In this week’s episode, we cover a number of tips for first-time drone flyers. Before recreational operators unbox their UAS and take to the sky, it’s important to run through a mental checklist of critical items, including:
- How and why you should register your UAS with the FAA
- Airspace restrictions, both federal and local restrictions
- Insurance issues – homeowner’s insurance and one-off specialty policies
- Resources for first-time fliers: hobby shops and the Academy of Model Aeronautics
