The next question you will want to ask yourself is: do I need a remote pilots license to operate my drone?

Check out one of my earlier posts to determine if you do using a simple flow chart: CFI Brief: Earning a Remote Pilot Certificate (Drone)

Lastly, if you have access to the Apple or Android device, download the free FAA B4UFLY Smartphone Application. B4UFLY is an easy-to-use smartphone app that helps unmanned aircraft operators determine whether there are any restrictions or requirements in effect at the location where they want to fly.
