comes under the general jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration, and there may be additional state and local rules that apply. The UAS pilot is responsible for knowing, understanding and following ALL those rules. Among those rules is a requirement to register your drone if it weighs over about half a pound (0.55 to be exact), a minimum age requirement (13) to fly it unsupervised, and a list of areas where it’s not legal to fly your drone, or at least not without some prior coordination with an airport or air traffic control facility.
If you plan to use a drone for business (like aerial photography or roof inspection) there are additional rules. The UAS field is expanding much, much faster than anyone really expected, so the rules in some cases are still being developed. This makes it a bit confusing for a new UAS pilot to learn all the things he or she needs to know, but there are some excellent resources online that have pulled a lot of the information together. Of course, you can do a lot of research on your own at www.faa.gov/, but one of the best places to find a whole bunch of information in one spot is www.knowbeforeyoufly.org.
There is also a smartphone app called B4UFLY available for iPhone and Android. It’s still a bit of a work in progress, but has a lot of basic helpful information, including the capability to tell you if you’re in an area where flight is prohibited, allowed with some restrictions, or you’re just good to go. If you’re flying strictly for fun, a UAS is considered a model aircraft, and the Academy of Model Aircraft has a very good set of safety guidelines that is worth a look. You can find them at www.modelaircraft.org/files/105.pdf.
The bottom line is that your new acquisition is not a toy; it’s got the capability to do some serious damage to people and property if it isn’t operated thoughtfully and safely. Flying is a lot of fun, but it’s a lot of responsibility too. Know the rules, follow the rules, and enjoy your new UAS safely.
Drones: FAA Puts Out the New Rules; They’re Not Laws…Yet

by Nils Granholm – Cavus Media LLC
Part 107, the latest in legislative FAA goodness and the requirements for commercial drone use in the U.S., was released June 21, 2016. This is the big jump we all have been waiting for as it relates to the UAS community, and it makes the lives of those wanting to get into commercial drone work a little easier.
For those that fly for recreation, you can stop reading now and go and play. Nothing here for you.
Here is a quick sum up of what the FAA put out:
Register your aircraft with the FAA and mark the aircraft appropriately
Pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test through an “FAA-approved knowledge testing center” OR if you already hold a Part 61 certificate (often referred to as a pilot’s license), pass an online course (Part 107 training is expected to launch today at faasafety.gov)
Apply for and receive a remote pilot airman certificate with an UAS rating
Pass a pilot’s knowledge test every two years
Conduct preflight checks to ensure that UAS are in safe operational condition

The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the final Small UAS Rule this morning. The press release is available at: https://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=20515.
Please note that all provisions of the Rule, including all pilot requirements and operating rules, will be effective in August 2016, 60 days after the rule is published in the Federal Register.
Details about the rule are available on the FAA’s UAS website.

by The AllDigital Team
As exciting as drones are proving for both hobbyists and commercial filmmakers, local and federal governments in the United States are continuously enacting legislation that governs the use of drones for shooting video.
Filmmakers and video production professionals need to pay particular attention to the rules because the FAA requires anyone using drones for commercial purposes to get special permission to do so.
Have a look at the infographic below for an overview of the rules you need to know. This isn’t meant to be legal advice, just a heads-up for all the little details you must take into account when shooting commercial footage with your drone:

This site will allow you to register your UAS (‘drone’) with the FAA
aircraft, Cavus Media, commercial, DJI, drone, FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, flight, fly, free, Inspire1, jeff riegel, recreational, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, sUAS, UAS, United States
by The US Federal Aviation Administration
Back in December, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced its official registration rules for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) in the United States. It’s important that you register yourself as a user before you embark on your first flight.
The process takes about 5 minutes. Just create an account, fill out your profile, review the FAA safety guidelines, and boom — you’re officially equipped to recreationally operate a flying camera in the wild! You do not have to have your (drone) Camera in hand to register.
Until January 20th, 2016 you can register free of charge. After January 20th, all registrants may be subject to a $5 fee. That’s the equivalent of one fancy coffee you’d be missing out on.
You need to register your aircraft if it weighs between 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and up to 55 lbs. (25 kg)
You will be subject to civil and criminal penalties if you meet the criteria to register a drone and do not register.
You must use the paper registration process if…
You use your aircraft for commercial purposes
You use your aircraft for other than hobby and recreation
Your aircraft is 55 lbs. or greater
You intend to operate your aircraft outside of the United States
This registration site will allow you to register your UAS with the FAA
http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/UA/
After you register…
You MUST mark any and all aircraft with your number before you operate them.
The number must be visible without using tools. You may mark it inside the battery compartment if that is accessible. You may use any method to affix the number that ensures it remains visible, including permanent marker, label, or engraving.
To operate as a hobbyist, you must operate according to the safety guidance you have acknowledged and in accordance with a community based set of safety guidance. For further information on the safety guidance visit faa.gov/uas/model_aircraft/
Understanding the FAA’s New Drone Registration Policies

