How can I fly my drone legally and what is the difference between flying recreationally and commercially?Updated 8 months ago

Before you fly your drone, you need to know which regulations apply to your flight. 

The default regulation for drones weighing under 55 pounds is Part 107. Almost all non-recreational drone flying is regulated by Part 107. 

Flying recreationally means only for personal use, please follow the steps below: 

1. Register with the FAA - Here
2. Download the B4UFLY app - Recreational users who only fly their drone for fun, now have an improved app – B4UFLY – to help show where they can and cannot fly with interactive maps.
