It is possible to wonder if you are a hobbyist or a professional about what it takes to fly a drone legally. 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. You should also remember that drones that weigh between 0.55 and 0.55lbs must be registered with FAA.
Take the TRUST Test
Taking the TRUST test to fly eagles and other flying robots legally requires you to learn some basic regulations that govern the use of drones. This test covers safe drone operation as well as airspace restrictions. The TRUST test can be taken online by a variety of organizations. Your certificate will be emailed to you once you pass the test. Keep this document close to your heart when flying your drone.
FAA Remote Pilot Certificate
You will need a Certificate to Authorize (COR) from FAA before you can fly your drone legally. To fly commercially, you will need to submit a request, go through a technical and operation review, and then get the certificate. 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
Before you can fly your drone legally, it must be registered with the FAA. To register a plane, you must include your full name, address and mailing address. You also need to agree to follow safety guidelines. After registration, you will be issued a unique number of ten-digits. The FAA adopted the Drone ID Marking Rule (February 25, 2019). This law requires owners of small unmanned airplanes to have a unique identifier.
Avoiding trespassing
Trespassing is a crime if you are legally flying a drone. Recording individuals without their consent is illegal in Australia. If the drone is flying above private property, it's even worse. 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 a drone legally, it is important to protect your personal data. Although privacy laws vary across countries, the principles that underpin this legislation are universal. For example, taking pictures of a private residence could be considered voyeurism. Although the intent may be good, privacy may not be respected by those who live near the drone.