by Richard Harrington, Rhed Pixel
Learn why you need to resister your drone with the FAA in order to fly in the United States. This covers policies that affect hobbyist and commercial flyers.
If you fly a drone, quadcopter, model airplane, or UAS in the United States airspace, the Federal Aviation Administration wants you to register your device. These new regulations went into effect on December 21, 2015. While the process of restoring takes less than 5 minutes, there are a lot of hidden details buried within the numerous government documents about UAS registration.
The In-Depth Look…
Essential Information on Flying Drones

Recently, the Digital Production Buzz interviewed two founders of a company that specializes in flying drones for videography. After watching the interview, Mike wrote to share some important information and clarifications on flying drones.
Current FAA rules stipulate that no drone can be flown within 5 miles of any airport, nor can they be flown inside any national park without a special permit; and this permit does not include state parks or national forests. Also, all flights must be kept below 500 feet.
FAA Reveals Exemptions for Commercial Drones

by VideoUniversity.com
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has increased its allowance of Section 333 Petition exemptions for the commercial use of unmanned air vehicles (UAV) and drones. This does not include recreational or hobby flying. Those have their own rules. See https://www.faa.gov/uas/model_aircraft.
The FAA Exemption provides operators who wish to pursue safe and legal entry into the National Airspace a competitive advantage in the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) marketplace. This will discourage illegal operations and improve safety. The FAA believes this activity will bring significant economic benefits to the country. The process of applying for the exemption takes about two months. Several of our VU visitors have been approved already.
To operate an unmanned aircraft or drone for business, there are more stringent requirements than for hobby flying.
The FAA Grants the 333 Exemption for the Following Uses:
Search operations for missing persons.
Aerial filming and photographing inspections.
Aerial videography and cinematography.
Aerial filming and photography for coverage of events, enhanced real estate listings, and structural inspections.
Aerial videography and cinematography to enhance academic community awareness and to augment real estate listing videos.
If You Are Granted Permission
The 333 exemption does not give you permission to fly anywhere you want or however you want. You must still comply with all federal aviation and state regulations. The following are just a few of the regulations:
1. Aerial vehicle weight limit including payload is 55 pounds.
2. UA must be operated at less than 100 miles per hour.
3. Altitude less than 400 feet.
4. UA must be operated within visual line of sight of the Pilot in Command at all times.
FAA exemptions for commercial drones have increased dramatically. In early Auguest 2015, the FAA announced they have issued 1,111 Section 333 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) Exemptions Grants to-date. All of the applications which have been granted can be examined on the FAA website linked below.
There are companies that help you apply for the exemption such as Gowdy Brothers Aerospace, Drone Law, UAV Coach and others. But you can do it yourself by following the FAA instructions at https://www.faa.gov/uas/legislative_programs/section_333/how_to_file_a_petition .
The process is not that complicated, but like taxes the procedures must be followed carefully.
Drone With The Wind

by The FAA
The FAA proposed new rules for drone flight. Check out the full press release here. What does this mean for the video industry? It is actually not as bad as the last proposal that wanted all drone flyers to get a pilots license. Some high points (pun intended) are:
“An operator would have to be at least 17 years old, pass an aeronautical knowledge test and obtain an FAA UAS operator certificate.”
“To maintain certification, the operator would have to pass the FAA knowledge tests every 24 months.”
“A small UAS operator would not need any further private pilot certifications (i.e., a private pilot license or medical rating).”
With these newly proposed rules it offers some regulation around drone flight which is great for safety. What do you think about the proposed regulations and does your company operate a drone? Continue the conversation and update us here.
You can view the FAA’s Small UAS Notice of Proposed Rulemaking later today at:
