[QUOTE="ICanFixIt, post: 3602083, member: 45888"] Drones under 250 grams do not require registration. Only one drone per owner over 250 grams has to be registered. It is more like the owner is registered, because any additional drones do not have to be registered. Drones have to be marked in an external VISIBLE location with the owner's name and phone number, per FAA regulations. Any commercial use of a drone puts you under a completely different set of rules, requiring actual licensing as a drone pilot. Recreational fliers of drones(regardless of drone weight) now need to take a test to prove a basic knowledge of flight safety. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/knowledge_test_updates/[/URL] All airspace above ground level is regulated by the FAA and ONLY the FAA. That includes 3 feet above the ground in your own back yard. It also includes all of the airspace above your neighbors land. Cities and other governing bodies CAN make laws restricting take-off and landing areas. That is how someone other than the FAA can control drone flying. It is all a complicated collection of rules and laws; a lot like gun laws, where failure to educate yourself can get you in trouble pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
