You may be wondering if you are a professional or hobbyist and what is the legal requirement to legally fly a drone. Well, the answer varies depending on what you plan to use it for. We'll be discussing the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate and Registration in this article. Make sure you pass the TRUST test before taking off. Keep in mind, however, that drones with a weight of between 0.55 and 0.55 pounds must be registered by the FAA.
Take the TRUST exam
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 as well as airspace restrictions. The TRUST test can be taken online by a variety of organizations. Once you have passed the test, you will receive your certificate via email. When flying your drone, be sure to keep this document on hand.
Take the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate
Before your drone can legally be flown, you will need to obtain a Certificate or Authorization (COR), which is issued by the FAA. To fly commercially you will need a license. You will find the certificate letting you know what is permitted and what isn't. To fly commercially, you must pass the knowledge test.
Registering a Drone
Before you can fly your drone legally, it must be registered with the FAA. To register a drone you will need to provide your full name and postal address, as well as an agreement that you will follow safety guidelines. After registration, you will be issued a unique number of ten-digits. 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
Trespassing is a crime if you are legally flying a drone. Recording people without their consent is against the law in Australia. It's even more serious if the drone is flying over a private property. While it is against the law in most states to fly your drone over private property, it is not illegal to do so on someone else's property. If you fly the drone at higher altitudes, it is legal.
Protecting your data
When flying legally, it is crucial to protect your data. Although many countries do not have a specific law regarding privacy, the principles behind this legislation are the same wherever you are flying a drone. A private residence being photographed could be considered voyeurism. The intent of the drone's pilot may be admirable, but privacy for the surrounding people may not.
