I already mentioned that the FAA has strict rules when it comes to operating drones. These rules don’t cover all drones (miniature drones still aren’t monitored but that’s because they’re too weak to go over 50 meters, yet alone anything higher than that) but you should still take note of them.
For instance, the most infamous FAA regulation is the one revolving around the line of sight flying. Basically, people living in the USA are only allowed to fly their drones as long as they maintain visual contact with them. If the contact ends, they’re entering the field of BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) and could face fees or even jail time. In addition to that, I’ll also remind you that you should not fly your drone above 400 feet under any circumstances… unless you’re flying for commercial purposes and have obtained written permission from the regulating bodies.
