Even if you are flying a compact drone that doesn’t need to be registered with the FAA, there are a number of things that you should avoid. You should keep your drone at or below 400 feet and have it within sight while flying. Don’t fly drones near airports, in restricted airspace, near emergency response efforts, or over stadiums or sporting events. Although many drones feature wind resistance, it’s also best to avoid flying your drone in inclement weather.
