Hobbyists and professionals may wonder what you need to do in order to fly a drone legally. There are many factors that will affect the way you use your drone. In this article, we'll discuss the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate, Registration, and how to avoid trespassing. Remember to take the TRUST Test before you start flying. The FAA requires that drones of 0.55 lbs or less be registered.
Take the TRUST assessment
To pass the TRUST test and legally fly eagles or other flying robots, you must first understand the regulations that govern drone use. This test covers safe drone operation and airspace restrictions. Many organizations offer the TRUST exam online. Once you have completed the test you will receive an email with your certificate. When flying your drone, keep this document handy.
Take the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate
You will need a Certificate to Authorize (COR) from FAA before you can fly your drone legally. In order to fly commercially, your application must be approved. The certificate will inform you of what is allowed and prohibited. To fly commercially you will need to pass the knowledge test.
Registering a drone
To fly your drone legally, first register it with FAA. You must give your full name, postal and physical addresses and agree to follow safety guidelines when you register a drone. Once you are registered, you'll receive a unique ten digit number. The FAA introduced the Drone ID Marking Rule on February 25, 2019. This requires drone owners who are small unmanned aircraft to display a unique identifier.
Avoid trespassing
When you are flying a drone legally, you must avoid trespassing. In Australia, recording people without their consent is illegal. It is even more dangerous if the drone flies over private property. Although it is illegal in most states to fly drones over private property without permission, this does not mean that you cannot fly drones on the property of another person. If you fly the drone at higher altitudes, it is legal.
Protecting your data
Protecting your data is essential when you fly a drone legally. Although privacy laws are not common in all countries, they are generally the same everywhere you fly a drone. For example, taking pictures of a private residence could be considered voyeurism. The intent of the drone's pilot may be admirable, but privacy for the surrounding people may not.
