The Feds Just Put the US Back in the Global Drone RaceWired |
Operators must keep their drones within their visual line of sight, must only fly in daylight (unless the aircraft has anti-collision lights), and can’t fly faster than 100 mph, or above 400 feet (with a few exceptions).
The FAA will now require drone operators to get a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating, or fly under direct supervision by someone with such a certificate.
There's still work to do though. As the article mentions, the rules don't cover recreational use, privacy or intrusion issues.
So, for the time being, I can keep kamikaze-diving my neighbor's cat without a pilot's license.
