You may be wondering if you are a professional or hobbyist and what is the legal requirement to legally fly a drone. It all depends on what purpose you intend to use the drone for. In this article we will talk about the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate, registration, and how you can avoid trespassing. Make sure you pass the TRUST test before taking off. Also, keep in mind that the FAA requires that drones weighing between 0.55 lbs be registered with them.
Taking the TRUST test
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 airspace restrictions as well safe drone operation. You can complete the TRUST test online for free through various organizations. After passing the test, your certificate will be sent to you by email. When flying your drone, keep this document handy.
How to get 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. For commercial flying, you must apply, complete a technical review, and obtain the license. The certificate will tell you what is allowed and what is not. To fly commercially you will need to pass the knowledge test.
Registering a drone
In order to fly your drone legally, you must first register it 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 you register, you will receive your unique 10-digit registration number. On February 25, 2019, the FAA implemented the Drone-ID Marking Rule, which requires small unmanned aircraft owners to display a unique identifier on their drones.
Avoiding trespassing
It is illegal to fly a drone without permission. In Australia, recording people without their consent is illegal. Even more serious is the possibility of the drone flying on private property. In most states, it is illegal to fly a drone over private property without permission, but that doesn't mean that flying a drone in another person's property is illegal. A drone can be legally flown if it is kept at higher altitudes.
Protecting your data
When flying legally, it is crucial to protect your data. Even though privacy laws in many countries are different, the principles behind drone law are the same. 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.
