How do I follow the new FAA Rules, Local Laws AND keep my DRONE from being CONFISCATED, get FINES, TICKETS or even ARRESTED by Police or FAA? How do I fly a drone legally in New York City and follow drone rules? If you're asking what are the NEW drone regulations, what are the new FAA rules for hobbyists, what are the local drone laws, how do I find them, where can I fly my drone near me or how do I find out where to fly a drone, even near an airport controlled airspace ... you're not alone. I receive these questions often on the Alien Drones channel and I think it's because no one really wants to believe it is such a pain in the neck to truly know where and how to fly legally in the US, and spoiler alert, simply opening up B4Ufly or Airmap and see that it shows "good to go" doesn't cut it. Nothing exists that brings the federal, state and local rules together in one place, AND it is constantly moving, so in all fairness this ain't easy! So ignorance is bliss then, right? Secondly, most people simply aren't willing to put in the kind of effort that is currently required to get a valid answer on where it is legal to fly a drone anywhere in the United States simply for a hobby. Pecking at an app for 30 seconds should be good enough, right? Well, tell that to the officer when he shows up, see how that works for ya! Finding a legal spot locally for that DJI is IMPORTANT as well as the FAA airspace rules so here's my guide on how I locate a spot that considers most everything before flying in the U.S..
As a side note, as I'm in the U.S. this covers this area so apologies to those in other countries. Pilots outside the US certainly can benefit immensely from the same due diligence process but obviously the details may be different for you in different countries. Wish I could help but hey, I've got my own problems here, right? LOL!
Note: There was no flight over people during this flight (Duh). How's he do that? 😎 Wide angle lenses are too easy to zoom and shift... Ha! Lastly, thank you to my eagle-eye VO for keeping things in sight!!

Just speak Spanish and the cops will let you go

Excellent. The one thing that bothers me is encountering a cop that is unaware of drone regulations and has a chip on his shoulder.

I have been asked by our local tv station for drone footage of their coverage area, towns, and landmarks. I am part 107 and insured. But flying in new (sub 30,000 population) towns I have discovered that going physically to the police station before I fly has made a huge difference and has put my mind at ease. I ask to speak to someone about flying in town and offer my FAA card, proof of insurance, my business card and any other info they require and make copies of said documents. I also offer my assistance in any future events where I might be helpful. I figure it’s best to be up front with them, let them know why I am here, and if they ask me not to fly then I won’t. All officers and Chiefs I have spoken to has thanked me for coming to them and asking before I fly. To me it is common courtesy and in today’s world people can be suspicious and frightened by the smallest of things, especially a drone flying overhead. Hope this helps as well.

Great vid. Best phrase: “Fly it like you stole it” ... I do that all the time. Get in stealthy, fly, get out. Minimize your time and footprint. If someone does approach, 90% of the time I acknowledge them and then show them the view from 200ft or whatever. I have NEVER had anyone complain or threaten after they see the footage live on my monitor. They are usually thrilled to see it, and then I tell them “this is why we fly” and they walk off having had a great experience with a drone in flight.

I received an inexpensive drone for Christmas 2023. I realized there were restrictions but NOT at this level. I was considering buying a much more expensive drone but this video has changed my mind. As a recreational flyer, all these restrictions take all the enjoyment out of a quick 20 minute flight. I can see that government officials have made it nearly impossible to fly and to enjoy this hobby. I will NOT be buying another drone and wish all of you well if you continue to fly. All this hassle has taken any enjoyment from this hobby because of all the time consuming research needed just to fly legally.

They wont stop till we cant fly at all……. So tired of the “ land of the free,” when it only costs money 💰

Lol...you couldn’t operate your drone off that pier, but someone could set up a tent there!

it's much easier to break the rules than follow them

@joefletcher2948

The only law is common sence flying for me i will never back down or comply ,thats how we fly happy ,

I found this a very interesting and informative video. Although I'm not currently a drone owner, and I also live in the UK. Actually the more I discover the places it's illegal to fly a drone, or the more places that are restricted, the more it puts me off even getting one! However, as a disabled person, having one would prove very useful because I would be able to photograph things and places I would never physically be able to access.

As a new drone owner and learning the ropes as I go, it’s very helpful to come across videos here on KZfaq that explain some of the nuances of uas operations. I’ve learned much from watching videos and have made the online acquaintance of the FAA a number of times already whenever I don’t understand something. Thank you for the information you’re sharing Alien Drones.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!! TREMENDOUS VALUE!!! People say research federal/state/local laws before flying, but no one ever shared how to do all that in such details.

@JonPeroutka 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this info. I'm glad you pointed out the supersedence of FAA's jurisdiction of navigable airspace over state or local regulations. I was previously unaware of that. Now I feel more informed as to the laws overall.

I also want to add and say thank you for making this video. Definitely tops all of the other drone videos for this reason alone. Thanks for showing us how to do all of this. The video wasn't too long or too short, straight to the point and you also included everything on the screen for us to follow along :) 👍

I concur with other Drone enthusiasts here that this video is very helpful. I'm a beginner that wants to do the right thing as well and appreciate this helpful guidance.

Just came across this video. Love It! I try to be a responsible drone operator and have went through similar research on some area's were I want to fly. One was an Army Corp of Engineers park. The ranger told me UAS are not permitted to fly in the park. An email to the District Ranger yielded the same response along with a reference to the regulation number. A little research on the regulation in question and I found a Army Corps of Engineers document stating that all they can regulate is take offs and landings and that the FAA regulates the airspace. I printed it out and carry it with me just in case there's a problem. Subscribed.

I know I’m watching this 11 months after it was posted, but this is still a very informative, helpful and useful video. Great info and great tips for both hobbyists and Part 107 pilots. Thanks!!
