These can vary significantly but typically include restrictions on flying over private property or certain public spaces. It is essential that you check the laws in your region or municipality before flying a drone.
Commercial Use
Drone Regulations: Individuals and companies looking to use drones commercially such as for photography or package delivery must obtain a special certification from the FAA known as a “Part 107” certification.
