FAA Releases Video For New Small UAV Operators

Geared To The Consumer Who Receives A New UAV As A Holiday Gift

If you think you might be receiving a small UAV as a holiday gift, the FAA has released a video outlining some of its rules and recommendations for operating the aircraft.

The video was produced in conjunction with the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) AUVSI, and the Small UAV Coalition.

The video lays out some "best practices" for safe operation of a UAV for hobbyists. "Fly your unmanned aircraft below 400 feet," the agency says, and "don't fly your unmanned aircraft beyond your line of sight."

The video also recommends taking a lesson before flying the aircraft, and don't fly near people or stadiums. It also says not to fly anything "that weighs more than 55 pounds."

And finally, "Do fly for fun. Don't fly for payment or commercial purposes, unless specifically authorized by the FAA."
